Animation is a complex form of entertainment and the one closest to my heart. I usually don't like to separate western cartoons from anime, as both have the same merit and potential. Still, when i use the term "anime", i usually mean commercial animation made in japan.
This site allows me to rate everything i watch on a very scientific 1-10 scale, so here are some arbitrary descriptions on what i could mean by any given number. Any and all ratings are subject to change
10 - The "Perfect" ones. As things such as perfect don't exist, a 10 is an anime executed so well, that trying to fix its flaws would potentially ruin its magic. These anime aren't necessarily all of my favorites, but one has to be a favorite to get a super-special 10 rating from me. They usually speak to me in a very special way.
9 - The "Single Excuse" ones. Really-really great stuff, that i'd recommend to almost anyone. What i found interesting is that after rating 100+ entries, that all the 9s have a very clear single element that makes them ever slightly slip off the 10 category, even if these could be otherwise overlooked.
8 - Category "Awesome". Because these truly are. An 8 can be a 9 with a more distracting fault, or an incomplete, but great entry (e.g. it has a very bad/distracting ending), or a very good sequel to previous, less great entries, where some problems inevitably carry over from the past.)
7 - Category "Good". 7 can seem to be "category average", but they only are average among shows that are already decent. The everyday example of a 7 is a show that is very likeable even if clumsily put together. Or something that has many enjoyable elements even if the final product is kind of meh. I can still really, really like a 7 anime, but in those cases i'm painfully aware of its faults and imperfections.
6 - Category "Value". I got my money back in entertainment. These entries have oh so many faults but ultimately it was still worth watching them. 6 is also the category where i "exile" some entries that were really promising but squandered their, IMO, great potential and crashed and burned. Like Fairy Tail, or Ancient Magus Bride. They might be better than a 6, but i remain spiteful.
5 - Category "Meh". Either the category of no feelings at all, or the category of heavily mixed feelings. Or the MiB visited me and neutralized all memories of category 5 anime. All anime i start watching theoretically start out as a 5.
4 - Category "Rolling Eyes". These might have had a good start or at least something going for them, but overall amounted into a complete waste of time. A category full of misses, these were really not worth seeing at all
3 - Category "Anger". Emotions once again resurface when we talk about a series rated a 3. The only difference between these and a 4 is that a 4 is just generally awful, while a 3 even has outstandingly awful moments in it as a bonus.
2 - Category "Incompetence". I question the existence of these entries. The creators of these entries no longer have my respect and sympathy, as they clearly didn't care for making anything watchable
1 - Category "Radioactive Waste". These made anyone who watched it and just the whole world in general worse. I'm not really one to rate any entry a cat. 1 as
for one, things can always be worse, 2, rarely does something so awful comes along that it makes other things bad.
Also i want to be sociable online but being an active member of forums or chatrooms really usually don't work out for me, so idk, pm me and lets chat about things (i guess about anime, since we are on this site)
HAha XD Well, I'm not that active on Discord and I haven't seen you around, so yes, I wanted to know how were you ^.^
Do you need to watch something from Lupin III before watching that film? I would really like to watch something from Lupin :O
I'm doing fine :) I would really like to get into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and have all the time in the world to watch everything I want, and read all the manga I want as well XD
By the way, we've started with the nominations for the All Time Best Hair ^.^ Feel free to post your nominees, if you wish, and have a lot of fun with it :D
I'll try to decide on mine this night.... before watching seasonals ;)
Hiro having those things on his forehead, Nana and Hachi also being controlled by the elders (I should have suspected that)
... I think those things surprised me the most. I think Kokoro being so obsesed with childbirth was too much, but, at the very same time, I think it's something a little bit more logic... them being on their puberty ages would explain.
I'm happy with Mitsuru's change of attitude. I feel he'll do better for his group. Being so stubborn wouldn't help if not.
I'm also curious about the klaxosaur princess. She must have something to do with Zero Two... like being her sister, for instance. And I also agree with you about the death thing. There will be deaths for sure. I just also hope they won't all die :/
HAHA. I've never watched SAO :P But I see people enjoying it and people who don't.
And I have the same feeling with Darling! It's not my top, actually, but I find it entertaining :)
I didn't really like the first two eps of BnHA... they looked like a fanservice OVA... but with the third and fourth it came back as it used to be, so I'm glad :D
