All purpose Cat Girl Nuku-Nuku
From the same artist as 3X3 Eyes ,Yuzo Takada the artist make this anime one of his best yet!.This one is very hillarious and I guarantee you will laugh a lot.Watch this anime after a serious movie or something like that if you want to laugh even more.As you watch the following volumes it just get more and more funny.Highly recommended

Bastard!!
The cartoon isn't known to the majority of the world YET!!.But this very good series and it really impressed me ,it reminds me of Lodoss in some way.The story is sort of heavy,weird and occasionaly a burst of comedy. The drawings are very good, and each episodes is more intense and exciting then the last.The story has also love in it,but what really makes the strengh of Bastard!! are the great battle with magical sequences plus some gore.Dark Schneider is a cool character but most of the other names are funny, .So if you don't have anything to watch, try to find this one, it's a damn good 15 episodes series!(It's so far only from Fansub)

Battle Angel
Some of you may know it under the name of Gunnm or Battle Angel Alita.Superb animation, drawing by Nobuteru Yuki and a story line that is awesome the want you WANT! Notice that this is the kind of anime that you either like fantastically or you hate it with all your might. Recommended.

Black Magic M-66
I didn't expect something great from this tiltle but I was wrong! It's just great! The animation is above the standard for OAV, the story is is intriguing and ingenius but the music the music is monotonous,roughly there's at least two musics in it ONLY!! So if you want to see a good action-suspense anime, that is not too long (45 min.) and your a bit deaf, Black Magic is for you. Because it's not long enough to be worth purchasing, let's say:Recommended for a rent.

Bubblegum Crisis
The mother reference for all the "Babes in battle suits"category. It's full of action, girls and all the other stuff guys like to see in anime(no ofense for you girls reader). It seems to be quite popular from what I see on the net and hear in the streets but personnaly I thought that it was too normal.The drawings and the animation are great but there's something I didn't like at all.Well if you want, you can give it a try and have some money to waste,GO FOR IT!!

Dragon Ball (Z)
Dragon Ball, the anime that made me discover how powerful an artist can make his character.Basically is great,there's humor,fantastic action,suspense but..the powers are a bit over exacerated and there's too much chatting.I remember in one chapter they was beginning to fight but then they started chatting and they just chat for the next 4 chapter!! .Well if your a die hard fan it's ok (The artist Akira Toriyama drew the character's from Chrono Trigger in SNES).You probably know that the Dragon Ball TV serie is playing in North America and this serie is more of the comedy-action type.The second series, Dragon Ball Z, is more of the serious type but there is still a touch of comedy.As for the third serie, Dragon Ball GT, It's the worst among the lot..basically I like the first 2 series better.That's usually happens when you do a sequel without the original artist.To Conclude die hard fans will buy everything about DBZ they see

Fatal Fury =Tale Of The Hungry Wolf
Probably you heard it from the game Fatal Fury or the King Of Fighter Games.This anime actually shows what really happen and the motif of the game Fatal Fury1.Although the anime is good one thing brought down this anime.The ending isn't really what you would expect if you know the game.It's ok.

Fatal Fury The Movie
Among the two Fatal Fury anime this is the best.With more new characters and old ones furthermore WITHOUT following a game,this anime leaves you just thinking was will happen next!!.If you have a choice to watch this cartoons,watch it in order or the oldest will lag the excitement it suppose to have.Simply Wonderfull!!

Final Fantasy
A big dissapointment if you have played the game in SNES.Compare to the game it lag the sustaintal music from the game with the action and graphics.Then again this is an anime and not a game,compare two other anime this anime is rated below average but if you know the story in the game FF5(Japanese) in SNES it's OK.Nothing better else to do?Buy it!

Giant Robo
By the title alone you will probably guest it is a kiddy anime,but GUEST AGAIN!!.This anime is partically flawless in everything single thing,this is almost everyone dream anime cartoon with an arcane mix of Martial Arts and Sci-Fi. Highly Recommended

Macross 2
Don't get mix up!! This has nothing to do with Robotech.This is actually a continuation from the popular series Macross.Basically the action is superd and the song is great but the storyline just lag something from my point of view.Either which way is OK

Macross 7
I've always been a Macross fan and compare to Macross Plus, it was the only one with the most humour.Big surprise, I liked it eventhough it had no connections to Robotech.I know that the japanese public didn't really appreciate but it is still great for an animefun little series. Now, how does it looks (graphically).I would say that it's TV standard, not great, not horrifying, they do use a lot of the same scenes tough (probably to save time and money).The character design is nothing exceptionnal but those little characters are SO cute, especially the poor little girl who always want to see Basara.Now the story, it's something like a guy name Basara wants to stop people fighting by singing in his Valkirie; huh... let's say the story is not that great BUT the music is quite good but it is a lot too repetitive, like he sings the same 3 songs in each episodes.In conclusion, if you want some real Macross, just go buy Macross Plus, but if your a big big fan of the series or just someone who don't have anything to watch, you'll probable like Macross 7 anyway. It's only available through FanSub in America... So it's Recommended

Macross Plus
Yeah, yeah! Everybody say that its the better OAV of all time but that's not what I think.It's good, sure, but the there's some parts where you ask yourself: "What the hell were they thinking about to put such a stupid scene?".I mean certain scenes just don't match the time of the scene with the suspence.etc.Among the Macross Anime this is the best I've seen.Very Recommended

Ninja Scroll
Violence, blood, action and things that you usually do in private,mostly describe Ninja Scroll.Logically as an anime without the private part is above average but with it WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!. Highly Recommended.

Oh My Goddess!
Another one you probably heard about.This one is the comedy-romance type story that is quite imaginative and original, but it lacks the true comdedy elements that were in the manga.The character design is very well done and the animation is standard although it could be a bit slow moving at times.Recommended.

Patlabor 1 The Movie
Basically there's four things to know about Patlabor.It's far from being action packed and it's a very, very, very slow movie like a tortoise doing a mile jog.Beware those of you who were looking for a mecha movie, their is some mechas but if you want a LOT of them, just go see Macross Plus. Graphically it's above average and the story is quite imaginative. Not bad but not my kind of anime.Good for a rent.

Patlabor 2 The Movie
Considered as one of the greatest anime movie of all time, Patlobor 2 just leaved me breathless.Not because it was good, but because I had spent so much money on IT!!!.It was almost the same thing as the first but whithout Noa and Azuma, which were the only interesting characters.Some of you may like it, but it wasn't my case. Not Recommended

Record of Lodoss War
My all time favorite.Great RPG story and medieval drawing (by Nobuteru Yuki).This anime partically transform you into one of the spectators in the anime.One funny fact about ROLW is that Parn always seems to be quite inexperienced and then a war begins and what do we see! A arcane and mystic magic of the gods being release by him!!, if you don't buy it you're stupid.

Tenchi Muyo
Probably MY third favourite comedy (after Nuku Nuku and Ranma).The first episode was not all that great(A bit boring) but as the series progress, it become funnier and funnier.The story is not brainless like some other comedy and the character design is just great and original.As the series progress more and More new character pop out,roughly every chapter of the serie has a new character while not neglecting the older ones too. I give it a three thumbs up.Highly Recommended.

The Heroic Legends Of Arislan
A great animation with touching and exciting scenes although the music sort of came from India and Japan but it's still great.All four chapters are great but the ending was a dissapointment for the 4th chapter.Whatever it still GREAT!.Highly Recommended.
