Anime List Manga List

Watching - Avatar: The Last Airbender - 23/61

My scoring system is tilted to enjoyment factors; how I rate is based on quality of the show, but the higher the score of 6/7 or 9/10 is how much I love the show compared to other shows in that category. Animation is also an element I greatly appreciate in the field of anime and will up a shows score for me if it is beautiful to look at. So basically:

Storytelling Elements > Animation = Enjoyment

I strongly believe in objectivity of quality; subjective opinions do come into play when I'm rating, but if an anime has obvious strong qualities and effort I will not rate it below a 5: Shows such as Oregairu fit into this category; where I find distaste in the show but do not have enough will to deny its quality as a work.

I do not rate titles such as OVA's unless they came before the series; as I believe rating something compared to the longer counterpart is not something achievable, I do tag a score to it, but don't feel right giving it a score using the MAL system, as my opinion isn't as set-in-stone as with main series. I do score short films as long as they reach the 20 minute mark.

A final note which doesn't really have much correlation to my method of scoring; is the fact I place all shorts, music videos and anything under 10 minutes into my "plan to watch" section, as I do not want things that take me next to no time appearing in my completed section, as it ruins part of the effort and feeling of achievement expanding the completed list.
