Rating system:
10: Contains no flaw that bothers me, which does not mean it has to be flawless. Aside from the fact that a 10 must be exceptional in every way possible, most importantly, it has to be life-changing and unmatched with its own kind. I never believe in an embodiment of nonexistent perfection, but that does not mean an absolutely perfect work of art does not exist in the realm of subjectivity. Mind you, perfection does not equate with flawlessness. To be more specific, even when being flawless, without any value of personal enlightenment (like 12 Angry Men), it does not deserve a 10 - the embodiment of subjective perfection.
9: Either contains trivial flaws that are sufficient to bother me or is not significant to me enough to receive a 10. A 9 comes close to a 10, but contemporaneously can never rival its greatness. Of course this factor of 'greatness' varies a lot, so it is uncertain to assert that a 9 will never reach a 10 over time. Regardless, a 9 for me represents something that is far from subjective perfection. Albeit unable to match the greatness of true perfection, it is still amongst the best of the best.
8: Great. While an 8 usually is still unequivocally superb, it either has something I personally don't quite like as much, or is, regardless of personal insignificance, too good and flawless to be anything but great. 8 definitely indicates some of the greatest experience I've had in art.
7: Really good. What I dislike about a 7-rated is quite obvious to me, whether it's a flaw or simply an inherent disrelish. Virtually every title with this rating is still one of my favorites for they represent art with an overall phenomenal quality.
6: Good. To analytically delve into, this is just plain defective. A 6 is too flawed to be in my favorites, but it still is a pleasant experience. In any case, a 6 is worth spending your time on, and anything with a 6 or above is recommended by me.
5: Okay. It's flawed and all, or it's just not for me. But most of the time, I could understand why shows with a 5 are beloved; thus, I would recommend some.
4: Average to sub-par. Not recommendable, and generally is not considered to be a great way to spend one's time.
3: Bad, but still watchable. With a 3, a show could be unpleasant, incredibly boring, and/or very obnoxious. The strengths are bland, while flaws overweigh almost every merit.
2: Horrendous and borderline unwatchable. These are along the line with some of the most distasteful experience that I would never want to ruminate on ever again. There are few worthy elements that carry the entire thing. Basically, it's just really awful, but at least I can endure it.
1: Worst of all. With no artistic merits whatsoever to uplift it, a 1 is irredeemable and irremediable. I feel those who overuse 1s are just being unjust and mentally unhinged. To judge justly and more objectively, shows with obvious strengths but are generally atrocious shall not receive a 1. And certainly, a 1 is nothing comparing to:
0: I can't rate this on MAL, but this segment is obviously for those subhuman below utmost unholiness Mephistopheles cunt fucks that only the two masters Uwe Boll and Tom Six or the notorious Tenshi no Drop can ever achieve. I don't mean to hate all bad things, especially those that give me some good laughs. But these are very different. They carve deep into my mind and hapless, poor soul and strangle me eternally that I can only yearn for death's embrace. What's the point of living?
* Random notes:
1. Favorites are not in any order and may be changeable.
2. Circlejerked dick-inter-sucked self-euphorically-creamed 'intellectual' anime phenomenon is worse than hate circlejerk. For example, a widely worshiped anime that got many to whip their beta dicks out flapping about each other for its "magnificent aura of intellect" like Texhnolyze is inarguably a worse case than the almost equally revolting paradigm that is the instantaneous SAO hatred. Not that it's so necessary to point out or anything, but for someone like me whose brain is mostly spent on futility of life, the amount of annoyance I'm getting from this is just unhealthy (this is conveniently my refutation for the ever meaningless "get a life" comment).
3. Average score like mine gonna get fucked by you guys, cool.
4. White people will be the frontline group of people to get affected by any kind of contagious virus if there is ever an outbreak.
5. I abhor but pity those piteous hombres who sanctify so-called "anime knowledge". It's absolutely fine to be proud of your "anime experience", but you sure have some serious issue (if not, quite literally retarded) if you ever come to think there exists some sort of aura of intellectuality amongst every anime title, or collectively.
