Description:  Various nations plot to secure Evangelion
technology for themselves and the supposedly disbanded 
SEELE does what it always did.  

Comments:  This is looking pretty good.  Personally, I'm
not sanguine about the dummy plugs.  The Evangelions are 
living beings with no reason to be loyal and that makes
them inherently unreliable, although I suppose they would
still be more reliable than whack-jobs like Ikari and
Langely.

Description:  The religiously motivated terrorists launch 
a major assault to destroy the EVAs and most of the
city. 

Comments:  Line length error.  I am of course very skeptical
about the idea of artificially generating an AT field.  
That would require a degree of quantum level understanding
of angelic physics that humanity shows no sign of having.
I still can't figure out what makes this "dark".

Description:  Tenchi and co get to reprise 
"Who Goes There?".  

Comments:  This one deserved a "Dark" tag.  It would
have been better to post the other fic separately.

    Every shot was being replaced by some sort of claw,
    tentacle, or mouth attempting to stretch out and grab
    any of them.

"replaced" is clearly the wrong word.

Description:  Mokona and Hikaru end up in the world of Pokemon.

Comments:  Pretty typical, "gosh ain't that cool" crossover.
Why couldn't Ash summon Charmander to save the 
Charmeleon?   Giving Hikaru a chance to show off isn't 
good enough.  You need something explaining that Charmander
wouldn't be hot enough, or something making him unavailable
like having sent him back to Professor Oak's for a while.
Minor formatting error.

Description:  The proverbial villain with a heart of 
gold makes his appearance.

Comments:  

'Gold' watched the white dragon as it disappeared in the horizon. "I'll
pay my debt to that murderer, and then I'll be free to kill him." he
muttered.

A tree is suddenly cut by a flash of light. For a moment it remains the
same, then it slowly slides to its side and falls.

Whoops, slipped into present tense.

"For the same reason as you, I guess. Besides, I haven't joined him,
I'm repaying my dept. When that is done, I shall kill him."

"debt"

The conversation between Gold and Sapphire doesn't make
a great deal of sense.

Description:  New character fic.  The authorial avatar
pops up magically in the middle of Macross, to the 
confusion of all.  

Comments:  Although it is likely based on actual events
in the series the political reasoning behind the decision 
to keep the inhabitants of Macross City from getting off
makes no sense as given.  A better justification would
be that the inhabitants know something that the government
would like kept secret, such as the "size" of the alien
threat.

Description:  Akane discovers Ranma's vitality impaired
condition.  

Comments:  Twenty pages is only a drop in the barrel of
this epic.  I've only really ever found one thing to
criticize in the whole thing.  The woman just doesn't
make mistakes.

Description:  Interpersonal relationships continue
to be strained as Sasami and the rest are on their way to
Jurai.  

Comments: A few subtle spelling errors

Without having to explain herself, Mayuka's father had simply
excepted his older daughter's developing independence and allowed

"accepted"

recognized, poor attitude turned into wild confusion, pain, and
a keening wailing the dissolved into a torrent of tears and weeping.

the what?

spreading my own wings, I never even noticed her slow, spiraling
decent.  I can console myself that no one else noticed either, but that

"descent"

       Taking in the awesome spectacle of decent through the
planet's atmosphere, I was taken to an emotion unlike that

And again.

There's something vaguely disturbing about this pat division
of light and darkness to me.

Description:  Pluto acts as deus ex machina.  

Comments:  The Silver Millenium is the past, not the future.
The future is the Crystal Millenium, I think.  

I have some reservations about having the problem just
arbitrarily solved that way, but it is kind of funny
I suppose.

Description:  Brief psychological piece about the emotional
price of taking a life.

Comments:  Would be better if you deleted the first 
paragraph.  The first sentence of the second paragraph
is a great way to open a story.

Description:  SEELE continues to strive to "evolve"
humanity despite NERV and the U.N.

Comments:     

The blood red light reflected off Misato's reading glasses. "Use
your imagination. Make it something creative. Colourful. And extremely
unpleasant."

Oh come on.  What's the purpose of that?  Even a corrupted
Misato would just shoot the prisoner.

Description:  Team Rocket tries to recruit Hikaru.

Comments:  Needs proof reading.  For example:  

"Being Team Rocket member, you will be exented of official duties. So,
want to join?" 
It would be better if Team Rocket had made their
offer before Hikaru had already been legitimised.
After all, if they have nothing to offer Hikaru,
it isn't a mark of virtue to refuse.

Description:  Mihoshi and Tenchi stumble into the bad
guys.  

Comments:  On the whole I'm not a big fan of the Mihoshi
effect, but it's cleverly applied in this case.
