General Optimization For The Internet
Anime Relations: Gintama
ASC
As a general recommendation for overall performance enhancement, I'd recommend Advanced SystemCare Pro. It's incredibly easy to use after the first time configuration, all you have to do is click the scan and repair button. I'd also suggest using the defrag found in the toolbox section, it does a more thorough job than the regular defrag and it has the option to optimize your files as well.
Browsing
If you have a good amount of ram on your computer (or don't use that much memory at all) and use a 64-bit OS, I'd recommend using a 64-bit browser like Waterfox (unless you prefer using Chrome, but I like Firefox more). It allows you to use more ram than a 32-bit version and has better performance overall. Also, be sure to clear out your browser history every once in a while too, that can lead to some heavy performance losses if you let it build up for a while.
System
Be sure to maintain as much free space on your hard drive as possible as it will help to run it more efficiently. You can do this by keeping large files on another hard drive (it's well worth owning an external). You can also try removing extra programs that you don't really use. There'll be times where program installers will contain bloatware that can be mistakenly installed on your computer, and you'll want to keep an eye out for those. Ideally, you'll want as few programs installed on your computer as possible. Also, check to see if you have any programs that start automatically on login. They can slow down windows startup and continue to take up memory in the background until you manually disable them.
How To
Run Advanced SystemCare Pro:
It's pretty straightforward. Just run the installer and follow the steps. Don't forget to look through the toolbox section to see if there's anything else you can use.
Check If You Have A 64-bit OS:
Click the start menu button, type in "system" in the search box, open it up from the programs list, and look at system type.
Clear Browser History:
Open the drop down menu in the top left corner, select options, click "clear your recent history", select everything (I prefer leaving site preferences though), and hit the clear button. You'll have to re-log into most of your online accounts after this.
Remove Programs:
Click the start menu button, open up your control panel, and select "uninstall a program" at the lower left-hand side of the menu.
Keep Programs From Running On Windows Startup:
The best method would be to open up the program in question and disable the option to run on startup from there. But for programs that don't have the option available, you'll want to go into your system configuration. Click the start menu button, type "msconfig" in the search box, go to the startup tab, and uncheck everything you don't want to run on startup. It's generally best to leave programs such as your antivirus checked as well as whatever else you system requires to run properly.
Hope this guide has helped. I will likely add more on to this, but I sorta threw everything together randomly. Let me know if you need any kind of help or want to make a suggestion. I'd prefer any discussion related to this entry to be done here rather than PMs and my profile comments so that others would be able to learn from it as well.

Deciding What To Watch Before It Airs
Anime Relations: Gintama
After going through so many seasons of watching airing anime, I've finally worked out a method that I can have a lot of confidence in. I've used methods similar to this beforehand, but this time I'm being very thorough with my pre-season choices. So here's a general layout of my overall evaluation.
(Will be updated once more information is available)
How I evaluate these stats
How I manage my points is entirely up to my tastes. If my general line of thinking doesn't line up well with yours, you may find it a lot more beneficial to use this system yourself. But I will definitely go into more detail on how I work this out so that you get a good idea on what you want to look out for.
Director
This is definitely what you want to look out for the most. The director of the anime will practically be the determining factor on what makes an anime good, mediocre, and bad. Now, there can always be other factors that weigh heavily on the success of the anime, but the director will be the one with the greatest impact. What the director basically does is he/she puts the events into motion, guides the voice actors so that they fit the situation, and adds emphasis to the overall tone of each scene. Whether it's for a sad scene, a calm scene, or an exciting scene, the level of impact they have on the viewers primarily depends on the director's ability.
Series Composition
This is the 2nd most important aspect of how an anime will turn out. The staff member in charge of series composition will determine the anime's storyline and plot. A lot of people like to assume that a bad storyline or a poorly written scenario is the fault of the director, but they are heavily mistaken. If there is any fault with the pacing, plot, or characterization, this is the person you want to blame. Now, a good director can easily overcome these faults and still make it fun to watch (in anime such as Guilty Crown or Code Geass), but that issue can possibly bog down the enjoyment for the critics who value good writing.
