| thats the problem with this thread, anyone confident enough to be judged has well rounded taste, at least as far the animes they have seen already. although i did think giving DTB S2 a 2 was a bit harsh and not factoring in the things it did right, but whatever, nitpicks right? |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |
| Everyone has had criticism offered to them, so the thread has served a purpose. (Besides, confidence can sometimes mean cockiness.) I've learned quite a bit from the advice given to others. I especially enjoyed reading different perspectives on MAL's scoring system and the worth of Elfen Lied, Gurren Lagann, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes (the last of which I now feel motivated to watch). I...don't feel worthy of judging anyone's tastes, though. :s So my post isn't deviating from the original topic, everyone's free to, erm, judge me, too. D: |

D: when did someone educate you about the merit of Elfen Lied? i'd like to look at that. i would argue for that show any day, but most critically-minded people tend to shit on it. by the way, i glanced at your profile and saw that your number 1 anime is Blood +. please explain that to me because i finished that show recently and took a break from anime because i thought it was so wretched and devoid of substance that I kind of hate myself for finishing it. it's surprising to me that anyone would hold that show in high esteem, particularly someone with otherwise good taste such as yourself. |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |
| So... What about my taste? I wanna join the fun. |
| you haven't seen that much so it's hard to say. but i'd say you're on the right track so far when it comes to modern anime. hell, we have a 91% compat. rating, probably highest i've ever seen so i can't really criticize. |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |
| Completed: 27 Dropped: 19 do you even anime? |
 |
| I really don't watch too much anime, I'm more into manga. I have so many dropped animes because I'm tryingto follow the new seasons. Wow, a 91% compatibility, not sure if we both have a good taste or a shitty taste... |
FrancWyvern said: I really don't watch too much anime, I'm more into manga. Wow, a 91% compatibility, not sure if we both have a good taste or a shitty taste... it's because i've seen the same anime as you; we both enjoy modern anime of a darker nature. |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |
FrancWyvern said: Wow, a 91% compatibility, not sure if we both have a good taste or a shitty taste... It's usually easier to have high compatibility when you share low number of anime. |
 |
| @FrancWyvern Your anime taste seems alright. The Tatami Galaxy got a 10 so I approve. Just watch more. Like, a lot more. Also, I approve of your taste in manga. Vinland Saga and Oyasumi Punpun. Two great manga titles. @keirapop I'm split. You've finished K-ON! but not Princess Tutu or The Tatami Galaxy. As well as scoring 5 centimeters per second and Durarara!! over Tsumiki no Ie. Well. If you could justify why you did these things, then maybe my qualms would settle down. But it just doesn't seem right to me. Now excuse me as I watch more anime to make myself look more credible. |

Really I don't expect everyone to like LoGH, it's a misconception when people praise it as the best thing ever that you must enjoy it. I honestly don't care as long as they don't say it's complete shit (in a more critical stance). |

metamorphius said: Oh, you mean LOGH? Who cares, you didn't rate it, thus its score won't be affected, so it's your loss only. When you put it that way, that does make sense. This is why I don't believe in rating anime I drop. I'm sure I am missing out on a grand anime though; I'll give it a shot later in the future. SSC_Exin said: Yeah, it's not shit by any means. I just can't tolerate that much of a long build up and the long episode count intimidates me to find other shorter lengthed anime for the time being. |

SSC_Exin said: Really I don't expect everyone to like LoGH, it's a misconception when people praise it as the best thing ever that you must enjoy it. I very much agree. I do think LOGH belongs to the very best anime has to offer, but to say everyone must love it is silly. I read Tavor's comment on LOGH in his list and I am perfectly fine with his opinion. SSC_Exin said: I honestly don't care as long as they don't say it's complete shit (in a more critical stance). Oh, I just ignore such comments, because they're either troll attempts or uneducated ramblings. But, I've got my LOGH pet peeve too. It's when people go around saying how it is so old the animation looks unappealing, thus it must be boring and crappy. Dear assumptionist, your grandmother may be old and look unappealing, but she still may have quite a bit of wisdom to share. |

