It's so kind of you to write me! I really wasn't expecting anyone I tagged to write back, so thank you~

I definitely agree that I'm getting more comfortable with rating and more properly appreciating shows and learning more about what I like in the process. I really do feel that using the whole number scale has helped me realize that not everything can be a 10, and that's such a good thing, you know? I'm really enjoying thinking more critically when I watch, and it has definitely increased my enjoyment, like you said.

I'm really flattered that you think I should try and write a review! Maybe I'll go for it once the Winter season is ending... maybe~

And you are so welcome! I genuinely did mean it when I said that you had a huge influence on breaking me out of my rating shell, and I'll always be grateful for that.

P.S. There's so much I could say about how your rating system impacted me, but I would say the biggest way would be:
The idea of not giving into the hype... especially because that was how I used to rate. It sounds silly now, but I used to give things a higher score if they were a "hyped-up" anime, even if I didn't really feel that way about them; simply because there was so much hype around them. When I took that to heart, I honestly felt a lot more free, and it really helped me start searching my own, actual feelings, for how I felt about something. There are a lot of shows I used to rate highly because I thought I "had to", so many 10s I gave because I thought going any lower than that would be "disrespectful to the anime" lol.
So I really appreciated how you don't do that with your rating system, and actively avoid following hype!

For example, I really agreed with your review on Spy x Family Part 2, and after I read it, I realized that, while I enjoyed it, it really was "just okay" to me. And that I didn't have to rate it highly simply because it's "Spy x Family". Like, the idea that it's okay to think that it was just "okay", if that makes sense.
And more generally, of course, seeing how you actually use the whole scale of numbers when rating, made me realize I could do it, too!

We've got similar tastes btw.. I just noticed

I'm sorry but I'll reply to your comment here

Wait that meme is still active now, it's been years lol. First of all, I'll make this clear... Puck isn't my most fav character in the series, he got so less screen time anyways.
The thing with Puck is that people don't realize how important he is to Emilia's past and character as a whole. She wouldn't have survived or wouldve been stable at least, if she was by herself when she unfroze. Puck has been taking care of her since that long. It's not even mentioned in the anime but the reason Puck does her hair was so that she doesn't have to look in the mirror and remember the Elior forest incident( the trail was when she first saw her grown self).
The most common reason for people to hate him I think, is because he ended their contract with her so abruptly without explaining anything (in s2). He wanted her to remember the past that she was so scared of, that she had hidden in herself.. That was what the situation demanded and he put faith in Subaru that he'd handle Emilia.
It hasn't been told yet why Puck was contract with Emilia but ig, we'll get to know about him more in the later seasons/volumes ( that is, if Teppei doesn't forget him lmao)

Read your review of Raven Palace. I am somewhat in awe of your writing skills. You put my feelings about the story into clear descriptions and observations. Also, you like apple pie so that's another win.

Great review on spy x family part 2. I agree with pretty much everything. (2)
