Decent story, structurally sound despite a few plot conveniences. Visually too inconsistent. But overall, still enjoyable.

Moderately intriguing mystery-thriller. Nicely shot and edited. Nothing outstanding but that is not a bad thing as it does what it needs without drawing excessive attention.

Long-awaited sequel. Decent film in every respect. Plot progression can be better, but just grateful it’s here.

Classic cyberpunk. The plot and characters are engaging enough, and the visuals are awesome. It deserves at least eight episodes rather than just three.

Good production. Looks good. Amusing. But the satire is not clever enough and for a black comedy, it is not black enough.

Not bad. Good production with a solid soundtrack. Generally looks good. It is a series that I want to like more but the plotting needs to be more refined.

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

Young woman finds data doll with her long-lost/dead sister’s memories. Generic/derivative sci-fi so far, but good art and production.

Not bad pacing. Inconsistent but nowhere near as bad as I anticipated despite the cheese and cringe.

Predictable but solidly executed for what it is, with decent tension, conflict and action sequences.

Nicely produced with execellent art. The story is not bad even if it is more of the same: the Foot it gone but there are rival gangs, corrupt government and police, and a new player our heroes have to deal with.

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.

Cheesy sci-fi action like Predator (1987). But with an alien mech.

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.

Not bad ideas and decent production for its time, but the narrative is clumsy.

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.

Well-produced with solid performances but it is basically a sci-fi AI premise housed in a natural disaster setting. Difficult to buy into it.

Similar style to Shin Godzilla (2016) but goes further with the satire and comedy. Nicely shot and edited.

Slice-of-life fantasy romance and coming-of-age story. Moderately arty, mostly looks great. Short and simple, but too simple.
