How do I rate anime:
I like good Storytelling and characterisation, animes which imo got that right will score rather high. Even though i enjoy good artwork, this is not a very important point for me (creativity in Art is more important for me than production value). Also im someone who gets easily bored if i have to repeat things. Regarding Anime that means i dont like to watch unoriginal Shows. A flawed Anime which had some interesting ideas will most likely score higher than a AAA production which just warms up old concepts.

Ratings:
There are around 4500 Anime Entries(not Movies or anything else) from which around 3000 have score above 6,5. If you scratch the top 100 you'll get to the Score of 8,5 (it drops rather quick). 3000 Animes (66% of all Animes) are rated between a 6,5 and a 8,5. technically it should be around 900.

Where does that lead to? Well for me, the scoring of a anime says nearly nothing of its quality but of its fanbase and hype. Whenever theres a new Season Shitshows which will be forgotten in a few months threatening the Top 50. There are tons of people here rating everything they watched a 8+. Everything is good, everything is nice...

I personally like using the whole scale:
1-3 are just bad animes, sometimes enjoyable but only due to its shitfactor.
4-5 Average animes which were most likely very uninspired.
6-7 I really enjoyed this show! its a good anime you probably wont regret watching. Had quite some flaws but overall a pleasant experience
8-9 Reserved for the Top 1% of animes, nearly a perfect experience. Well crafted and/or very creative work.
10 An Anime only made every few years, absolute masterfully crafted with nearly nothing to complain about. These are the kind of shows you keep coming back to, always finding something new about it and with every watch growing even more fond of them.

29: Has an anime's fanbase ever made you hesitant to watch an anime?
A: correction: Has THE anime's fanbase [---] yes, dozens of times. Cant really be sure if a popular anime is good if there a tenthousands of people rating everyting a 10/10.
30: How many anime episodes is 'ideal' for you?
A: I really like short stuff. I feel like most stories arent meant to told in hundreds of episodes. Im most comfortable with 1-13 eps. That being said, there are anime which only work with more.
32: If you could make a game for an anime of your choice, what would it be and why?
A: Just give me a proper realisation of .Hacks "The world" and i will be content dying in my chair.
33: Would you ever watch an anime with over [100] episodes?
A: Most of the Anime with over 100 Episodes stretch their story to thin and/or overstayed its welcome. But there are some good like HunterxHunter.
34: Have you ever watched an anime only because you liked a specific character?
A: Sakamoto desu ga? Well this anime is solely based on Sakamoto so makes sense right?
35: Have you ever dropped an anime, if so why?
I have a kinda masochistic anime viewstyle where i finish nearly everything. But i dropped shows which cant come to an end like One Piece, Naruto, Fairytale etc.
36: In your opinion, what makes a good anime?
A: The sum of its parts? Not a satisfactory answer i know, but a show without music, characters or other parts wouldnt really work. I really like complex stories, well written characters or scientific and psychologicial stuff though.
37: Name a popular anime you love
A: I have to say Inuyasha. Was my first anime and really influenced and helped me as a little kid. Thanks Sess.
38: Name a popular anime you hate
Elfenlied. Babies first 2deep4you anime hilarous that there are still people defending this as if its some piece of art kek.
39: Is there an anime you wish was more popular?
Fantastic Children and Kachu Ouji
40: Thoughts on live-action adaptations?
A: I tried a few. Still waiting for the first Adaptation thats not a total disaster. I think you cant transfer an anime back to live action without it instantly becoming inferior to the anime.
