Score Explanation:
1: A reminder that I am slowly dying that every cell in my body is burning and that chances are theres nothing past this life an utterly miserable experience that I cant even begin to understand why someone would enjoy.
Best Example: Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny
2: Irredeemably poorly made on all fronts and not even in the funny way yet I want to find something in there to enjoy even in a so bad its good way.
Best Example: Mobile Suit Gundam Seed
3: Something I cant stand but can see the light of what couldve been and of what one might see.
Best Example: Sword Art Online
4: Typically something that had me throughout a solid amount of it yet somehow at some point managed to drop the ball and left me feeling a bit sad that it couldnt keep up.
Best Example: Cannon Busters
5: Something that I have no real strong feelings on either way or something that I cant even remember watching.
Best Example: Mobile Suit Gundam: Chars Counterattack
6: Just dumb fun done well nothing to particularly think about nothing particularly emotionally resonant nor any particularly amazing technical aspects but actively enjoyable for its runtime or it fits perfectly within my aesthetic alley.
Best Examples: Gun X Sword/Black Lagoon
7: Something that I find interesting in one way or another whether it be its technical aspects or its themes but not particularly emotionally resonant nor something that occupies my thoughts with any sort of frequency. Generally recommended.
Best Example: Space Runaway Ideon
8: When everything finally starts to come together something that is emotionally resonant thematically interesting and technically competent but is not quite hitting all of my bases as hard as Id want. Generally recommended.
Best Examples: High Score Girl/Overman King Gainer
9: Youve hit all the bases you did it you made a show that for as far as I care is perfect on its technical side its thematic side its emotional side and I find what it presents extremely interesting.
Best Example: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
10: Something I can point at and say that its deeply affected me in some way whether it has inspired entire ideals I hold gotten me out of a terrible state of mind or is the origin of many of what Id consider my favorite parts of media this show is effectively a part of my world view at all times.
Best Examples: Samurai Champloo/Daicon Opening IV/Mobile Fighter G Gundam
??: Left unrated due to either it being entirely episodic too short and empty to really do anything other than recognize it exists or I just cant quite parse my feelings on it for one reason or another/I dont trust my feelings on it at this point.
Best Examples: Anikuri 15/Mobile Suit Gundam G40/Brain Powerd/Ponyo
When I drop a show its typically due to me just plain old getting bored by it I couldnt really quite get down with it for one reason or another with very very few being ones that in some way made me actively angry its rarely being used as a marker of a shows quality. Also there are times when I will go through it and rewatch a few episodes of certain shows just to be absolutely sure it wasnt just because of the mood Id found myself in.
Best Example of a show dropped due to boredom: .Hack//Sign
Best Example of a show I just couldnt resonate with for one reason or another: Wandering Son
Best Example of a show that was dropped due to anger: Reideen 2007
