Hmm... I guess that's all ba... On the anime series I've finished watching... I'll give a brief review on the more memorable ones^^ hahas:
1)Zero no Tsukaima
2)Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi
3)Zero no Tsukaima: Princess no Rondo
These 3 are 3 seasons of the same series. The setting is in another world where social classes are determined by ability in magic. People capable of using magic are called "nobles" while non-magic users are called "commoners".
The story takes place in this magical academy where the second year students are going through a ceremony to summon their familiars(AKA guardian beast). The main heroine, Louise, being a noble yet crappy in magic summoned hers. Enter Saito, a teenage boy going home from a computer store in Tokyo, where he sees a weird portal thing in the middle of the street. He touches it and gets teleported to Louise's world as her familiar.
Louise, who was hoping for something more impressive(like a dragon, griffin, kraken, etc.) became really embarrassed. Since she was already deemed a "failure" as a mage by her classmates, this only solidified that thinking. She turns her negative feelings on to Saito and treats him like a slave. Making him do the laundry, not letting him eat, general slave stuff, she even has a whip to top it all off.
As the series progresses, they fall in love (O_o I was surprised at this development too). And yet each is too embarrassed to admit it to each other(which gives rise to really cute situations hahas).
I cried at the end of the second season, because Saito sacrificed his life to protect Louise. The whole thing played out really nicely, and though I knew it was coming(thanks to wikipedia), I still can't help but cry at that development. Overall a really nice series^^
5)Star Ocean EX
I was playing Star Ocean: Second Evolution on my PSP. When I realised that there was an anime adaption of the game. So what is a gamer fan-boy to do? I did what every self-respecting nerd would do in my place. Torrent it^^
It was really really really old. And that made it hard to find. The voices were terrible(every girl sounds either too high pitched or seductive for no reason and every guy sounds like they're going through puberty). But passion for the game(and the urge to see what each characters' special attack look like in the anime) sustained me.
Like nearly every anime which is a game adaption(ie. Brave Story, Clannad, etc.).It features a "scammer" ending. For more details on what a "scammer" ending is, watch Shaman King or Flame of Recca.
9)Kemono no Souja Erin
Now this is a good anime. It's about this girl called Erin who loves animals and one day hopes to be an animal doctor like her mother.
It takes place in a fantasy setting. Not going to say much here... Just that it's a really good anime on Erin growing up and learning the meaning of life and standing firm to her beliefs. Really touching, heartwarming and yet sad at the same time... hahas...
Ooooook I guess I'm done here... hahas...