Original Writer
Now, this area can be a little iffy when it comes to pre-evaluation. The only way you can get a clear idea is if the original writer has written something popular in the past, or something that you, yourself, have read. However, if the writer has only written one story, and it's something that you don't know a lot about, it can be a difficult call. And, assuming that it's even good at all, let's not forget that it is still going to go through the adaption process. There's still that chance that it will not be faithful to the source material. Even though it's not a good route to go down, and a lot of producers nowadays prefer to keep it safe and stick to the source, there will come a time when the staff decide to deviate from this choice and make the story into something else. And if it does attempt to stay faithful, there's still a chance that it will lose quality. But if there's more than enough quality in the source material, then it can still turn out to be a great watch as an anime even if it loses quality.
Seiyuu
A good voice actor alone may not be enough to save the show, but they can still add some degree of fun depending on their talents. Some well delivered lines can still have a great impact even if the rest of the content sucks, and they can do even better when combined with a superior anime. They can be especially vital when it comes to comedy anime. And you certainly don't want to experience any kind of loss if you run into some bad voice actors either. So I will say that this stat is definitely worthy of being evaluated when deciding on what anime to watch.
PV
When it comes to the above mentioned attributes, I'd have to say that this is very minor. I use these mainly because I can generally get a good guess from the PVs of anime. I know that this is mostly luck based and it's hard to give it a concrete analysis, but most of the time I am right on the money when it comes to my hunch. I'd have to say that about 70% of the anime PVs I've come across have lined up well within my expectations and therefore I have decided to include them in my evaluation. With that said, I still only consider it minor since it is not entirely accurate.
Premise
Judging an anime by its premise can almost as much of a coin toss as judging it by the PV. But it still be used to determine whether or not the anime will be right for you. Now, while a mediocre premise still has the opportunity to be great, an interesting premise can do more to preset your thought patterns into something that is more desirable for your experience. But again, that really depends on how well you can base your judgements off of little information.
Music
As you may have noticed, I do not include this stat at all in my analysis. This is because I am usually unaffected by the quality and handling of the soundtrack. If the director is good enough, then I'll likely have the mood set properly for my enjoyment. If the OP/ED aren't up to par with my preferences, then I simply just skip it. BGMs have so little effect on me that they could practically throw out anything (as long as it isn't too noticeable... *cough* Magi) and it would be perfectly fine with me. Even the music handling in Little Busters didn't bother me as much as it did for most others. But still, this is out of preference, if you prefer superior sound quality during your watch, I would say that the level of importance is just below seiyuu and higher than PV.
What you don't want to look at
There are factors that could possibly be used in evaluation, but often times they can be very misleading or lack any kind of of consistency.
Production Studio
Out of all the misconceptions that can be made about an anime before it airs, this is probably the biggest. Just because a studio such as A-1 performed a disastrous job on SAO, Magi, and Ao no Exorcist doesn't mean that they will suck at everything else. At the same time, you can't always expect KyoAni to deliver something great either. What determines the quality of an anime isn't the studio behind it, but the staff in charge of the project. If you take the above stats into consideration, you'd realize that any production studio has just as much of a chance of producing something good/bad as any other. So, needless to say, this is something you definitely want to keep out of your criteria when considering what to watch. Now, I won't say to avoid the method entirely, some production studios can be really fun to follow at time. I'll almost always follow an anime done by Sunrise, J.C. Staff, and White Fox, but I still won't expect them to do any more than the competition unless I have something more concrete to go off of.
Visuals
This one can be a little challenging to avoid depending on how much you're attracted to anime style art. I can definitely say that I am very guilty of judging an anime by how it looks, and I've even avoided them as a result. But nice looking effects and steady animation can only do so much before it starts to lose its charm after an episode or two (like P.A. Works anime). They can definitely be used to add emphasis to a given scene, but it still falls on the direction and series composition to make it anything worthwhile, and therefore should not be used as a method of evaluation.
General Opinion
There will be times where you come across a forum, blog, chatroom, etc. and they all start throwing out their rants or rave on a particular series that is about to come out. Well, the best advice I can give you is to mostly ignore them. Now, there might be some source material readers that could be worth listening too (and possibly used as a means to give a pre-evaluation score on the source material), but if their just throwing out an opinion with little to back it up, it's better to take their words with a grain of sand. But if there's any kind of objective statements made about the source material, and it sounds like it fits the description, then you'll definitely want to take notes from them. But even then, just because they state something that is very true about the source material, you'll still want to integrate the information with your personal logic to determine whether or not it will be detrimental or supplemental to your enjoyment. Let's take Mushishi as an example. Sure, it may be regarded as a masterpiece to many, and I've read a good number of reviews, but I failed to use my better judgement and ended up watching something I didn't like. But yeah, objective facts are definitely a lot better to go off of than general opinion. And don't think that applies to just MAL, there are several other community sites that can be just as bad, if not worse, as this. Let's take Crymore as an example.
