Only other distinguishing thing I remember is the guy looking like he's charging up like DBZ and attacking a dragon.

Lol.

I actually found this to be decent, better than my expectations actually (I expected it to sort of suck).

(Note that decent means like 7.5/10, not 9/10)

Gives a sort of happy feeling while watching this (sort of like watching k-on).  Other than that, it isn't great.  7/10 maybe.

Sucked at pretty much everything (art, plot, making sense...), but was still pretty entertaining.

I'm going to move onto some of the bigger titles, stuff like Clannad and Baccano, because all the stuff I watched since the start of 2010 or so haven't been all that great.  Well, some of them were good, but none of them could reach lets say, a 9 level.

Here's a rough list of them....

(5) - Omamori Himari - made up a whole lot of bullchocolate for the ending.
(7.7)   - Toaru Kagaku no Railgun - Actually didn't suck like I sort of expected it to after the first few episodes, which was nice).
(7) - Vandread + 2nd
(5)   - Darker Than Black 2 - Worse than DtB1 in every single way - which is bad, when DtB1 was only like 7.5/10 for me).
(5) - Sacred Blacksmith - it's unfinished
(3)   - Princess Lover - 1st half 6.5, 2nd half is the most retarded shit I've ever seen in anime... you should watch it just to see how bad the 2nd half is.
(8)   - Macross Frontier - Was quite good the whole way, but the end wasn't really that good).
(7)   - Shinkyouku Soukai Polyphonica - Crimson S
(6) - Black Rock Shooter - Don't know what the hell was going on.  Sort of do now, thanks Hearty for explaining).
(5.5)   - Agent Aika, Aika R-16 - Fanservicy OVAs
(5.5)   - Yoake Mae yori Rui Iro na - QAULITY animation.


Even the eroge and shit have been sort of disappointing and that's usually not the case, since generally (not always) only the good stuff gets translated...

(7.5) - Eien no Aselia - Spirit of Eternity Sword - Others would probably give this like a 9, but that main character made me rage so many goddamn times... errr... pretty much everything about him pisses me off (besides for the fact that his in-game unit is extremely powerful)... and since the game mostly revolves around him... that didn't work out too well for me.  But besides for that, the gameplay is decent and the story was decent, but not great.

(6.5) - Daibanchou - Big Bang Age - Played this expecting something similar to Sengoku Rance, got something much inferior.  Ok, Sengoku Rance (Rance 7) was extremely awesome, one of the most addictive things I've played and would rate 9/10 or something like that.  Rance's gameplay was pretty challenging and overall decent, Daibanchou was me getting annoyed managing loyalty and order, and annoyed at the system's inflexibility.  Rance had a way more engaging story, Daibanchou's story is a mess, and Rouga (main character) isn't as awesome as Rance (Rouga only slightly awesome... but hey, that's a whole crapload better than Yuuto from EnA above), though that's highly subjective I guess.  Rolling over places in this just isn't the same as rolling over places in Rance.

That being said, out of all the eroge with gameplay I went through, I would rank...
Utawarerumono ≥ Sengoku Rance > Tears to Tiara > Eien no Aselia > Daibanchou.
So this year I ended up with the bottom 2, still bottom if you add in all the traditional VNs, because most of them are 8+ at least.
