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: Shoka
Shoka falls somewhere between a seinen reinterpretation of Naruto and a Masaaki Yuasa fever dream. If that makes any sense.

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.

It's a fascinating origin story for an anime adaptation. Fortunately, Wizardry is more than just a piece of history.

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: 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: 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: Kizuna
Kizuna isn't emblematic of a healthy relationship, but the absurdity of its drama is "fun" in its own way.

Munto is a series characterized by missed opportunities and writing that consistently fails to deliver on its interesting premise.

Brief Thoughts On: The Dark Myth
"Show, Don't Tell" is a concept utterly foreign to The Dark Myth. A shame, because its animation is quite alright.

Brief Thoughts On: Night on the Galactic Railroad
I tried to stay open-minded about it, but Night on the Galactic Railroad never recaptured my interest from there.

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.

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: 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: 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: Dragon Pink
I can totally recommend skipping around Dragon Pink to appreciate some quality fantasy hentai, but its probably best to skip the story.

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: 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: 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.
