Title: Honey and Clover
Genre: Comedy
Age Group: It's been a while since I've watched it, but I don't rememeber there being any questionable material.
# of Episodes Seen: 24
# of episodes to date: 24 (complete)
Dub or Sub: Like I'd ever watch a dub if a sub's available.
Brief Description: Takemoto, Mayama, and Morita are students at an art college. The anime pretty much focuses on them (and especially Takemoto) and their daily lives on campus. Kind of like an anime sitcom.
Your Rating: 8/10
Comments: This anime is hilarious, but because it lacks action (except when Morita-san is present XD) and has a rather broad storyline, some parts can be a little dry.

Your Rating: 8 out of 10
Comments: It is indeed a must see anime, but due to length of the series, I feel it could be longer (need more kickass submerged battles).

Don't know where you get the time to see so much anime, man.
Title: Berserk
Genre: Action/Drama
Age Group: Mature
# of Episodes Seen: 25
# of episodes to date: 25 (complete/cancelled)
Dub or Sub: Both...but on recent discovery (cheers george), the dub is absolute crap.
Brief Description: A young mercenary named Guts joins a group called the band of the hawk, lead by a common man, Griffith, who aspires to one day rule a kingdom. This is their journey. The anime is really just a lead up to the series. Parts of the main story are revealed throughout...mainly towards the end.
Rating: 9 out of 10
Comments: The only thing i can see remotely bad with this series is that it ends too abruptly, and you gotta read the manga to see what happens before and after the anime :) If there was a second series, then episode 1 would be located around the time of episode 30...so it's not that far ahead of the end of the anime. Definitely watch this. You'll love it so much that you'll be reading all 31 volumes of the manga to see what happens. The voice acting (japanese) is brilliant. The graphics are brutal yet crisp. The storyline...well i haven't seen a more messed up and awesome storyline yet. Veeeerrrrry cool.

Comments: I liked it, the comedic character of Ichan-san always cracked me up, plus since the series actually has an end, its like a kickass version of beyblade.
Reccomended to anyone who just enjoys fun filled animes.
