What does it take for an anime to get a high/perfect score or even be considered a masterpiece by you?
| Did I enjoy it? Yes. Did I love the fuck out of it? Yes. Basically, those two questions are all that is necessary for me to give an anime a 10. |
 |
| Not every aspect of the anime has to be perfect but the overall reaction and emotional response I get from it needs to be enough to outweigh any misgivings. Take Cowboy Bebop, for example. I gave that a 10/10. It may not be perfect. Edward is not the best anime character and appears to be a pretty flimsy one, in my mind, compared to the others. However, the impressive story line, brilliant concept and probably the best ending episode of all time just made it a masterpiece in my mind. Not to mention, the music is absolutely outstanding! |

| To me an anime has to be a masterpiece by these 3 rules 1. Amazing storyline with no PLOT HOLES 2. Amazing set of characters that are well remembered and play their roles (Useless bitches not allowed) 3. An art style that I enjoy very much or even an art style that is different from the rest but is very good in it's own way However finding a real 'masterpiece' of an anime is almost if not impossible. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE had different views and opinons on how anime should look, sound, and feel. Even if an anime is super popular and everyone loves it, it can still suck. For example Sword Art Online is really popular and people say its a masterpiece (ugh) and I think it's one of the worst animes I've ever seen imo. Plus Anime series always have their flaws wheater it's characters, plot, or anything else. Samurai Champloo, Bleach, and Attack on Titan are great shows that I really like, but when it comes down to it, they have their goods and their bads. Perhaps just maybe, I would consider FMA: Brotherhood a masterpiece. Great storyline, brillant characters, and the last few episodes were amazing, perhaps the only anime that gets better near the end! |

And FMAB is FAAAARRR from a masterpiece. I consider it's #1 spot to be overrated. It's awesome, but not #1. |

Sorry but as soon as I found out the first anime didn't follow the manga, I dropped that sucker |

And it was the mangaka's request. |

| Quite simple really 1. Must be memorable, an anime that I'll always remember and will most likely leave a long lasting bittersweet feeling after its conclusion. It was awesome but it ended. 2. Must evoke emotions and make me relate with its characters. 3. Must have been really enjoyable (subjective) And most importantly, it must possess those awesome moments that make you think "damn, this is amazing" With those pointers in mind, it's really easy to recognize a masterpiece when you see one. You just know it. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Simple. 1. If I loved it. 2. If it makes me want to rewatch it over and over. 3. If it made me smile like a idiot throughout the whole show. 4. If I like the characters and art style. |

| Surprisingly only a few things for a 9 or 10. First, I have to enjoy it a lot and it has to have an impact on me. Second, the story must be great and nicely paced while making sense. Third, the main characters must be good and have a lot of depth and development. Finally, the music has to be at least good (for a 10). |

| I honestly couldn't tell you why I gave Inferno Cop a 10/10 It's just one of those things you can't explain, first episode was all it took for me to fall in love with it. |
| I got quite a lot of 10s and personal enjoyment is also a factor so some of my 10s could be just 8s for many :) |
 |
| I personally don't give tens, the concept of there being no higher scores than that leave me with a dislike for that score. Anything regarded with that score would only invite refutation after refutation. However the higher scores I've given are to those that are very well executed, objectively. So execution comes first and foremost. However if I said there weren't any preferential biases there to varying extents, I'd be lying. I personally tend to like being able to thoroughly justify the scores I give if they're ever questioned. |

| It has to make me cry, I have to be engulfed in the world, I have to be confused with what to do when its over, it has to make me think, it has to portray values, it has to "change" the way I think about the real world. |
