Trying to catch up with anime:

1. currently airing seasonals

2. modern classics (2000s onwards)

3. rewatching anime I watched in childhood as well as those anime that was shown on local TV but either I wasn't interested to watch back then or failed to watch

4. golden age (70s to 90s) anime that were not broadcast on local tv.

****************************************************

How I rate things. It's mostly if I enjoy it or not plus if I am impressed with a few technical stuff: story, animation, art direction, cinematography and editing, and any socio-political message either explicitly or subtext, or perhaps I love a certain character.

Note also that I don't rate anime based on certain rubrics such as this is 7/10 for animation, 6/10 for story then average all that. Based on my whim and my gut feel, I tend to weigh different criteria differently depending on the anime.

Thus, these numbers are ordinal numbers rather than cardinal numbers, i.e. I am rating each anime not only by itself but also in relation to other anime I rated thus far and, in the case of seasonal anime, how I rate or will rate other anime in the season.

10 = Critically acclaimed masterpiece that I also enjoyed or an anime I enjoyed so much and spoke to my deepest values that I choose to ignore perceived flaws

9 = really great and perhaps other people's 10 or critically acclaimed but did not win my heart as much as 10s

8 = very good or I would have rated a 7 but it has great visuals

7 = good

6 = slightly better than average; it's a decent score

5 = passing score; enjoyable to a certain extent and still worth watching despite defects or perhaps it should technically be higher but I did not like a thing or two such as the message

4 = can be enjoyed to some extent but the flaws are more glaring than those in my 5's

3 = liked by others and have some merits but did not click with me

2 = really bored; perhaps it didn't make sense even if there are fun elements

1 = objectively appalling and/or my subjective experience with it is so appalling


I'm strict with my ratings. If you're angry, it means I'm doing something right. If my scores hurt your feelings, please seek professional help. YOU need it.
