| I've been thinking about this for awhile now. Lately, I've been looking back on the children shows I watched as a kid. Sure, I enjoyed them a lot back then, but comparing it to today's standards, they're pretty awful. I think "Should I rate this when I enjoyed this as a kid or when I watch this today?" Granted, children shows are just that. For that specific audience. But even so, I can see myself going back to a few and enjoying them to this day. [i.e. Digimon]. I'm curious how everyone else rates these shows nowadays. |

That works the other way around as well, for a "grown up" person who's been watching only the kids shows before, any, even the worst "mature" show would seem as a masterpiece. |

| I'll give them 10s because I'm a nostalgiafag |
 |
| I always rate shit on how I remember them - ratings are always subject to change. Also, if you're trying to rail on Digimon, Monster Rancher, Yu-Gi-Oh or some shit, kindly get the fuck out. Those shows were amazing and if you don't like them now you are a tremendous faggot. |
| Your favorite anime is shit. |
| I know what you mean though, if I watch something I liked as a kid usually I find it irritating now. So If I rate it I tend to stick with what I probably would when I was younger. |
     |
| I just rate how I feel at the moment, I enjoyed Medabots when I was ten or so but I don't really care it other than a little nostalgia now. |
| Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she. |
| I definitely rate it according to how I felt about it in terms of enjoyment back then, but there is a slight bias, too. Otherwise, they'd all be in the 8-10 range, but I generally have them a 7 or lower. |
 |
| They're better. The old ones. Digimon S1 > Digmon Xros Wars (or w/e) x1000. New sequels/continuations of older (children) Anime are horrible now. Even the games suck for them now. |
| If it's a good show then it's a good show, no matter what the target audience is. I'm quite odd; I can still watch early pokemon and fine it good, even though I have moved on from it. This isn't blind loyalty, as I can look back on anything and ask myself "Why did I like that show", yet if the story is good, characters are decent and scenario's are well thought out; the show is enjoyable and timeless. |
 |
| I always change scores to be up to date with my current tastes. Giving Pokemon a 8 for example, would ruin the whole scoring system on my list. That being said, I do keep in mind that something is a series for children, and while it certainly won't get a top score, I'll still give it a high score if I think it's good at what it does, the target audience taken into account. |

Doesn't that mean that they really are shit and you just didn't know it because you saw nothing better? Personally i don't watch them and if i do i will probably bury them if they ain't truly good. I don't believe is an excuse making shit because your audience are children and get excited easily. A good show is a good show no matter what. If you liked a show as a child that now seems bad, is simply because you saw nothing good to compare it with it. Even shit might seem like a decent meal to someone that has always been eating them and never tasted other food. I believe kids don't need shows that are especially made to look retarded and boring as hell if you watch them as an adult. They can cope just fine with shows that will seem fun for an adult. Of course i was like that from a child. Power Ranges started when i was a small kid and while other kids where going crazy i was wondering why they like that brainless shit. The same with many kid like shows. I was going crazy about Dragonball and even now as an adult Dragonball is fun to watch. I was wondering why they liked stupid Pokemon too although it was slightly better than Power Rangers at least. Also look at Ika Musume. It looks more like a show made for children but damn is awesome and fun to watch no matter the age. I saw it and i enjoyed it very much. If Dragonball can do it and Ika Musume can do it, there is no excuse of killing the braincells of small children by feating them stupid shit. The show simply sucks and that is all. |

SuperSaiyen said: Confucius said: Aria =) What's with the random post ? Woops, I should've elaborated more. I never really finished any of the children shows like Pokemon so I can't rate them, but Aria is for all ages, so I can rate it based on my set of ratings |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| uhh i just re-watch them for "TEH LOLz" and the compare what i think of it now compared to when i was little. =p |

That works the other way around as well, for a "grown up" person who's been watching only the kids shows before, any, even the worst "mature" show would seem as a masterpiece. I mean like, I decided to watch one episode of Hamtaro, and I saw really awful character design and voice acting. I'm not sure how I let it get passed me when I initially watched it. It's odd to see how low your standards were when you were a kid. Because honestly, watching Hamtaro in this day and age, is kinda boring. However, I'm able to go back to Dexter's Lab or those classic Cartoon network shows, no problem. I still laugh at them every now and then, not as hard as I use to, but they're still pretty enjoyable. I suppose I could just rate them how I used to enjoy them, but something about that rating system doesn't sit well with me, |
| I'm still a kid at heart so I enjoy them XD Of course I notice art,voice acting etc a lot more than I did as a child |
| I kinda still enjoy a lot of kids shows now so it doesn't really matter for me. |

KeiranShikari said: I kinda still enjoy a lot of kids shows now so it doesn't really matter for me. Yeah, same here. The experience can be very various indeed. I rewatched some shows I have always had in great esteem (for anime, Pokemon; for non-anime, The Brave Little Toaster), and I got disappointed. So had to rate it lower than I originally could think of. Does it mean I have to watch it from another perspective? Maybe. But otherwise there are some child shows I am enjoying now. I think that, while it's difficult sometimes to judge with perspective, the good shows remain equally good and easily enjoyable no matter you watch them when you're 5, 10 or 20 years old. That has happened with some Disney classics like Pinocchio (which I actually liked even more now than before) or Dumbo, I consider Babe one of the top10 movies I watched last year (and it was a very productive year in cinema viewing), and for anime I enjoy Chii's Sweet Home more than the Otomo and Oshii efforts I've seen so far. |
| I rate them on how much I enjoyed them back then. |
| That feel when your perception has not changed since childhood ;_; |

| I rate it on how much I liked it back then. I don't think it's fair to rate it low because I don't appreciate it now when it would like brighten my day in the past. I try to look at it objectively. :U It's a kid's show, so as such it does a good job with what it is. I dunno. xD |
 |
| I rate most of them as how I felt then and now, since it really hasn't changed much. I still enjoy them. I <3 digimon, pokemon, yugioh, beyblade, etc. |
 |
| back then (: |
| I rate it on how much I like it now. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| I rate children's shows the same way I rate any other anime. The only exception is that if I haven't seen the series in so many years, and I don't remember it well, I won't add it until I rewatch it (if I ever do). |
| 私のホバークラフトは鰻でいっぱいです |
| I rate them to how I enjoyed them back when I was younger most times. I still enjoy Anime that's aimed at children too (Especially Cardcaptor Sakura). |
| I rate them based on how I would like them now. Tastes and expectations do change and it is not a shame to change a score if your opinion has changed. Besides, if I rated them according to how I felt back then, I'd be using 2 different rating systems |
| I will often rate something that I remember seeing when I was younger as I like it now. It doesn't change how I felt about it when I was younger. I just think it does not make sense to give something a higher rating if say you liked a show a lot more when you were younger but do not like it any more. You shouldn't arbitrarily rate it higher for that fact. Ratings can be changed and will naturally evolve over time as people's likes and dislikes change. |
