Gunbuster - Episodes 1 - 6 [Final] I really wanted to watch Gunbuster again with Aim for the Ace still fresh in my mind to understand just how much it really influenced it and yeah, Gunbuster for the most part completely re-uses the basic situational context and character dynamics of Aim for...

Aim for the Ace! - Episodes 10 - 26 [Final] (Blu-ray) I really liked Aim for the Ace, it certainly lived up to the hype. The character stories and development were fantastic and the animation while at times was understandable quite basic at others was incredibly creative and did a great job...

Aim for the Ace! - Episodes 1 - 9 (Blu-ray) I started this on Aim for the Ace's 50th anniversary, I've wanted to watch it for ages and finally get to see it glorious HD. I've read and heard so much about Aim for the Ace! (predominately from endless discussion about Gunbuster) that it's hard...

Golden Warrior Gold Lightan - Episodes 3 - 5 Kuromukuro - Episodes 21 - 26 [Final] I was quite pleasantly surprised by Kuromukuro. The synopsis made it sound quite generic and it's influences were quite obvious but despite a few mis-steps along the way I enjoyed Kuromukuro a lot and I found...

Golden Warrior Gold Lightan - Episodes 1 & 2 Started a re-watch of this for review on the next episode of the podcast. Kuromukuro - Episodes 14 - 20 It's got less goofy and more intense through the second half and I'm quite enjoying it. I really like the anime so was cautious but optimistic...

Kuromukuro - Episodes 1 - 13 I finished my books and wanted something for the flight home (and entertain me while my wife was having some treatments in the spa at the end of last week) so looked again at my watchlist on Netflix and I've had Kuromukuro on there for years so decided to finally...

Yakitori - Episodes 1 - 6 [Final] I was curious about this when it appeared on Netflix and started watching on the plane when I set off on holiday at the weekend. I quite like rotoscoped animation and while the story and characters were a bit by the numbers (I could easily predict the story...

F - Episodes 18 - 31 [Final] I have have absolutely loved F, it was right up my street!!! I'll admit it's a bit of an odd show and I expect could be a bit marmite across a wider audience but that aspect was was one reasons why I liked it, I actually liked the characters and their stories, it...

F - Episodes 12 - 17 Really enjoying this and @HWR so glad you enjoyed it too, and I agree it's something I would love to see Discotek release. Synduality Noir - Episodes 4 - 6 I am liking Synduality Noir way more than I was expecting!!! Action Girl Detective Club A short (26 minute) one...

F - Episodes 1 - 11 As a petrol head I watch all motorsports related anime and have been wanting to watch F for ages (and I wanted to watch it before Overtake! airs later in October). It's such an odd title for a show and makes searching for it rather tricky! The title card even describes the...

Leina Stohl: Legend of Wolf Sword - Episodes 1 - 3 [Final] Lightning Trap: Leina & Laika Having finished the main TV series I decided to watch the OVAs again (I've never watched them back-to-back) and all the extras that were on the disc. Legend of Wolf Sword is an interesting spin-off with...

Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 158 - 161 [Final] (Blu-ray) So the TV series comes to a close. Which I am sad about, I have thoroughly enjoyed Ranma 1/2. Nattohen maybe didn't quite live up to the original season's animation or emotional writing highs but the whole thing entertained me and made me laugh...

Psycho Pass: Providence (Cinema) The film was essentially a police procedural/action movie but I had a good time with it, I thought the story was interesting and well paced. There was also something about the look of the film that really appealed to me as well, especially in overall colour...

Vampire Hunter D (Blu-ray) I have been wanting to watch VHD again for while, just one of those mood things, I still love it and looks gorgeous in HD. Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 147 - 157 (Blu-ray) Only a handful of episodes to go... Synduality Noir - Episode 3 Still quite enjoying this. I really...

Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos - Episodes 41 - 47 [Final] Revenge of Cronos is a really good mecha show it's got a bit of everything and has some really nice mecha designs in it as well. It's a real shame that it always seems to get overlooked and live in Transformers' shadow in perpetuity...

Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos - Episodes 34 - 40 Revenge of Cronos really gets into its stride in the second half and this is another strong run of episodes that starts to put the pieces in place for the series conclusion. Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 139 - 144 (Blu-ray) Back onto Ranma 1/2 to...

Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos - Episodes 25 - 33 There has been some really good episodes in this run, especially 33 which had good tension and some fantastic and imaginative animation. Break-Age A late 90's one shot OVA that had a simple and self contained story that made it an easy and...

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - Episode 24 [Final] The main story wrapped up a bit too quickly imho but I really liked that they gave plenty of room for a proper epilogue at the end. I have loved G-witch and it has been consistently excellent from start to finish and for me has...
