Here is my rating system:
5 Stars!!!-Incredible anime, don't miss this. Has
great plot, animation, everything about it is sweet.
4 & 1/2 Stars-These are definitely worth
checking out and are almost 5's, but only the best anime
gets a 5 star rating.
4 Stars-Very good anime still worth buying. These
are anime other people might consider 4 & 1/2 or 5
Stars so check'em out.
3 Stars-Good anime has cool parts worth renting
first.
2 Stars-Your taking your chances with these, maybe
the previews looked good but the anime isn't.
1 Star-Avoid these like the plague!!! (there
aren't many) Remember these are my opinions, so try
different anime out, because you may like what I don't.

Furi Kuri (FLCL) - 5 Stars!!!
Ever had one of those days where you were fooling around
with your older brother's high school girlfriend, you get
run over by a supped up scooter, some crazy girl smacks
you in the face with a bass guitar, and then two robots
pop out of your head? No? This just gives you a little
taste of how fast moving and crazy this series is, and
that's just the first episode. That is also what makes
this series so cool. Great animation, an awesome
soundtrack (by the Pillows if you're interested), and a
very strange and confusing story. It's everything you
could hope for in an anime. Check it out!!!!!

Hana Yori Dango - 5 Stars
Tsukushi Makino is a girl from normal humble
surroundings, who's parents get her into a school for the
rich to hook her up with a rich guy and have them set for
life. While not trying to stand out too much, she
accidently picks a fight with the F4 (who are the 4
richest and most popular guys in school). With the F4 and
the whole school against her she fights for equality with
people who she dosen't fit in with, and the more she
fights with the F4, especially Domiyoji, the more they
warm up to her. Will Makino be absorbed by this new
social status, or is it all an illusion. I didn't know
shojo anime could be so good untill I saw Hana Yori
Dango. Incredible series definately check it out.

Initial D - 5 Stars
An anime that inspired such games as Gran Turismo and
Tokyo Extreme Racer. Takumi is a high schooler with an
incredible driving ability. With this Hachi-Roku (86
Corolla) he dominates cars on a downhill mountain course
near his house. His friends from school belong to a race
team named the Akina Speedstars and they aren't the
greatest drivers in the world. With the Speed stars
getting challenged by other race teams Takumi must
constantly bail them out and race which he dosen't even
like to do. This is fastly becoming one of my favorite
series. All the cars that race are computer animated so
it looks like Gran Turismo. I thought the series would
get boring just being a different race team challenging
Takumi every couple of episodes, but the series gets
better with every race. Definitely check this series out
if you're a fan of cars and racing. Even if you're not,
just check it out because it's a cool series. (fansub)

Irresponsible
Captain Tylor - 4 Stars
Meet Justy Tylor about the laziest human on the earth. He
joins earth's space fleet thinking that he is in store
for the easy life, and some how ends up as the captain of
the battle cruiser Soyokaze. This series will crack you
up as his crew tries many mutinies, his own superiors try
to kill him off, and he has the enemy after him because
they think he's a military genius. This series is very
comical and gets a little serious towards the end. Over
all it's a great series, definately a great series. (US

Kodomo no Omacha - 5 Stars
No other anime character has more energy than Sana (main
character), it's not possible. Kodomo no Omacha focuses
around Sana's life as a child TV star on the show
"Child's Toy", and her life in grade school.
Whether she's battling her arch nemesis Hayame at school,
hanging at home with her mom and Maro-chan, or being
dragged to commercials by her manager Rei-kun, you'll
laugh at all the misadventures she encounters, and be
amazed that she still has envergy to sing or rap a
hilarious song about whatever is going on in the
episode.This is one of the funniest animes out there. It
dosen't stay serious for more than 5 minutes, but somehow
manages to keep a steady and good plot, also has one of
the best opening songs. Definately check it out. (fansub)

Legend of Basara - 4 1/2 Stars
In the future Japan goes back to it's feudal ways when
technology is lost. Tatara (boy) and Sarasa (girl) are
twins born in a small village in the Red kingdom. Tatara
is destined to unite Japan and lead them to a better
future. The Red king is threatened by this of course so
he slaughters the village and kills Tatara. Seeing
everyone losing hope Sarasa cuts her hair and claims to
be Tatara, saying it was Sarasa that was killed. With
that the peole have hope again and they rally around
Tatara as she goes from kingdom to kingdom collecting
valuable allies with which to battle against the Red,
Blue, Black, and White kingdoms and ultimately the
Emperor. I loved everything about this series. Incredible
story, very well drawn, you love the characters, this had
the makings of another Lodoss War, and it was cancelled
after only 13 episodes! The manga goes much further if
you want to see more (which you will). Even though the
series is short it's still worth seeing.

Marmalade Boy - 4 1/2 Stars
Miki is thrust into a very strange situation. Her parents
and another married couple decide they want to switch
partners and all live together. To make matters worse
she's gotta thing for the other married couples son Yuu.
With love triangles between her and everyone around her,
and a situation at home worthy of the Jerry Springer
show, Marmalade Boy will keep you wondering just what
will happen the next episode. This anime is very very
well drawn, it looks like an OVA even though it's 70+
episodes long. Good combination of comedy and drama, plus
it has that addictive quality that makes you want to see
more. If you like Hana Yori Dango definately check this
one out. (fansub)
