I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF OTAKU OR WEEABOO OR WHATEVER BUZZWORD IS THROWN AROUND THESE DAYS, NOR DO I ACT LIKE ONE. I WATCH ANIME TO PASS TIME AND IT DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND MY LIFE LIKE OTHER PEOPLE.
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM TREATING ME LIKE ONE.
I am a vigorous music fan, I enjoy soundtracks by all sorts of composers.
If you have a soundtrack that you like do not hesitate to link it to me.
Soundtrack connoisseurs rejoice.
I HATE NTR. ALL WORKS OF NTR SHOULD DISINTEGRATE IN A BURNING TRASHCAN.
Preferred Subbing group: FFF because of their high quality releases and acceptable translations.
I sometimes rate things very low depending on the grade chart below. If you feel like I rated something wrong, tell me and I will listen to your argument.
How I rate:
10 Absolutely Perfect- Since nothing is perfect I have a moral obligation to not use this score except if I am joking.
9 Usually reserved for something close to my heart.
8 Something that is VERY notable and scores pretty good in all categories.
7 Generic, but notable- Something that stands out of the usual meta and is worth a good watch.
6 Pretty generic, not likely to be remembered.
5 Like the above rating but leaves you with a feeling that something is missing.
4 Bad animation, bad writing, thinks that make you wonder why any effort was put into this at all.
3 Like the above with the qualities more prevalent than ever before.
2 Offensive material.
1 Extremely offensive material.
Categories for rating: Bold= Major category, Italic= Sub category
Writing-
-Plot - The score here is based on how well the story plays out.
-Backstory - I don't like to be left in the dark about what happened before hand, so this has it's own category.
-Tempo - If something feels too slow or too rushed then that has an impact on the overall score.
Animation-
-Picture Quality - Somewhat subjective, animation is constantly evolving from hand drawn to computer drawings to 3D CGI. If there are any weird moments where it looks like effort on the quality drops in some areas in contrast to the rest of the episode(s)/chapter(s) then this also has an effect on my rating.
-Camera Angles/Panning- Scenes with no movement or exaggerated movement hurt my eyes and impact the score I give.
Music (if applicable)- Music is very important, it sets the mood and has an effect on the writing. While also subjective there is a certain amount of effort one can do and one cannot do. I am biased towards famous composers.
-Opening Song- Sets the excitement for a new episode.
-Ending Song-Sets the feeling of conclusion when finishing an episode.
-Soundtrack- Sets the mood throughout the entire series.
Enjoyability- Rating for interest goes here. This score also shows my likelihood to re-watch/read an anime/manga again (though I rarely do) and my willingness to make the effort to torrent a new episode for 20 minutes or more and watch it for another 25 minutes.
