First of all, my ratings are based entirely off the amount of value I gain on average per unit of time, unadjusted for date created or genre preference. Also, if there are multiple seasons to an anime that fall under separate categories (Like Kara no Kyoukai or School Rumble), unless there are significant differences between the seasons (Such as spin-offs and the like), the score will represent the over-all average between all seasons and will placed on the first series. I've noticed I have a tendency for all my ratings to slowly converge to around a 6-7 as time passes, as I forget the good and bad parts that made me like or hate it, so my list is closer to being what I currently (Or when I last went through and updated my scores, I suppose) view each of the works enjoyment rating as being. Another important thing- even my 3's aren't 'Bad', so don't get offended if I gave something you enjoyed a low score, I probably still enjoyed it a bit.
The scoring I use is as follows, with some situations I value at the levels listed in the brackets, with the less-valued circumstances being first, and higher values at the end- take it with a grain of salt though, the main purpose of this site for me is to have a fairly reliable way of keeping an order of my favorites, so if I feel I have too many in a category I'll raise or lower some scores from time to time even if it's not necessarily accurate according to my scale:
1. Horrible- ranging from unimaginable pain up to just plain boring things; most will be somewhere near the high-end luckily [Hell, torture, being sick, laying down and being unable to sleep, watching sports and infomercials, the taste of fairly bland food]
2. Bad- barely even entertaining, it isn't able to catch my interest in the least. Better than absolutely nothing, but not by much. [Having 'small-talk' about weather and things, seeing a mediocre show I watched really recently, watching someone play a fairly boring game]
3. Inadequate- it'll pass the time, but not very enjoyably. [Watching crappy shows, the taste of good food, playing a sport I'm not interested in, taking a walk, warm showers/baths]
4. Mediocre- not too bad, it won't make a large impact on me, but it won't be an utter waste. [Working out at a gym, playing pretty bad games, reading internet articles, swimming alone]
5. Decent- getting to where it's actually enjoyable; this is an average activity- there's certainly better out there, but this is okay. [Doing usual things with friends, playing a pretty average game or one I've played a lot already, watching a good speed-run]
6. Good- it'll have its downsides, but overall is quite entertaining. [Listening to music I like, Rock-climbing, discussing things with average people]
7. Great- not much wrong with this; could even be something that just didn't appeal to me and others find amazing- I'd recommend it if the premise sounds interesting to you. [Playing fun games, participating in competitions]
8. Excellent- brilliant work; extremely fun, moving, or thought-provoking, but there might have been something dragging it down a bit for me (Perhaps focusing a bit too much on a character I wasn't very fond of or something similar). Definitely recommend it; this is really good.[Winning competitions]
9. Superb- watching this will make my month. This thoroughly satisfied me, with only fairly minor faults at worst. Great characters, great plot and pacing, and an interesting setting are sure to be had. [Really good discussions with intelligent people]
10. Simply amazing- the best of the best. At the very least, give this a try- just thinking about this show is enough to put me in a good mood. [Absolutely great games, shows, movies, and books that are unforgettable]
About me
The first anime I can recall watching was episode 8 of Pokemon when it was first airing in September of 1998; I thought it was pretty decent, but only watched if I happened to catch it on T.V. from time to time. About a year after that, I saw Dragonball Z and a few other shows on Toonami, and looked forward to seeing them every day after school. What got me into really liking anime would be Outlaw Star a few years later though; from then on I really looked forward to shows like InuYasha, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, .hack//SIGN, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun. Unfortunately, starting in around 2005, my family ran into a lot of financial trouble and we didn't have cable any more; I had previously played a lot of video games, but now it was more or less my only hobby. I began watching anime again in 2007 when video hosting sites started to get popular; when I have the money I plan on buying a large anime collection of all the series I've seen. I graduated from highschool in 2008, and have been enjoying free time with no obligations, and watch quite a bit of anime; it's quite nice, and am more happy now than I have been in my life- the only thing I really feel like I'm missing is a good woman to spend time with, but most the people I meet I don't care for being around (Though that doesn't mean there aren't those I could enjoy myself with, I've just never been able to feel like I'm part of a group and quite enjoy being by myself.)
