This is how I rate most anime and manga, which is identical to MAL's scoring system. Well, most. There are a few exceptions which include hentai and guilty pleasures (To LOVE-Ru, for example).
Note: I tend to be harsh on experimental shorts, recaps and the like for some obvious reasons.
Masterpiece: 10
A masterfully crafted title, and one that has heavily resonated with me. It has nearly always kept me emotionally invested and engrossed throughout its runtime, and may have even changed my perspective about certain aspects of life. Might not be entirely flawless, but that couldn't affect my experience in the end.
Example: Koe no Katachi
Great: 9
An excellent title displaying brilliance in most aspects, but had a few hiccups along the way that slightly lessened my enjoyment.
Example: Shinsekai yori
Very Good: 8
A very remarkable title, but had the potential to be something even greater. Still, it was mostly very entertaining and did a lot more things right than wrong.
Example: Deca-Dence
Good: 7
A title with some noticeable issues that lessened my enjoyment quite a bit. Nonetheless, it was fairly decent and enjoyable for the most part.
Example: Hello World
Fine: 6
An unremarkable title that suffers from a considerable amount of major flaws, but can oftentimes be entertaining.
Example: Another
Average: 5
A fairly mediocre title with almost an equal amount of pros and cons. There isn't much to talk about it for the most part.
Example: Charlotte
Bad: 4
A below average title with a lot of shortcomings. However, it did have a few saving graces that didn't make it completely unamusing.
Example: Citrus
Very Bad: 3
A title that's very difficult to watch because of the abundance of flaws prevalent throughout it. Not totally irredeemable, but still unwatchable.
Example: Kamisama ni Natta Hi
Horrible: 2
A terrible title with little to no redeeming factors. Only a marginally decent aspect or two saved it from getting a 1/10.
Example: Sword Art Online (yeah even the first season is shit)
Appalling: 1
An utterly unenjoyable title that's beyond redemption in regard of its story and characters. The production quality might not have been that bad, but it just wasn't enough to compensate for the godawful writing. Would only recommend if you are a masochist or looking for ironic enjoyment.
Example: Mars of Destruction (it's a classic)
I don't know if you knew this, but most of the story ideas were Sakamoto's. The original author of the manga wanted to create something else, but due to creative differences, he left the series, and Sakamoto put his spin on it (which I'm glad; was a memorable read). What are some of your favorite panels? (the panel where Mori was portrayed as some sort of monster amid the city was one of my personal favorites, really showed how he alienated himself from society as well as how society typically views a person like Mori).
oh yeah, that scene was beautifully portrayed, too. loved how the mangaka was showing Mori's own mentality as he was going through that dilemma to the point of going insane.
and yeah, it was supposed to be some sort of monster when Mori was getting sucked off.
hmm, yeah I see your point, most of the characters aside from Mori and the main cast were pretty much just written as assholes and nothing else and I did wish Sakamoto wrote some more humane characters that didn't just exist for the sake of just using Mori as a tool but considering the nature of the story, I'd say he did it in order to make the readers feel more empathetic for Mori, but that's just my thoughts. really amazing artist though, not many mangakas are able to depict visual metaphors with that much visual elegance as he does. have you considered reading the creator's other work, yet?
hope you're feeling better now. and I see, for me, birthdays aren't that big of a deal either aside from the fact that you eat a slice of cake and that's about it (it's more of a personal thing since I'm not much for parties). I noticed that you've been reading the climber, what are your thoughts on it?
