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.

Teacher is murdered and thrown back in time to one year earlier. Well-produced with solid performances. Important themes but clumsy pacing and dialogue-heavy.

Good art, clean linework. Tight narrative with good pacing.

Macross 7 has one of the most annoying main characters ever. And this is not helped by the poor pacing, dated visuals and the same song being used over and over again. The ideas are mostly good but at 49 episodes, it simply drags. If nothing else, some of these ideas set up the premise for subsequent series.

Despite some silliness, it is surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable.

Steady pacing and visually excellent. However, characters and relationships are not sufficiently interesting. Although expected, a bit tacky on occasion with its plot conveniences.

Solid production and visually excellent. Steady pacing.

Straightforward cop thriller, well-written and well-produced enough. Enjoyable but nothing special.

Nothing great but a solid series nonetheless. Decent writing, good performances and well-produced.

Nothing interesting despite the premise. Looks good enough but it just drags on and on. It’s just 26 tiresome episodes of a guy who is unable to be decisive, allowing things to be more complicated than they need to be.

Starts a bit slow and the villains are too simplistic. Conclusion is too rushed but is overall not a bad thriller-drama with some effective tension.