As to other aspects of my life, I'd say my best quality is my mind; I'm extremely creative, intelligent, and perceptive- I have absolutely no trouble adapting to a situation, can become quite skilled at something in no time at all, and notice when something is wrong almost immediately. I am also a bit of a Philosopher, mainly focusing on Ethics and the purpose or meaning of Life, and have a pretty good theory on the workings of behavior in animals (Humans included).
I'm a very laid back person, though there are a few things someone can do that will make me actively seek to be apart from them; firstly, I do not interact with violent people, nor do I care for people who offer me 'favors' so they can hold it above me and attempt to make me feel like shit or have me do something for them (A trade is perfectly fine, but not holding me to some unagreed obligation because you offered me some minuscule help for something). Rejecting reality, and worse, preaching that one should reject reality, is sickening; I love life, and will not delude myself into believing fantasies- I am almost absolutely certain that every religion is false.
I'm very efficient with money, and could easily spend less than 2000$ a year and get by quite nicely if I don't have to pay rent somewhere and water and electricity are fairly cheap. I enjoy intelligent conversations with people, Anime, Video Games, hot Showers, and Swimming. Corpses disgust me, stickers annoy me for some reason, and I absolutely hate when people ignore me (It's pretty much been the main theme of my life; neither of my parents made even a half-hearted attempt to show affection for me as I grew up, in school the only attention I got from teachers is on the rare occasions I spoke that they'd single me out to tell me to be quiet even as others were happily conversing in other parts of the classroom, when a teacher asked for an answer to a question I'd give it but go unheard until I eventually stopped even trying (I had a fairly weak voice I suppose, I hardly recall talking throughout most of my life), no one in my family ever noticed when I was in a bad mood, no one ever asked how my day was, etc. etc. In 8th grade I met the first person who I'd say actually cared about me, and he's one of my few friends that I have to this day.).
I am an Anarchist (Anarcho-capitalist if you want to be specific, though that's the default position of Anarchy in my opinion), Vegetarian, and very Atheistic Agnostic (99.99% certain of Atheism, though some definitions of gods are within the realms of possibility so I can't say I'm absolutely sure they do not exist.). I do not believe that governments have any legitimate authority, and operate on violence and theft; I care more for most animals than I do most humans, and dead bodies gross me out really badly, so I do not eat meat; I do not believe in Santa Claus and find it hard to see how someone accepts a religion.
The main quality I look for in a woman is a brilliant mind; someone who can formulate their own ideas and beliefs and act as they see is fit, are able to deal with something if plans don't carry out as well as is hoped, and who stand up for themselves. While there is certainly nothing wrong with having sex, if someone's not a virgin I wouldn't be able to be with them; I'm very turned off when I know someone's been with other men (Though admittedly I wouldn't mind if they'd only had sex with women before; it's not a matter of 'moral superiority' or some such, it's simply a matter of what grosses me out and what doesn't). They would also need to be perceptive of my desires and care for me; I wouldn't be able to kiss someone if I knew they were just gnawing on a dead body a bit beforehand, so being a Vegetarian is pretty much necessary for me too, along with not supporting violence and would have to accept reality (I've dealt with too many people in my life who believe in fantasies and delusions; it's a pitiful state of life.). As long as someone is at least moderately attractive that'd be enough, but obviously the more attractive the better. Traits I generally find to be very attractive are:
Long and straight dark hair (The longer the better), with dark red being most preferred (Sucks that it's so rare).
A slender and at least somewhat athletic body; height's not important.
Really large breasts turn me off in general, though completely flat's not too appealing either, so something on the smaller side without being too small is best.
I really like green eyes, though it's really not important at all.
I don't really like 'cute' things in fashion, and prefer a more traditional feminine look; sleeveless black dresses, kimonos (Though I prefer ones with either 1-3 plain colors (Red and black is quite nice), or very intricate designs; not all are too great looking), and similar clothing are very attractive.
Of course, even someone completely outside these descriptions can be very attractive; this is more of an outline of what might be the most preferred look for a woman from my perspective, and am aware that it will likely be flawed for even that.
