Always watch the uncut/uncensored version of the Anime. An edited version diminishes its full value. The only exception for watching the edited version of an Anime would be for very minor edits that do not impact the overall story or characters.
Do not watch ripoffs of other Anime unless it is enjoyable or seems like it is worth watching. Ex: Guilty Crown=Code Geass ripoff
Subsection of the Second Rule: Some Anime are better when they are not viewed in their airing orders. So only deviate from this rule when the alternate viewing order is recommended.
Subsection of the Third Rule: If the Third Rule (finishing an Anime) conflicts with the Second Rule (watch in proper order) then attempt to complete the series as best as possible. Filler episodes are entirely optional to watch since they do not contribute to the plot.

Watch video (not my video): MyAnimeList Ratings AnalysedAfter using MyAnimeList for a while, I found its rating and review systems to be a bit contradictory at times so I created my own pre-watch rating system in order for me to watch only the best/good anime while avoiding the bad ones.
My Pre-Watch Rating Scale; This is based on MAL's current rating system. Exceptions will be made if the Anime is good enough (or bad enough), this includes any underrated or hidden Anime
9.3-10 = Extremely Good - has ignorable problems due to its awesomeness
8.6-9.2 = Very Good - has negligible problems
8.1-8.5 = Good - has very minor problems
7.8-8 = Good Enough - it's good but it has some problems
7.5-7.7 = Above Decent - it's good but it has problems
7.0-7.4 = Decent - watchable, not too generic or it is generic but worth watching for plot, characters, comedy, art style, etc.
6.0-6.9 = Less than Decent - most generic anime lie here as well as incomplete or badly written anime
1-5.9 = Bad - not even worth your time except when it's So Bad It's Good
Tags: GOOD*, good*, good, good-, decent*, decent, decent-, bad
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Post-Watch Rating Scale; I use this rating scale on my Completed Anime only.
Note: The Pre-Watch tags in the commentsdo not reflect these scores.
10 = Extremely Good - has negligible and ignorable problems due to its awesomeness
9 = Very Good - has ignorable problems but is awesome nonetheless
8 = Good - good story but minor noticeable problems i.e. clichés (shows that I consider as a 7.5 will be rounded up to 8 or rounded down to 7)
7 = Decent – watchable but has common problems: clichés, lacking plot/story/character development, inappropriate deus ex machina...etc.
6 = Tolerable – has noticeable problems: too short, not enough plot/story, dated animation, very repetitive, lots of filler episodes...etc.
5 = Generic - only watch if you have time to burn or if it's short; this full of overused clichés/tropes
4 or less = Practically Unwatchable - not even worth your time due to it being incomplete, badly written or universally panned by everyone

Hello! Just letting everyone who made requests know that all Bunkasai signatures, Colorful cards, and any extras made have been completed and are available for pickup (in case you didn't get the notification). 😊🎉 Backup albums were also added there so your graphics should always be available. And the Colorful cards make great mobile wallpapers anyone can use. There's many characters available for them- I've been using this Yuno one 🥰️
If anyone needs help with installing signatures and adding a link to the image (you can link it to a page with your Bunkasai collection!), I have a recorded guide here. More designing info and help in our club stickies.
Thanks for participating in the Bunkasai, you helped make it a big success 🙏
Aww that's kind of true, ~10 min bus ride from my apartment to campus. But at least you don't have to see other people while you commute LOL.
Ohh I see :P. Are you the type of person who waits until an anime has aired all of its episodes before you start to watch it?
Yuss I really need to get on my PTW, but I either find other things to watch that weren't even on my PTW, or even if I do make a dent on the PTW, I add more than I watch, so it's a never ending cycle x.x!
Good to know c:! What's been your favourite anime that has the "stuck in a video game" or similar theme? I really really liked Log Horizon season 1, but season 2 was totally downhill for me. I think I also enjoyed .hack//sign, but it's been a really long time since I last saw it. I was planning to rewatch it a while ago, but after I saw some reviews and ratings that didn't really make it sound so good; I guess it made me procrastinate on rewatching it lol.
:O cooool I didn't know this was a thing!! I've spent the most time watching Action, Supernatural and Shounen... that feels so wrong LOL. I guess watching all of Bleach has really skewed my results.
Sorry for the late reply BTW~ It's probably going to be a common thing because of school OTL. I'm guessing your semester has already started?? If so, hope it's going well so far ^-^!!
Aw, sorry to hear about school, but I totally relate lol. I was on a work term in the fall, so back to school for the winter semester and the post holidays depression is so real right now. I live away from home due to uni and already missing my friends and family. Also the gross weather is not helping either >.<!
Oh cool! I think I tried watching Fairy Tail like back in high school, but I just couldn't get into it lol.
Oooooh kind of like an anti-hero!? I love those types of protagonists. I don't like OP protagonists much though lol >.< but not going with the cliches might be the saving grace for me, thanks for the info ^^!
Loool, I feel like I was one of the few people who kind of enjoyed SAO before it stopped being SAO.
What are some of your favourite types of genres? Also let me know if you find any good survival game ones please!
Hiii! Happy belated New Year ^^!!!
Haven't talked for a while! I saw that you added some Overlord stuff to your PTW, was just wondering how you liked the first season?? A friend recommended it to me since season 2 is coming out~
Have you watched anything recently that you enjoyed? Anything you're looking forward to??
Hope school and everything is well by the way c: !!
Thank you for the greeting <3
Also, thanks a tons for the recommendation. It has been hard finding a good anime nowadays, so I tend to drop most of the one I watched
I watched and loved SAO for a long time until I played some mmorpg and half of the server named their chars Asuna or Kirito zzz