Misc.
More helpful information.
Sequels
It's pretty easy to guess whether or not a sequel is worth watching. Also, I will not including any sequels in my regular evaluation. I simply go off whether I liked the last season enough to continue it. The only sequels I'd be wary of are the ones that take place 4 or more years after the last. I tend to have really bad luck with those (namely SnS Final and Eureka Seven AO).
How I plan out my seasonal queue
I typically don't start planning for next season until a chart from Neregate is made. I then start typing in the titles on search until I find the entry for it on MAL. I then proceed to the staff section, start bringing up their individual pages, and rate them based on the work they have done. If I'm missing information like series composition, voice actors, and PVs, then I'll try out other sites like AniDB, ANN, or Youtube. I'll also use sites like Fansubdb to find out which fansub groups are doing what, and what channel the anime airs on.
Grading scales
As you can probably tell, I apply a certain amount of scaling to each stat I give. The highest score a director can get is 10. This score is reflected by the level of competence displayed from the director. The same thing applies to series composition, but only goes up to a score of 7. Original writer scores will max out at 5. The score will be reflected by the level of skill displayed in previous works, and how generally popular these works are. The maximum score for seiyuus will also be 5. This score reflects the number of good seiyuus as well as their individual quality. If there aren't any good voice actors for that anime, the end result will be a 0. PV scores will max out at 3. It will be scored based on how flashy it is, and what kind of vibes I get from it. Premise scores will also max out at 3 and are scored based off how interesting it is. Can result in 0 if it isn't interesting at all.

.hack//Blog
Anime Relations: .hack//Sign, .hack//Legend of the Twilight, .hack//Liminality, .hack//Gift, .hack//Roots, .hack//Intermezzo, .hack//Unison, .hack//Legend of the Twilight Offline Meeting Special, .hack//G.U. Returner, .hack//G.U. Trilogy, .hack//G.U. Trilogy: Parody Mode, .hack//Quantum, .hack//Quantum Specials, .hack//The Movie: Sekai no Mukou ni, .hack//Versus: The Thanatos Report
It's been almost 10 years since my introduction to the .hack universe when Sign first aired on American television. My love for the series has yet to die out even after all this. While it may not appear as such based on my scores for the anime, it will remain as one of the most memorable series I have watched. The greatness of the soundtrack in the anime, the miraculous feels in the GU games, and the amazing plot in the novel (which I have just recently picked up) have made this an experience that I will treasure throughout the ages.
I haven't been following this myself, but I'll make it my goal in life to eventually complete the entire thing in the right order.
Timeline: AI Buster > Sign > Liminality > IMOQ > Roots > G.U > Returner > Quantum > Link > Sekai no Mukou ni
Notes: This timeline may not be entirely accurate. Every link I've ever searched on google has given a varied answer on what the proper order is. There are some that will recommend Legend of the Twilight after IMOQ and before Roots, but I have decided to leave it out of my recommended order. I know from personal experience that it does not offer anything meaningful to the plot and is mostly non-canon, so I'll be leaving it out. There was also a site that suggested the .hack//Zero novel after Sign and before IMOQ, but it has not yet been translated into English so I will leave that out as well. I will eventually go through everything in the .hack series that has been localized. I'll try to use my best judgement to figure out a proper timeline and update the one I have here once I have done so. But for now, this is the most viable order I can come up with.
Here's a small, random assortment of OSTs I have come across during my trip down nostalgia road. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Anime Relations: Gintama
Club Cards/Badges
My pride and joy collection. I've organized my cards alphabetically. Take a look when you have the chance. :D If you know any active card clubs that you don't see here on this list, I would greatly appreciate an invite. ^^
For those wondering about the "Omitted Club": I will no longer be supporting that club by including club links in my profile or displaying any of their works in my albums. Since my first album is locked in, I have decided to use place markers for the cards that have been removed. The cards in my active album have been removed. I will not say which club it is as I do not believe in blacklisting.
Card Club Rankings Will Be Discontinued
It might have been a little obvious for a while, but I won't be using the ranking system anymore. I will also not be organizing these cards anymore, not only is it a huge headache to do in Photobucket, but I just don't have enough time with all the stuff I'm doing now. For now I will just be taking the cards and throwing them in the album. Since I've decided on doing that, I will discontinue the V2 album and start a fresh new one without the ranking system utilized.