6. I love bashing titles (not users) coz oh boy that's the most fun part about this god abysmal site. It's so fun to fuck with a title (not a user) to offend snowflakes, conservatism-tards and bogus buffoons self-proclaimed apotheoses (but... not like directly to the user u know). I'm no big fan of masochism, but their repudiation and disparagement are quite a sight to relish (oh and did I mention about not desiring to offend anyone?).
7. Why should animation be constraint by live-action's standards, or at least, adhere to such standards? Expressiveness and visuals are the fundamental disparity, and such should be embraced. Be it an odd emotional exposition from Ping Pong, or the magical Ghibli's background filled with care for details, or the bizarre color palette, or the timely relevant and thematic visual presentation of Akira, or even the iconic cannot-be-done-irl shounen choreography. Anime that can easily be replicated irl isn't worthy as much, imo. Which is why anime such as Monster or some bland 'mature' slice-of-life aren't my cup of tea. They're not bad, but watching Monster makes me wonder "Why isn't this a live-action? I'd actually prefer this to be a live-action, really."
8. In art, subjectivity and objectivity coexist. If one is to judge about the "good" or "bad", it will most definitely be established upon penchant. Don't ever tell me that words such as "good" or "bad" themselves aren't even subjective. Whereas regarding superiority, objectivity to a certain extent does exist.
9. Speaking of superiority, I like self-proclaimed superiority on the internet. It demonstrates desperation, yearnings, cowardice, haplessness and pitifulness, which is somewhat interesting to me. I do it sometimes, in a meticulously meta self-loathing way.
10. Too many English speakers on this site would instantaneously take all rights of communication away from those who err even the slightest language mistake, as though such a language should be worshiped and essayed to utmost perfection at all time, how narrow-minded and self-absorbed. Though I have to agree that English is universal, and that no matter how intelligent you are, poor language could drastically weaken your articulateness and make you sound dumb. But hey, don't aggravate and intensify it. Like it's not the smartest most accurate measurement of your actual intelligence anyway.
11. I beseech you young intellectuals to curb your haughtiness per flaunting your wonderful political discernment and ideologies. I don't give a shit just shut the fuck up and have some actual discussion.
12. Don't link subreddits.
13. If you have anything to say, be a man, get yourself some toxic masculinity and grow several balls, and come at me in the comments. Stop sending me private messages. Like how tf am I supposed to be increasing my comment count then?
14. Understanding the paradox of elitism requires great amount of brain cells that could have been used for curing cancer or heating up Mars, and I can now proudly say that I have somewhat discerned it, finally. Essentially, when there's something that is so strong of an elite cult, it will eventually be hated by elitists themselves in one way or another. In other words, being a celebrated Letterboxd veteran, elitists often denigrate one another with "The only fool here is you who have used the site for nearly 10 years, watched over 4000 films, and yet still have "A Clockwork Orange" on [pronoun's] favorite list”. You might yet to understand such absurd, erratic behavior, but don't get dampened or hastened. This, after all, is intellectually demanding and requires unyielding perseverance.
15. I am vehemently disallowed to express my genuine interest in any case. After gathering all courage... I will do it: I love art films, classical music and, well... you know, the good old-fashioned medievals prejudices. In such a reclusive and over-sensitive world filled with “the aim to progressiveness and equity”, one ought not to express the genuine love for art and prejudices. What about the good gracious Beethoven, the unmatched auteur Dreyer, or the so-called ‘natural’ dominance of single and solely single societal party? *Sigh* How terrible.
16. Getting banned is not fun, but considering everything happens prior to it makes it all worth it.
17. Migrate to Anilist before it's too late.
18. I feel like I should make my own "Best Forum Posts by me" to jerk off to my own redpilled-ness. No seriously, sometimes the thoughts I exhibit there are so natural that I find it hard to believe how imprudent I can be to yet create such a list. Will do soon, whenever I feel so.
