Started watching anime in March 2021 with Naruto (not counting Doraemon). Indian. English is my 2nd (or 3rd) language.

I watch anime almost always in Japanese with subtitles, and will advise the same. For me, the the original Jap voice acting is one part of enjoying a show. Besides, many shows are essentially untranslable (e.g. Chihayafuru, Gintama, Rakugo Shinju, among many others).

I dislike shows that are all "wholesome" fluff and no substance, or shows that try to be deep and profound but fall short by a wide margin, ending up as hollow and pretentious.

I score shows broadly on two aspects——
1. How it made me feel while watching i.e. how much I enjoyed it at the moment.
2. How I feel about it in hindsight i.e. how much of the show's story, characters, themes stuck with me in the future.

6.5/10 is my default score for shows that I watch, mildly enjoy and forget. It's for shows that are very unoffensive but also unmemorable. Or shows whose few glaring flaws are being balanced by its strengths. That becomes 7 if the experience is overall positive, or 6 if it's overall meh.
