1/10 - Anime I find intolerably insulting or downright inconceivable. A special place reserved for those that are not only actively offensive, but have attributes so fundamentally broken that I can't even begin to comprehend the deep insularities of its creator.
2/10 - Dreadful anime that are sullied with apparent incompetence. While I can sense some semblance of inspiration, it's mostly squandered by sheer ineptitude. Has some redeeming qualities that could be improved at the hands of more skillful creators.
3/10 - Frustrating anime that are painfully average. These severely challenge my patience. Although parts of it can be somewhat worthwhile, it doesn't quite justify the experience.
4/10 - Okay-ish anime that simply aren't for me. They're good enough that I had no trouble finishing these, but I had a hard time getting invested. I rate my anime comparatively, so bear in mind that a 4/10 is NOT necessarily a negative score.
5/10 - Pretty decent anime that have some noticeable flaws. Do not mistake these as "average." There are just some aspects that interrupt the viewing experience and are hard to ignore.
6/10 - Enjoyable anime with high entertainment value. Though it might have the occasional hiccup, these are so unbelievably captivating and immersive that I feel like I've been transported to the world on-screen, making these quite memorable and effortlessly digestible.
7/10 - Exceptional anime that left more of an impression. These anime, though a bit clumsy in its attempt, offer an experience far more memorable than the rest, enough that I feel a desire to revisit. I highly recommend anything I rate a 7/10+.
8/10 - My Honorable Mentions. Must be acknowledged for their technically impressive and masterful craftsmanship and deserves my deepest respect. My only qualm--and by no fault of the anime itself--is that I couldn't love it more, only because I, as a human with my own subjective tastes, couldn't relate to every intrinsic detail the anime had to offer.
9/10 - My Favorites List. These works of art are so pandering to what I find appealing that they have rocked me to my core, bringing out such intense emotions in me I never thought was possible. I do NOT give out 10s to anime I haven't rewatched, so some of these have genuine potential to become my All-Time Favorites.
10/10 - My All-Time Favorites. Masterful and unique in the most unforgettable way, oozing with creativity that I personally relate to on a raw, emotional level. These are anime that constantly invade my thoughts, anime that changed my life in some major way, anime that unequivocally define who I have become. These will NEVER drop below a 10 because these are characters, emotions, and life lessons that will stick with me for years to come.

- 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, though there might be some rare exceptions. I'm making a separate list for that.

There's a difference between a "guilty pleasure" (which is a 5/10) and "so bad it's good" (which is a 1/10). The latter is something so comically incompetent that I mockingly enjoy it in an ironic way (example: Garzey's Wing dub, Hand Shakers). The former, on the other hand, is something that's bad in a major way, but I can't deny the fact that I took great pleasure in them anyway. It's not that I ignore or look past its flaws; I enjoy it BECAUSE it's trashy and find it strangely appealing (example: Domestic Girlfriend, O Maidens in Your Savage Season). If it's somehow a bizarre mix of the two, it'll likely land at a 3/10



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.



As my username suggests, I love myself a good drama, but that doesn't quite encapsulate everything as it wouldn't explain the cloying comfort I get for CGDCT. Words can mean something different to each person, so I suppose what "drama" means to me is anything inherently empathetic to the human experience. So basically, if it can make me feel an intense emotion, it's something I adore. I know that sounds painfully broad and unhelpful, but I'd rather not fabricate some arbitrary rubric that I must follow. If you want to get a feel for my tastes, it's probably best to observe my Favorites List and make of it what you will.



With manga, I prefer to buy physical copies rather than read online scans because I adore the page-turning experience. I also like collecting them, but I only want a collection of ones I love, so I probably won't read manga unless A) it's published in English, and B) I know for certain I'll enjoy it. I generally prefer anime since I highly value the auditory aspect of a show, but sometimes a story is much better suited on a page than on-screen, so if a manga possibly offers a better experience than its anime adaptation contemporary, I will most likely express interest in consuming the source material in its truest, unfiltered form.
