My motto is 'If it's interesting I'll watch it. No matter what it is'.
Just in case anyone's actually interested, there's no real reason to check out my manga list. I update it maybe twice a year, and even then it's highly inaccurate.
As far as my scoring goes
10: there is really no set rule here. It just has to be something that touched me on a personal level to the point where it doesn't really matter what the faults were. Some of them are just pure exemplars of their genre.
9-8: Just couldn't get their hooks in me 100%. There was some small thing about it that just didn't sit well with me or I thought could have been handled better. I'll still watch these over and over.
7: My middle ground. An enjoyable watch, but not anything I really would trumpet about from a pedestal or anything. Pretty much the cutoff point when it comes to recommendations to personal friends or re-watches, but there's always exceptions, one way or another.
6-5: There were a lot of issues I had with the show, but there was still something that kept me interested or was original. Usually something about it suffers greatly to me, as in: characters, plot, animation, continuity, or believability.
4-1: A failing grade. They contain elements that just didn't live up to any potential they had, or rubbed me the wrong way regardless of their intention. The rest are usually universally reviled, so there's that too. I'd like to think I have a good reason for scoring this low. I generally have a hard time figuring out what exactly these different numerical scores mean to me.
My despised characters:
- Meleagros - Heroic Age
- Bitch - Haganai
- Lief - Deltora Quest
- Porky-yuki - Accel World
- Everyone, but mostly Ataru - Urusei Yatsura
- Jigoro - Yawara
- Kio - Gundam Age
- Danichirou - Sankarea
- Saito - Zero no Tsukaima
- Ribbons - Gundam 00

Oh, regarding Crime Edge, while I'm not generally all that sensitive to such things (unless it's glaringly obvious), I think episode 3 did fairly well animation wise. And it was a very interesting episode.

That's the part where Gluttony, who has Ed, Ling Yao and Envy in his 'stomach', leads Al to 'Father', Ed manages to break himself, Ling and Envy out of Gluttony, meeting 'Father' in the process, Things start to click into place for Ed and Al, and for some reasons 'Father' decides Ling might be a good host for Greed, and Ling embraces the idea (for reasons of his own). Just then Scar and May Chang show up, and a sort of three way fight breaks out, though Ed and Al get sidelined because 'Father' disabled their alchemy.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Episode 28 - I had to watch that episode twice. That was kinda awesome.

By the way, Red Data Girl gets substantially better after episode 1.

Actually, I watched the first episode of Hataraku Maou-sama last week.
However, I'm not really interesting in Shingeki Kyojin. Sorry.

Really? I wouldn't think that would be something easily converted to an anime.

Glad to see you're finding something from the Spring season to watch!
I liked what I saw of Suisei no Gargantia. In particular I liked that Redo, untrained for 'first contact' scenarios, treated the people he met on Earth as possible enemies.
I found Leviathan humourous and easy to watch. I only wish we knew how they fared in that bar fight ;)
Nyaruko-san had me laughing out loud, as always.

Zettai Bouei Leviathan episode 1 - that was unexpectedly fun to watch.

Majestic Prince - well, not a fan of the character designs, but the overall animation was good and the action cool to watch. And I instantly took a liking to those five misfits as soon as I watched them get cleaned in that mock battle. A military officer I once knew and respected said often the misfits make the best soldiers. Still, seemed sort of cheesy that those 5 could see off the enemy fleet that was kicking the shit out of an entire human fleet of 'conventional' forces. Hopefully there will be a bit of an explanation as to 'why' that was the case.

Wow. The first episode of Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge blew me away. I'm not just hooked, I've swallowed the hook.

I was eyeballing Majestic Prince last night when it popped up on AnimeUltima - I'm a little reluctant because I'm not much of a mecha fan, it's a high school setting, and I was burned with how bad Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse turned out. I'll give it a try, however.
Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge - oh, now THAT looks interesting. I just found the first episode - be back in a little while :)

"That scene where Dianeira warp jumps in front of her brothers after they were rescued from null space and she had the bronze tribe in tow."
Great Warriors conquer nations, Great Leaders create nations.

Oh, and I noticed you an I settled on the same final score Zetsuen no Tempest, and from our conversation apparently for much the same reasons.
An interesting idea for a sequel would be for a story set 10 or so years in the future where Mahiro and some (but not all) of the others get involved in following up on that alien organism idea.

I liked Heroic Age a lot. I'm generally not big on Save the Universe type plots, but here it was laid out well, the major parties had well developed motivations for what they were doing, and the important characters all developed well. Also, they didn't let the nodos battles become an excuse to skimp on the more mundane ship to ship/mecha/bug/whatever battles which I greatly appreciated.
I was most impressed with Mehelim - very few men could become fanatically loyal to the man who stole the heart of the woman they liked and the show's writers could easily have made him part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

To me it appears that Dhianeila left with Age for the other side. Is that your take?
And those damned brothers of hers somehow managed to survive. Is there NO justice in the multiverse?!
