Gurren Lagann is the greatest anime ever made and if you disagree we can't be friends (jk it's just an opinion :P).
I don't believe in rating anime by making an average of story, characters, animation and sound. That is complete BS because there are more aspects involved and enjoyment trumps everything in the end. Objectivity has no place here, i can't praise an anime if i don't like it personally.
Greatest AMV of the greatest anime:
Here's how my ratings work:
10/10: Not only does an anime need to be nearly flawless in my eyes (i say "nearly" because no anime is flawless) to be called a masterpiece, it also needs to have a spark of brilliance, something that sets it apart from the rest and makes it the best in a certain aspect. It needs to evoke the strongest of my emotions, or just blow my mind with unexpected twists.
9/10: Shows that i hold very dear and i'm proud to call my favorites. These are some of the most memorable experiences i've had with anime. However, they were lacking that spark of brilliance to make them worthy of the masterpiece title.
8/10: Highly enjoyable anime that kept my attention all throughout their runtime. They stay true to their identity and deliver strongly on writing and execution. They may have one major flaw that slightly detracts from the experience.
7/10: Enjoyable anime. Shows that i appreciate for what they are doing right. They mostly manage to keep my attention through their runtime and leave me satisfied after finishing them.
6/10: Somewhat enjoyable. Anime that i have a positive opinion about, bur had quite a few major flaws or weren't memorable enough. They kept me interested enough to finish them.
5/10: Passible anime. Shows that i have no strong opinion about. At some points enjoyable, at other points felt like a chore,these anime have a roughly equal amount of highs and lows.
4/10: Underwhelming. Anime with some redeeming qualities, but overall generic and uninteresting. I don't necessarily hate these anime, i just think they're a waste of time.
3/10: Boring and stupid. Anime that felt like a chore and had some issues that really got on my nerves. A pointless experience that i never wish to relive.
2/10: Barely watchable. Shows that i really struggle to find any good aspects about. If anything, the only reason they're not a 1 is because they look decent enough to be watchable. Stay away form these no-nos.
1/10: Unwatchable. I don't only hate these anime, i loathe the idea of their existence. I can't imagine who or why decided to "animate" them (i use quotes because these things can barely be called animated). Only watch them if you're prepared to gouge your eyeballs out.
My favorite anime(+vague reasons):
1. Gurren Lagann - the most brilliantly presented message
2. Kiseijuu - the best character development
3. Haikyuu - the best cast of characters
4. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - the most consistent anime
5. Madoka Magica Movie 3 - the most unexpected ending
6. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - the saddest anime
7. One Punch Man - the funniest anime
8. Nana - the most realistic anime
9. Perfect Blue - the most mind-blowing anime
10. Wolf Children - the perfect coming-of-age story
I commend you on how you aren't telling me how praise worthy the show is or telling me why I should like this show.
Most people I talk to on here tell me I have bad taste because I don't like their favorite anime and tell me how I should like those said shows.
That wasn't happening. I only saw one person doing that, everyone else made one long, or multiple comments presenting good arguments. Are you defending him because you agree with him?
This is a currently fun of quan zhi gao shou. I am sorry to see your commons on "Quan Zhi Gao Shou" yesterday, but still thank you for watching it.
I can see you used to try hard to find out the goodness of this animes from the long review about your feeling, and try to find the reasons people like quan zhi gao shou even it does not attract you at first. And that is why I feel sad about your final disappointed views. I consider MC as a person who smilel all the time while hiding his upset and anger inside, and I find out his real mood from his actions, such as smoking when he is upset. He looks OP in game because he is a pro-player, he know how to fight the boss and can easily defect newbies such asTang Rou. You said strategy doesn't matter when he is concerned, I understand that because they do not show it clearly in the anime. (Detail of Strategys was descirbed in the original novel, but truely it will takes the whole 20 min of a eps if they show all details.) His enemy appeared on eps 5. The development of characters start from eps 6. The reason nobody use classless was explained on eps 7, and also Competitor pro-player who as strong as MC appear. I feel so sorry you do not want to watch it anymore.
Now I am going to say something that you may disagree. Before several weeks, I saw your commons at discussion area. As a fun of quan zhi gao shou, I felt sad about what your feeling on this anime and checked the stats - you have dropped it. However, when I read the review today, I saw your long negative review there. I can understand you said that you hate quan zhi gao shou when you dropped it. In fact I agree that you have your commons about quan zhi gao shou and kind of understand why you feeling that way. Now quan zhi gao shou have 8 episodes already, but you still using your commons on first four eps, that is what I disagree. You are using your own prediction - which is totally different with the real story - to common your point. Quan zhi gao shou may have defects but not what you are saying in your review.
I am sorry about my poor expression and grammar. Still thank you for spending times on Quan zhi gao shou.
Maybe, who knows :) That's true ofc. Ty for the recommendation, although part of what makes me admire Berserk so much, at least in these early stages, is how dark and "depressing" it is, but I'll definitely eventually check it out! Thanks ^^ I'm just not really used to binge reading, and so reading ongoing series is a bit of a struggle for me atm
Well, it's not like I have read much manga to begin with, so that by itself doesn't mean a whole lot xD However, with the many manga that I'm interested in reading, I'm pretty sure my favorites will change significantly, but not my top 5 - where Berserk belongs - eheh. It has such a gripping character-driven story, and it isn't afraid of showing gore and envelop itself with mystery and thrill. I absolutely love it! :)

Thank you :')

But when I watched that video it brought up many points that I'd never even thought of...
I might have to watch it again and look at it in a more open-minded point of view!
How is Gurren Lagann good?
