The scores I give are meant to reflect what the anime meant to me personally rather than an objective assessment. As a general guideline of what my scores mean to me
10-9 - Favourites: I'd recommend them to anyone
8 - Really liked: Very good shows that could be close to greatness.
7 - Liked: I'd recommend them to certain people if that's what they're looking for. But I wouldn't exactly call them great.
6-5 - Meh: Either because it has nothing that's either good or bad or has plenty of good things, but plenty of bad things that cancels out the good.
4-1 - Bad: So bad that technically it has negative value (6-5 are my starting standards)
A more specific score is given in the Tags column as over time whole numbers became too restrictive. Specific scores aren't given for anime in the 4-1 range, specials and some stand alone OVAs. There will probably be some exceptions to these rules that have their own specific reasons.

The first dozen of episodes suffered a slow pacing in my opinion and takes a lot of time to develop the character and the setting, which is reasonable from what you have seen (but then I don't have a lot of interest towards the show until around episode 13 and it's two-cour). You could trust me if you want, but it gets a lot better halfway and even if it feels flawed, the way it executes the story was decently well-balanced and the characterization becomes impressive for some characters, but not without a couple of icky moments. Give the show a couple more episodes (reaching up to 14 was ideal for me personally) if you have free time and when your thoughts haven't changed as it was before, leave it to the dropping bin.
Though can't say I liked Arcueid that much... The ones I'm most interested in are Ciel and Akiha. Really hope that Akiha doesn't have a mega brother complex with incest indications though.
Are their personalities and powers more explored in the game?
What did you think of Unicorn OVA 4/Age as of late?
And finally, what's up for this winter?
Hmm, Rider's simply popular because of his looks and attitude, plus the Waver comedy duo. He is kinda shallow I guess; not gonna make my favorites list any time soon, but he is fun to watch.
And yea, Chihayafuru rocks, though sometimes the melodrama gets a bit too over the top.
And about my profile, I have a notice there regarding comments. It's simply a privacy thing. In the event that I give someone I know personally a link to my anime list, I don't want some idiot to post on my profile saying, "Hey, George! Wanna come down to Moscow for the upcoming anime convention?" Then everyone will know my name and address. Some people choose to disclose this information publicly on the internet but I'm not one of them. My name's not George and I don't live in Russia by the way, it's just an example.
