Personal Opinions

Archduke

I think that this isn't necessarily an amazing show, but they did a great job with the animation, fight scenes, and voice acting. This is a short and sweet show packed with ultraviolence. It's just awesome, and you should watch it soon. They also did a great job with the dub, in my opinion; a rarity for anime, for sure.

Kleptobot

The fight scenes and the artwork are very well done. The soundtrack is also amazing. Don't expect much in the way of coherent plot or setting and you'll like it fine.

BetterDead

Weak plot, weak characterisation. Excellent animation and action scenes. Mindless violence - the main character is voiced in the dub by Samuel L. Jackson, so that's something.
