I make Flash and Flipnote animations in my free time. They vary from bits of action sequences to just wtf was I thinking.

Speaking of hobbyist animating, shows that I think have good animation exhibit expressive character movement. If you took out the sound for a certain cut and you can still tell what the moving objects/characters are specifically doing, there you have it. So whether or not a show "pretty art" has no bearing on my opinion. You wouldn't say a slideshow of pretty paintings is an animation, now would you?

My Super-Detailed Rating Scale
10 - A+
9 - A
8 - A- to B+
7 - B
6 - B- to C+ (everything below I don't really recommend ever)
5 - C to C-
4 - D
3-1 - scum class
These ratings are based a lot on personal enjoyment, so don't expect any objectivity here. However, shows that at least get an 8 are what I'd recommend to people without much hesitation based on my tastes. While I may not know specifically what kinds of shows I like, I know that I tend to dislike try-hard intellectual shows and fan-servicey shows that rely on "plot" over plot. I'm sort of tolerant of non-crippling plot holes (SAO) since most of the time my eyes look at the art and glaze over the subs, so details are lost.

Still, I wish I could've seen/heard Episode say "gotta love it" at least once.
