Probably the most useless piece of information that everyone likes to talk about for some reason, but anyway. Before I start, you should keep in mind that my ratings are purely subjective, and that "feelings/personal enjoyment" is the most important factor when I rate stuff.
10 - Crème de la crème
An outstanding experience. Everything about it was -at least- very good. An irreplaceable rare pearl of this medium, with nearly non-existing flaws within. It is presented, executed, and explored to its fullest potential, being the closest to the definition of the word "perfect" and "masterpiece", even though it's impossible for something to reach such a state. Enjoyed every single bit of it, without moments of even the slightest feeling of being bored. "Must watch/read" recommended.
9 - Astonishing
Nearly perfect. Rich in content. Minor flaws have been overshadowed and become null. I probably had some very insignificant problems with it, and maybe that's why it's not ranked higher. But still, top-tier quality in every aspect. A title that went beyond its limits and is sometimes even somewhat of a masterpiece, in its respective genre. Enjoyable from the beginning to the very end. This, and the previous category as well, consist of titles that have appealed to me on a personal level Greatly recommended
8 - Great
Despite having some pretty small flaws I couldn't overlook, these titles are easily some of the best I've ever watched/read. Exceedingly satisfying titles that are significantly better than the norm, providing me a superb experience overall. Even though they aren't the best titles I've ever encountered, they still managed to fulfill almost all of my expectations, therefore they are highly appreciated. Maybe not appealing enough to become true favorites of mine, but on an extended list, many of them would be honorable mentions. Not as rare as higher-ranked titles, yet still unique and solid. This is the kind of anime/manga I would like to come across more often. Highly recommended
7 - Entertaining
Rainy day entertainment. An enjoyable title with little to complain about, usually solid in everything it tried to achieve. Every title in this category is either too good to get a 6, or not remarkable enough to get an 8. Maybe a little irregular or insignificant at times, but something I can still call good, even if I'm not fanboying over it. There are many strong points, which made it fairly memorable, but there are some flaws as well (e.g being inconsistent or pacing wasn't that good). In any case, I can easily say that it was a nice and enjoyable experience, but it simply doesn't stand out enough to get a higher rating, even if there aren't any major flaws Recommended
6 - Likeable
Titles in this category are slightly above average. They are good at doing what they are supposed to, providing consistent entertainment, but I had a couple of problems with them, thus failing in going that one step forward to become memorable. They probably had the potential to get a 7, but due to weak execution, or being forgettable for the most part, they felt flat and "burnt themselves". The good stuff managed to outweigh the bad ones, but still, not to the point where it makes any big difference. Overall, decent titles that I partially enjoyed, and managed to capture my attention to a certain degree, but I'll most likely forget about them after a few weeks "Worth giving a try" recommended
5 - Passable
Just a time-killer. The bare minimum I'm okay with. Basically neutral. Not good, not bad. Very mediocre experience that didn't really attract my attention. It probably had some good or interesting elements (e.g animation/art, music, or some likeable characters) which makes it at least satisfactory, despite its disadvantages (at least for some titles). Indifferent for the most part, but it could be enjoyable at times for some reason. Nevertheless, it still didn't bring much to the table, which prevents me from delving more into it. If I didn't drop it, it's because I either liked it a bit more than I usually like a 5/10 title, or I was too bored and I just wanted to occupy myself with something. I don't feel like my time was wasted, but the title's issues gnawed away at the good side significantly and depending on my expectations going in, I might have been slightly disappointed. Another fitting name for this category would be "the lowest passing grade" Cautiously recommended
4 - Underwhelming
Maybe, there is still something here. Maybe there is still something good, but it exists purely in the "potential' stages. There's probably a decent effort or an interesting idea behind them, but these titles were mostly disappointing, due to either being poorly executed or consisting of characters that I couldn't care less about. Not quite a disaster...more like a minor car accident. Unpleasant, but not harmful. I can probably find some features that I like, but for the most part, they are substandard titles that I didn't enjoy, and many of them have been dropped. Some "small and decent" stuff may have kept them from being even worse. Didn't like them, but also didn't hate them. Most titles in this category are dropped, but there are some exceptions for various reasons as before. In conclusion, a below-average title that is actually closer to being considered a bad one Not recommended
3 - Repulsive
At best, these titles are boring, and nothing more. But most of the time, they were so disappointing, to the point where I couldn't care less about them. They failed too much, where any appealing attribute, be it artwork, music, or a certain character, isn't enough to salvage them, and they ended up being "cringey", to say the least. At this point, it becomes pretty rare for me to finish anything that I dislike this much, meaning that most of the scores from here down will be mostly on movies/shorts/one-shots, etc. I guess the only positive thing I can say about these titles is that, even though they are bad and unappealing, I don't consider them as "my worst experiences of all tme" because, at the end of the day, they had "something" to offer. This has to go for the next category, which brings us to... Definitely not recommended.
