My philosophies on rating are fairly simple- People naturally create frameworks when engaging in creative pieces and our standards aren't drastically different from one another making artistic merit (more) objectively traceable. At any rate, I feel this is better than throwing around obnoxiously relativistic blanket statements about subjectivity and disregarding the value of thought out analysis. Ultimately true merit comes from a broad understanding of what is in question and how well one can articulate their points about it.
That being said I like to think I put a lot of effort and thought into my ratings. I take a lot things into consideration and strive for consistency. I don't rate entirely on "enjoyment" so a low rating doesn't necessarily mean I dislike something. As far as going from genre to genre, I know not every work aims to change or challenge the medium, but the highest praise should certainly go to the ones that do.

I definitely agree, 2003 plays more like a tragedy rather than a shounen like brotherhood does, which makes it more unique and poignant towards the end. good to know there's still people that prefer the original over the remake
Idk why people love that shows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Watching a lot of old OVAs+movies might've unconsciously made me jaded towards the modern industry as a whole lmao. There's still good stuff being put out, and the sakuga clips I see on Twitter are dope, but when I broke down what I actually like in storytelling I realized anime as a whole ain't for me anymore.
I don't know about that, wouldn't put it past them to make something new at some point. Still waiting for a decent way to watch it though. Seemed fun from the first 15min teaser. Mari's "nyanyanya" shit was pretty fun though, she should get her own series or something.
