Eureka seveN AO 6.5/10
Pros:
Good animation.
Nice soundtrack.
Cons:
Plot direction seems like a compass getting tossed down a hall of magnets.
Not a very satisfying ending.
All in all, it wasn't as good as the first series. They were less focused on interpersonal relationships and character development, but more on the "save the world from... wait, which one's our enemy now?" plot twists that'd make M. Knight Shyamalan start a slow clap.
But honestly, this didn't feel like a necessary attempt to continue the anime, and the ending essentially makes the whole thing pointless anyway because in the end it accomplishes nothing but contradicting itself with a time paradox in both the one path theory and multiverse theory at the same time.
ari_elle:
10/10 Mushishi
Pros:
-) great stories
-) very metaphorical
-) great main character (calm, dark humour, rational)
-) Very episodic (no complex story, just like a book full of fairy tales that somehow seem to connect in it's base)
Con:
-) Bad Character design
[but since it's one story after another instead of one complex story i think it's acceptable]
09/10 Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World
Actually the same as for Mushishi, but it didn't quite feel that special, and there were some episodes which clearly were weaker, still though:
Pros:
-) great stories
-) very metaphorical
-) good main character
Con:
-) Some episodes are clearly weaker
08/10 Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - Byouki no Kuni: For You
Pros:
-) Feels like a Kino no Tabi episode
07/10 Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - Tou no Kuni
Actually quite good, but it somehow feels weird to rate a 15 minute short Anime, so it would have fit very well with the Kino no Tabi Series, when rating it alone, well.... nothing that special...
07/10 Kino no Tabi: Nanika wo Suru Tame ni - Life Goes On
Quite interesting, but missing some relevance in comparison with other Kino no Tabi episodes
Takeshi:
Fate Stay Night (4/5)
+ good story
+ Saber
- the animation isn't that spectacular
- some developments feel induced in order to please otaku fans
- high school setting
- main character has been seen and done before

Points against your negative votes.
1. The main character is supposed to be a generic, relate-able male because its based off a "chose your destiny" style book.
2. There wasn't much to do with highschool in the anime, it was a battleground and the minor connection between several
characters that really had no impact on the story, so I wouldn't call that the setting by any means.
3. Of course the developments were induced to please fans, read point 1.
There are many other versions of the story too because there are different routes in the book. There's Unlimited Bladeworks, and Heavens Feel (not made into an anime yet). There's also the prequel anime Fate/Zero. All of which are darker than Fate/Stay Night.
LeijonaSisu:
Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo
100/10
Pros:
+ Incredible animation
+ Incredible animation
+ Incredible animation
+ More colourful than a thousand rainbows
+ Not so colourful etc. that it'll make you puke
+ Enough conflict etc. so it doesn't seem too 'cute'
+ Romantic
+ many more, go see it yourself!
Cons:
- Ending was a bit 'rushed????/confusing???' not sure how to explain.
- Violence might be a little in your face for some, could make some wince etc.
- that's it?
