Rather than going by MAL's simplistic, binary ratings since it insufficiently distinguishes the "good" from the merely "fine," I made this (rather detailed) rating system.
10.) These anime challenge the idea that nothing is, or ever will be, perfect. A truly arresting love project that slaves to its medium. A 10/10 is reserved for the transcendent wet dreams of anime, and of art in general. Get in- it's anime at its finest.
9.) Here, anime does what others have done- better. Pioneering pieces of their medium, these anime are conceptually on-the-nose. A 9/10 is reserved for my personal pillars of artistic expression with which I have few minor gripes.
8.) Great, memorable content that I consider to be duly notable and have a few outstandingly lacking components. Overall, this anime is promising and there is little to complain about, though more so than that of a 9.
7.) This anime is enjoyable, regardless (or sometimes, like in the case of Ghost Stories' dub, because) of their flaws. This anime tier is reserved for the anime I liked but quickly forgot about, or found that it should just be enjoyed once.
6.) These anime are fine- reputable yet imperfect and lacking in areas, but still worth a watch.
5.) Insignificant anime that are completely average, and/or forgettable. While it is redeemable by some means from 4-1 (or considerably 'bad') this may be the worst tier. My opinion is that you can be awful, shocking, and even laughable but anything is better than being unremarkable.
4.) This anime is, well, bad. It falls short and leaves the viewer feeling lost or confused. This tier is for the anime that I just didn't understand, or did understand but didn't find interesting or meaningful.
3.) Avoid this anime. There are very few redeeming aspects about it and the whole anime suffers from it. Frustrating and painstakingly regrettable.
2.) Notably flawed and offensive anime that are, at this point, unwatchable.
1.) This tier is reserved for the abysmal, wholly deficient atrocities of anime. Enraging.
hey, once again long time no talk lol, sorry about that.
after a year without really reading or watching anything i'm finally back in the groove.
plan on finally getting around to fire punch, i'll probably start it within the next week. i never noticed it was only around 80 chapters, should be a relatively quick read.
how have you been? what you been watching/reading?
hope all is well
