Manga compatibility with GlennMagusHarvey is:

(last updated 28 Nov. 2010)
Possibly useful, likely useless information:
* My on-hold list is funny because it contains series that are on their way up as well as series that are on their way down. My plan-to-watch list includes things I plan on trying out and things I plan on seriously watching. Count both of these lists as my plan-to-watch lists.
* I watch dubs, as well as subs. I'm open to both. All other things being equal, I prefer a dub because I like the immersion and prefer sounds to text.
* I tend not to be up-to-date in my tastes and choices of things to watch.
* Yes, I watch animé on video sites.
** No, I'm not a graphics whore.
*** Actually, yes, I DO know when the resolution is too bad.
* I am generally not a shipper, so I generally have very little opinion on who to ship with whom. If anything, I tend to be more interested in how the relationships evolve.
* I go through series slowly. It's pretty useless to ask when I'll get through a certain thing on my plan-to-watch or on-hold list.
** But it is a nice conversation-starter so please feel free to do so.
At some point I'll probably refile my on-hold list into things I plan on seriously watching, and my plan-to-watch list into things I plan on trying out.

Animé not on this site that I've seen:
* Eagle Riders (many years ago) (used to be listed on MAL until I was stupid enough to bring up its existence to the staff)
* Random Star (a Youtube Poop of Lucky Star, seven episodes of 5-10 minutes each)
* The Broken Music Box (14 Jan 2010) (not listed on MAL because it's a doujin, apparently)
** Revision: It is now on MAL apparently because it will have a theatrical release.
* Voltron: I haven't actually seen any GoLion. I've seen episodes of Voltron: Defender of the Universe (adapted mostly from GoLion footage) and The New Adventures of Voltron (footage made by Toei specifically for WEP and the Voltron franchise). But unfortunately, MAL has removed the Voltron entry. As well as all the characters. Which sucks, frankly.
My rating system, which is designed to make use of more numbers and avoid the "Four Point Scale":
1 - so horrible that I don't ever want to have anything to do with it.
2 - just plain bad.
3 - bad. May have minor redeeming qualities.
4 - I disliked it and thought it was bad, but it has enough redeeming qualities to merit a mediocre-ish rating.
5 - mediocre. Neutral recommendation (neither positive nor negative).
6 - weak recommend, or recommend only to people with tastes specifically targeted by the series.
7 - general recommend, pretty good work, even if it may have some flaws.
8 - a solid work, with a strong general recommend.
9 - something that's really good, seriously standing out from the crowd.
10 - something that's so good it might be a pinnacle of animation. (nearly) flawless and (near-)perfect balance of its features, (almost) all of which are very strong.
The funny thing is that my top-rated series aren't necessarily my favorites, and my favorites aren't necessarily my top-rated series.

You've addressed many things I wanted to include in my review... but the effort required to bash something not even worth it? ....not feelin' it. XD
But yes, Jinki was a unique case of bad in where it wasn't laziness with conception or a lack of execution, it was just an ol' fashioned case of piss-poor management.
Good review; like to see your opinions on the overhyped.

It's okay. I don't really let things like that bother me.
If anything else, you can make up for it by telling another person about me... jk XD
Glad you enjoyed it. Crappy series, huh?

Well that's the problem with fanservice and in fact that's what I understand fanservice to be - that it is pointless to the plot and unnecessary!
I don't know I should perhaps watch the thing again I guess. I do remember however that there was some vague nudity in an ep. featuring a strong bionic female-wrestler who had some kind of stolen mechanics implanted inside her, which Lumière and Eclair had to retrieve for the mission. But I didn't make a big deal out of it, for me it was just some mild or partial nudity - nothing sexually suggestive or explicit in any way. Yeah maybe I've a low threshold after all.
At the moment for instance I'm watching Venus Versus Virus and one of its popular tags is 'Yuri' - I've yet to see any such action, and I've got only 4 ep left to watch! And I don't even think it will happen. Viewers' tagging on MAL is more random than one would think.

I kind of agree with the Hime thing especially when you say I quote " ...a lot of things seemed thrown together for drama's sake". I remembered that was exactly my thought at the time.
As for Kiddy Grade, to be honest, I'm dumbfounded, people keep talking about fanservice, panty shot etc - actually the thing is litterally tagged 'ecchi'!
I swear I just can't remember any panty shot at all!!! There may be a couple of explanations to account for this:
1) maybe I was distracted by the plot/action that I failed to notice any,
2) maybe my 'sex-notion' threshold is less sensitive than others, or
3) I watched a dubbed version - which could have been censored??
Thanks yeah N. year was ok - now its like everything is coming back to normal again-

Yes, that I am actually. I go a lot of places on the internet.

I wouldn't call Mai-Otome a fanservice thing, and wouldn't consider Mai-Hime either. But I guess it depends on personal taste. "Ah! My Buddha" is a prime example of obnoxious fanservice in my eyes, which is nothing compared with the 2 mentioned above. But like I say it depends on personal taste. All I can say is that I did like Mai-Otome slightly more than Mai-Hime.
Sorry for not answering earlier, I failed to notice there was a msg on my board. Hope u r enjoying the festive season.

hey man, I just finished yukikaze and saw you in the comments, not the show I generally watch at that, but anyway
I see we sort of share taste , so here's a couple of suggestions from most to least recommended:
Ergo Proxy-best futuristic show i've seen, didn't feel that way until halfway through the show, and still it's not of those where you're excited all the time like say Death Note, first half of it anyway
darker than black-first season is good, nvm the rest
baccano!-very creative, all around fun to watch
black lagoon-action show done right

Yes I wrote this yesterday!
Soukou No Strain
Mai-Otome
Murder Princess
All three have similar tone (action, futuristic, robotic, mecha etc) to Kiddy Grade and are totally underrated!

It seems I'm the wrong person to ask :D I assumed that if you and person X simply don't have enough anime/manga titles scored (whatever that minimum number might be) you'll get a N/A compatibility score. Never really looked into it past that, but you got me curious so I had a quick search on the forums...
I did find this thread interesting tho: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=5645 and the math made me head spin since it's never been my strong point >__>''' Also, this: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=160084&show=0#post4
Does that help? You could always do a search limited to the Support forums for "compatibility", I didn't get to read thru all the results. Sorry about the late reply, the huge moderating queue is eating most of my MAL time!

tbh I'm no longer satisfied with that sub. That was something like 9 months ago and I've improved considerably since. Too much of that was guesswork and there were several mistakes that aren't corrected on the YouTube version.

My linear value for 5.5 is e^0.5-1, or approximately 0.649. I simply divided every value by that number so that everything would be represented in terms of 5.5-Value Units™.
It is done that way for convenience and relatability, although I think it's more accurate that way, too, since I don't seem to get crazy as often as others do. Anyway, a normal distribution in terms of its statistical meaning is not the same as a normal vote distribution on MAL. For one thing, MAL cutting votes off at ten creates a lot of noise and an excess of votes at that level, when people would vote higher for some things if they could. They lack the restraint to treat any maximums as anything special, though, unlike me. But that's where normalization can help. AniDB to the rescue? :o
Anyway, "normal distribution, with scores clustered around the middle and high-scorers and low-scorers" easily describes my list, too. Your middle is farther from 5 or 5.5 than mine, though. You also have a tighter distribution than me. My normalization back to a normal voter's scale is only for comparison purposes, so you can't hold me accountable for the ways of typical tenspammers. ;p
