About My Rating System:
My rating system is somehow equivocal; there are no fixed characteristics I rely on when I rate, but here are some points I focus on when I am watching anime:
How an anime inspires\influences me, what kind of impact it does leave on me, the style and the structure of the story (usually prefer the mysterious and the out-of-order), the atmosphere and the setting of the events, the plot (an over-the-top one would be great), the characterization and the psychological depth of the characters (a psychopath who is at the same time remarkably intellectualized is my favorite type), the hidden messages of the author, the creativity of the director and how he\she would visualize a certain scene, production\animation quality, music and its harmony/compatibility with the scenes (Sawano is the LOVE \m/).
All these elements are what make an anime either enjoyable or horrible in my point of view.
Thus, my favorite list is very changeable depending on what I have watched and what I will watch.
About Manga:
Not a big fan, but there are some works *between 15 to 25* I have read and it was a good experience. Maybe soon I will be involved more in manga, but currently, I have more enjoyable things I would love to do rather than reading manga.
Finally, the most important thing that encouraged me to sign up on MAL is to start discussions about anime, so if you want to ask me why I prefer an anime to another\ or why I gave this a higher score than that\ about my favorite lists\ or anything related to anime, please feel free to do it, I will be glad to start a one. :)
Similarly, i had Paranoia in my bookmarks folder (aka PTW) like ever since i started watching =)) I'm doing it in bookmarks folder since it's easy to know the order i added them in.
You still have a number of old school series, i'm guessing from what aired on TV.. certainly more than other people. Where do you draw the line for old school anyway
I'm pretty close to Paranoia's end, and up to date with Inuyashiki..
Paranoia Agent i can say intuitively it was an inspiration for the Science Adventure series. It's also the only TV series of the famous film director Satoshi Kon. I see you didn't like Paprika or Chaos;Head, so your mileage may vary.
Inuyashiki that one i predict you will like more.. one of those dark seinen that don't get made too often. It also seems like it will be a complete adaptation of the manga, which is a good thing for the ending. Hope you aren't triggered by 3d animation.
Haha yes i have a Daria cousin =p There's also the MTV series Daria by the creators of Beavis and Butthead. It had this very ahead-of-its-time scene about the word edgy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=887WIB1oRAA
Other than the LoL and Mortal Kombat characters, i associate the name Darius most with the persian leader from Civilization games. I think your story is actual history not mythology 0o
