Megazone 23 Part III

Nov 26, 2021

The story is substantially more coherent here than the previous OVAs, but the OST and slick 80s style is sacrificed.

Megazone 23 Part II

Nov 21, 2021

A genre highlight for sound and animation. With only a foreshortened story to hold it back, Megazone proves that a jamming soundtrack and high quality art can paper over any wound.

Megazone 23

Nov 19, 2021

A surprisingly strong series with more-than a passing resemblance to shows like Gundam 0083 and Macross. Also, a great anime series to scratch an 80s itch, if you're just coming off of Maison Ikkoku, Saint Seiya, Kimagure Orange Road, etc. and want to dabble in some light mecha action. But the dynamite musical direction is the immediate highlight, with a shimmering-pop Shirou Sagisu-led soundtrack emblematic of its era.

Urusei Yatsura

The last 50 or so episodes got very bad, but the series grows on you by the end. Lum and Ataru are in desperate need of a big comeback.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Oct 29, 2019

I was ruined for anime, in a lot of ways, after finishing Evangelion as a teenager. Nothing has ever exceeded it. Great complementary soundtrack and timeless characters, and most highly satisfying movie resolution. Best series in all of anime.