19. I suppose I am obliged to remind you this, albeit obvious, once again for the forty-third time. The notion of "shit taste" should, or dare I say, must exist on any platform, for it merely demonstrates one's discontentment with someone else's penchant, being so obviously subjective. I might have to bring all of you folks readers back to the prehistoric times of human. Let's talk about human evolution, shall we? From the very dawn when we're all simplistic innocent apes, we categorize specie and tag them with stereotypes. Then there's the notion of big penis and small penis corresponding to a flat brain and a full-fledged intellectual cerebral in the ancient Greek and even the Roman medieval. Fast forward there's racism. And now, no lesser in importance, there's a greater of taste and the more menial, viz shité le goût, as well. Humans are despicable, sheeples. Beyond any doubt, humans need prejudice to survive, otherwise their minds will be absolutely lost and everyone will apparently become unfunny. So, what do you say? Respect (or not) others, but be mindful, bashing the person's taste is perfectly acceptable. You have my approval, dear reader.
20."Favorite Nietzsche quotes" that even I can come up with:
- "Without music, life would be a mistake." (I love music too)
- “It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!” (Apparently even emos have a sense of humor. well not that i noticed or anything i just saw the tag 'humor' so yeah)
- “In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.” (lol, no way this dawg said this)
- “Man is the cruelest animal.” (bruh fax)
- "If you look down upon long enough into an abyss then the abyss will look up back at you..." I don't remember but it's pretty corny and overrated.
21. Speaking as a minor, I am to hold every right to self-expression in its quasi-unmitigated stamp of postmodern anarchistic liberalism. Therefore, contradicting to my own disbelief in total freedom of speech enunciated above, I have come to realize the benefits as well as the ultimate power of being a young boy. That is, to be in a privileged position in which any form of political expressions are highly welcomed, for however controversial or foolish will it even matter one bit. Here are some definitive contentions:
-- I am a minor, and therefore I have the rights to lewd, eat, perform in-and-out actions, lewd and be beyond the realm of social respectability as well as laws and restrictions to another minor of any category.
-- I can be a lolicon without being called a lolicon (which is essentially the same point, just want to make that clear).
-- I can be racist, because kids are stupid and no one should take me seriously.
-- I can dodge all responsibilities and my own folly with "it's just a joke bro".
-- I can call anyone whom I have come to dislike a pedophile and society will believe me.
-- Pedophile discontentment is overrated. Free the pedos. Embrace Monogatari.
I just want to make that clear, and that anyone who's planning on messing with me is advised to cease their actions or just the mere thoughts of doing so immediately. This is for your own sake.
23. If you're friends with me on MAL, you should send me a message or sth if you ever follow me on Letterboxd. Otherwise there's simply no way I would notice.
24. Unique, most iconic personalities on MAL:
-- "If you hate anime so much, why do you even watch it?"
-- "Honestly fuck off you lil shit you just hate on anime. If you hate anime so much, why do you even watch it??"
-- "You shit you hate all anime. If you hate a-" ok so it's basically the same thing.
-- "OMG this retard gave [my favorite anime] a ["low" numeral]. How can you be this retarded?"
-- "Ew anime has lolicon lol imagine liking Meruem... That poorly dévelopéd character literally likes a little girl, how can you be such a degenerate? Yes I have the high moral ground, you filth pedo."
"I said it didn't I? He is a poorly dévelopéd character, do you actually need reasons for that? Like do I really have to present rational arguments for that? I said HE IS A PEDO!"
-- "I am superior."
-- "Listen here you piece of subhuman shit, stop spreading toxicity you fuck, else I'll legitimately kill your family no cap."
-- 4chan descents
-- PhDs in teaching you how to watch anime, as well as how to kill yourself.
-- Unfunny, i.e. "Anime is trash and so am I".