1 & 2 - Horrendous We finally reached the abyss. A cold and dark area where there's no way back. Humanity's worst nightmares lurk in this dystopian place, where only loneliness, emptiness, and sadness exists.
A special place reserved for titles that aren't just awful, but also offensive. The worst and most unpleasant experiences I've ever had. Titles in this category are either extremely bland, or outright bad, and nothing is strong enough to save them. Absolute trash. There's nothing to gain from anything given these scores, aside from laughing about how miserably they failed. Titles that I gave 2/10, are almost on the same level as the 1/10 ones, with the only difference being that they were a little less painful. Titles that I haven't dropped from this category "must" have a very specific and decent reason in order not to drop them, which tbh, most of the time they will be either too meme to drop or I'm just bored and I have nothing else to watch/read instead. There are also titles that I don't drop because I want to see how they will end, hoping that in the end, they won't be as bad as I expect. But in most cases, I end up wasting my time. "Don't even bother" recommended
Unrated
Unrated titles usually fall into at least one of these 3 categories:
1) I haven't decided yet on the score. Maybe I will, maybe I won't
2) It's been a while since I last occupied myself with the specific title, so I can't give it a thoughtful score
3) It's too insignificant to rate, so I don't really care. This goes for:
-Extra "small" content from a franchise, like random spin-offs, OVAs, specials, one-shots, etc (unless they are part of the main story)
-something with a small number of episodes or small duration, and when it comes to manga, it usually goes for one-shots and random unpopular manga with only a few chapters
In general, an unrated title could be something that isn't your typical anime/manga for some reason, and it makes it harder for me to give it a score since I have to rate it with a very different mindset which I usually use
In general, I don't spend too much time thinking about my scores. I usually tend to decide in advance what score I will give to a title, even if I haven't completed it yet. My scores are just an approximation of how I feel about a title, and nothing more. I don't believe that a single number is enough to express my feelings and thoughts about any anime or manga. At least that's the case for most of the time. You can, of course, assume my feelings about a 10/10 or 1/10 title, which isn't too difficult, but I feel like that's not always enough. I also try to avoid being nitpicky because not only it is pointless, but it also ruins my enjoyment and makes me "exhausted" trying to find something good or bad about a show, just so I can justify my opinion on it. A single "I liked it because <enter reason here>" or "I didn't like it because <enter reason here>" is more than enough. At the end of the day, don't forget that we are talking about Japanese cartoons and comics.
Anything given 9 or 10 (or even an 8 in some rare cases) can be considered a favorite, but I prefer to keep as favorites on my profile only the very few ones that have been truly impactful, and I still haven't lost my hype, no matter how many years ago I watched/read them. In other words, what you see on my favorites list, is what currently appeals to me the most, which of course, is something ever-changing. And because of that, I make some changes from time to time, but nothing too significant. It's just that as time goes by, some titles are fading away...
One other thing about my favorites list is that sometimes, I avoid putting a title that belongs to a big franchise (e.g Fate) on my lists, because a single anime/manga from that franchise, cannot really show/justify my feelings about it. It's not that I don't consider these titles as favorites, I'm just more comfortable this way. Also, my favorites aren't in any particular order, but I usually add the most recent one at the top. As I mentioned, I rarely make any changes to my favorites, and when I do, they usually consist of "minor updates", which don't really matter.
