Important notes about my scores:
I enjoyed each show I finished and didn't drop, even if I gave it a 1, a 2 or a 3.
6 is a positive score. I only give 6 to a nice show I liked and would recommend to watch.
4 and 5 are neutral scores, not bad. I'd probably recommend them, too.
My rating system:
GREAT SHOWS.
10 - Basicaly it's 8 or 9 but something unique, special for me. I loved it a lot and it greatly influenced me.
9 - Amazing. One of the best. Everything was good in this show.
8 - Great. It may have some minor problems but overall is a great show. I enjoyed it a lot.
GOOD SHOWS.
7 - Very good. Maybe not so great but really enjoyable.
6 - Ok. Moderately weak, boring sometimes, but I still like it.
NEUTRAL SHOWS.
5 - Neutral (Not too annoying yet). Probably weak and boring but still moderately enjoyable.
4 - Bad (slightly annoying but I don't hate it). Very weak. I still may find this interesting at some point.
BAD SHOWS.
3 - Very bad (I slightly hate it). I liked some minor things but it is awful.
2 - Horrible (I hate it). Pathetic. Everything is bad.
1 - Similar to my 10/10, this is the unique variant for a 2 or a 3. I am proud of each of my 1/10
Favorite things: GAR, psychological, space, sci-fi, avantgarde, retro anime. I have a point for weird things.
Unpopular opinions:
Sket Dance > Gintama
Billy Bat > Monster
Tatami Galaxy spinoff movie > Tatami Galaxy 2022 ONA > original Tatami Galaxy
I was familiar with the practice, but found no record of Pied Piper in English. English versions (specifically those translated by Viz Media) tend to be censored for things seen to be "sexist" and "racist" (even having a "shadow ban" policy against Yudetamago and Nobuhiro Watsuki that was imposed around 2019), though they had a similar policy during the early 2000s (though only certain series fell under it).
Are you planning on reading Pied Piper in the future, by any chance?
I was considering getting a volume of it myself (though it would likely be a Russian translation, since I have had some [minimal] instruction on the language, as opposed to no instruction on Japanese).
It seems like a psychological action manga series, I am guessing possibly similar to Akumetsu or even Death Note.
sorry for the late reply. The problem with my rating is most shows that do get overhyped gets my opinion/rating about the show convoluted. I genuinely see the positives of the show and maybe to a certain extent FEEL them. BUT, its been about a year since i started watching seasonal shows (altho inconsistently) so im not sure if the rating is my colleague's rating (even if it is im not sure if im experiencing it to the fullest) or my genuine rating. AS OF RN, like i said i see all the positives of the show and its engaging enough to make me come back for more. OK THIS MIGHT OVERTURN everything i said so far. I think i want to like csm which i do to a certain extent but its getting capped because of the hype/friends.
Ahh CSM... everybody and their mom is on that show rn. You step outside of your house CSM, you open up the ANY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM CSM, youtube? CSM. CSM CSM CSM CSM CSM EVERYWHERE. I'm the type of person who gets turned OFF by the hype tbh and idk why. Initially i expected it to be another "NEXT GEN SHOUNEN" considering mappa is on board and watched the trailer (which looked stunning btw, EVERY SHOUNEN these days does) which further affirmed my belief of it being a JJK ripoff (totally didn't like that but you have to rate it good or your homies are ready to lynch your ass). Jump to present day and about 7 episodes in... and it wasn't anything revolutionary (in terms of animation maybe but not in terms of everything else). I maybe portraying the show negatively but i was prejudiced against this show even before it aired. Overall i would say its a solid show and interesting enough for me to give it a watch but i was expecting a masterpiece which isn't AS OF NOW. A solid 8 rn just for animation+REFERENCES
Am i ok with older animation? im not quite sure tbh, the overall visuals are ofc not up to par with the current age BUT that's something unique about it as well. I don't think i have much to say about older shows considering i barely touched anything older than the 2000s, and if i would avoid it solely based on my prejudice, i might miss a hidden gem that tops my current favorites. Overall I'm trying to diversify my portfolio as my fellow BM students say so im looking forward to trying the lesser known ones EVEN MORE than the popular ones.

nice
I just saw your card in the MAL valentine's event and it almost made me spit my drink out 👌🏼🤣
If your card doesn't win the funny category, I'll be disappointed TBH :(
