Originally, I think I was tricked into subscribing for CrunchyRoll Premium in that they were holding the final episode of the show I was watching hostage.

If you didn’t want to pay, you could still watch the shows of your choice, with ads. Ads which, incidentally, are completely blocked with AdBlockPlus such that they barely register as a flicker on the screen. Then here came CrunchyRoll with streaming content, professional subbing, and even simulcasts if you wanted to pay for Premium. It was really a combination of things, as it was getting annoying finding anime torrents with more than 4-5 seeders, having to download 10+ GB worth of show that you’re going to end up deleting anyway, bad fan subs, missing episodes, and so on. Much like Steam before it, CrunchyRoll has completely supplanted any desire of mine to pirate its product – in this case, anime. I prefer shows that are on CrunchyRoll, but I have access to FUNimation and even for the older stuff.

If you have a similar list you would like to share, or notice some glaring omissions in my anime resume, feel free to post them in the comments below. 7-6: These deserve a spot on your queue, even if you don’t watch them immediately.10-8: I really liked these shows, they made me feel something, go watch them.In light of that, it’s best to read my scores this way: Chances are Lain would score lower if I rewatched it, or if I watched it for the first time after having seen Death Note.

For example, is Serial Experiments Lain really a 9, above even Death Note? Well, Lain blew my mind back 2002 when I watched it, so that’s how I remember it.

In other words, if we have similar interests and you want some recommendations, just sort the list by Score and work your way down.Īs far as the scoring system itself, I had an internal rubric going, but I’m realizing that it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense outside of my head. While I will continue to actually write reviews in the future, I feel like that list will be good enough for a lot of those shows, especially the older ones. That should link you to a nigh-exhaustive list of all the anime ( and manga) I have watched and remembered to write down over the years. For those who might be interested, here you go:
