Report Bocchi_theglock's Profile

I'm looking for anime that can make me ugly cry. Fond of post-apocalyptic shows, impressive worldbuilding, themes around the environment & human nature. Needs to be gounded, I'll drop shows if the power of friendship solves everything, or if people are saved at the last second too often.

Pref stories with more serious/adult themes and complex moral outlook. But also if it just had cultural impact & generated memes - that's lasting in its own way. I finally see shows as a way to share a message and move masses, so I've been tryna learn what works.

I appreciate cool directing, willing to check out avant-garde/experimental stuff and novel storytelling, even if it's older, with weak animation or 3D.

I work around~ politics, so if any show represents that well, either via technical accuracy or just being emotionally moving & civic-related - plz recommend

My rating system is basically shifted by 1pt so 4 is average, 5 just above average. I only started watching anime in 2019, mostly for the culture/memes I missed out on. Also binged plenty of trash while in recovery, but nowadays I'll quickly drop something if I feel like I'm wasting my time.

10 - Masterpiece. Breathtaking artistic & cultural value, makes up for flaws.
9 - Incredible. Must-watch. Some minor flaws.
8 - Somewhat amazing. Highly rec for anime obsessives.
7 - Solidly good to great. Prob won't rewatch tho.
6 - Good I guess, trash/popcorn level.
5 - Mildly enjoyable, but feels like I'm wasting my life.
4 - Average (not median). Barely memorable.
3 - Weak. Largely disappointing & forgettable.
2 - Bad / Shitty / Terrible
1 - Distasteful Tragedy. Actually unprofessional to publish.

Scores influenced by rating systems from the /r/anime podcast on the subject. all copied-

Rewatchability:

"4-1: This show actively wasted my time & is some degree of awful.
5: I can't tell whether the show was worth watching.
6: The show was worth watching, but I wouldn't bother rewatching.
7: The show was good & I'd consider rewatching.
8: The show is special, & I would absolutely rewatch.
9: I love the show, & will rewatch multiple times, but it's ultimately too flawed to be a 10.
10: Transcends anime; is simply excellent art. Find something new to appreciate every rewatch."


On difference between 9 and 10 -

"9 - Near perfect, no major complaints about anything in show & good qualities are exceptionally well executed. In quality these are on par with a 10.

"10 - Near perfect, and crucially important to me on a personal level. These are shows that fundamentally changed the way I think about things or noticeable impact on the way I live my life."

(content warning: gore)

The rating scale logic is:

instead of rating 'very ugly person' or terrible meal a 1/10, I'd reserve the lowest score for appearances that verge on medical gore: bloody & scarred, pus or snot leaking - or, for food - extremely bitter stuff like wormwood tea, eating bark, dirt, or a loved one, plus that myth/movie scene with live monkey brains 'delicacy'.
