I use a system similar to WAR in Major League Baseball. It's a statistics that tracks how many Wins Above Replacement a player is, or how much better a certain individual is compared to a hypothetical average player which is used as a standard.
For me, I use Gains Above Replacement, or GAR. Essentially, how much have I gained from this particular anime over a replacement-level, average show.
Using 5 to indicate a perfectly average show, anything above that indicates how much I felt I gained from the show, whether it's a greater appreciation for brilliant writing, camera direction, characters, etc. Anything below a 5 means that I feel that I lost more than I received. Since each anime takes time to watch, it has to be worth the time I invested in it. If it isn't, then I rate it accordingly and give it a negative GAR (a 4, 3, 2, or 1).
Thus, my shows aren't necessarily rated comparative to each other even when they're in the same score range, but against a 5, a replacement anime.
For more details on my ratings, each title on my list has a small description that pops up when you hover over it. Feel free to ask away about any of them!
Thanks for the response. I will check the podcast definitely out!
But you wrote in your tag that most of the anime wasn't great. But the bully arc was absolutely stunning and I've never seen such a good way (not even in rl films) to present how harmful bullying really is. Also to mention that Reis and Hinas character relationship became fantastic to the end and how they are similiar too each other. Shaft also did great work in presenting the bullying visual. So I can't really understand why you have 3-gatsu no Lion such a low rating.
Hey man. I've been listening to your podcast since 2015. I was wondering if you can list your guest MAL pages to me? I really would like to check them out. Also what happens to your old guest back in the 2015 days? Did they die?
