Must be Seen!!! Rating Comment
Air (TV) Excellent One of the sweetest, yet sadest anime's i have ever watched. A must-have-seen for the drama-loving person!
Aishiteruze Baby (TV) Masterpiece The bittersweet happiness of caring for someone elses child is really taken to it's limits in this anime. Kippei, a 17yearold boy takes care of Yuzuyu, the 5yearold daughter of his aunt. The unexpected love between them (from Kippei's p.o.v.) takes them on a journey nobody in the family would have been able to predict. It is one of the sweetest and most realistic animeseries i have ever seen, and you just can't miss it!
Angel Sanctuary (OAV) Masterpiece Even incest can be beautiful....... Angels and demons, God and Devil.... Who rules your heart?
Azumi (live-action movie) Masterpiece To be put in this situation goes beyond any now living humans intellect..... Or, at least, that's what i would like to think... I guess the situation could occur, if some circumstances were fullfilled, but i whish and hope that no person would ever need to lead the life of these people! Maybe you can sense that this film set my mind in motion? Being the girl i am, i LOVE a good samurai/ninja/action-movie.... So this fits me perfectly!
Azumi 2: Death or Love (live-action movie) Masterpiece I didn't think there was going to be any way to make a sequel to the first movie..... But they actually pulled it off!!! It is a good story, although somewhat unbelievable in some parts.... However, it is a Must See!
Battle Royale (live-action movie) Masterpiece The creator behind this manga is truly one sick mind.... And to translate this foul fantasy onto a moviescreen was a fantastic idea! The genuinely mad idea, with equal amounts of disgusting detail and hideous perfection, comes across as one of the best movies i have ever seen. With great actingperformances and almost scary delivering of 'real' feelings this will forever be one of my favourites!
Blood+ (TV) Masterpiece I waited too long..... This series blew my mind... If this is really how one feels when loved, then i want to feel it too...
Boys Over Flowers (TV) Masterpiece Can you fall in love with your tormentor? How can you tell if it is really love or just awe? When your heart aches and you don't know why, where do you seek the answer? This series left me completely emotionally exhausted!!!!!
Ceres, Celestial Legend (TV) Masterpiece Inherited hate, impossible love, magical powers, evil opponents.... This anime has all the classic features and is definately a must-see!!!
E's Otherwise (TV) Masterpiece Oppression, intimidation and fear can make anyone behave in strange ways. When you have something that differs from others you are most likely to be segregated from them in one way or another. This is the fight of everyone who is different, but made into a wonderful anime!
Elfen Lied (TV) Masterpiece This very bloody anime moves your heart in ways you would not expect. A memory of a first friend, lost in a bizarre environment, inner strength and pure childish love, stored away in a subcontious warehouse, suppressed by people who only want to use you... How far would you go to remember?
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (movie) Masterpiece ... Simply put, Final Fantasy ... ...... Perfect ......
Fruits Basket (TV 1/2001) Masterpiece The 12 animals from the zodiac, in the form of humans who transform into animals when hugged by the opposite sex..... Try not to fall in love with this extremely wellmade anime!!! I know I did!
Getbackers (TV) Masterpiece If people like this existed in real life..... Dreaming is allowed, right?
Gokusen (live-action TV) Masterpiece This is one of the best series i have ever seen!!! If i met a teacher like this, maybe i would have done better too??? Seeing as my dream is to be a teacher, maybe that adds to why i like it ;)
Gokusen Special: Sayonara 3-nen D-gumi (live-action special) Masterpiece This 'movie' was great too, just like the series! The end, without being a definate end :D
Hana Yori Dango [2005] (live-action TV) Masterpiece A very good adaption of the anime.... The actors cast in the LA-series are really spot on according to my taste, and, i must say, some of the best-looking japanese people i have ever seen! Although the anime is more intense, the LA makes you feel the same emotions! GREAT!!!
ItaKiss (TV) Masterpiece
Jyu-Oh-Sei (TV) Masterpiece
Lunar Legend Tsukihime (TV) Masterpiece I like vampires.... I like most legendary beings.... This is a VERY good version of those ;)
NANA (live-action movie) Masterpiece
Orphen (TV) Very good Well well well..... This magic trip through all sorts of adventures requires interest to see. It is a very good anime but i found myself not paying attention a few times due to the sometimes very lame conversations... However, with jokes like ' I'll steam you to death with a pressurecooker ' and ' I'll peek you to death in an outdoor bath ' you just can't afford to miss this!
Oruchuban Ebichu (TV) Excellent A talking, houskeeping, meddling superhamster??? A 'single' sexcrazy owner and a cheating lying boyfriend? This is something you have to see if you like adult humour!!
Rurouni Kenshin (TV 1996) Masterpiece Can a man redeem himself? Kenshin is one of the best animes i have ever seen... It takes the essential things in life and turns them into understandable concepts! I mean, how do you really explain friendship? Or love? Or fear? This is a REAL masterpeice!!!
Shaman King (TV 2001) Masterpiece One person, in synch with the world..... Ruling the planet in secrecy for 500 years... Determined by a competition... Yoh and his friends battle to save the planet from some evil shamans! This is a great series, and i almost laughed my ass off!!!
(The) Story of Saiunkoku (TV) Masterpiece
(The) Twelve Kingdoms (TV) Masterpiece The fantasy of all fantasy-readers! Being taken to an alternate universe, and battling the 'good' fight!!!
Utawarerumono (TV) Masterpiece
Wolf's Rain (TV) Masterpiece What will happen when the wolf's reach paradise? Seing this made me think a lot about history.... Many cultures original 'the beginning'-theory describes man as a decendant of different animals, the wolf being the most common.... Why is that?
