I try to rate mostly in accordance with the MAL rating system--that is, I hope to make full use of the 1-10 scale. I think being aware of an anime and its flaws is something to strive for, even if it's an anime I adore (like Baccano!). Conversely, I think it's important to acknowledge the impact and good points of anime I find huge faults in, especially if the anime was meaningful to many people (like Your Lie in April).
I give anime 5s when I think they're completely mediocre (bland, average, etc). They aren't necessarily bad, but I typically don't find them good. They offer nothing new but in many cases still appeal to plenty of people.
If you'd like to chat about anything at all, feel free to message me! I'll try and get back to you as soon as I'm able.
As for me, I'm currently a university student.
P.S. to fellow Baccano! fans--you should read the LNs. Do you know how much good stuff you're missing out on? Amazing stuff that may never be animated? It's tragic. I've written up an intro guide to the differences between the anime and the source material it adapts on /r/Baccano
here.

I have also founded the

Here's some question regarding some events on Baccano! LN:
Thanks in advance.
I have so many questions I want to ask right now, since you're the admin of Baccano, Vamp and Etsusa Bridge Wikis. But I will save these for later. I doubt you have much time to answer these.
It seems you haven't read the latest Narita Ryohgo LN, Fate/Strange Fake. I also noticed that you haven't watched anything from Fate/ Franchise.
Well, I highly recommend you to read Fate/Strange Fake, even if you haven't consumed any Fate/ Works.
The translation is quite up-to-date and only one chapter is left to be translated. (Which will probably be finished in 2 weeks)
You can read it here, if you're interested :

Our skype group is big too, we'd love to have you aboard! 良い一日を！
Ahh, I see. Having help it always nice for things like that. My list was made by another user in a club quite awhile ago, I don't think I could make something this nice myself. I'm not very good with CSS hahaha.
That sounds nice, maybe you'll come up with another layout for it in the process.
It does indeed. I stick to MAL's rating system. I understand why you're confused -- there's a lot of 5s lol. And low ratings in general. But that's because I currently rate by enjoyment. I did used to have my own rating scale, 6-7 was average, but it was a headache so I just stuck with MAL's.
Well, it's because of the second half. They started to drag it out quite a bit after like 14 episodes, and there's a couple of plot holes that I still wonder about. All of this considered, I thought about how (from what I noticed) it got worse the closer I got to finishing, and I thought 3 was fitting. I appreciated the plot twist(s), they were nice, but after all of those things, it was quite a disappointment.
Gotcha about the Aoharu thing, it's just something that I've been seeing a lot in anime. I didn't think it'd be that common of a thing in the shows.
Yeah, just got to where it revealed the characters in RnY. They really are weird. I'm liking the show a lot. I don't care for the character designs though lol
Yes, that'd be the prequel! It's fantastic imo. If you do watch it, don't watch the dub. I usually will watch dubs, but that one is absolutely awful
I don't have anything more to add about most of that, but concerning Nodame, I've actually heard quite a bit about it. It's definitely something I want to watch. As for Toradora's popularity, I'm sure it works for some people. Different taste and all that. That's what makes a resource like this so excellent imo. It contains diverse samples to give you a feel for what the different genres have to offer; you might hate some samples and love others all under the same genre- but they're generally all noteworthy and/or worth giving a chance.
Yeah, Arslan Senki is on a short hold. I rate my impressions of a show as I go along, so that 8 could change drastically as I watch more. As for the number of series I'm watching, I've tried watching more, and tbh it takes a lot of effort- something I don't think is a good idea if you're just trying to have fun with it. Some of my favorite people on MAL watch a bazillion shows every season, but I don't think that's really for me. At my peak I'd likely watch six shows at a time... and even that sounds kinda crazy for me. I like to focus on a small number of shows at a time, so I am pretty moody when it comes to what I decide to watch next. Hopefully my interest in Moribito will remain high enough to go ahead and pick up soon after I clean up my watching and on-hold stuff.
