Yo! The names Henshin-sennin, but you can also call me Sensei or Guy if you'd like! My hobbies include reading manga/watching anime, playing vidya/tabletop games, listening to music (regular and anime music) and also singing along as well. (Did you really need to know all that though?) I also like to write when my mood permits (not so much lately though).
As mentioned before, I'm an avid anime/manga consumer who just likes to read manga and watch anime. I am not some "Amalgamation of Anime Wisdom" or "Messiah of Manga". I just simply enjoy the type of media.
*Priority ratings may not be up-to-date. I try to keep them updated as I go but sometimes I forget. If a series is rated "Low", check if I've finished the series or not. That's usually an indicator.
A quick mention of something before I get into this. I grade pieces by a certain criteria that I follow. I shall list the criteria for those that wish to know exactly how I do so: Story/Plot/Narrative, Characters/Character Development, Pacing/Overall Aesthetic, Technical Merit; e.g. Audio/Music, Cinematography, Art, Animation, etc.
My enjoyment of an anime/manga does not belong in my grading system. It also does not go towards my overall score given. I grade a series enjoyment by the Priority or Re-watch value that I give it on my list. Now without further ado, here is how I hand out scores going from 1-10:
Notice: The scores I give are my opinion, I'm just winging it, really. Please don't take them too seriously. I honestly just put this here for a reference, for the most part.
1Literal processed sh*t. This score is reserved for the worst of the worst. I only give this score if the anime/manga is so bad that it couldn't possibly be any worse. It is also reserved for pieces that may be considered enjoyable, but actually don't serve any purpose to the medium and are overall terrible. Go back to whatever womb you crawled out of, kid.
2Why? No anime/manga wants this score. Pieces should avoid this score like the plague, even if it is slightly better than getting a 1. This score is for the ones that are just plain terrible. If an anime is given this score it's usually for a good reason, either it was bad overall or just a hollow attempt. You wouldn't wish this score upon even your own worst enemy. If this is the best ya' got, I hope you have a talent you've been hiding.
3Poor show, sport. Were they even trying? Why did they even bother making this? This score is specifically for anime/manga that are just plain bad. They're not bad in a good way and most definitely not good in a bad way. Does that make sense? I don't really care, because I don't care about pieces that I give this score. The medium learns nothing from shlock like this. Pieces given this score should just be filed in a drawer in the basement of a library located in Timbucktu. Is that the best you can do? I'm disappointed.
4Below Average. Pieces that have less than even the minimum are given this score. Whether they had less than interesting/poorly-written characters or a boring and messy story. It's all just subjective in the end, don't you think? They just didn't live up to the standard that better works set. It might have potential, but in the end, it just doesn't make the cut. I know you've got more than that somewhere. Try harder next time.
5Eh, Average. Pieces given this score did the least that was expected of them and nothing else. Getting a score like this isn't a bad thing at all, it just means that it was mediocre at best. There's nothing particularly wrong with them, they just didn't do anything but the bare minimum. Promise? I don't see promise in you, kid, just potential. There's a difference.
6Above Average. This score is for the pieces that put that little bit more into the end product. They have more polish than some run-of-the-mill 4-5 anime/manga and are generally better than average. Series with more flaws than strengths can also usually be found with this score. Not bad, kid. Not bad at all.
7Good stuff. A score for the pieces that went for a loftier goal, to make something...more? While perusing my list, you'll find pieces given this score are all pretty good in their own right. Still playing it safe but they came out fairly well regardless of a lack of ambition. I highly recommend anything with this score or higher. Flawed in some aspects? Sure. It's still a job well done. You're goin' places, kid.
8Gureto daze! Pieces carrying this score are nothing short of a truly great anime/manga. A piece that provides well constructed technical aspects, a well written fluid story and a cast of fleshed out and memorable characters. Perhaps something that could even be considered a classic in my eyes. May have one or two glaring flaws but still a very solid piece. Well whaddya know. I never expected this kid, color me surprised.
9Almost (not) perfect. A lofty score...no doubt about that. Any piece carrying this score around on their belt truly deserves praise (if you value my opinion at all that is). Whether they be a classic that set a bar for a genre or a revolutionary piece that changed the very face of that genre. Maybe neither of those things. These pieces are the shining examples that get a 9-10 in every category. Be proud of the pieces given this score, they deserved it. *rubs hands together* I've been waiting a loooong time, this is gonna be good!
10[REDACTED] I have a problem with the 10 rating in a 1-10 rating system. Or any top number that exists in a number rating really. As its existence alludes to the fact that a perfect piece of art exists. Which I vehemently disagree with as nothing is truly perfect. But, given the fact that it is still a number that exists, I guess I'll have to say this... There will never be a really, truly, perfect piece of art. It is objectively and, dare I say, physically impossible for it to exist. The existence of the number 10 is just, a means to an end for me. Think of this as ... a placeholder. *finger gun* How did you get this strong? Even I'm not this strong. Who, or what, are you...?

I actually found it on Twitter when i was scrolling through my newsfeed. I think IGN posted something about it. I didn't know that it was going to be airing on the Toonami block instead of regular Cartoon Network. Means it can be a lot more mature and much darker then the previous iteration. Don't know if you read up on it, but it says the new season will be 10 episodes long and set 50 years past where season 4 ended.