"On hold" and "dropped" titles are almost the same thing. The only difference between them is that "on hold" titles are more likely to be picked up one day in the future, while "dropped" titles, usually don't have a chance. That doesn't mean that I have vowed to abstain from these titles for the rest of my life (at least for some of them). I can just pick them up again if I feel like doing so. While it is true that I consider the vast majority of those a waste of time, some are simply titles I don't assign any priority to, and I'm indifferent towards continuing. For the record, there have been very few times where I gave a 2nd chance to a title that belongs in one of these two categories.
The way I use my "plan to " lists, couldn't be more casual and unorganized. They contain everything that I deem interesting and I wanna watch/read someday, thus they're quite large. I most likely won't bother myself with most of them, but I'd like to have as many choices as possible, in case I decide to pick up and watch/read something from there.
I also have some "nostalgia" anime as "completed". And by that, I mean anime that I used to watch on TV or by VHS when I was a kid. I may haven't really "completed" those anime, but you get the idea.
My manga list is set to private for 2 reasons. The first one is that it's not 100% fixed/updated yet. The second and most important one is that I don't view my manga list as something that I want to share with others. I view it as a "small notebook" where write down "important" stuff that I don't want to forget, and it's only for my personal use. To be honest, I barely read any manga these days, so it's not a big deal anyway. If there's a manga I'd like to discuss, then I definitely will
UOOOHHH SEEEEEXXXX!!!! UWAAAAHHH!!!! SEEEEEEEEXXXX!!!! ORE WA SEKKUSU SURUN JANE!!!! ORE GA, ORE JISHIN GA SHINRO SEKKUSU NI NARUN JA!!!! SEEEEEEEEEXXXX!!!!!! YAMERO, TAKESHI OMAE!

Oh, nice! I didn't know you could do that :o How is it done?
I think there's going to be lots of filler. I know shounen filler and don't like it, but let's see how I will do with shoujo filler :D
Koi Kaze is definitely worth watching, in my opinion. It's a very unique series and very underwatched these days.
Sorry for not replying >.< This December was exhausting with how much anime material I consumed, I really feel like taking a break from anime, and a longer one ^^"
But happy New Year! ^^ Lots of health and happiness!
Thanks c:0 Oh, that happened to me, too. I'm just able to read it better because that background isn't there. Is that an ad? :o Doesn't look like one...
IT IS xD
Oh, I absolutely agree, this show is so packed, I'm sure it's just as surprising and mindblowing on rewatch o_O I'd love to revisit it! :D
No problem ^^
Hmm... it's very different from Koi Kaze. Koi Kaze is suffering for 13 episodes, but Marmalade Boy, while having its share of drama, is definitely more focused on the comedy. I'm interested to see how the anime will work, to be honest -- at 76 episodes, it's three times as long as it needs to be to adapt the entire manga at 40 chapters. I might like it more because the manga did feel pretty fast, so it's an opportunity for a more relaxed pace with a bit more slice of life, I think I'd enjoy that. Or it might introduce lots and lots more drama, which may or may not be a good thing depending on how it's handled xD
You know what, I might just read the Btooom manga after watching the anime. I'm actually surprised by how interesting Btooom actually is :o
Oh wow, Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai is among those I watched :D (not A Kite though o_O) Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai was GLORIOUS, definitely watch it. Cyber City Oedo 606 came out in the 90s, but feels really 80s, similar to Bubblegum Crisis, which actually is from the 80s. Both are really stylishly cyberpunk, maybe I should get into that aesthetic a bit more :D
Memories was one I watched, and I thought it was wonderful, especially the first two parts. I thought I'd recommend it, but then I saw you've already seen it.
So might I suggest other works by Katsuhiro Otomo: Robot Carnival, which is an anthology of short stories themed around robots (robots, not mecha); and Meikyuu Monogatari, which I found a bit more disjointed, but it was still an interesting watch nonetheless.
Other than that, I really recommend Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, it's grand, dark, and really suspenseful. (Fun fact: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (I love the D: emoji there xD) might have been the first, or at least, among the first anime I ever heard of because of this AMV:
^^")
Well, I think I already told you that the main premise of Marmalade Boy is a stepsibling romance, but that's not it. There are just a few "controversial" things in that story that were definitely more common in 90s shoujo... I didn't have the biggest problem with that, but there are definitely peeple who would. The last ~10 chapters were the most I've ever been invested in a manga, though :o
Serial Experiments Lain was a one-of-a-kind experience!! My head is of course still confused, but whose head isn't after processing SEL? xDD It is definitly one of the spookiest series I've ever seen. Not in the same manner as other frightening series, but the visions of the future that are painted onto the canvas here, are really quite ghastly o_O Also prophetic if you consider when the series came out -- since who had Internet back then?! It's definitely more relevant now than twenty years ago :o The direction, especially the sound direction, is masterful, and the artistic presentation are all things I thought were very well-utilized, too!!
