thats the problem with this thread, anyone confident enough to be judged has well rounded taste, at least as far the animes they have seen already. although i did think giving DTB S2 a 2 was a bit harsh and not factoring in the things it did right, but whatever, nitpicks right? |

Everyone has had criticism offered to them, so the thread has served a purpose. (Besides, confidence can sometimes mean cockiness.) I've learned quite a bit from the advice given to others. I especially enjoyed reading different perspectives on MAL's scoring system and the worth of Elfen Lied, Gurren Lagann, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes (the last of which I now feel motivated to watch). I...don't feel worthy of judging anyone's tastes, though. :s So my post isn't deviating from the original topic, everyone's free to, erm, judge me, too. D: |

D: when did someone educate you about the merit of Elfen Lied? i'd like to look at that. i would argue for that show any day, but most critically-minded people tend to shit on it. by the way, i glanced at your profile and saw that your number 1 anime is Blood +. please explain that to me because i finished that show recently and took a break from anime because i thought it was so wretched and devoid of substance that I kind of hate myself for finishing it. it's surprising to me that anyone would hold that show in high esteem, particularly someone with otherwise good taste such as yourself. |

you haven't seen that much so it's hard to say. but i'd say you're on the right track so far when it comes to modern anime. hell, we have a 91% compat. rating, probably highest i've ever seen so i can't really criticize. |

Among some of the titles we share, I'm glad there are some on your list that I really like. We're sort on the same page with certain anime as well. I highly suggest you try and pick on those that you have on hold, like The Big O, Panty and Stocking, and whichever on the list have shorter series spans. If you have movies you're planning to watch, get those out of the way first. OVAs? They're pretty self-contained, so you're likely to get plenty of enjoyment in animation and (hopefully) plot. There's a lot of amazing stuff on your back-list that demands your attention. |

@FrancWyvern Your anime taste seems alright. The Tatami Galaxy got a 10 so I approve. Just watch more. Like, a lot more. Also, I approve of your taste in manga. Vinland Saga and Oyasumi Punpun. Two great manga titles. @keirapop I'm split. You've finished K-ON! but not Princess Tutu or The Tatami Galaxy. As well as scoring 5 centimeters per second and Durarara!! over Tsumiki no Ie. Well. If you could justify why you did these things, then maybe my qualms would settle down. But it just doesn't seem right to me. Now excuse me as I watch more anime to make myself look more credible. |

SSC_Exin said: Really I don't expect everyone to like LoGH, it's a misconception when people praise it as the best thing ever that you must enjoy it. I very much agree. I do think LOGH belongs to the very best anime has to offer, but to say everyone must love it is silly. I read Tavor's comment on LOGH in his list and I am perfectly fine with his opinion. SSC_Exin said: I honestly don't care as long as they don't say it's complete shit (in a more critical stance). Oh, I just ignore such comments, because they're either troll attempts or uneducated ramblings. But, I've got my LOGH pet peeve too. It's when people go around saying how it is so old the animation looks unappealing, thus it must be boring and crappy. Dear assumptionist, your grandmother may be old and look unappealing, but she still may have quite a bit of wisdom to share. |

Ahh the tatami galaxy was one I really wanted to finish but I have attention issues so I couldn't keep up with the subs and the show. It is something I would like to give another try but I am really not sure if I could ever make it through the whole show. Oddly enough I don't even remember that anime very well since it has been years since I have seen it. I think that must be one of my older rating that I forgot to fix... I think I will really have to re-watch that because it looks a whole lot more interesting to me now. Thank you for the feedback!! |

Truth_Seeker said: Please rate my taste in anime if you'd like to. Well, for starters, you rate on a 7-10 scale. Use the full spectrum- There are 10 scores you can use, not just those three. The most glaring rating on your list is that 8 on Mirai Nikki. There are plenty of series on our relations that are just mediocre and I can get why people might, at first glance, think they are good, but not Mirai Nikki. It is genuinely BAD. But I would like to hear your thoughts on the show and why you would give it an 8. Other than that, you just haven't seen a lot of stuff. |

I most likely have to do a lot of re-watching. I've only been into anime for about one year and I was very inexperienced when it came to judging a series. I'm curious as to which series you thought I rated too high(Most likely Deadman Wonderland, Mirai Nikki, Kuroshisuji, and Toradora). I'm interested in discussing them if you don't mind. |

I apologize for my double post, but as you can see I'm new to forums in general and I didn't reply correctly. I apologize. The post before this was in reply to Popka. I hadn't yet read Amberleah's post. I definitely have a soft spot for Mirai Nikki because it was what got in me into actual character development(which is odd because while some characters have backstories none of them really develop). I'll probably change that rating to a 6 or 5 based on what I just remembered. |

