Trying to do as much 'objective' reviews as possible. However, I am being fully subjective, when it comes to movies, LN, Manga and 1st impressions for an anime, I haven't finished yet.
My rating factors will be for example: art, characters, character development, music, villains, comedy, story progression, side stories and etc.
Parameters like art quality are rated on the year of publishing. More soundtracks anime has, the better. If characters are cliche or poorly developed, then the score is going down. Story depends on unique ideas, good pacing, cliche factor, sometimes realism factor.
Overall score will be average of factors above, I'll rate by style 8.00 - 8.99 = 8 | 9.00 - 9.99 = 9 ( I will use same style on factors)
If you don't agree with the review it's okay. Everyone has a different taste. If you wanna share your opinion here on my profile, don't be vulgar, just say what you think was wrong and how you would rate it, we are living in democratic world after all.
Everything below is little info about me, so if you wanna read it for some reason, go on.
I started to watch anime around fall 2017, I've seen all sorts of anime before, but it was more of a larval stage, I watched some epic fights scenes or Ecchi scenes, nothing serious. My 1st anime I watched all the way was Highschool DxD, to be honest I think this was probably the best of Ecchi I could watch, it sparked my interest in anime.
From that point my " evolution" was quite slow. I was watching all sorts of Ecchi, but I was reluctant to other genres. In fall 2018 I finally broke shackles and watched something that isn't Ecchi focused and that was GATE: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri and I loved it.
After finishing GATE I decided to watch an anime called Sword Art Online, mainly because it was among the most popular anime ever here. I was disappointed how SAO threw it's potential out of the window and did a whole 2 years of potential content into 12 episodes.
After this disappointment I took a small break from anime. Around February 2019 one anime caught my interest and later appeared to be my 10/10 ( in my heart), No.1 anime. It was Steins;Gate. I fell in love with S;G and this was the one that ignited my passion ( maybe even obsession) for anime. As of now when I'm writing this ( 7.7.2019) I am looking forward to seeing more anime and have fun as I have until now.
Oh yeah, I am not much of a manga reader, because I still study but if you know any good manga plus sites where I can read it, write to me.
My ratings described ("really pro explanation"):
1/10 - If I ever use that number, then I'll might as well probably end up in madhouse, because nothing can be that bad (famous last words)
2/10 - So bad, it makes me either heavily disgusted or depressed or both with the anime quality.
3/10 - Something went really wrong
4/10 - Very illogical or just straight up bad quality or laziness
5/10 - Mediocre ( I use mediocre as bad average or lazy average. Anime does it's job, but it bores me or irritates me a bit)
6/10 - Average. Anime does it's job and I fairly enjoy
7/10 - Good. I like it and enjoy it with some bumps along the way.
8/10 - Very good. Anime does very good job, high quality enjoyment
9/10 - Excellent. Almost perfect, loving the experience, and I desire a sequel.
10/10 - Masterpiece. I give it to only a few anime, it is rare (it will be when I have at least 300 anime finished) for me to give this rating. Heavenly experience.

I haven't finished DBZ yet, so my opinion is subjected to be changed. So far, I like DB a little more than DBZ, but I'm hoping that the series will continue to improve, and that I'll soon move on from the Frieza arc.
I have watched a friend play the visual novel of Steins Gate 0 so I know about a few things and how it ends ...
To my limited knowledge doesn't the SG0 timeline in one way or another lead to Okabe "opening" Steins Gate? which in turn leads back to the original true ending of him saving everyone?
To give you a better understanding I also played the Steins Gate video game on PS3 and I much preferred the Mayuri/Kurisu endings even though they were darker . I never quite liked the idea that Okabe can save both of them but maybe that's just me ....
The missing link episode is great though! Thanks for the recommendation . It's ending seemed more "appropriate" to me
FYI: Artorias and Sif are really cool :)
I've watched 3rd episode and it can be summarized in few words:
1, Plunderer aim is to be that ecchi anime that does pervert jokes and it's not serious.
2, This episode was completely pointless as it decides to introduce new characters and invest the entierity of episode on them instead of investing time into our heroine or Licht, when we are 2 episodes into the show.
3, Licht is again doing pervert stuff, even though it was kinda funny, pervert stuff ruins his potential character for me.
My rating has updated to 5/10. This episode is very bitter for me, it is killing my hopes for the series :(
\\Warning these are my 1st impressions, which purpose is to give you my fellings about Plunderer so far. I will make a 'full' review once I finish Plunderer.//
Also it's and will be major spoilers free and manga or LN adaptation quality won't play any role in my impressions, I haven't read it anyway.
In a post-apocalyptic world dominated by the so-called "Numbers," each human will have their identity branded with their own "Count," which could define any number related to their life. May it be one's walked distance or amount of compliments given to them by others, this Count could lead them to the abyss when it has dropped to zero.
