-Obscure Rating Tier-
[10] Tier 1: Perfect execution, Thought provoking, depression after completion
[9] Brilliant: In depth story, entertaining throughout without fail. Very few flaws
[8] Stunning: Actual enjoyment, great story, but missing the spice to be considered perfect.
[7] Great: Satisfying entertainment, better than most but not breathtaking amazing. Definitely recommended. Rewatchable for sure.
[6] Fine: Decent, not as good as expected but still a memorable/likeable show. Unfortunately flawed.
[5] Sub par: Nothing original, watchable but not memorable to be taken seriously. Still a good show nonetheless.
[4] Bad: Inconsistent, hard to focus throughout, boring
[3] God awful: Just plain terrible
[2] Laughable: Why was it even fabricated
[1] Inconceivable: Words cannot explain
Hey what character is that from Ergo Proxy on your sig? I watched the anime years ago and it remains one of my top 5. I forgot which character that is though.
Savor Pino. She's a jem, not many little girls like her :d
I see. I can understand your point of view of why you liked AS more than the first season. I didn't think Clannad was a great show, but most of the characters were charming enough to make it entertaining than most high school comedy shows. After Story on the other hand was just trying to hard to become a melodramatic romantic series that just became more eye rolling as it went on. Although I did love the relationship between Tomoya and Ushio, I thought Nagisa was such a bore throughout the entire show. So I guess that's my reason for my low score on AS.
I want to finish it so bad but I've been busy with school and there are so many games I want to finish off of my backlog. Eventually I'll be able to finish it when the time comes. But I know lots of people who loved the movie and hated the shows for some reason.
Here's my question: Why did you give Clannad a 5 but you gave After Story a 9? And you gave Tomoyo an 8 but Kyou a 5?
I know that feeling, I failed my Literature midterm not too long ago. XP
Well the only shows that the scores are more far apart are:
Another, Binbougami Ga, Boku wa Tomodachi, Clannad After Story, Deadman Wonderland, Elfen Lied (Fuck that show so fucking hard), Kamisama no Memochou, Memories, Monoke (Seriously a 4?), Oda Nobuna no Yabou, and Serial Experiments Lain.
So yeah we don't have the same tastes. XD If you want to discuss any in particular I'm always here to listen. :)

Wow, thanks a ton for such a thorough reply! Doesn't happen 'round these parts too often.
Darn, I wish I had read this yesterday. I had just finished Black Lagoon and was looking for a new anime to watch, and ended up with Dennou Coil (which actually ended up being a very good choice, but I'd more like to see what all the hubbub with GitS is). Honestly, except for Katanagatari, I haven't enjoyed too many episodic anime, but SAC is definitely my next watch now thanks to you.
Your first paragraph on the movies was almost exactly how I felt. Honestly, all I got out of them was great visuals, animation, music, and I guess the characters were alright. A work being intelligent is great, but when it scrubs enjoyable content and development for slow frames mixed with philosophical ramblings (especially evident in the second movie), I find it boring pretentious fluff more than anything honestly. If the 'intelligence' factor was presented more like Death Note's first half, side-by-side some engaging content, I'd find it far more enjoyable.
