Solid coming-of-age, slice-of-life romance. Can argue about plotting and pacing but it is emotionally realistic.

Racing action can be better executed but plotting and pacing are not bad so far. Interesting and entertaining enough to keep one interested.

Moderately funny but can be dark and serious in parts. Measured and balanced in most respects. Entertaining.

Interesting 22nd-century sci-fi police/anti-terrorist action that touches on many themes even if it doesn’t explore them in depth.

Decent production. Not bad, but the plot and themes could use more development as it is a little unfocused.

Good production. Mostly well-paced story in the spirit of the first two films even if it has a few problems. Dark and gloomy.

Solidly enjoyable slice-of-life drama-comedy about a 27-year-old given a chance to relive the final year of high school.

Not bad but nothing spectacular. Some of the stories try too hard.

Decent film that addresses the issue of Gilbert. Visually superb although the plotting could be better.

Classic mecha anime. Excellent visuals and sound. Focuses on characters and their relationships.

Opening is a bit muddled but settles into a grim slice-of-life “try to leave out our final days in peace” drama. Ending is bad and cheap.

Mystery with elements of a horror-thriller framed in a fairy tale–like story. Nothing bad. Just flat. Plotting and themes are a bit clumsy.

Nothing special, the premise is maybe a little forced, but still a decent side story.

Absurdist slice-of-life comedy of Tanaka aiming to do as little as possible. Good production. Relatable. Borderlines on brilliant.

Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

Classic high school slice-of-life comedy. Can use a little more variation even if it is meant to be slice-of-life genre.

Not a bad effort but nothing special. Could have used other fairy tales since there are over 200 to choose from.

Solid character-driven work that is not cringe. Visually superb.

Ninja family vs rival clan. Nicely shot. A few points regarding characters and conflict can be better, but intriguing and entertaining.

Interesting enough premise. Excellent production. Can delve deeper into the themes, but plot and characters are sufficiently captivating.

Like Part 1, decent voice acting and production. More focused storytelling but signposting is a little clumsy. Still mildly enjoyable.