I really enjoyed Durarara, but I can definitely understand why someone wouldn't enjoy. Honestly I believe episodes 1-12 were flawless. Those episodes introduced many interesting characters and plot line was complex(Baccano did complex plot lines much better. It's definitely the better Narita Ryohgo title in my opinion.) The following episodes focused too heavily on the other two leads and delivered a very inconclusive ending. Also other interesting characters were reduced to almost nothing. Izaya was reduced too simply a smart villain and Shizuo was comic relief/badass.[spoiler/] For whatever reason though I still really liked the series. I'm bewildered myself. |

I didn't dislike Durarara!!, but I was left a little unsatisfied. Baccano! is certainly the better series. If you're interested, you might want to weigh in on our Evangelion discussion (read: war). |

Thank you for the invitation:I'd love to participate in that. Evangelion is a series known not just for interesting characters but the ability to provoke debate. Just to double check, as I'm very new to forums and I really don't want screw anything up, you're referring to the polling discussion correct? This is slightly off-topic, but I modified my list removing all "nostalgia biases". That being said I have a tendency to be a bit too forgiving when it comes to ratings(though I'm definitely confident in my 9's and 10's). |

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. And I'm wondering, has it been a while since you've seen Digimon Tamers? I probably overrate it, but I think I could make a decent argument for its legitimate quality. Speaking of which, I should also probably submit to tribunal. |
Apr 10, 2013 9:47 PM
#135
Digimon Tamers was my first anime, so yes it's been a very long time. I know Chiaki J. Konaka(Serial Experiments Lain) played a big part in Tamers development so I'm probably underrating it. I forgot to add that to my re-watch list. The only part I remember slightly clearly is the "D-Reaper" Arc which I remember enjoying a lot. |

Apr 10, 2013 11:00 PM
#137
I can defend Haruhi to an extent. I was a bit more lenient because it's really more of a comedic anime. There really isn't much substance to the show itself. Haruhi and Kyon are the only characters that have any substance, but even they aren't that interesting or well-developed. I can't defend C. That is just an example of me being too forgiving and scoring too high. The concept was interesting, but the characters were either well-developed,but cliche or just personality-less. |
Apr 10, 2013 11:07 PM
#138
The art for C was also obtrusive. It was a bit painful to look at. I actually really liked TMoHS; at least the Melancholy arc. It was really meant to be a romance anime, but that was tossed aside after the arc. What a shame. The entire series still needs one more season to really wrap things up. |
Apr 10, 2013 11:17 PM
#139
I agree with you about the Melancholy arc. That arc had substance, but the rest was only mildly entertaining. I'm honsetly just a bit bitter from "Endless Eight". I think developing Koizumi, Mikuru, and Yuki would add a lot more to the show. I feel as if those characters shouldn't be limited to comic relief/plot device roles. I've heard many good things about the movie, but that most likely ends like the Melancholy arc as it's an adaptation of the fourth book in an eleven-novel long series.[spoiler/] I think that the show should get another season too. I haven't read the light novels so I'm not sure if a faithful adaptation is the right way to go. |

Your words will be lost on me. Also, you dropped TTGL and Inferno Cop but kept Bleach? Blasphemer. Watch more from the Enlightenment list. |

GoldenBRS said: rate my taste With only 77 completed it's obvious that your taste can't be really refined. Combined with the age your favorites are all predictable and generic. Not your fault, just an observation. You rate too high in general but I did that in the beginning as well. MAL says we got 80.2% but I doubt that we would agree on many shows regarding quality and value. The Clannad issue was pointed out already but your ratings seem only subjective in general.To recognise flaws while enjoying a show is always a decent goal. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy it because it got some flaws it just ain't perfect. Even I probably rated AS too highly on my list because of the tear factor and the time that pasted since I watched it...but anyway...back on track. There's 2 10's in your list that I would accept with Knk:5 and the Haruhi movie but that's about it. You should aim to define a mostly objective rating system that allows you to use the full scale. Of course subjective impression always is part of this but try to reduce it. If you get around to 200 completed shows and various genres that you watched, you should get a better grasp of what actually has quality or the shows that just blind with fun on the surface with many flaws and uncreative content. A start would be to finish GitS:SaC and Higurashi. |

Hoshi no Koe, i need to see this, but i hated The Place Promised ... so i'm a bit scared! I will wait and try Perfect blue meanwhile, seems safer! You punished Death Note, why is that ? I know it's hype but it's a good show in the end. Glad to see i'm not the only one to think Madoka is not that big. Then i don't know since i didn't yet watched most of your top ratings, except Lain which i think is really overrated. Rest seems legit, although you have Mushishi on Hold ... how can you HOLD IT? |

Thought you have to at least seen all the plot episodes of Haruhi (Things like the baseball, videogame or island episode aren't necessary.) I put Kurenai no Buta on the same level as Ano Hana because honestly...I didn't see anything that special in the story, characters or even the direction. I think it's a tad overrated IMO. |
