About
Welcome!
You can also find me on MyAnimeList (although it's outdated).
What do I like? Generally, creative stuff with interesting worlds and systems.
I especially like crazy trainwrecks of a series, where you have no idea how the writer came up with it but you are enjoying the ride nonetheless.
(such as pic related, it's an absolute blast)
How do I grade?

I use my advanced intellect to perform math. Basically, I grade a bunch of categories from 1 to 5, average, add bonus for very specific stuff (negative if bad stuff), then convert to percents. It's hard to separate these categories from each other, so the scores are based on intuition and therefore not very consistent.presentation: visuals, designs, sound, paneling, animation, reading flow and descriptiveness (for LN).
Story: the story.
Characters: the characters.
Creativity: either a unique concept or a unique combination of concepts. A rare concept is also a good factor.
Success in purpose: reminiscent of enjoyment. Did I get what I expected? Did I get less or more than it? Did the show fully execute all of it's potential?
Specific factor: for when I like something highly specific (like a certain character, or a very specific concept). Negative if bad (such as a specific annoying character). Also used for when something goes far beyond 5 or 1 in one of the categories.
The calculation: floor(10(2average(CRITERIA)+SPECIFICFACTOR))
So all in all, an average show gets 5, below 4 is unwatchable, above 6 is good and above 8 is amazing.
A show doesnt have to be above 8 to be my favorite- maybe its animated like ass and everything else is perfect.
If a show has a score and a comment, it is properly scored.
If a show has a score but no comment, that score is temporary, and I just haven't gotten around to properly scoring it yet (maybe because I'm not done watching it yet).
If a show has no score, that means I can't recall enough of it to score it properly, and I don't want a wrong score to affect my average score and the show's statistics. Usually only happens with Specials\OVAs I have seen a long time ago, that didn't really stand out.
And that's all, folks!