The last scene of Episode 12, when Lain shows the self-proclaimed god Masami the way it's done, was so hype!! That was the moment the whole series had worked towards, and I thought it was great. The ending however was actually somewhat sad :/ But I don't think it was a wrong decision to reset the world. Lain is after all not from this world, since she's not a human. But I liked that the second half [of that episode] ended on a hopeful note. I especially liked the moment when her father appeared above Lain. Of course it's not clear if it's really her father, but I find it beautiful that there's a power out there which simply acknowledges a being like Lain suffering from pain and soothes her worries :')
Sorry, I actually don't remember what happened in Episode 8/9... :o Was that the recap episode with the Masami reveal at the end?
Oh, and I'm watching Btooom! now since it's one of the first anime I ever heard of, and I'm actually kind of enjoying it despite my expectations of it being more trashy. It's not incredible or anything, but I don't think it's bad at all so far.
Thank you! :D
You did great, but it's kinda funny you translated the name :P
(I'm just here hoping I got the vocative case right xD)
Oh, I see. Well, I hope you're going to have a good time at New Year's, then :D
I'm doing well. I've been breezing through some old OVAs from the 80s and 90s and now December 2021 is the month I completed the most titles in... ^^" (my favourite of those at the moment being Patlabor which is by the same director as Angel's Egg, but completely different genrewise, since it's a mecha/police/comedy thing :D)
I also have a new entry in my favourites, Serial Experiments Lain. I absolutely loved that series, it was full of creativity and wisdom... :o
After all that, I'm a bit spent on anime at the moment... but I have resumed Marmalade Boy, the manga, finished it today and really liked it overall ^^ (though it was definitely weird o_O) Curious what the anime is going to be like...
Also, I have Christmas break from uni for two weeks and during that time, I hope to get done some things I'm behind on ^^
How did I not think of that????????? I have literally used it for a manga that I read
I just woke up from a 3 hour nap, I am dead
Whats the number one reason u dont watch anime? I am assuming time, its the same for me as well. Sometime u wish that u had more time to watch more anime but what if u have that time but u still dont watch anime? Thats exactly what has been happening to me the past 2 days, since school literally ends tomorrow I dont really have any homework or anything to do for school so I have time but I dont have the motivation to watch.... 😭😭😭😭
Personal note: I WILL FINISH TSUKI TO LAIKA TONIGHT!!!!!!
I will give an example, I mean another one since I already talked about Takt Op. Lets take Fate/Kaleid Prisma Illya, at the time I had just finished the 3 fates adapted by ufotable so I was in that fate hype train kinda and I happened to watch a video of Gigguk and he simply said "lolis kissing", haha very funny. I was interested. Right from the first ep I realized that this show isnt really that good but I wanted to keep watching to get the that scene (the kissing scene). U can theoretically say that I was interested to find something out and that thing was ofc the kissing scene/scenes. Same thing could be said about Takt Op, I was interested in finding out how the animation was. I dont actually mean like I didnt know what I was gonna see, I dont mean finding out sth I didnt already know, I knew about the kissing scene, I knew that Takt Op will have great animation but I wanted to experience it. Seeing a clip is much different than seeing that same scene while u are watching the anime, I dont think I need to explain that. Now here is the thing, what happens after I find whatever I was looking for? Whats then? After I arrived at the kissing scene, do I just drop the anime? Thats the thing, I was interested in just one aspect of the show, not the actual show. I didnt drop it tho, I was very determined to finish it. Thats why I decided to drop Takt Op destiny, I realized that beside my initial interest about wanting to see how the animation looks like there wasnt there anything more for me to. Thats where Aleczandxr's tweet comes into play, why watch Takt Op. Destiny when I could be watching a great anime instead, like GTO.
