Likes & Dislikes
There's a variety of anime I tend to gravitate towards, and some I tend to stay far away from. To give you an idea of my general taste in anime, here's a list of genres, themes, & formats I like as well as ones I dislike




Ratings
When rating something, or writing a review, I consider many points...

Concerning Art:
- Art Style
- Animation Quality
- Character Design (visual)

Concerning Story:
- How well are the characters written?
- If the show has character development, how well do they develop their characters?
- How interesting is the story or it's themes?
- How well are plot points or the show's theme conveyed to the viewer?
(note: I don't hold it against a show for not having thematic elements or character development, but I do consider them if they are present within a show.)

Concerning Audio:
- The soundtrack
- The voice acting
- The sound effects

Of course, some of those parts have more weight to them than others, and some may be more important or less important depending on what the show is trying to accomplish.
However, my final rating is ultimately determined by how much I enjoyed the sum of all those parts.

To help people understand the scores I give, here are some general definitions for what my ratings typically mean:



NOTE: My "On Hold" list consists of shows that I plan to go back to, continuing from where I left off. My "Dropped" list consists of shows I either have absolutely no plans to go back to or shows I don't have any current plans to go back to. Basically, just because it's dropped doesn't necessarily mean I'll never pick it up again, just that if I do start watching it again, I intend to restart it from the beginning.
