About Me
Hi, it's me, Rafi! Welcome to my profile :) I discovered MAL while trying to find a useful and engaging anime networking website—now here
I am! In my spare time, I enjoy gaming, video production, travel (when I can afford it), alongside many other hobbies. I grew up watching popular shounen anime that aired during the late 2000s but in recent years I've been trying out different types of anime. I've also been reading manga and light novels more often—something that I wasn't into back then—so I read some that pique my interest. I aim to expand my horizons by exploring a variety of different anime and manga.
Rating System
I give an overall score out of 10 to each anime/manga based on the aspects of direction, narrative, character, animation/art, sound design (anime only), pacing, and enjoyment. In addition to these aspects, a score of 9 or 10 is reserved for those that resonated with me the most and that I also find personal significance. I generally have a positive experience with anything rated between 6 and 10.
10Outstanding. Truly special and nothing short of a masterpiece. A beautiful encounter.
9Excellent. Remarkable and succeeds in almost every way. One of the best of its kind.
8Great. Explores its ideas with high finesse. Minor setbacks do little to hold it back.
7Good. A solid experience with common flaws that's still very much worth your time.
6Decent. While it could've been fleshed out a lot more, but it was a positive experience overall.
5Mediocre. Run-of-the-mill entries or wasted potential in an otherwise adequate attempt.
4Subpar. Had fairly workable aspects but misses in executing those ideas reasonably.
3Bad. Tolerable moments were overshadowed by glaring issues and awful execution.
2Terrible. Only one or two redeeming qualities prevent it from being the absolute worst.
1Appalling. Horrible to the point that it's just insulting to the medium. Avoid at all costs!
