SilveryLantern's Profile

I'm just another anime/manga-fan and decided to keep track of things I watch here :)
I spend a lot of time watching anime, and read two weekly manga.
Random things I like include:
- Garlic baguettes
- Reeeeaaallly crispy toasted bread, without being burnt
- Sketching tons of pointless faces, animal or human, on a single paper when I feel like drawing.
- Using the english language, even unconsciously
- Learning anime or movie music on the piano
- Relaxing by the computer in my Yukata all day long
- Singing

How I rank
(I rate based on enjoyment, which often includes a good story, good characters etc. But sometimes I'll love a series even if there are just one or two characters that I like. I rarely finish shows with a score lower than 7, thus making my rating system a little different.)

10 - Fantastic, amazing and awesome. These get a spot in my top list. If there happens to be something I don't like I can easily overlook it.

9 - Reaalllly great, but doesn't manage to capture me to the extent as seen above. I give this rating if I'm feeling unsure about whether something's a masterpiece or not, or if I simply feel that it's better than my 8's.

8 - This is for shows that are good or very good. A common trait is that they have one specific thing that's pulling the score down (unsatisfying endings, too messy plots/relatioships etc.).

7 - I give this score when I'm starting to feel unmotivated to watch an episode. When I feel "crap, there are so many left.". I can find the episodes good while I'm watching them, but I'd rather just be finished and watch something better. Inconsistent interest is a common reason for me; I might drag myself through most of the episodes only to reach an amazing ending, for example.

6 - These often end up on my dropped-list, since I don't like watching mediocre stuff. The ones I've finished are short series, ones I've changed my opinion on, or ones I've gotten through with will-power.

5 - These dominate my dropped-list along with 6's. When a show is this average for me, I don't want to waste time with it. The only 5-pointer series I've finished is No.6, which I was able to finish after a month due to it only having 11 episodes.

4 - Bad. I haven't given this score to anything yet. Same goes for the other low numbers.

Plan to Watch-tags

Will watch - self-explanatory.

Depending - I want to watch the show, but only if I, for example, know it's going to have a good ending. I might be waiting for that confirmation from an ongoing manga, or waiting for a second season-announcement.

Considering - Something's stopping me from making up my mind, whether it be the show's content or others' opinions of it.

Doubtful - Something that has a high probability of being taken off the list, but that I still want to keep for future considerations.