I got hyped quite a lot, when I read this. I knew it was adaptation of manga or LN, but I didn't study what genre it is, so I was really suprised when I saw this show has only 6.56 on MAL, but after I saw it was an ecchi, some bits of my hype has been killed.
Before you say anything I don't have anything against ecchi, I do enjoy some fanservice from time to time, but in regards to this show I was really shocked and kinda dissapointed to learn it's an ecchi.
Without further ado, these are my 1st impressions, they might change to better or worse as the show goes down. Also I will be telling my impressions on my expectations, yes it is ecchi and I do rate ecchi little bit milder, but I found about it literally, when I was about to start watching it, please respect it. This review serves as little help if you are considering watching Plunderer, these are my opinions only.
I'll do 3 categories: what I like, dislike, neutral opinion,
What do I like:
1, Artstyle: I have really low demands on artstyle, so I always have this as a positive. I think it looks pretty good. It's not anything outstanding though.
2, Numbers: Interesting concept, if your number drops to zero you will get devoured by abyss. This concept caught my attention and it's the main reason, why I watch this show.
Neutral:
Bach Licht: I am currently 50/50 on whether he's gonna be a good and interesting character or a boring and cliche character. He's introduced as a pervert and few minutes later he saves the 'princess' and acting pretty noble, I'd rather have at least 3-4 episodes alone developing relationship between him and main heroine.
Legendary Aces: I'll put this one simply, I am looking forward to see more of them, but I hope they won't be influenced by ecchi element much.
1st antagonist: he wasn't anything special, just your mediocre villain, that's all.
Main plot: So far I am waiting for a plot to kick off, this can go either very well or very dreadfully.
Dislike:
Hina: Too much forced feelings, she's one of 'tragic backstory' types. Plunderer makes the mistake many others have made by just throwing these emotions at you, when you spend like 30 minutes with that character. I would prefer slower start and invest 8-12 episodes about her journey to the city, where she meets Licht. We would spend some time with her and 'care' about her. Instead we get some sad flashbacks within the 1st 30 minutes of the show.
Hina's legs: I hope this trend won't continue, because literally 1st episode made it incredibly weird and repetetive.
Ecchi?: If this show goes through the 'more' ecchi route, then this concept will be doomed. This concept has a huge potential, this could be easily 100+ episodes long series if done properly, but as we know, ecchi shows are usually 12-24 eps long. If Plunderer is gonna have 12 episodes I will be very dissapointed.
6/10 it is for now! I think it's too early to tell Plunderer true quality, so I give it 'interesting' 6. I'll keep updating this review and once I finish, I'll make a full review with ratings of Art, story, characters, villains and etc.
The arc builds up Eneru's character, literally portraying him as a God for dozens upon dozens of episodes, and by the time the battle arrives, he's a boring wimp, and is easily one of the easiest villains Luffy has ever fought.
The arc to me has never been worth the effort of watching it... it feels borderline filler in my opinion. Dials get introduced, a Ponyglyth was found, and finally you had the (in my opinion) great backstory of Noland, but, all of those things aren't worth watching the arc for.
Hands down the worst arc in the series in my opinion, but, I'm glad you got something out of it.
Just realized you finished Water 7 and Enies Lobby as well. Man, I love those arcs. So much character development during those arcs for characters who SERIOUSLY needed it, like Usopp, Sanji and Robin. And you got a really great backstory (not the saddest backstory in my opinion, but, great nonetheless) and finally, topped off with a great final fight and send-off to the Going Merry. Perfect arcs in my opinion.
You're on Thriller Bark next. That's a controversial arc like Skypeia although, unlike Skypeia, it actually offers some absolutely superb moments for the straw hats, and has (possibly) the saddest backstory of the bunch. I never understood the hate for Thriller Bark, I personally loved it.
Enjoy it, buddy.
Take care, I literally assure you that from this point forward, there's literally no "bad" arc in One Piece remaining for you to watch... upto the time skip that is.
Anyway, pal. It's nice hearing from you. I added you a while back because I liked your bio, but, I never got around to swinging you a message. Consider this my introduction :).
Have fun, buddy.
I know it seems like I'm commenting on your profile for no reason, but, I just wanted to let you know that if you're enjoying the show at this point, try not to lose faith during the next arc you're coming up on (next long arc that is), as the next major arc you get to is, in my opinion, the lowest point in the entire series without a doubt. However, after you surpass that horrible arc (that some people in the fanbase do enjoy despite its flaws) you'll be treated to two of the greatest arcs in the entire series (from the worst arc to the best arc(s))
Take care, buddy. And I hope you enjoy your time with the series. I know I did. :)
I just wanted to let people interested in starting the series know that there is more to the series than just humanity fighting titans. If I were to give the WHOLE series a rating as of now, it would be a 9.5-10/10. I rate S1 as a 9 because it is the part where we knew the least about the characters (but after completing the series, I understand how important S1 was).
