I have been a huge fan of anime for much of my life. I have seen many good anime, many bad anime, and many in between. I also enjoy reading a lot, thus the user name.

When somebody insults one of your Waifus


My "WAIFU" = Priscilla from Dark Souls.




10 - one of my very favorites. I absolutely adored it!

9 - Almost perfect, maybe a minor flaw.

8 - Very solid. It may not be my absolute favorite ever, but its up there and I highly respect it

7- A very good series, but not without its flaws. still top 20%. I really liked it.

6- better than average. Not one of the truly great series, but at least fairly good.

5. generic schlock, I really wouldn't bother. Either that or a vile anime with Godlike production value.

4. Below average crap, maybe something so bad it's good, or crap with a large budget.

3. Horrible anime, but maybe it has a few cheap laughs or a decent budget

2. I absolutely hated this anime, avoid like the plague

1. I HATED HATED HATED this anime. One of the worst of all time!
