I plan to review all my completed watches one day, but as a baseline, here are the parameters of my number ratings, mostly prioritizing subjection over objection.
☆10 - These few animes are ones that are not only perfect in many ways, but have resonated with me in such a way that inspired lasting profound feeling, or legitimately changed me as a person. I have strong individual passion for these animes.
☆9 - There are many aspects of this anime that I confidently interpret as perfect, or narratively significant enough to achieve such a rating. This is entering fandom territory for me. I have passion for these animes, but not quite to the level of 10.
☆8 - Entering "extremely memorable" territory, These animes do at least one thing perfectly while also having other strong suits, being a compelling watch all the way through with very consistent excellence in either writing or animation . Although it is amazing in one area, it may be lacking in others, or is not up to par with those in 9 or 10.
☆7 - These animes are good, but had potential to be greater, whether it would be because of it's premise, characters, animation, music or writing - but didn't deliver as well as it could have, or may not be as consistent in that excellence throughout the series as those in higher ratings. It was "good most of the time", but there were times where it dragged or felt repetitive.
☆6 - These animes had moments where it was good, but felt like a bit of a slog to get to those moments. Similar to 7, these animes had potential to be better, but had even less consistent interest.
☆5 - These animes are truly indifferent to me. I felt nothing watching them, not good or bad enough to invoke feeling or much thought. I can see why people may like it, but it isn't my thing.
☆4 - Similar to 5, these animes are mostly indifferent to me, the difference being I /can't/ see why people may like it. I don't see any redeeming qualities, but it isn't /annoying or offensive/ I guess.
☆3 - These animes feel foolishly written or have truly bad animation/music. I felt noticeably annoyed watching this but was able to push through.
☆2 - Getting to dropped territory, I probably physically wasn't able to finish this anime because it was so bad that I couldn't stomach it.
☆1 - Almost immediately identified this as something I hated profusely.

Yo! Relatively new fan of anime - To tell you the truth, I had only watched DBZ, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon until very recently. I was very indifferent to anime before my friend introduced me to Naruto on a dry 2024 day (damn you alex)
Since then, I have watched quite a bit of anime, and now have a very strong, possibly autistic fascination with the idea of watching hundreds of series and tracking them here, ranking and reviewing them as I go. Come to think of it, I think I just have a strong interest in finding good obscure media in general, as I've always had this similar fascination with games/shows/movies/etc.. Like a media explorer/archaeologist? I dunno :)
One of my earliest childhood hobbies was creative writing (I'm responsible for a writing club existing in my highschool!.. and I was the only one that went ;v;) maybe I'll publish my own story one day. :)
Needless to say, I'm really interested in animes with awesome stories I can really pick apart in my head. I love analyzing the writing of characters and stories, and I love good world-building!
As someone that's always been enthralled by psychology and philosophy alike, I adore animes that explore deep emotions, motives and conflicts.
Though, as you can see by my favorite animes below, I'm not one to stray from the standard hopecore animes! As a matter of fact, I love them!
..I'm also a dirty power-scaler. Sorry!
My other unrelated hobbies include walking, fitness, gardening, drawing and video-games!
I have hundreds of detailed game reviews on my Steam profile to scratch that writing itch of mine, hahah.
Anywho! Do reach out if you have any recommendations for me! I'd love to make more friends in the anime scene. :)