Truth_Seeker said: Please rate my taste in anime if you'd like to. Your scores are rather high. On the other hand, you seem to have watched mostly good stuff, but there are a lot of anime I wouldn't rate nearly as highly as you did. |
Truth_Seeker said: Please rate my taste in anime if you'd like to. Well, for starters, you rate on a 7-10 scale. Use the full spectrum- There are 10 scores you can use, not just those three. The most glaring rating on your list is that 8 on Mirai Nikki. There are plenty of series on our relations that are just mediocre and I can get why people might, at first glance, think they are good, but not Mirai Nikki. It is genuinely BAD. But I would like to hear your thoughts on the show and why you would give it an 8. Other than that, you just haven't seen a lot of stuff. |
Truth_Seeker said: I most likely have to do a lot of re-watching. I've only been into anime for about one year and I was very inexperienced when it came to judging a series. I'm curious as to which series you thought I rated too high(Most likely Deadman Wonderland, Mirai Nikki, Kuroshisuji, and Toradora). I'm interested in discussing them if you don't mind. I haven't seen Deadman Wonderland, and I have my own issues with Toradora! that aren't necessarily critically relevant. It's Mirai Nikki and Kuroshitsuji, and to a lesser extent, Angel Beats! and Durarara!!. I'd be glad to hear what you have to say. |
| I didn't dislike Durarara!!, but I was left a little unsatisfied. Baccano! is certainly the better series. If you're interested, you might want to weigh in on our Evangelion discussion (read: war). |
| Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. And I'm wondering, has it been a while since you've seen Digimon Tamers? I probably overrate it, but I think I could make a decent argument for its legitimate quality. Speaking of which, I should also probably submit to tribunal. |
Truth_Seeker said: Please rate my taste in anime if you'd like to. You score too high but other than that you're on the right track. Just browse through our Enlightenment list and you'll be on your way. Though, unless you can state why, your scores for Haruhi and C are too high (especially for C). |
| The art for C was also obtrusive. It was a bit painful to look at. I actually really liked TMoHS; at least the Melancholy arc. It was really meant to be a romance anime, but that was tossed aside after the arc. What a shame. The entire series still needs one more season to really wrap things up. |
| I am also curious about what this club thinks of my tastes, if anyone would like to rate them. |
| No signature to see here~ |
GoldenBRS said: rate my taste You rate a few shows too high. Clannad Afterstory is way too high. It had a few things going for it, but the restart ending ruined any chances of it being a "great" series. I don't get why the Tomoyo chapter got a 10. . . Don't try to explain it to me. Your words will be lost on me. Also, you dropped TTGL and Inferno Cop but kept Bleach? Blasphemer. Watch more from the Enlightenment list. |
GoldenBRS said: rate my taste With only 77 completed it's obvious that your taste can't be really refined. Combined with the age your favorites are all predictable and generic. Not your fault, just an observation. You rate too high in general but I did that in the beginning as well. MAL says we got 80.2% but I doubt that we would agree on many shows regarding quality and value. The Clannad issue was pointed out already but your ratings seem only subjective in general.To recognise flaws while enjoying a show is always a decent goal. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy it because it got some flaws it just ain't perfect. Even I probably rated AS too highly on my list because of the tear factor and the time that pasted since I watched it...but anyway...back on track. There's 2 10's in your list that I would accept with Knk:5 and the Haruhi movie but that's about it. You should aim to define a mostly objective rating system that allows you to use the full scale. Of course subjective impression always is part of this but try to reduce it. If you get around to 200 completed shows and various genres that you watched, you should get a better grasp of what actually has quality or the shows that just blind with fun on the surface with many flaws and uncreative content. A start would be to finish GitS:SaC and Higurashi. |

| I would like to know what you guys think of my tastes. |
| Rate my tastes. |
Matthew-san said: I don't really understand how you're rating the Ghibli stuff, since you gave a 10 to Chihiro, Hotaru no Haka and Mononoke Hime. Are those three on the same level in your opinion ? I really think Hotaru is far behind those two. Then you put Kurenai really lower, on the same level as Ano Hi Mita Hana ... why ?I would like to know what you guys think of my tastes. Also i have a question for all of you since that's not the first time i see someone rating Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu really, really higher than the show itself. I have not seen the movie yet, is it really that better ? Then for the rest of your list: everything looks fine Matthew. You dropped HOTD at ep2, you did not even wait for the fanservice to come up, what a monk ... :p SaekoBusu said: You change your list settings right ? This is nice i like it. But you know that dotted line which appears when you hover a title, wouldn't it be better if it appeared on the bottom AND top border of the row ?Rate my tastes. Hoshi no Koe, i need to see this, but i hated The Place Promised ... so i'm a bit scared! I will wait and try Perfect blue meanwhile, seems safer! You punished Death Note, why is that ? I know it's hype but it's a good show in the end. Glad to see i'm not the only one to think Madoka is not that big. Then i don't know since i didn't yet watched most of your top ratings, except Lain which i think is really overrated. Rest seems legit, although you have Mushishi on Hold ... how can you HOLD IT? |

Sh0wdown said: Yes. It's actually quite good. But I feel one has to watch the series first to fully appreciate it.Also i have a question for all of you since that's not the first time i see someone rating Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu really, really higher than the show itself. I have not seen the movie yet, is it really that better ? |
 |
| I watched Shoushitsu after the first season without having watched the second season. I still fully enjoyed it although it is probably better to watch both before |

You dropped HOTD at ep2, you did not even wait for the fanservice to come up, what a monk ... :p Oh yeah! Incredibly better, absurdly better. I really recommend that anyone watches it. Thought you have to at least seen all the plot episodes of Haruhi (Things like the baseball, videogame or island episode aren't necessary.) I put Kurenai no Buta on the same level as Ano Hana because honestly...I didn't see anything that special in the story, characters or even the direction. I think it's a tad overrated IMO. |
| So, how's my taste? |
