Dennou Coil 9/10
Genius all the way through, perfect story, no plot holes.
Mood changes and becomes more serious half way through, this transition works perfectly.
Emotional, cool themes, awesome characters, i can recommend it to anybody
Serial Experiments Lain 7/10 (formerly 8/10)
Not for everybody, even though it's slow paced i think it just works pretty good and is never boring.
Very philosophical and kind of surreal.... the ending was very disappointing, had more potential
Blue Submarine No. 6 5/10
OVA consisting of 4 episodes, nice animation, nice action, but plot lacking some rationality, most characters very basic and flat, nice jazzy music throughout, poor ending

Bakemonogatari
Rating: 9/10
Pros:
-Good Plot
-Good Characters
-Holds my interest
Cons:
-Needs another season
oh wait haha
I was surprised at just how wordy this was, but it totally works! I love the little random changes in art style and how sweet the story can be, also this

Ergo Proxy 6/10
Nice animation, nice atmosphere, very nice beginning, up until appr. episode 10, then story takes a deep plunge, filler episodes (especially episode 16), 2 episodes (15 and.... iirc 18 or 19) that are clearly breaking the general atmosphere, brilliant ending, episodes 20-24 very very good, saving an otherwise mediocre anime.
All in all quite enjoyable (especially if you like post apocalyptic scenarios and maybe games like fallout or movies like equilibrium (somehow it had the same feel))
RedLine 3/10
Not my cup of tea, crazy animation and that's it, forget the story, nothing there, reminded me a little bit of Dead Leaves, was bored to hell, very bad in my opinion

Just finished rewatching Stein's Gate.
Pros:
+ Very well realised light sci-fi story, I love the kind of complicated time travel stories where characters are constantly jumping back and forth through time.
+ Beautiful animation.
+ The second half in particular was really, really good.
+ I liked the way the story was structured, kind of going forward, then carefully retracing its steps and going backwards again, as it were.
Cons:
- Although the second half was so good, the first half felt fairly mediocre. The story seemed kind of haphazard, and the characters' idiocy pissed me off a bit. I can sort of see how they explain why Okabe was happy to send all those D-mails, but a lot of them just seemed like such ridiculously bad ideas, even he wouldn't have sent them.
- Okabe got a little annoying at times with his mad scientist stuff. This too improved in the second half though.
- There were a few plot holes. Nothing major, but noticeable enough to feel slightly jarring. For example: (click to show/hide)Deleting CERN's records of the first D-Mail at the end - the point was explained as being to make sure CERN never saw it, and therefore didn't know about the time machine, and therefore didn't try and get the IBN 5100, and kill Mayuri. So you'd think they'd need to either stop it from appearing at all, or delete it right after it did; deleting the records several weeks later, well after CERN were already aware of it and had already sent Moeka to try and track down the IBN 5100, seems like it'd be a bit too late.- Also it seemed like there would have been better solutions to some of their problems, and the anime deliberately ignored them in order to use more difficult, but more dramatic solutions instead.
But yeah, all in all, it can't be understated just how good the second half of this show was. And the first half was most definitely not bad either. All in all, I rate it 7/10 - very good. I really enjoyed it, even though I'd seen it before.
