4	ACCA - 13-Territory Inspection Department - Revival	OVA	1	Questions linger in the aftermath of the attempted coup and in the lives of Jean and Lotta.	2020	Neither - Nothing substantive really happens, once again, but at least there's no government-wide plot to keep track of this time.	Downloaded	Good anime are worth recommending
5	16bit Sensation: Another Layer	Series	13	A frustrated illustrator travels back in time to work on classic video games	2023	Neither - A pleasant exploration of the origins of bishoujo games kind of goes off the rails when it devotes its energies to explaining the time-travel gimmick.	Downloaded	Neither anime are worth remembering.
6	A.D. Police	Series	12	A cop in an anti-android force copes with the loss of his partner.	1999	Bad - Self-serious, trite, and misanthropic, there is nothing to be salvaged with this smug and cynical vision of the future.	Downloaded	Bad anime are worth nothing.

13	Aggretsuko Season 4	OVA	10	New leadership brings change to the company as Retsuko and Haida explore romance.	2021	Good - As the romance falters, so do people's morals, and in surprising ways that still connect to the show's interest in our professional dysfunctions.	Deleted
14	Aggretsuko Season 5	OVA	10	Haida struggles with unemployment and his family while Retsuko is drawn to politics.	2023	Good - As an anti-work manifesto, the show concludes that systemic change is the only answer and almost makes that turn seem inevitable (and fun).	Deleted
15	Aguu: Tensai Ningyou	Series	12	A ballerina discovers a hidden organization devoted to harvesting talent from geniuses.	2018	Neither - Earnest to a fault and too interested in its absurd lore, but still a fun throwback to the less polished days of anime.	Downloaded

19	Aldnoah.Zero Second Season	Series	12	The war continues between the two planets, as people fight over Princess Asseylum.	2015	Neither - A bit more of a glimpse into the internal politics of the Martians, focusing on characters who actually have compassion, helps but not enough.	Downloaded
20	All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku	OVA	6	A scientist on the run resurrects his son's cat in an android body.	1992	Good - Fearlessly and joyfully madcap, with fan service mostly taking a back seat to both comedy and action.	Bought
21	All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku	Series	14	Nuku Nuku goes to high school while an evil company schemes against her family.	1998	Good - Converting the premise to something more appropriate to a gag show works wonders, with stock jokes and characters becoming welcome friends.	Bought

28	Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai	Series	11	A group of estranged childhood friends come together to deal with loss.	2011	Bad - What could be more annoying than a show about a group of teenagers, each wallowing in their own pain?	Deleted
29	Another	Series	13	A class of students is haunted by a mysterious girl who resembles someone dead.	2011	Good - By making the horror feel more and more senseless, the anime gains a deeper meaning.	Bought
30	Apocalypse Hotel	Series	12	A crumbling force of robots maintains a luxury hotel after the world ends.	2025	Good - Silly, joyous, and somber by turns, this is a wonderful throwback comedy that asks us how we understand our respective duties in life.	Downloaded

46	Aura Battler Dunbine	Series	49	A young man is transported to a fantasy world to pilot a weapon and be its savior.	1983	Neither - A sweeping drama that escalates well, especially when the action returns to Earth, but becomes directionless and repetitive well before the end.	Downloaded

61	Banner of the Stars II	Series	10	Lafiel and Jinto struggle to defuse tensions on a prison planet.	2001	Good - The scope of the series narrows even further, but the strength of the characters and the situations that they're in carries this space opera well.	Bought

64	Barakamon	Series	12	A young calligrapher is exiled to a small island full of wacky characters.	2014	Good - Lacking a fullness of emotion or impact in the arc of its plot, but downright delightful for its setting and characters anyway.	Bought
65	Bartender	Series	11	A talented bartender gives advice about life to troubled people.	2006	Neither - Calming and peaceful, but weirdly incoherent, not least because it's shot through with cod philosophy about alcohol consumption.	Downloaded
66	Bartender: Glass of God	Series	12	The staff trying to open a new bar in a hotel searches for the perfect candidate.	2024	Neither - A stronger through-line that the prior adaptation of the material, the focus on apocrypha and the mundanity of characters' problems is still worse	Downloaded

68	Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy	Series	24	A mad sorceror is released from his prison inside of young boy to stop the apocalypse.	2022	Bad - As stupid and cruel as its predecessor, but stretched out to four times the episode count with only annoying monologuing to fill the extra minutes.

70	Battle Athletes Victory	Series	26	A clumsy girl must compete in an interplanetary competition to preserve galactic peace.	1997	Good - A refreshingly exciting and straightforward mix of sports and battles, although the tragic backstories and yuri flourishes don't add much.	Downloaded
71	Battle Athletes Victory ReSTART!	Series	12	A new generation of athletes competes for the title of Cosmo Beauty.	2021	Bad - A piece of near-irredeemable trash that thinks conspiracy piled on top of conspiracy makes for better entertainment than its actual premise.	Downloaded
72	Belle	Movie	N/A	A traumatized girl rediscovers her love of singing (as well as a mysterious beast) online.	2021	Good - A little bit too confused for its own good, unsure if it's adapting an old story or telling a new one, but the music and human connection carries it.	Downloaded

79	Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage	Series	12	The Black Lagoon Company continues to deal with crazy and violent challenges.	2006	Neither - A greater focus on actual gangsters, rather than Nazis or nuns-with-guns, improves the tone, but the show still is glutted with over-the-top action.	Bought
80	Black Lagoon Omake	OVA	7	The members of the Lagoon Company are placed in funny, uncommon situations.	2009	Neither - Funny enough, but not prone to win over anyone who didn't already find humor in the characters' premise.	Downloaded
81	Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail	OVA	5	A terrorist-turned-maid kills to avenge her murdered patron.	2010	Neither - Over-the-top violence serves the series well, but when the characters are functionally superheroes, it fails to make a real impression.	Bought

91	Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan	OVA	4	An angel repeatedly murders a young man to distract him from the invention he will make.	2005	Bad - How long can an anime milk one joke, that unexpected violence is funny? The answer is definitely less than eight half-episodes.	Deleted

95	Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai	Series	14	Several unpopular kids in high school form a club to make friends.	2011	Neither - Though its characters all have interesting aspects, this slice-of-life anime is peculiarly boring and aimless.	Bought
96	Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT	Series	12	The Neighbors Club heads into a new school year and more hijinks.	2013	Neither - Odd enough, but the addition of a more overt harem setting makes the anime much more realistic and engaging.	Bought
