Toradora! is the queeen of tsundere and a great anime, but Tentai Senshi Sunred is one of the best parody comedies out there despite seemingly low popularity.

Anime of the Year 2008-III Summer - Detroit Metal City
I enjoyed both Detroit Metal City and Lucky☆Star: Original na Visual to Animation this season, but original work wins, as usual .
VN of the Month May 2023
Had serious doubts about including Vtuber games, but let's do it for volume. It's hard to call any visual novel a normal one this month.
Anime of the Year 2008-II Spring - Druaga no Tou: The Aegis of Uruk
Druaga no Tou: The Aegis of Uruk is a great inspiring fantasy . Also found Kure-nai enjoyable.
Anime of the Year 2008-I Winter - Ookami to Koushinryou
Ookami to Koushinryou is the only bright spot in this short season.
Anime of the Year 2007-IV Fall - Minami-ke
Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor , Minami-ke and Genshiken 2 are all considered minor masterpieces by me, but two of them had some representation earlier, so only Minami-ke is fresh new.
Anime of the Year 2007-III Summer - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei , Stranger: Mukou Hadan and Piano no Mori all got minor masterpiece scores from me. Don't want to choose, so series wins over movies.
Anime of the Year 2007-II Spring - Lucky☆Star
I was going to never rate comedies highly, but Lucky☆Star is more than a comedy, it's a meta-comedy and is enjoyable on many layers. Claymore is only slightly behind. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Bokura no definitely deserve a mention, but these are more flawed works.
Anime of the Year 2007-I Winter - Nodame Cantabile
Nodame Cantabile is the only masterpiece in this short season
Anime of the Year 2006-IV Fall - Death Note
Death Note as new title takes the upper hand over sequel Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage . But I can also name a number of minor masterpieces - Hataraki Man , Genshiken OVA , Paprika
VN of the Month April 2023
I bet remaining companies coordinate release windows to issue exactly one conventional visual novel each month without any competition
Anime of the Year 2006-III Summer - NHK ni Youkoso!
NHK ni Youkoso! is a genius title. Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society is still nice.
Anime of the Year 2006-II Spring - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu is revolutionary anime in several ways, so for me it has the upper hand over Black Lagoon which is also a great masterpiece, but in more mundane , complex and adult way. Lots of titles in Spring season, but I can't vouch for the rest.
Anime of the Year 2006-I Winter - Ergo Proxy
Ergo Proxy is my favorite anime of the past which is still a full head ahead of most anime, though I see its imperfection nowadays. I also see Fate/stay night and Hellsing Ultimate as minor masterpieces deserving a mention.
Anime of the Year 2005-III Summer - Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex - The Laughing Man
Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex - The Laughing Man is inevitably the winner, but for a change there two more small masterpieces - Ichigo Mashimaro and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Anime of the Year 2005-II Spring - Hachimitsu to Clover
Lots of decent works, none is good enough for me. If I really needed to choose, I'd probably go for Hachimitsu to Clover as with all its flaws it can still be nice at times.
Anime of the Year 2004-III Summer - Gantz 2nd Stage
Turns out I criticized everything too much this season, and Gantz 2nd Stage comes out as the only candidate
Anime of the Year 2004-II Spring - Gantz
Gantz is the anime I truly love with all its weak sides. Samurai Champloo and Appleseed (Movie) should be noticed as well.
Anime of the Year 2004-I Winter - Interlude
Among three titles with score of 9 only Interlude is a new title, so it takes the upper hand over sequels Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG and Innocence , plus there's this great little series Mousou Dairinin that deserves a mention.
Anime of the Year 2003-IV Fall - Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou
Lots of titles, lots of masterpieces. Gunslinger Girl , Gungrave and Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu Final deserve a honorary mention as minor masterpieces, but my heart is with Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou
Anime of the Year 2003-III Summer - Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
Can't call anything masterpiece again. Let's point out Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu , maybe.
Anime of the Year 2003-II Spring - Texhnolyze
Many titles, but still no masterpieces. Texhnolyze is the closest one, as for me
VN of the Month January 2023
With already few titles released it might be the swan song for Giga and MAGES
Anime of the Year 2003-I Winter - .hack//Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu
My personal preference goes to .hack//Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu in the absence of masterpieces
