Plotting can be better, but decent “girls with guns” action with genuinely lovable main characters.

Unfocused, starts off as sci-fi horror-action and then transitions to quiet post-apocalyptic life and coming-of-age. Uneventful and dull.

It has a premise that is challenging for any writer, it has worthy themes, and it has some depth and emotional resonance without trying too hard.

Looks great but two of the main characters are annoying and the plot lacks substance.

Well-paced and maintains the intrigue and tension throughout.

Some characters still underutilized, but mostly looks good and enjoyable.

Decent sequel. Plot can be more complex, but solid production and visually excellent.

Not as strong as the first season. Pacing can be better but overall a moderately entertaining follow-up.

Intriguing enough premise but the plotting is a little clumsy. But still, solid performances and excellent production. In any case, it’s short so it is over quickly.

Mostly looks good and mostly enjoyable.

Follows the same template as the first film, which is fine in itself. It’s not bad but it is nothing special, so it comes across as an unnecessary sequel.

Slice-of-life series of the friendship between a salaryman and a supermarket employee. Visually slick. Amusing.

Visually brilliant and great worldbuilding. The plotting can be better but it’s still worthy of viewing.

Excellent series true to the franchise. Solid visuals and music. Decent pacing and emotional resonance.

Action-based sequel. Generally looks and sounds good. Nice to see the characters again but as a sequel, the story lacks substance.

Dark steampunk zombie. Great worldbuilding, visuals and soundtrack. Decent pacing but too many plot conveniences.

Measured pacing and decent performances. Visually dark, nicely edited. Not bad but could use more care with some details.

Nicely shot satire. Could be more biting but still funny and enjoyable.

Intriguing premise. Despite some weaknesses, it is a solid production that is watchable and entertaining.

As a prequel, it is different but is fitting enough to the Macross universe. Nice designs and is one of the earlier anime works to use extensive CG. It can look better but decent effort.

Struggling actor role-plays for a rental family company. Positive but not too lighthearted. Solid performances and measured pacing. Amusing and entertaining.
