LEGACY ACCOUNT! Stopped watching anime with english subs in September 2023 as I decided to go in on learning japanese. To separate between shows experienced in english (full comprehension) and japanese (also due to the fact that I'm gonna be rewatching through different lens), I made an immersion MAL profile you can find at O_Polo_JAP, but I have since switched to AniList due to the bad precedent MAL set by not including Scott Pilgrim in their database, but now I've realized the platform is also just better. I welcome you in joining me in the switch because the only thing AniList lacks is a big community like MAL's, with all the reviews, discussions and stacks (only thing I miss from MAL :sob:). Also, the rating criteria has been pretty shit for a while and def needs to be revised, and since I won't be updating this account anymore who knows how long has passed when you see this, so take ratings with a grain of salt. Feel free to send me a friend request at https://anilist.co/user/OPoloJAP/

ratings and their meanings:
10 - Masterpiece: Apart from just having almost no flaws, it has to impact me personally and I must have generally enjoyed it immensly. The difference between a 9 and a 10 show is mostly personal bias really. If a 9 show is perfect in almost everything it tries to achieve, then a 10 show is also the same but the things it tries to achieve really appeal to me personally.
9 - Excellent: Perfect in everything it tries to achieve. Has almost no flaws. Any anime here is extraordinary, perfectly executed, and brings something new to its own genre. Missing that impact or enjoyment, or just a few things that bring it down a bit. Shows here are masterclasses of anime. Engaging and unique, shows here have very unique ideas or aspects that are executed very well. These shows have a lasting impact that lasts for a while, getting close to invoking the post-show void. Any show here is a must-watch really.
8 - Very Good: Innovative, and original. Has some minor flaws. Extremely solid overall, has its own thing going on and executes it very well. Anything here is a solid recommendation to anyone. Shows here probably have some unique ideas or aspects that separate them from the rest. Here, shows have a bit more of a lasting impact.
7 - Good: Good idea, not so good execution. So it had something going for it, but kinda ruined by something else. Shows here are entertaining all around but nothing more really. They usually don't have any lasting impact, just a fun time with good moments and maybe cool ideas here and there, but mostly lacking in anything really special.
6 - Fine: A bit above average. Does a bit more than just the average. Pretty entertaining with some occasional moments and maybe some innovative things but mostly forgettable after watching.
5 - Average: Average. What more can I say?
4 - Bad: Worse than the average.
3 - Very Bad: Has some major flaws.
2 - Horrible: Does almost everything wrong, but has at least one redeeming quality.
1 - Apalling: Everything is bad. There are no redeeming qualities. It does absolutely nothing right.

Also one thing, I rarely give less than 6 cause I usually just don't watch shows if they're average or worse cause they're just not worth my time, I get bored, and I could just be watching something else that's better.
