timepiececlockI found an anime review website that I love. Why? BEcause with the exception of Tenchi Muyo (they say ok, I say embarassingly sucky), Spirited Away (they say pretty good, I say fantastic), and Gundam Wing (they hated it, I adored it), the reviews almost exactly fit my own ratings for many series.... Witch Hunter Robin, Trigun, Ranman 1/2, Sailor Moon, Macross Plus, Dragon Ball Z, Blue Seed, and especially Cowboy Bebop and Escaflowne. How can I not love an anime review site that rates The Vision of Escaflowne as tied for third place for best anime ever and says it "should very well be considered the best anime of the entire decade" ? And then goes on to describe exactly why the Escaflowne movie is such a wrecking ball of a disappointment. On another page basically rates DBZ as crap, while giving it its due consideration for being entertaining enough to suck you in against your better judgement, and keep you in for longer than it deserves? Or another page that perfectly, perfectly captures why I love Trigun so much. ... Or another review that explains exactly why I am justified in completley and utterly hating the movie X/1999. Which I did. Oh, did I hate that movie. I still consider that to be one of the most tragic and unfair losses of an hour of my lifespan that I would really, really like back please. I've read about 30+ of their reviews so far, and except for the 3 mentioned above I almost completely agree with their ratings.
While I don't agree with all their ratings, most of the reviews feel like they pulled my viewer opinion words right out of my brain, so it's leading me to take their reviews for that I I haven't seen yet at some value, or at least consideration. Anyway, the site is here:

((conveniently linke dot their Esca review. For the other anime reviews, look to the left under the "Library" header))
....
::takes a moment to reread entry, and reflect back on the number 30+::
Huh. You know, I've seen or been exposed to a lot of anime. I mean, there's so many more reviews I want to read for series I've seen, double that number above.
And yet, I always feel like every other otaku in the room has seen 5 times as much as me and I am seriously lagging behind.
Weird.
