Animegataris is time capsule anime of our generation similar to that of genshiken or the even older otaku no video.
What do I mean by a Time capsule anime?
Basically it is an anime that reference a multitude of other anime while making fun of meta elements of the anime fandom/production.
An anime about anime and otakus, for otakus.
It is something akin to a recap of everything we have come to love or hate over the past years, reflecting the anime fandom's many cultures.

On the basis of what this anime is supposed to be, they may have earned a very high 8/10 to a 9/10 as they managed to cover all of the many known shows as well as major otaku events and an amazing amount of meta knowledge.
As a standalone anime, it earns a 8/10
It had a lot of twists and turns that only an anime with a lot of references to others and the anime industry itself can make, making it very unique and fresh. Even though there are some parts that may have fallen flat, it was still something that you can take your time with and enjoy. It has enough rules and story elements that makes it work. But there are still unsolved mysteries and loose ends that i'd really want them to tie up, maybe an OVA.
Art: 10/10
Why 10/10? The reason for that is neither because it's beautifully drawn nor animated, but because of all the different styles that they were able to cram into this one anime without overwhelming the watchers and making it a spectacle. You get 3DCG, flash tier drawing, super stylized drawing, 80-90s anime style drawing. There is so many of these things that you can pick up on and the amount of time and effort that went into making these twists made it a 10/10.
sound: 8/10
The opening and ending, good god it's amazingly catchy and fun. The osts were very noticeable and were very fitting to the scene. While it's not a fancy 10/10 it gets the points across as is able to emphasize a scene very well. The feeling of tension, happiness, dread were all able to be conveyed across very well with different osts found in the anime.
Characters: 10/10
The characters are distinctive and shows improvement over time as we slowly see. First they started off with only one feature, then slowly expanded over time. Specifically minoa and her character development, fun is an understatement of watching a total anime noob grow into a full blown otaku, she feels ALIVE and absorbing, and remind us anime watchers of what it FEELS like when we were getting into the fandom as well.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I have watched a lot of anime, I have seen many hidden gems and many mainstream ones, this anime had reference to all of the them and being able to decipher and pick up these different references made it extremely enjoyable to watch.
And then we had the meta jokes, good lord, find me something else to use other than fun and enjoyable because those are enough to portray how i feel when watching this anime.
The twists were somewhat surprising kept us looking forward to more.
It's a total blast to watch this anime.
Overall 9/10:
My honest opinion is that, if you've ever watched anime in your life and find yourself wanting to watch more and learn more about the fandom via anime, or if you're a hardcore fan with a lot of anime under your belt. You absolutely need to watch this anime, you will gain insight on many things that you may have never seen before, and if you want you will gain the joy of being to pick these things up. It is a blast to watch and a roller coaster of a ride. I wholesomely believe that this anime will most likely serve as an initiator of sorts to the uninitiated and something future watchers will be using as reference when researching about anime. It has a lot of value as a Time capsule anime. And they sure used the genre they are in very well, as in if this anime isn't a Time capsule anime, we might not see this level of brilliance. Kudos to those that planned and made this anime, it was truly an amazing gem. Solid 9/10.
