I started watching anime around 2013 (I'm 9 years old in that year) and I've been nonstop for the most part ever since despite that I also spend my time playing games and watching Youtube videos.
I started practicing doing essays around 2019 (I'm 15 years old in that year) so that I could plan on making a review soon and another. Although, my reviews aren't very precise so I apologies for that.
That said, feel free to chat with me. I'll welcome all follows, although it would nice if you try to be respectful and considerate about my opinions (and other people's in general) possibly differing from yours.
And keep in mind, just because I dislike or hate on a certain series, doesn't mean I shame on a creator for creating it or the people who like it. Again, to each on our own.

My Ranking Scale
Spoiler, click to viewclick to hide
The beginning of a truly unforgettable experience. These titles show super-B effort to their quality from start to finish. Not only well-written, memorable, and compelling but also continuously rewatchable/rereadable. Cherry on top of the cake storyline, dynamic characters with their outstanding presence, personalities, backdrop, and story contribution, beautifully visualized directing, and top notch worldbuilding. They may have a little amount of disadvantages and therefore far from perfect, but they still remain to be all-time favorites. They're really irreplaceable.
Not only are they excellent with their storyline and characters but are also very fun to watch/read. They are perhaps masterpieces on their own rights. The way they represent their creations are quite endearing to the audience. A little more flaws affecting these titles but worry or not, the positive aspects remain to overshadow said-flaws. These series are also all-time favorites material.
Very exceptional most of the time. Again, a little more flaws invading but the positive aspects overshadow them. Amazing? Not really, but they are at least interesting, charismatic, and multi-dimensional. Titles with integrity and earnestness that you respect without in a need of help. Something that is used as an example to teach people how a storyline works. A little problematic but still left a sweet taste for us. Set a benchmark for other people to follow.
These titles are good and easily recommendable. Despite that they have a decent amount of downsides, they still manage to power through to produce something worth the initial investment. Solid story, interesting and charismatic characters, and good displays. A nice experience whether if it's from a weak progression to a strong finish or a fresh full-on representation with quite a handy of problems spotted depending on an audience's personal view. Showing the amount of effort they put into. Overall promising.
Pretty decent for what they are. There are good moments involved but at the same time, they aren't too appealing and so. Either that they have great premise but questionable execution or quite a lot of flaws that kept them from being superior. Either way, they are still relatively "good" to their own, just not something I could praise 24/7 of the time. With that out of the way, these are still recommendable but without having to hype a newcomer.
Not bad by any means but not good either. Either that they're basic, mediocre, or wasted potential. They're pretty much like a hit-or-miss. They may have a few unique aspects but that doesn't mean that they're better or anything. They can also be occasions where they excelled in a certain area but neglected a lot of the fundamentals. On one cup, they are forgettable at best. On the other, they are pretty rushed with their progression. On the other, they are something I couldn't care much about. For half the notable mentions, they're pretty much enjoyed while turning your brain off.
Now moving on to the much more problematic types. Suffering from more negative aspects than positive ones. Having too much downsides to an extent where they are far from at least decent. Failing at either working on their interesting premise or thinking of growth on story, characters, and directing. They may have a few redeeming qualities but those don't even rank them higher. These titles are bland not because they are really empty but rather because of the imbalance between the little good and the bigger bad.
Hot damn, dare I say that these are works that have little to no redeeming qualities? They're mostly car crash / rock bottom type of titles. Providing no highlights whatsoever apart from a few specific ones funnily enough. Basically cookie cutters with nothing interesting. Titles being surrounded by bad writing and bad presentation. While I wouldn't say they're the absolute worst, you're better off checking either the video bar over and over or you're clock to see how long they last until they're over.
They're utterly trash. These are laughable/frustrating types that fail in any category or demographic imaginable. Titles with a rating like this are severely undercooked to how you even get into those. They mostly go on and serve as either your punching bags or like crippled projects you laugh at with your friends. Illogical storyline, stereotypically Gary-Sty/archetype characters, and sloppy directing. No finesse or integrity seemed to be involved. The kind of productions that are peak of worthlessness.
Still to this day, I don't really know how any of these "creations" are even to be invented in the first place. Dramatic shitfest. These are dreadful titles that even newcomers will fully agree that they deserve to be thrown into a bottomless pit of tars. The kind of failures that manage to cross every line as their own achievements. Titles so awful they somehow become "masterpieces" in their own commonsense.
Of course, I don't really go overboard on my love or hate towards these examples. I just happened to have a lot of appreciation/problems with each of these.

What do ✡, ✯, ✧, ❁, ※, ‡, ☨, ✽ and ☩ mean?
Spoiler, click to viewclick to hide
✡ - A masterpiece that is considered to be irreplaceable no matter how many series I get myself into and no matter how many times I re-watched/re-read my personal favorites. A series that captures its storytelling, theming, and character writing so well without having to cause accidents of what any amazing they contain. May have their own flaws keeping them from being perfect but they are still lovable through every means.✯ - Bombastic. Fight scenes are very fun to watch and often times, felt very intense and immersive. Depending on what kind of fights they are whether if it's a power trip, weapon fest, or a good olé fistfight. Can be even better when characters dynamics are involved. Fight scenes are considered very subjective as writing is more to the key but they can at least keep you from being bored.
✧ - Comedic genius, a series that is funny or very funny without overblowing their jokes and/or repeating them.
❁ - Emotional and/or shocking. Drama is properly built without it being overdone and while waiting for a certain event that's considered groundbreaking to happen. Character dynamics are the key to emotions and climax as they felt their hearts while thinking about what's happening and/or what they've done before.
※ - A series that's considered generic not because of its premise (is sometimes the case) but are because of how they are used. Most of the time, they felt overdone like a lot and sometimes can be boring. Basic at best. Do understand that just because something's generic, doesn't mean they're necessarily bad. It just happens that how they are utilized felt oversaturated by their perspective creators. They can be bad when they overblow their problems.
‡ - A pretentious series. Either that they add too much detail to their storytelling or they end up switching many times now. Complexity is the key to making a deep story but there is a kind of complexity that is so over the top they ended up making little-to-no sense whatsoever, even when breaking down to a deeper level.
☨ - A series that is funny... but in ways that felt wrong...
✽ - Cringe, comedy doesn't feel right at all. Their jokes are either forced or repeated. Could be both at once.
☩ - A trainwreck or bottom of the barrel. A series that fails to tackle its story and characters properly and felt like a mess. Something that's so bad some of the worst offenders are unironically respected for some reason.
