1/10 - Offensive. A special place reserved for the ones I truly hate. Some of these are actually pretty good, but the idea itself is broken, and there is no possible universe where I could enjoy it. Prime example: Code Geass
2/10 - Incompetent. These bad. Tragically bad. But at very least, they still feels inspired. Maybe if the artist had more skill, these could've been good. Prime example: Sword Art Online
3/10 - Redeemable. These severely challenge my patience. Although parts of it can be somewhat worthwhile, it doesn't quite justify the experience. Prime example: Jujutsu Kaisen
4/10 - Mid af. These are super forgettable, but just barely enjoyable enough to be a justifiable waste of my time. a 4/10 is NOT necessarily a negative score. Prime example: Demon Slayer
5/10 - Flawed Do not mistake these as "average." I actually find these quite captivating, they just have some notable flaws that are hard to ignore. Prime Example: Death Note
6/10 - Entertaining. These are what I call "popcorn entertainment," because they're fun to binge and easy to digest. These are what keeps me coming back to anime. Prime example: Haikyuu!!
7/10 - Artsy. These succeed at offering more than mere entertainment, but an experience far more meaningful, enough that I feel a desire to revisit. I highly recommend anything I rate a 7/10+. Prime example: Violet Evergarden
8/10 - Masterpiece. Must be acknowledged for their masterful artistry and deserves my deepest respect. My only qualm--and by no fault of the art itself--is that I couldn't love it more. Prime example: Penguindrum
9/10 - Favorites. These are the masterpieces that specifically matched my tastes and brought out deeply felt emotions. These are the ones that constantly invade my thoughts. Prime example: Kill la Kill
10/10 - Life-changing. I'm not even exagerrating here. I seriously don't know if I would be the same person I am today if I hadn't seen these anime. That's how deep of an effect these had on me. I've seen all of these several times, and they won't ever fall below a 10. Prime example: K-on!

- I don't score recaps, OVAs, ONAs, and specials if they're filler content, because they're aimed exclusively at avid fans of the IP, meaning there's hardly anything to criticize.
- I don't score anime that I've dropped because my opinion is largely incomplete, and also because I don't want to negatively skew my stats (my average would likely end up in the 3s).
- I usually don't drop anime with an average score of 8.50+ or anime with 1M+ members, though there are some exceptions.
- This list doesn't include explicit Hentai/Erotica because, well, I don't usually watch them all the way through. I skip to the good parts, y'know?


Art is a deeper form of communication, a way for us to share our ideas and strengthen our understanding of one another. My biggest love for the arts is how it broadens my perspective in a way that's palpable. With so many people on this Earth, each with their unique set of beliefs and experiences, there are countless creative ideas I had never considered, and what animation does is unlock this limitless potential. Because you're watching fictional drawings, they're not grounded by the rules of reality, so it's allowed to be the most unfiltered form of an artist's vision.


If you're wondering why I haven't been watching much anime lately, It's because I'm learning Japanese. It's currently April 2024 as of writing this paragraph, and I've been learning Japanese for a full year now. When I started, I decided never to use English subtitles again (unless I'm watching with a friend), so during the past year, I've been mostly sticking to anime I've already seen. But lately, I started reintroducing seasonal anime back into my media diet. While I can make my way through a regular Slice of Life shows no problem, I still have another 1 or 2 years before I can watch anime with a critical lens again.
