Scores do not matter. Critical consensus does not matter. Art matters. What you like/dislike is not a measurement of your intellect; none of these works are things we're entitled to, they're not "ours." We're simply given the chance to share in someone else's creation, whether that be a passion project or the product of a studio algorithm. The act of dissecting, rating, and looking at the reception of art to measure yourself is all pointless; if it's not about that very artistic expression, it's of tertiary value. Seek to understand before you seek to dissect. Anyone can point at a broken vase, but a true view of its discrete shards and their refraction before light is reserved for the aesthete. To realize that sometimes, the blemishes are what make it beautiful. The vase may be broken, but the way light contorts off the shards is perhaps where the true expression lies. To see beyond mere surface-level observations. To realize that the moment you attempt to pigeonhole things is the moment you've effectively missed the point of expression altogether. Your knowledge of literary devices, narrative structures, tropes, and terminology are all for further understanding—never for baseless dismissals.

The consumer, the reviewer, the critic, it doesn't matter what you call yourself by; all of us are entering the world of the art and not the other way around. We're the outside force. Whatever you call yourself before art, know that we are the foreigners in its dominion, and not it in our's.

Empty yourself of any pretense or prenotions to be filled with what the art and its expression have to offer. And if after all that. After seeking to understand. After living with the artist's vision, you come to a conclusion on whether you like it or not, only then should you dissect and further expound upon your reason for why.

But for those that haven't had that epiphany yet and/or still get pleasure out of numbers and ratings, the ranking scale and quality-control evaluations are listed below.

I wish MAL had a feature where Anime I've seen from a list are highlighted or darkened, I have to manually click on the Anime or remember that I've seen it to actually know that I have seen it, highlighting seen Anime would help skim through your list quicker

Scores perfectly balanced, as all things should.

One of the best reviewers on the platform. Clean profile aesthetic as well.

Terra Formars is that bad? the synopsis sounded so interesting but I'll take your word for it from that review lmao

Tumour Jun 22, 4:52 PM

Texhnolyze should be way higher

OhsnapitsDavid Jun 12, 2:43 PM

Dude you have a solid bio but then you look at you actual scoring and you gave Koi Kaze a 9. The girl literally lost her own character for the sake of plot. In an anime where the only theme is inter family relationships.And just a reminder that its also better than your parasite score and cowboy beebob 7 score?
