TOPIX21's Profile

My name is Greg. Kinda always been into anime, growing up all I'd literally do as a kid was play basketball, play videogames, and watch Toonami which kinda got me into it at a young age. But I'd only watch the stuff I'd see on TV. Just recently tho (since February) I've been getting a lot more into anime, more or less I consider it a hobby alongside playing competitive Brawl now. It helps me kill a lot of time, so I'm glad I picked this up. As far as what I like to watch, I'll watch any and everything basically (that isn't pornographic of course, Ecchi is fine tho. Yaoi definitely is a no, watching Yuri doesn't really happen either although there are very few exceptions). Although I watch any genre essentially, Shounens, Thrillers, Romance, and Slice of Life (In that order) are what really captivate me. Also, I don't rate anime according to MAL's rating scale, I have my own personal rating scale, which is listed below.

-My Personal Rating Scale-

10 (Must Watch) – I do believe in the saying, “There is no such thing as perfect”. Regardless, I believe there are some titles that deserve recognition for one reason or another on grounds that it is revolutionary, innovative, or just plain and simply groundbreaking. Titles that receive 10s, at least from me, shouldn’t be looked on as titles I considered perfect, but are titles that I consider high priority in terms of titles I recommend. In other words meaning, these would be the first titles I’d recommend anyone to watch. All titles that receive a 10 from me are doing something right, whether or not it’s in terms of a rambunctious and furiously funny comedy, or a title that was well catered to all around in terms of the production process. I don’t just give out 10s to shows I half-heartedly enjoy, I give them to amazing titles I believe are deserving of your immediate attention.
9 (Highly Recommend) – All titles I tag with 9s are highly rewarding shows in terms of viewing experience, in one way or another. Shows given this particular score usually have a few shortcomings and are highly enjoyable titles, next to titles I’ve given 10s, anything with a 9 would be the next thing I recommend.
8 (Good/Great) - Titles that I've watch that I would, without a doubt, consider "Good" if not great titles to watch. Titles with this score this score, admittedly, may suffer from a few hiccups here and there but overall are “Good” if not “Great” titles you should definitely check out.
7 (Decent/Borderline) - Not the first thing I would recommend, admittedly, but at the same time titles with this score shouldn't be completely written off as just simply “Okay”. All titles with this particular score I will have different opinions of; of course this will be on a case by case basis. Don’t completely write off a title because it’s a 7 on my list, nor take me giving a particular title a 7 as an indication of, “I didn’t like the show”. That’s reserved for the next score below…
6 (Bad) - Anything with this score I doubt you'll enjoy, in all honesty. Consider anything I give a 6 as a title with High Risk but Low Reward in terms of viewing experience. If you’re looking for something entertaining, you should avoid anything I’ve given a 6 and below. Trust my judgement, I know the determining factors of a bad show when I see one.
5 (Terrible) – Anything with this score would be considered a terrible anime by my standards. Take this score as a indication of High Risk with No Reward. To be completely honest, you should be avoiding anything with this score and below.
4 (Horrendous) - A Horrendous anime, in practically all regards…
3 (Repulsive) – A Repulsive anime.
2 (Atrocious) - Utterly and honestly atrocious, anime with this score are barely a step up from my bottom 3 titles.
1 (Untouchable) - Yosuga no Sora, Gantz, Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de, & Mars of Destruction


(Tentative) = Means it's still in my 'Watching' list and hasn't been completed yet, and the score could fluctuate over time
