♦ I rate shows based on enjoyment and appreciation, with enjoyment taking priority. The distinction is made because appreciation does not always translate to enjoyment. If you see me score something obscure or niche higher than consensus classics, that is why.
♦ Specials and non-original OVAs won't get scored as long as they're simply shorts or a couple more episodes of the original show. If I consider them significant enough (4+ episode sequel OVA etc.) they will get scored normally. Favorites (Updated 10.2023)

Updated for 2023. Do not question the criteria, I had to put these somewhere!

Favorite visual novels - (WIP)
Utawarerumono: Mask Sequels, Umineko no Naku Koro ni
2024. Not even remotely enough for a 3x3, though I've read through utaware enough times to fill two of them
Score explanations and examples (Updated 10.2023)
10: Masterclass Puella Magi Madoka Magica & Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Thought-evoking, emotionally gripping, beautiful visually and structurally. Peak craftsmanship and vision. Any and all of those qualities.
●
Triple Feature!!!
9: Amazing Senki Zesshou Symphogear XV, Hellsing Ultimate, Getter Robo Armageddon & Jojo Part 7: Steel Ball Run
Most, if not all the same qualities as a 10, to a lesser degree. Threshold for favorite status. The amazing(ly) goofy series somehow end up gathering here...
●
8: Great Munou na Nana & Goblin Slayer
Series I don't strictly consider a favorite but do feel compelled to think about and revisit.
●
7: Good Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! (anime) & Youjo Senki (manga)
Enjoyable the entire way through or has enough good to outweigh weaker or outright detrimental aspects.
●
6: Enjoyable Isekai Maou (S1) & Übel Blatt
Surprisingly endearing or just somewhat above mediocre. Perhaps packaged with problems proportional to the series' strong points. If I had an unambiguously positive experience with it, this is the lowest score I will give.
●
5: Average to Mediocre Overlord (anime) & Magi
Average, mediocre, or a complete mixed bag to the point where feeling positively about it is unfeasible. Host to most of my 2015 watches that I remember nothing from, also... Any show I haven't watched since then with this score can be ignored.
●
4, 3, 2, 1:The bad Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka (anime)
My reasons for disliking series are very individual, but 4 and 3 can be considered series I found to be painfully mediocre or offensively bad, and my few 2s and 1 can be considered to be series I found comically bad or a historical travesty.
