A dear friend of mine eagerly anticipated this episode. Hope it pleased him.
Brief Thoughts On: Mars of Destruction
Mars of Destruction is worth watching just to laugh at it, but that Idea Factory had the audacity to sell it is nothing short of tragic
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: 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: FAKE
FAKE mainly exists for the benefit of its existing fans, though it was certainly not unenjoyable for a newcomer.
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: Munto
Munto is a series characterized by missed opportunities and writing that consistently fails to deliver on its interesting premise.
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: 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: 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: 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: Highlander
Comparisons between Highlander and Sword of the Stranger are inevitable, which doesn't bode well for the former.
Brief Thoughts On: Cipher
Something resembling an OVA
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: Wizardry
It's a fascinating origin story for an anime adaptation. Fortunately, Wizardry is more than just a piece of history.
Brief Thoughts On: Kizuna
Kizuna isn't emblematic of a healthy relationship, but the absurdity of its drama is "fun" in its own way.

When children really are devils in disguise.
Brief Thoughts On: Hyper Doll
Honestly, Hyper Doll is probably one of the easiest OVA releases of ye olden days to pick up today. Even for those spoiled by modern anime.
Brief Thoughts On: Kick-Heart
Kick-Heart is a short film created, directed, and partly animated by beloved arthouse weirdo Masaaki Yuasa.
Brief thoughts on Kare Kano
They still snuck in some explosions.
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: 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: 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: Kennel Tokorozawa
Kennel Tokorozawa is very weird. In ways that go beyond the typical eccentricities we are familiar with in 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: Mermaid Forest
Think twice before you dabble in seafood.
Brief Thoughts On: Yutori-chan
The comedy in Yutori-chan mixes familiar office gags with all sorts of jokes about the generational gap between its protagonist.
Brief Thoughts On: Dead Heat
If you just want to relax and watch some phenomenal animated racing though, then Dead Heat has you covered.
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: Harem Camp!
Ultimately though, its the goofy story that makes Harem Camp come together. Give it a chance and you may be pleasantly surprised.
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: 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: 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: Amon Saga
Amon Saga feels like an author transcribing the coolest stories from their tabletop RPG and bringing them to animation.
Brief Thoughts On: Crossing Time
The tiniest slices of life
Brief Thoughts On: Kujibiki Unbalance
The anime that didn’t exist.
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.
