This series is a mixture of comedy, drama, romance, and a few more conspicuous topics such as illness, death, human experimentation, and personal identity. Every few episodes, especially in the latter half of the series, they liked to throw something controversial or deep at you to stave off the repetitiveness of the romance and comedy. Finally, they ended the series with something very unusual for the harem genre: A choice. That's right, the main character actually chooses a single girl, instantly making this series better than the vast majority of the muck that calls itself a harem. That being said, I...

Star Driver, Star Driver... where do I start? From the moment I heard the phrase "ginga bishounen," or galatic pretty boy, I knew this series was either going to be something epic, or some piece of trash that I will forever regret finishing. This show was... a ride. Brilliant and stupid at the same time, constantly keeping you off-balance with over the top humor, action, and plot. While this is far from a master-piece, it is still a very entertaining series that will keep you waiting for another episode. Be it the dichotomy of school and mechas interplaying throughout the series, the rough... See full review

This series was, at the very least, a fun ride. I more or less marathoned all 51 episodes in about 3 days or so, meaning that you would think it couldn't be that bad- which it wasn't. The show managed to bounce between serious issues (at least serious within their reality) and humor while portraying more or less interesting characters. Many of the characters are well developed, although a few of the more interesting ones (the Thompson sisters and Tsubaki) are left kind of out to dry. Despite this, there are a number of developed characters and static characters going through an interesting, albeit... See full review

As you peruse through a large amount of anime, you come across many different types of series that leave unique impressions; some of these impressions will last, some will fade, some will be good, some not so good and some... well, some will be Series Experiments Lain. Lain is one of those series that, among definitely leaving a very lasting impression, it is very likely to leave you wondering what you just watched. While mixing together a large amount of philisophical questions, psychological explanations, and something of a technological anomaly in order to peace together its stroy and, in... See full review

This series, in my opinion, is one of the few that manage to have a streak of episodes near the end that all seem to be better than the last and have you wanting more for 5 or so episodes. I will admit that the middle of the series starts to drag a little bit after a strong opening, but it is more than worth it. Story: This series, although not completely original in some of their major themes, does a great job mixing together previously seperate themes while driving the plot with interesting devices and characters. While often making you ask for more at the end of an episode, they mix together great... See full review
