Anime remakes are not all too common, but it often surprises me what kind of shows end up getting a second chance. That remains true to this very day with remakes like Shaman King, but even in the …

Brief Thoughts On: Megumi
An animated version of the story behind Megumi Yokota and her abduction by North Korean spies. Not recommended if you need a happy ending.
Brief Thoughts On: Kaichuu!
I was in a sports mood and stumbled upon this anime by accident, but maybe Kaichuu! wasn't the best pick for pride month.
Brief Thoughts On: Shoka
Shoka falls somewhere between a seinen reinterpretation of Naruto and a Masaaki Yuasa fever dream. If that makes any sense.
Brief Thoughts On: Canary
Canary is a short and inoffensive OVA, with a curious history attached to it. Not good, but certainly not bad either.
Brief Thoughts On: FAKE
FAKE mainly exists for the benefit of its existing fans, though it was certainly not unenjoyable for a newcomer.
Brief Thoughts On: Highlander
Comparisons between Highlander and Sword of the Stranger are inevitable, which doesn't bode well for the former.
Brief Thoughts On: Rance
The greatest hero of all time it also the greatest lecher known to man. When Rance comes to save the day, be sure to hide your daughters.
Brief Thoughts On: Grandeek
Grandeek is based on a Kohime Oose manga series, of which 1 installment went on indefinite hiatus and another was cancelled after 1 chapter.
Brief Thoughts On: Ontama!
At five episodes of ten to fifteen minutes a piece, Ontama is an anime that I can strongly recommended to most viewers.
Brief Thoughts On: Cipher
Something resembling an OVA
Brief Thoughts On: Kizuna
Kizuna isn't emblematic of a healthy relationship, but the absurdity of its drama is "fun" in its own way.
Brief Thoughts On: Metamorphosis
Saki's tale is certainly a tragic, but the way it's told makes it evident that Metamorphosis is still beholden to limitations of the medium.
Brief Thoughts On: Wizardry
It's a fascinating origin story for an anime adaptation. Fortunately, Wizardry is more than just a piece of history.
Brief Thoughts On: Munto
Munto is a series characterized by missed opportunities and writing that consistently fails to deliver on its interesting premise.

Brief Thoughts On: Dragon’s Heaven
While the introduction to it is rough, Dragon's Heaven does have a very interesting setting and lore to it.
Brief Thoughts On: Magical Kanan
Magical Kanan creates an upsetting contrast by taking staples of the genre and filtering them through its flavor of rape-tastic dark fantasy.
Brief Thoughts On: Happy World
Happy World is a magical girlfriend story with a focus on character development mixed with some lewd asides.
Brief Thoughts On: Hanappe Bazooka
A lesser-known Nagai story
Brief thoughts On: Wakako-zake
A series of culinary adventures, Wakako-Zake is a must watch series if you plan on visiting Japan someday and want to know where to eat.
Brief Thoughts On: Candy Boy
A peculiar title for a series that features 0 male characters aside, Candy Boy manages to be a short but pleasant yuri anime.
Brief Thoughts On: Growlanser IV
If you're in the mood for a political anime, then Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of Time offers that in a uniquely short format.
Brief Thoughts On: Elf 17
So many of its contemporaries dabbled in gore and sex, so I appreciate that Elf 17 focuses on keeping the action fun.
Brief Thoughts On: Shadows House
Shadows House certainly has the look & feel that I also loved in Kuro, so it's a shame that everything else failed to impress.
Brief Thoughts On: Mermaid Forest
Think twice before you dabble in seafood.
Brief Thoughts On: Robotica * Robotics
Soubi's approach to stylized visuals are going to be decisive in determining whether you'll enjoy Robotica * Robotics or not.
Brief Thoughts On: Galactic Pirates
Comparing Galactic Pirates to Dirty is unavoidable, I feel, but such comparisons are utterly one-sided in favor of the latter
Brief Thoughts On: Strait Jacket
I watched Strait Jacket with the same level of investment you'd afford to a random, cheesy action movie that nobody has ever heard about.
Brief Thoughts On: Honobono Log
It's short length and sweet stories make a Honobono Log a romance anime you shouldn't skip out on. An espresso shot of love.
Brief Thoughts On: A-Channel
A-Channel is just frustratingly serviceable. It's basically a template anime that never dips low and never rises far.
Brief Thoughts On: Puppet Princess
Puppet Princess has the gore of a typical grimdark OVA, matched with a more tragic depiction of life in feudal Japan.
Brief Thoughts On: Skeeter Rabbit!!
I don't have any connection with dancing or hip hop whatsoever, but I still got completely hooked on Skeeter Rabbit.
Brief Thoughts On: Ningyo (1964)
Serving as one of Osamu Tezuka's very first films, Ningyo is an interesting part of anime history to look back on.
Brief Thoughts On: Fire Tripper
Releasing in 1985 and based on a manga by Rumiko Takahashi, Fire Tripper often goes forgotten these days. I'd like to see that changed.
Brief Thoughts On: Sayonara Football
I am not sure how Sayonara Football would hold up to actual fans of sports manga, but I can confidently recommend it to my fellow laymen.
Brief Thoughts On: High Score
High Score is short enough that, if anything about it seems even mildly interesting to you, then you may as well just give it a watch.
