This list is in two versions: "Sorted by English Title", and "Sorted by Japanese (Romaji) title".

Items marked (shoujo) are part of the Shoujo Anime Database 2004. For acknowledgements see notes.

Distribution abbreviations:

US= United States
UK=United Kingdom
Ger = Germany
Fra = France
Tur = Turkey
VHS = VHS tape, LD = Laserdisk, DVD = Digital Video Disk, TV = Television transmission. Items are not necessarily in print.

Further Information

Information on a topic can be found using a search engine, e.g.Altavista, or Google
A Web page on a particular video may often be found at: Anime Web Turnpike
If you have trouble matching the name you know with the name listed, a Google search may help.
Information on a OVA (Original Video Animation) with literary associations (e.g. the Puss in Boots series) may be found at: Ben Ettinger's Sub Rosa
Please note that the Japanese name is usually fixed, wheras many variants of the title may appear in English (French, German...).

Japanese Text Display

A few of the entries use Japanese text display for the "Japanese name". If you can't read it, it will be for one of the following reasons:
Your browser doesn't have Japanese fonts installed (usually MS Gothic)
Japanese encoding is not enabled in your browser.
That entry is corrupt or missing.
I have found that MS Internet Explorer 5.5 gives the most consistent results in displaying the fonts as I intended.

The data displayed is held in an offline database which is used to auto-generate and auto-index the Web pages.

The data is from various sources. Entries have been copied over from the old anime review pages. New entries have been created for other anime which I or other contributors have seen.
Entries are revised as additional data is found.

Copyright note:

Please note that while assistance has been sought from various sources, I have avoided any usage that could be taken as infringing the copyrights. Use of images "for review" is deemed fair usage in most countries. Later image inclusions have been deliberately marked to discourage further copying.