-- "You literally rate hentai so your opinion is invalid" (that's just what happens to me most frequently, you may change 'hentai' to anything else as you see fit.)
-- Anti-elitists
-- Valedictorians in politics.
-- Twitter simulator
-- "I can't imagine how anyone can possibly dislike my favorite anime" yes you can.
-- low-quality troll
-- low-quality anti-troll, i.e. "Ah, just another sad troll who has nothing better to do with his life. Nothing to see here folks."
-- Deleting comments after unironically arguing over an already old conversation that makes oneself seem like a sperg. After all, it is important to preserve your status on MAL.
-- "These are the types of people that I will refuse to have a discussion with: 1. Those who won't ever admit they're wrong; and 2. Trolls." Note: This is actually a great strategy for all, and is always applicable under any circumstance. Since all you have to do is be as presumptuous as possible and deem the other 'unapproachable' due to said reasons and that'll solve the case every time. Like, you can't be wrong then can you?
-- When you have 1k+ forum posts and are always active, the reasonable thing to say is "I actually have way better things to do in life other than posting comments on MAL. Therefore, despite having posted this comment publicly on a forum site and having expected differed opinions, I will refuse to discuss with you". With this strategy, it is also feasible to place yourself in the 'correct' position at all time, at least in your own head. The downside is you would look stupid, retarded, self-contradicting and quite possibly mildly contemptible.
-- "I think [whatever] does exist, but only when it suits my own narrative and liking."
I'm gonna cry this is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life this man gave Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood & Death Note the same score as High School DxD, talks like a literal comedical self-proclaimed genius 4chan user, said Johan from Monster is "an inspiration to many youngsters today, including myself", has watched literally tens of thousands of hours of anime yet only rates about 1% of it above a 5, HAS GRIFFITH AS HIS #1 CHARACTER O.A.T., and yet you guys not only take him completely seriously, you also deadass fully 100% believe that he's FOURTEEN years old LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hubristic idiot, your ratings are completely arbitrary and ridiculous, don't ever rate an adequate anime like "Rascal Does Not Dream of Dreaming Girl," a 2, you attention-seeking kid.
Catalano said: thinking that hunter x hunter is an actual good anime
Don't let naysayers phase you. That is so true, everyone should've hated hxh. Then if I like hxh at least I would've been special!
Reality is, people who say they hate hxh and like Naruto are special ;(
Lol you were literally born after I made my account.
Lol you were literally born after I made my account. HxH is pretty good. If you HATE it, you probably have a mental issue. I can understand if it's not your thing though.
Hmm, is there a problem with that? If you do, I'll call you a pedophile so be careful and choose your words wisely.
OH I will report you for that comment.
Hey hey, I should be the one saying that. I'm a kid here, don't take over my role.
You are abusing your age to threaten me for no reason. Shut up.
Wym? You legit brought up the age thing, rich coming from a pedo wouldn't you say?
Reporting this as well. You are a troll.
Troll about what? Don't be such a sissy my guy. I didn't mean to offend :(
I will drink a shot of tequila if you get banned. Probably won't. But you are an total troll. I'd say worse about you but this is a PG13 site. Unfortunately you threatened me and called me a pedophile over a simple HxH disagreement. That was inappropriate and uncalled for. Grow the hell up.
Get banned? Reported? Bruh every time you see someone saying something you don't like, you report??
Hey, if I get banned that'd be hilarious and I wouldn't mind. "Threatened me and called me a pedophille" ooh, that's scary, "over a simple HxH disagreement" oh no.
Here, here's something offensive you say, and I can report you for it:
HxH is pretty good. If you HATE it, you probably have a mental issue. I can understand if it's not your thing though.
Mental issue? What are you insinuating? That people are mentally ill? That poor Catalano here deserves such insults? You sick, sick bastard. (I won't report you though ^^)
You are not as smart as you pretend to be.
Ah sorry man, but I am just that smart. I don't wanna play pretend ;)
There is no situation where you get out of this on top. Why are you persistent? I've already reported you 3+ times.
