I would like to add a review for everything I rate on here, but that might be a little more ambitious than I'm prepared to deliver on. I've always been a little at odds with rating systems... At best, now I can look back and judge a certain show by which other shows I've given the same rating. But I try to take other things into account as well. Mainly, the show's intended audience and what they were trying to accomplish. (So, a kids' show and an anime aimed at adults may have the same rating, but chances are I judged them based on very different things. And a sequel is being judged more against the other seasons in that series than against all anime in general.) And I can say that I definitely tend to weigh things like story and character development much higher than technical things like animation. Those are just the elements that are most important to me.
I'm not sure I ever see myself hitting either extreme-- giving anything a 1 or a 10. (Unless it's a show where I'm willing to admit I'm insanely biased.) I try to stay objective with the shows that I love and fair with the shows that I really disliked. Even the worst anime tend to have some sort of redeeming quality, and even the best anime have flaws.

I'm much more likely to drop a manga series than an anime, simply because I prefer to have a physical copy of the manga I'm reading. It can be a lot more difficult (and expensive) to get my hands on an entire manga series, whereas, with anime, if I have access to one episode, I more than likely have access to the rest of the series.

Current Projects:
I'm trying to get into the swing of reading more manga on a regular basis. I'm still keeping up with The Royal Tutor as it comes out, and hallelujah! It looks like the Noragami hiatus has finally come to an end! I stalled with Assassination Classroom about halfway through, but I've now collected the entire series, so I just need to get around to reading it.

On the anime side of things... My anime watching kind of started jumping all over the place as this past year came to an end. There are a lot of slow projects taking up space in my Currently Watching list at the moment. My Yugioh journey has been unofficially on hold for a little while... I did start watching Sun and Moon... I got really into Danganronpa and want to get through the first game's adaptation before moving on to the seasons that actually conclude the story... Still working through the Fruits Basket remake and still loving every second of it. And then the series I review on YouTube have been kind of taken over by requests, and I see that continuing for a while. But it did finally introduce me to Code Geass, which I'm also loving, so I can't say I really have any complaints.
