Background: Boring info about me, so read at your own risk!
Well I guess I'll start off by saying that I'm sarcastic, overly opinionated, realistic, very straight to the point, and I have an extremely dark sense of humor. The first animes that I finished were Read or Die, and Cyborg: 009, but it wasn't until Naruto started playing on Toonami that I started getting into the whole anime deal. Ever since, I've been watching shows of all genres, and have seen over 300 different animes. As of now, I'm a huge fan of all Type-Moon works (especially Fate and Tsukihime), and I generally love the Moe genre (sadly). That's about everything you need to know, but if for what ever reason you'd like to know more, just ask me! Oh... and one more thing: People need to STOP supporting fan-subs, they are RUINING the anime industry! Either watch your shows on sites like Crunchyroll, or just buy them... Seriously...
Ratings: My Ratings are based mainly on my enjoyment of the series. Complexity and quality do play a role in it, but my enjoyment has the biggest impact.
In this section I'll list what the ratings mean to me and I'll give at least two examples of shows that fit the criteria. Note: I only rate shows with full numbers (meaning no 2.5 or 3.5 ratings), this way I can more easily differentiate shows I like vs. those I don't. Also remember that just because I gave a show a bad rating (3 or lower), it doesn't necessarily mean that I don't like it, it just means that it wasn't as good as other shows...
5 - It was perfection in my eyes, this is the reason why I love anime. It takes a lot to get this score, so when I do rate something with a 5, take note.
Example: Mnemosyne and Bakemonogatari
4 - I really enjoyed the show, but because of little annoyances, or lack of depth, I couldn't in good faith give it a 5. These shows were good, maybe even great, but they were not amazing. While not perfect, these series should still not be overlooked. I recommend each show with a score of 4 or above.
Example: Cowboy Bebop and Durarara!!
3 - If it was just a little better at presenting itself it could have been more than what it was. These shows have a lot of wasted potential and it's a shame, because they were enjoyable for the most part.
Example: Neon Genesis Evangelion and Texhnolyze
2 - These shows must have taken some serious thinking to come up with (sarcasm). Almost no redeeming qualities are present, and the series themselves are easily forgotten. While very mediocre in quality, the show itself isn't terrible. If I wasn't experienced in anime, I would enjoy these shows. Luckily I know better...
Example: Desert Punk and Sword Art Online
1 - An utter atrocity of a show, either through the ground-breaking stupidity of the characters, or the unoriginality/lack of anything that could be considered plot. Whoever made these shows should be ashamed of themselves. Only people who are new to anime, or intense weaboos would enjoy these series.
Example: Excel Saga and Fairy Tail also Queen's Blade
Additional random info:
Favorite Bands: Most people would say my taste in music is bad, but then again, fuck them.
Favorite (non-animated) Movies: I don't usually enjoy movies, they tend to be too short to have any meaningful development. With that said, these are my favorites.
Favorite T.V. Shows: The non-animated kind... DERRRRR
Current Favorite Characters:
What I think about those who claim "Nihilism isn't a bad thing":
LASTLY) (Just because I hate subjectivity that much) I can prove you, and any other existentialist that insists 'reality is subjective' indisputably wrong without so much as one word in the argument by simply striking you all in the face with a brick. (Think about it.) In addition, you all prove yourselves wrong by eating a sandwich. The existentialist proves reality is objective by attempting to convince me that reality is subjective, after all, if reality truly is subjective, then it doesn't matter whether I know it or not, does it? At this point, you 'win' this argument by -- never -- speaking -- another -- word -- in -- this -- argument.

nice list name :D
hey love the way you thought out of the box with your rating system. found your page through that crazy list you have. funny. question, do you recommend another website other than crunchyroll? it"s true that fan subs are not authentic.
"I've tried looking for a show called "Doratora" but I just can't find it... help?"
Did you mean Toradora?
In the first place: Im a simple user and i saw your comment, i couldn't stand that you said naruto its better than fullmetal alchemist. in the second place what's with the badge thing.. and can you explain to me what's the meaning of "nuff said". On the upper hand why you asked who im twice? (i spell it correctly?)
Konnichiwa!
Feel free to read my response in Asmageddon's comments here for more info: http://www.anime-planet.com/users/Asmageddon
I have to say I found this line of your comment fairly amusing:
"I bet you're just mad because he's done more to help it than you ever did."
Perhaps you weren't aware that you are flaming the person who created, developed and has run Anime-Planet for the past 12 years? Regardless, feel free to check out the post on Asmageddon's page for more info. It's pretty clearly spelled out there why he had his commenting banned. Trash talking/harassing staff members doesn't help anyone out - you may want to have a look at the linked topic about Anime-Planet's stance on harassment.
