I missed out on watching anime from 2010-2013. I have lots to catch up on. Will watch lesser-quality shows at 2X speed if needed. I have a low tolerance for shows beyond 2 cour (>26 episodes). The "dropped" list isn't used; all dropped shows are filed under "completed" for easier sorting. I rarely drop anime anyway.

I use the entire 1-10 scale for anime scores. 5 is my average, not 7. Ratings are based on the genre and circumstances they serve. Quoting Roger Ebert: “The star rating system is relative, not absolute. When you ask a friend if Hellboy is any good, you’re not asking if it’s any good compared to Mystic River, you’re asking if it’s any good compared to The Punisher. And my answer would be, on a scale of one to four, if Superman is four, then Hellboy is three and The Punisher is two.”

A 3 is very bad, but a 2 is when I actively hate the show for what it represents. A 1 is horrific, but if you are a masochist, you may want to see these shows just for the shock value. All dropped shows are automatically a 1 (like Katanagatari).

Anything 7+ on my list is worth watching. I have a couple of guilty pleasures, like Mao-chan, but otherwise only a fraction of anime I've seen is worth 7+. <10% of anime are 8+. 9s and 10s are truly special.
