Casual anime watcher, full-time art student so I won't have too much time to focus on anime. I have other hobbies and interests but I would consider myself a weeb in the fact that I am in love with Japan, or the portrayals. I also love all those neko things, samurai fetish, cater to Japanesque fashion and am trying to learn the language as well as traditions. I would say despite seeing anime portrayals I have respect and genuinely like to indulge in Japan whether it be alike whats depicted or not. Maybe one day even move there and start an illustration career? Less of trying to be an ubuu-kawaii-waifu-girl, more genuinely enjoying the culture including Japan's pop culture.
I prefer anime with serious, well thought out plot & brilliant storytelling. I seek unique characters as we all know anime archetypes and the average tropes they fall into. Something to give me a 'wow' factor instead of going 'seen that, predictable'. Love comedy genres and fantasy, but overdone stories are hard to avoid. Action and shounen are also my preferred genres due to shoujou being very cringey. Horror, psychological and crime related genres intrigue me with how the plot will unfold, sometimes themes are too dark for my taste.
Lighthearted anime/manga is also something I prefer due to not having to invest too much time or emotion into it. Forgetting what happened 'last time' is a bummer but not if the stories are a feel good time filler.
In general, anime/manga is my escape to pass time & to see what other creators made. A sucker for good stories, hoping to see the anime industry grow to further recruit otaku.
I avoid cancerous fandoms, fanwars, shipwars, ecchi, loli/shota. Anime/manga for sense of wonder & inspo, if I wanted panty shots of teens I’d go to hentai.
Thanks for reading, may Japan keep producing their exquisite work!

Good Rating
10
Must watch, great story & animation, enjoyable, can rewatch, would recc.
9
Ticks all boxes, but story flawed. Plot holes, missing that 'wow' factor, just under full marks due to not being serious, if genre was serious -there are story flaws. Would recc, likely rewatch.
8
Likely recc, marked for anime that's popular among community but just enough to rewatch. Enjoyment's not as anticipated. Story can have plot holes, characters predictable.
7
Bare recc, can rewatch. Some enjoyment but no heavy impact or 'wow' factor. Might be underwhelming story/characters/animation. It's okay.
6
Unsure if worth recc. No particular qualities. Plain & barely makes you want to continue. Above 5/10 due to some factor that makes me want to finish. Unlikely rewatch unless no options/guilty pleasure.
5
Anime I haven't quit. Average story & plot, nothing impressive. No recc, mostly the thought 'why am I still watching this?' & want to quit. Usually finished but feel nothing. Unlikely rewatch.
Bad Rating
4
Anime wanted to quit midway. If below 5/10 its rare for me to continue. Bad plot, bearable characters, no enjoyment, sour taste & dissatisfaction after episodes. Won't mention unless criticising, can be popular amongst bandwagons. Won't rewatch.
3
If I haven't quit, I am now. Worthless of mention, waste of resources. Watched few & decided no point. Can be cancerous fanbase bandwagon, no character development/storyline. No rewatch value & entertainment.
2
Instant quit after 1 Ep. Not worth stay or recc, hate within few episodes/minutes in. Characters unlikeable, won't go back. Plot didn't grip me & bad development. Evokes disgust.
1
Burn it all. Who would even spend time watching? Useless characters, no plot, waste of time. Instant quit within a few minutes of viewing. Never recc, wish it was never made & churns active hatred.
