A simple anime fan since 2015 who thinks too hard about what to rank shows. On hold list used for anything I plan to watch sooner rather than later.
Feel free to browse and judge my taste in anime/manga at your leisure :))
1st anime: Fairy tail 300th anime: Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2
1st manga: Yu-gi-oh! 50th manga: pending...l
10 = Art. A masterpiece in every sense of the word. Any flaws are insignificant in wake of how incredible this is. It deserves full praise, and is a personal favourite (or if not, it's something just feels wrong not giving a 10). Eg. Violet Evergarden.
9 = The same as 8, but with a little something special that made me bump it up. Like the humor being extra funny, or the art style being really captivating. The main difference between this and a 10 is how much it's affected me in general, how impactful I think it was, and if it's flaws are enough to keep it from a 10. Eg. Bocchi the Rock.
8 = Given to shows that left me thinking long after I've finished watching. Things with a message that resonated with me, or feels that stuck with me, or even plots that kept me so invested I couldn't stop watching. That kind of thing. Eg. Noragami.
7 = I would recommend this to someone. Given to a lot of shows that didn't quite reach an 8, but I still really enjoyed. Eg. Soul Eater.
6 = I liked it if I gave it this. Mostly given to shows that got a bit boring. In terms of comedies, I usually give it this if I thought it was executed well but just didn't find it funny personally. Eg. Owari no Seraph.
5 = The mediocre. The "well it's not that bad I guess." Funnily enough, there's a lot of guilty pleasure shows ranked here. Eg. Anima Yell!
4 = I give this mostly to shows I really wanted to like, but couldn't. Or perhaps ironically enjoyable shows. Also to shows that had redeemed themselves in some way after disappointing me. Eg. Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love!.
3 = No longer physically hurts to watch, but still awful. Just disappointing really. Eg. Trinity Seven.
2 = Had at least one redeeming quality. The art may be charming or the voice acting may be really good, but otherwise it was a wreck. Eg. How to Keep a Mummy.
1 = Absolutely appalling, with not one redeeming quality. Mostly given to shows that physically hurt me to watch and I had to stop. You can argue it gets better if I kept watching, but quite frankly I could do better things with my time. Eg. The Asterisk War.
Note that these are guidelines more than concrete rules.
Saw someone else do this on their pf and thought it'd be fun, so here's a short list of my favourite songs from anime soundtracks. For the sake of making this shorter, only one song per anime / composer.