Hope dont need to do any further elaboration. Whats your take on this?
Ofc I dont like seriously hate these characters, its what I call the funny anger where u are not actually seriously angry or hating sth but u just say that. Just like how u use the word love, 99% of the chance u dont actually mean it.
Nah no one spread false (or any) rumors about me, however I can think of some case which made me "develop" this hate. So I have a brother, a younger one and let me firstly say that I have a quite good memory while my brother is goldfish brain. So for example sth happens and he might forget that he did it so he blames me but I know that it had nothing to do with me but he cant accept that its his fault so I just beat the shit out of him so he randomly remembers that it was him who did it. I just hate in any context when someone blames someone for sth they did not do, especially when both parties know the truth but the general pubic does not. Or even say something about someone that is false, even intentional or unintentionally. Ofc I dont mean just saying a lie about someone is like the worst thing but if I go out of my way and say its not true and u still do no accept that, I will murder u.
I dont even know if I explained that well, I am feeling kinda sleepy tbh
Ofc I like Onizuka, best character by far. Kikuchi is my boy, after he swapped the papers with Onizuka so Onizuka got the best score, idk if u remember the moment I am talking about. I am not sure if this is a hot take but Fuyutsuki sensei is my fav female character, I know u said u like the blond one and I have to say one thing about her that might make u understand my thoughts on her. I want to strangle her. Math teacher was weird as fck, that story bit around him and that girl that got kidnapped was probably my fav so far. I am interested in Miyabi, I want to see why she so badly hates teachers
I too was watching Takt Op mostly coz of the animation which was what piqued my interest at first but I had a revelation.
I saw this tweet and I thought about it. I thought about why I watch anime, kinda. For example, Takt Op destiny, I was interested to see sth, I wanted to find out how good was the animation gonna be, but after I found that out, I saw it with my eyes while watching the shows, there wasnt really anything else I wanted. I was interested in only one aspect of the show but that wasnt enough, for some reason tho I still kept watching. Well, until I had that realization.
I really wanted to like Komi san, Idk if I talked to u about why I dropped it but Komi herself was alright, MC was very very bland, and overall the comedy was not landing. I will try the manga tho sometime in the future
Just wanna talk about GTO a little bit. God I hate this class.... I hope at the end they eventually explain why they hate teachers (which still wouldnt make me like them ofc) so it can add a little depth to whatever is going on. I am no man that thinks deep=good but why are they doing whatever they are doing?? For any great story they need to flesh out both sides, in this case Onizuka (who is great) and the students.
Also its so unfortunate that this happened, let me explain. I dont really hate many characters, like morality does not play a role into my likeness of a character, even if they kill a character that I like I do not mind that. So naturally I like most characters, even the ones that dont really do anything in a story, just them being there is fine with me. However I sometimes can hate a character and I mean really hate. I generally hate when characters lie or try to ruin someone else through lies, which happens A LOT in this anime. Off the top of my head I can think of one character I hate, Shinji from Fate and other than him I cant think of any others but I really hate this class.
Edit: Maybe saying I hate when characters lie is not exactly what I mean but I can confidently say that I hate when they make false claims about someone or spread false rumors or any of that sort which again, happens A LOT
Onizuka is the epitome of the "Amazing character stuck in a mid anime" 😭😭
U said it was around ep 17 or sth where the meme gif comes from but I am excited. Watashi no Cresta
Edit: Maybe saying I hate when characters lie is not exactly what I mean but I can confidently say that I hate when someone makes false claims about another, when they say things that are not true which happens quite a lot in this anime

You did great, but it's kinda funny you translated the name :P
(I'm just here hoping I got the vocative case right xD)
Oh, I see. Well, I hope you're going to have a good time at New Year's, then :D
I'm doing well. I've been breezing through some old OVAs from the 80s and 90s and now December 2021 is the month I completed the most titles in... ^^" (my favourite of those at the moment being Patlabor which is by the same director as Angel's Egg, but completely different genrewise, since it's a mecha/police/comedy thing :D)
I also have a new entry in my favourites, Serial Experiments Lain. I absolutely loved that series, it was full of creativity and wisdom... :o
After all that, I'm a bit spent on anime at the moment... but I have resumed Marmalade Boy, the manga, finished it today and really liked it overall ^^ (though it was definitely weird o_O) Curious what the anime is going to be like...
