Step 1 - Broad categories
I decide how I feel about the show at the time of the reviewing, trying to ignore other titles as much as I can. Fully subjective and may change according to new takes I may get in contact with. There're four broad categories an anime can fit:
- Great (9s and 10s): I enjoyed most of it, if not everything about it: story, characters, art style. I had a great time. Bonus points if I keep thinking about it long after I finished it;
- Good (7s and 8s): I liked it, but it lacked something special. I'd recommend it, but I may add some caveats depending on who I'm talking to;
- Average (4s, 5s and 6s): It's either unengaging/unimpressive throughout, or had equal amounts of good and bad moments;
- Weak (1s, 2s and 3s): It failed at some point. Extremely boring, or its comedy wasn't funny, or it was pretentious, or pointless (recaps usually go here).
Step 2 - Comparative ranking
Anime on the same category are compared with each other and the ones I enjoy more rank higher.
Step 3 - Favorites
The five anime with score of 10 I enjoyed the most go to the favorite list above. Not ordered.
Special cases - No score
Some anime may be aimed at small children or have educational purposes. I may not like it, but it should be judged by its intended audience, not me. Those are in a separate category and can't receive a score based on the previous steps.
