Also, I feel I really should mention, since it's a big part of my otaku identity, Touhou is amazing and the overall doujin culture surrounding it is really interesting and worth getting into. If I were to count it as an anime (WHICH IT ISN'T), I'd probably put it in that batch of 20-24 that's all tied. It's really good. :))
(*)God.... I can't believe I knocked 3-gatsu down from 2 to fucking 7. I even called it tied with K-On for the longest time. I was *so* confident it'd be staying there. But as my life changed, and as I became a happier person in general.. suddenly the bouncy, boundlessly wholesome moe shows resonated with me more strongly than Rei's depression.
STILL A VASTLY INCOMPLETE WORK-IN-PROGRESS, NOT ACCURATE AT ALL, NOR IN ORDER YET.

This one is continued from the top 10 on MAL (listed below), so this is my most to least favorite starting from 11th. NOT UP-TO-DATE
11. Aoba (New Game!)
12. Nene (New Game!)
13. Simon (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)
14. Reigen (Mob Psycho 100)
15. Hazuki (Ojamajo Doremi)
16. Erika (Heartcatch Precure)
17. Yuki (Gakkougurashi!)
18. Bocchi (Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu)
19. Hikari (Demi-chan wa Kataritai)
20. Kaos-chan (Comic Girls)
21. Akari (Yuru Yuri)
The rest of these are miscellaneous categories, none in any particular order. They're *vaguely* in order of preference but the gaps in preference between two different things could vary between not different at all, to being on completely different levels. It's too hard to try to put some of them above the other. :/
Ume Aoki (Hidamari Sketch, Madoka Magica)
Yuusuke Matsuo (Yama no Susume & iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls)
Namori (Endro and Yuru Yuri)
Haruko Iizuka (Endro, Gakkougurashi, Tamayura)
Yoshihiko Umakoshi (Heartcatch Precure, Ojamojo Doremi, Casshern Sins, MHA [tho these ones just look like the manga]))
Yukiko Horiguchi (K-On!, Tamako Market, 22/7, Lucky Star)
Akio Watanabe (Monogatari, The World God Only Knows, The SoulTaker)
Ai Kikuchi (New Game, Mikakukin de Shinkoukei, &... Rainbow????)

Kazuaki Shimada
Akira Hamaguchi
Keita Nagahara
Shin Wakabayashi
Using Fantano's idea, each number consists of three different levels: light, decent, strong. Ratings can be just one number (e.g. Light 6), be in between different levels (e.g. Decent 7 to strong 7), or lead from one number to another (e.g. Strong 7 to a light 8). This rating system is just vague enough to account for some fluctuating opinions, but still precise enough to get an idea of my average opinion of a show.
1 is for series that I revile and offer nothing but things that I hate.
5 is for series that don't offer anything bad, but don't offer anything good either. Shows that offer an equal amount of good and bad things fall into this category as well.
9 is for series that are of exceptional quality, but may not be in that special camp of shows that are personally meaningful to me (though the strong 9s definitely are).
10 is for series that taught me something about myself, and the way I look at the world around me. It's a show that I would urge someone to watch if they would ever want to know who I am as a person. It doesn't mean that a show is flawless, just that those flaws are so minuscule compared to its positives that they're negligible to me.
All other numbers are just a gradient between the above numbers, and don't really need to be explained

anyways there's a lot more but this is already way too fucking much

Watch this for an introduction to sakuga and some AMAZING creators
I write about most of the anime I watch in the tags/comments of the anime on my list. I know no one reads them, but I love doing it for my own satisfaction! And I'm even a tiny bit proud of the rare bits of analysis that I write!
I also love Touhou but MAL doesn't list doujins and I wanna keep track of the ones I read, so I made my own list here. And go here for my thoughts and summaries of the games themselves.
I also started another list of western cartoons that I watch here.
i really need to move my blogging thoughts off of my MAL entries but I've written so much that it'd be such a pain to copy and paste it to wordpress or something.. :(
Thank you for taking the time to answer! Indeed i LOVE K-On! anime, so when i saw "Sotsugyou" on MAL and noticed Taketatsu Ayana (Azusa from K-On!) playing the main girl, i was interested :D I´ll watch it sometime then, thanks again.
I salute you for your #HelpKyoAniHeal info. Thank You. Also i wanted to ask if Tamayura gets a lot better after its first OVA? season, since "affinity to you" thing shows me 79% (holy moly) Those "Graduation" Tamayura films intrigued me, so i watched some of it, but i kinda put the show on-hold.