Also, I have Christmas break from uni for two weeks and during that time, I hope to get done some things I'm behind on ^^
It's been a while since we last talked ^^" What have you been up to?
I just woke up from a 3 hour nap, I am dead
Whats the number one reason u dont watch anime? I am assuming time, its the same for me as well. Sometime u wish that u had more time to watch more anime but what if u have that time but u still dont watch anime? Thats exactly what has been happening to me the past 2 days, since school literally ends tomorrow I dont really have any homework or anything to do for school so I have time but I dont have the motivation to watch.... 😭😭😭😭
Personal note: I WILL FINISH TSUKI TO LAIKA TONIGHT!!!!!!
Hope dont need to do any further elaboration. Whats your take on this?
Ofc I dont like seriously hate these characters, its what I call the funny anger where u are not actually seriously angry or hating sth but u just say that. Just like how u use the word love, 99% of the chance u dont actually mean it.
Nah no one spread false (or any) rumors about me, however I can think of some case which made me "develop" this hate. So I have a brother, a younger one and let me firstly say that I have a quite good memory while my brother is goldfish brain. So for example sth happens and he might forget that he did it so he blames me but I know that it had nothing to do with me but he cant accept that its his fault so I just beat the shit out of him so he randomly remembers that it was him who did it. I just hate in any context when someone blames someone for sth they did not do, especially when both parties know the truth but the general pubic does not. Or even say something about someone that is false, even intentional or unintentionally. Ofc I dont mean just saying a lie about someone is like the worst thing but if I go out of my way and say its not true and u still do no accept that, I will murder u.
I dont even know if I explained that well, I am feeling kinda sleepy tbh
Ofc I like Onizuka, best character by far. Kikuchi is my boy, after he swapped the papers with Onizuka so Onizuka got the best score, idk if u remember the moment I am talking about. I am not sure if this is a hot take but Fuyutsuki sensei is my fav female character, I know u said u like the blond one and I have to say one thing about her that might make u understand my thoughts on her. I want to strangle her. Math teacher was weird as fck, that story bit around him and that girl that got kidnapped was probably my fav so far. I am interested in Miyabi, I want to see why she so badly hates teachers
I saw this tweet and I thought about it. I thought about why I watch anime, kinda. For example, Takt Op destiny, I was interested to see sth, I wanted to find out how good was the animation gonna be, but after I found that out, I saw it with my eyes while watching the shows, there wasnt really anything else I wanted. I was interested in only one aspect of the show but that wasnt enough, for some reason tho I still kept watching. Well, until I had that realization.
I really wanted to like Komi san, Idk if I talked to u about why I dropped it but Komi herself was alright, MC was very very bland, and overall the comedy was not landing. I will try the manga tho sometime in the future
Just wanna talk about GTO a little bit. God I hate this class.... I hope at the end they eventually explain why they hate teachers (which still wouldnt make me like them ofc) so it can add a little depth to whatever is going on. I am no man that thinks deep=good but why are they doing whatever they are doing?? For any great story they need to flesh out both sides, in this case Onizuka (who is great) and the students.
Also its so unfortunate that this happened, let me explain. I dont really hate many characters, like morality does not play a role into my likeness of a character, even if they kill a character that I like I do not mind that. So naturally I like most characters, even the ones that dont really do anything in a story, just them being there is fine with me. However I sometimes can hate a character and I mean really hate. I generally hate when characters lie or try to ruin someone else through lies, which happens A LOT in this anime. Off the top of my head I can think of one character I hate, Shinji from Fate and other than him I cant think of any others but I really hate this class.
Edit: Maybe saying I hate when characters lie is not exactly what I mean but I can confidently say that I hate when they make false claims about someone or spread false rumors or any of that sort which again, happens A LOT
Onizuka is the epitome of the "Amazing character stuck in a mid anime" 😭😭
U said it was around ep 17 or sth where the meme gif comes from but I am excited.
Watashi no Cresta
Edit: Maybe saying I hate when characters lie is not exactly what I mean but I can confidently say that I hate when someone makes false claims about another, when they say things that are not true which happens quite a lot in this anime
