Claymore 7.2 Fantasy, Adventure

|
Code-E 7.8 Daily-Life, Romance, Comedy

|
| + | Pretty well drawn
| + | Potentially interesting story
| - | Overdramatic storytelling
| - | Superficial characters
|
| |
|
| + | Nice animation
| + | Characters are interesting to follow and have some depth
| - | Main characters are sometimes a bit too excentric
| - | Slightly slow paced at times
|
| |
|
| Not really recommendable but you may like it if you're into fantasy type settings and don't mind overdramatic/unrealistic characters. |
| |
|
| This is essentially a romance/comedy between two outsiders: guy is a science buff that lives in his own world and girl causes all eletrical things to malfunction. It has pretty nice animation, and the characters while nothing special, are interesting to follow. |

Darker than Black 8.2 Supernatural, Drama

|
Heroic Age 7.8 Sci-Fi, Mecha, Drama

|
| + | Nicely drawn
| + | Potentially good story
| + | Some interesting characters
| - | Characters can seem somewhat shallow
| - | Tries too hard to create a serious atmosphere at times
| - | Kind of boring at times.
|
| |
|
| + | Interesting story
| + | Nice soundtrack
| + | Keeps you interested for more
| - | Too much mecha action and not enough story progression
| - | Many shallow characters
| - | Main character is godlike so everyone else is pretty unnecessary
| - | Dialog can get cheesy
|
| |
|
| If you want something more on the serious side with action and sci-fi/supernatural elements then it's probably worth checking out. On the other hand you'll likely prefer to just watch Heroes instead. |
| |
|
| If you like sci-fi or mecha you'll probably want to give it a look. It certainly has it's weaknesses but it's also interesting to follow. |

Hitohira 6.2 Daily Life, Drama, Comedy

|
Kaibutsu Oujo 7.0 Comedy, Supernatural

|
| + | If you like the less serious daily life type of anime
| + | There's nothing particularly bad about it
| - | There's not that much happening
| - | Characters aren't really interesting
|
| |
|
| + | Has funny moments
| + | Slightly interesting story
| - | Main character is pretty useless
| - | If you don't like the humor then there's not much left
|
| |
|
| While it's not as such bad in any ways, it doesn't really appeal in any either. |
| |
|
| If you like silly comedy you'll probably like it, otherwise look elsewhere. |

Kaze no Stigma 7.6 Shounen, Action, Supernatural

|
Lovely Complex 9.0 Romance, Comedy

|
| + | Nice and clean drawing style
| + | Story has good momentum
| - | ...but it isn't anything special
| - | Characters aren't particularly deep and dialogue is pretty simple
|
| |
|
| + | Very funny
| + | Main characters are interesting and well developed
| + | Story has good momentum
| - | A few characters can seem annoying (mostly due to voice acting)
| - | Drags out later on
|
| |
|
| It's not the greatest but it's catchy in it's own way. If you're looking for a not so deep series with some action it's worth checking out. |
| |
|
| Very recommendable. Humor is very subjective but this will probably strike a cord with most. Mixes drama/romance elements well with the humor. |

Mushiuta 7.7 Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi

|
Nagasarete Airanto 6.5 Harem, Comedy

|
| + | Potentially interesting story
| + | Overall fairly good presentation
| - | Odd switches between drama, fan service, and comedy moments
| - | Tries for serious characters that aren't entirely realistic
|
| |
|
| + | Nicely drawn
| + | If you like harem anime and complete fantasy characters
| - | ...but if you don't then steer clear
|
| |
|
| This series is a bit odd and yet somewhat interesting. It has some very dramatic sequences and then switches to spouts of comedy that are meant to lighten the mood but sometimes don't fit. So far it has interesting elements although nothing great. |
| |
|
| It's a quite well drawn series but it has pretty bizarre characters and no story really. Only recommandable if you like harem anime or very silly comedy. |

Romeo x Juliet 7.9 Romance, Drama

|
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei 8.0 Comedy, Daily Life, Drama

|
| + | Nicely drawn backgrounds
| + | Pretty interesting story
| + | Good pacing for the most part
| - | Characters overdramatic at times
| - | Isn't always particurly realistic
| - | Cheesy dialogue, even given what it is
|
| |
|
| + | Fairly original concept
| + | Quite funny moments
| - | ...but humor gets pretty bizarre sometimes
| - | Drawing style is sometimes weird
|
| |
|
| Loosly based around the play. The story isn't anything special but it's pretty solid and it plays out well. The characters sometimes behave overdramatic and can be a bit unrealistic (the male lead is for example too naive). The story usually moves well and if you're looking for romance with some action to go with it then it's definently worth a look. |
| |
|
| It has moments that are very funny but then it also gets pretty bizarre at times. The drawing style sometimes changes into something more strange and is somewhat off-putting. Nice for some laughs but not as good as Azumanga Daioh for example. |

Seirei no Moribito 9.2 Adventure, Fantasy

|
Seto no Hanayome 6.8 Comedy, Romance

|
| + | Very nice animation
| + | Pretty solid story
| + | Most characters are well balanced
| - | Occasionally a bit over-dramatic
| - | Story loses focus at times
|
| |
|
| + | Has funny moments
| + | There's nothing really bad about it for what it is
| - | Nothing new here and not that interesting
| - | Silly humor that won't appeal to some
|
| |
|
| Very well drawn series that for the most part has beleivable character behavior. The story is pretty interesting but sometimes loses focus with several episodes that deal with daily life. This is nice in some ways but these episodes also feel a bit like fillers as they offer little in terms of character or story progression. It's really a minor complaint though as they're still interesting to watch. The series is overall very recommendable. |
| |
|
| Nothing new here really, which in itself there's nothing wrong with, but it's a rehash that's not really interesting. If you like 'boy forced to marry girl' stories with fairly silly humor (e.g. girl belongs to family of mermaids that are the underwater mafia) it's worth a look. |

Tokyo Majin 8.0 Action, Supernatural, Drama

|
Toward the Terra 7.6 Sci-Fi, Drama

|
| + | Great if you love lots of action
| + | Characters aren't overpowered
| + | Fairly interesting mix of personalities
| - | Too much fighting and too little story progression
| - | Character behavior is sometimes unrealistic
|
| |
|
| + | Potential for a good story
| + | Nice soundtrack
| - | Many shallow characters
| - | Interactions between characters often seem unnatural
| - | Story moves slow at times
|
| |
|
| For those looking for a good dosage of action look no further. Has a little bit of drama elements but not much. |
| |
|
| If you like sci-fi give it a look, otherwise you'll probably want to give it a pass. |

Umisho 6.4 Comedy, Romance

|
Zombie-Loan 5.8 Shounen, Supernatural, Comedy

|
| + | If you're looking for fanservice and perv humor
| - | Not much story and shallow characters
|
| |
|
| + | Has potential for a story
| - | Pacing can be confusing
| - | Shallow characters
|
| |
|
| It doesn't have much to offer in terms of a story or deep characters. It does have plenty of fanservice and a silly perv kind of humor to go with it. So it's really a question of what you're looking for. |
| |
|
| It's a shounen with supernatural elements. Beyond that it throws in some pretty standard action, comedy, and drama. Hasn't been too exciting so far. |
