About
TL;DR:
I like slowburn/subtle/vague romance, Realistic/semi-realistic/unique artstyles, Realistic dialogue/believable characters, Fluid animation (CGI or regular), Gore, Ero Guro, Body Horror, LGBT exclusively (+asexual) that are realistic.
I hate: Unrealistic effeminate ''guys'' (like Venti,etc) with female proportions/faces/voices (excluding normal kids), when guys&girls of same age have very different proportions (male are realistic/average while female has tiny kid proportions), moe and loli ''adults/teens'' that sound/act like 5 yrs olds, lgbqtiabcd+ pandering, fujoshi bait, borderline/full-on glorified pxdo/hebephile shows/manga/etc.
If you're fine with MOGAI/xeno, kindly do not follow me.
Scoring system:
100 is between pretty good and flawless. Near impossible, since most stuff if not everything as some sort of flaws
90 is pretty great. Barely any problems, minor technical issues, etc
80 is great/good. Mostly good, might have little things here and there
70 is good/ok. Nothing bad, but not quite there. (My average)
60 is ok/average. Basically, wasted potential. Might have clumsy flow or animation or sound,etc
50 is average/bland. Also wasted potential. Too ''by the books'', a copy-paste formula of ''x'' genre
40 is bland/boring. So bland and nothing that it's most likely not worth your time. Wasted potential x3
30 is boring/garbage. It's still bland and boring, but worse...- 3 and less might be ironically enjoyable
20 is garbage/failure. Garbage with good animation/art and such.
10 is a complete failure. Everything is lacking, story, art, animation, dialogue... fuck you basically.
P.S.: I might like some of the shit I rate 5 and down. But I recognize it is, well, not good.( I rarely won't like 8 and up though)

How I score things:__
I usually score movies and such with two numbers; enjoyment and general actual quality.
Here is a bit more subjective, mixing both scores. I try to put fair and balanced lower scores.
I FREQUENTLY downgrade my scores (or upgrade).
Low score doesn't always mean the show is crap, but that the ''camera'' work might suck ass while the story is good, or the story sucks but the animation is stellar, etc etc.
Things I'm into:
- Slice of life, romance, seinen/josei, sports, nonsense humor or clever satire stuff. But anything has potential;
- Psychological, horror, drama, thriller, dubious stuff themes (like rape/torture, etc). ONLY if shown in a ''you should be disgusted'' way;
- Tragic endings, bittersweetness, ambiguous endings ;
- Tasteful art-themed gore with subtext or just well drawn gore;
- Clever subtext, show not tell;
- Very slow-paced stories or slow-paced;
- Cosy, sweet, subtle cuteness. (Not loud obnoxious kinds...);
- Characters focused stories, and their interactions with one another. If done realistically;
- Semi realistic, realistic or unique looking ''anime'' styles (Not copy-paste generic looking artstyles);
- Good and realistic mouth animation, like in Akira;
- Well-made art, backgrounds, etc and smooth animation. When the background characters actually move/react and aren't immobile;
Things that make my eyes roll/pet peeves
- Nihilism done wrong... there's a fine line. Trying to be deep without subtlety. Or edgy without a certain tone;
- Forced angst, drama or abuse with no reason. It's not clever;
- ''I'm not gay/like guys, but I like you'' x1000. (Bisexual);
- Unrealistic ''everyone accept ''x'' instantly'', fujoshi author self-inserts.
- Loud =/= funny/cute;
-Bad lip-syncing (I will drop) or very bland mouth animation that just open and closes:
Things I can't stand
- Mary Sue characters, unless satire. Useless/whiny/etc protagonists. Characters deep as a puddle;
- Exposition. Bad or forced character dialogue/drama for the heck of it;
- Huge inconsistency in artstyle. Unless it's a chibi thing.;
- Glorified rape and abuse. Glorified pxdo/child grooming. Those subjects are fine as a story themselves, but NOT glorified to make it ''cute'' or ''sexy'';
- Cliché overload, ''cute'' girls doing ''cute'' things (and boy equivalent), ''legal loli'', etc;
BIGGEST TURN OFFs:
- Cliché effeminate shota/tr4p/short guys and their moe/loli equivalent. Even worse if in skimpy outfits (ex: god Venti outfit);
- Cliché shy softspoken shota/bishounen tr4p voice that never seems to be on any other characters than a ''guy'' that look like a pre-teen kid/chick;
- Pedo bait animes, horny teens/adult characters that won't shut up about boobs every other page;
- Alpha/Beta/Omega things, it's disgusting;