I get out on top simply because you're so easily angry over me making me kiddy jokes eh? I'm a kid right? Cmon give me some leeway man.
(It's ok, I'll get banned for you, if you're really that scared.)
I'm more convinced you're an adult playing the role of a minor at this point. Nobody trolls like this at your age. Enjoy your ban.
I was saying, poor you. Here since you're such a clumsy dumsy, I'll repeat it for you: Poor you that I caused you so much mental trauma. And I can't tell if you're ironic or not since you're too old to be talking like that, you know, since that's the whole premise.
Anyway, it's fine. My profile gets more traffic anyway so I mean who cares. It's not like people are going to your profile just to read my comment ;)
Honestly, this person shouldn't be on this website. They like anime, but harass others who like anime too. Weebs attacking weebs just isn't cool. I'm sure there are external factors like living in parents basement, etc. Nobody is a natural troll. Something is prompting this troubled individual to act the way they do. It only works on the internet since irl they'd obvious just get murdered.
It's unfortunate that all the key shitpost statements are gone, but primarily the former moderator named Sad going off abt u and two others individually. He like roasted u sympathizing with "soft core users" to blend in compared to before or smth. I was dying lmao.
Appreciate that! The high school grind is soon gonna change from trying to stay at the top to aiming for it. It's a small change but it makes all the difference with ambition. I feel like it's less superficial? Idk. Glad to be out of secondary school, lol.
Nah ur point still holds in some cases for me as well I'm sure. I think it's pretty funny that I take the lower math classes for CS like discrete math after I'm done w real and numerical analysis. I think those are the math classes that I can indeed get a start on earlier because by definition, they fall in the computational side of things (obv excluding the proofs that come with em).
Was it the time u called me a mod spy? lmao.
Also this shit is comedy: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2031302
edit: ^ I'm pretty sure I just got called a softie user in the roast about you lmao
The edX thing was simply a comparison to highlight my limited operational abilities; Maybe I should've said codeacademy or linkedin learning, lmao. I actually picked up my python from AoPS (I'd like to think that 10 week regimen was as strict as few chapters of an intro textbook would have been) and R from my dad, but obviously not in any rigorous sense. I'll look into (and hopefully reach out for) the books when the time comes, so thanks! Also that's a solid multilingual arsenal you've got going there, haha. I'm always amazed to see my CS inclined friends have what seems like so much info under their belts (although I presume the fundamentals aren't too different, it's still insanely impressive to me).
I pride myself on having a sizable head start by regular standards, but they've built placement tests and honors sequences for that because a massive swath of math majors there are like that. I'm starting in what they call the honors calculus sequence, which is 3 quarters of a gentle intro to proofs and point set topology that they call Honors Calc I-II-III. What's funny is that you need a 5 in BC calc (AP credit, if you're not familiar) and a abstract linear algebra placement test score to take this supposed "calculus" class. There are 1 or 2 monsters every entering year (the usamo or mop mfs) that get placed straight into analysis and stuff too. Those guys are terrifying, haha.
While the head start thing is definitely true, these classes seem to deviate from the more computational nature of standard multivariable calc or linear algebra courses, so learning them beforehand might kind of be getting in over my head (reading up on proofs w/o proper guidance makes me nervous). I jump right into real analysis for 2nd year on this track, so I'll probably set my pre-study sights on the econ major classes and ride the wave on the math side.
And nah I've always thought (and still think) it's funny when shit goes down on MAL forums, whoever it's between. I haven't been directly involved often in the provocative gaslighting that goes on in there, but it's honestly amusing af so pleas keep it up lol. And I think I was a lot uh... stupider (?) 2 years ago. I was definitely talking out of my ass about the Gintama stuff (though... bias prevails) so you honestly probably had me with your stance. It feels like I've gotten a lot more talkative (or maybe able to talk?) if anything since then, so it's opened up a lot of nice opportunities to discuss things, like this one.
