MY FAVOURITE FILMS EVER:

MY FAVOURITE WESTERN TELEVISION SHOWS EVER:

An explanation of my scores:

10/10: Along with obviously being artistic, creative and narrative marvels, a 10 has to resonate with me deeply on an emotional and almost transcendent level. Something "clicks" in my brain during or after experiencing a story that lets me know that it was a 10. However, don’t mistake this as something completely subjective - it’s a combination of personal resonance and of a cohesive merger of all of the show’s elements working in seamless harmony. A simple lack of flaws isn't enough. These shows are not necessarily perfect, but they were perfect for me and will always hold a special place in my heart. In most cases I'd rather re-experience these than look for new stuff. As a wise man once said: "It's the art that leaves the mark. But to leave it, it must transcend. It must speak for itself. It must be true."

9/10: Absolutely amazing stories that I adore. Great ideas, brilliant execution, often anchored by an awesome cast. One or two elements stopped it from "clicking" for it to become a 10 but a lot of stories with this score are favourites of mine. I'd re-experience these without a doubt.

8/10: Very good or great stories that I often don't have many grievances with. Probably didn't connect with me much or had some debilitating characteristics but still super impressive. Most of these are very memorable and I wouldn't mind re-experiencing most of them even if they didn't speak to me all that much.

7/10: Good, solid stories that had a notable amount of flaws or things that I didn't like, but in which the parts I enjoyed vastly outweighed the bad. I'm definitely glad that I watched these but they don't stick out much in my mind and I don't think about them often, or they may be memorable for both good and bad reasons. At this score I usually wouldn't re-experience anything.

6/10: Usually limited, messy, or disengaging in some way but I still generally enjoyed it. This is the score where the shows are split between stuff I'm glad I experienced and stuff I wish I skipped out on. Still a net positive.

5/10: Basically neutral. Not good, not bad. Usually boring, or held back by a lot of problems. In the majority of cases I wish I hadn't experienced these.

4/10: Actively bad stories with a lot of elements that I disliked, but with some redeeming qualities. Not disgraceful or anything.

3/10: Generally terrible. One or two decent elements or ideas but nothing that comes close to salvaging it.

2/10: Embarrassing. If I continued watching, it was only out of morbid fascination.

1/10: Nothing stories, with literally no value.

Miscellaneous notes:

- Regarding my "Favourite Characters" list at the bottom - I have more than ~400 favourite anime characters, and I cycle through new ones from that pool every few weeks. So it should be noted that my favourite characters list is never in order and is never my actual top twenty favourite characters - it's just 20 from my pool of 400+ favourites.
- Additionally, the inclusion of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni and The House in Fata Morgana in my Favourite Manga section is meant to represent the visual novel + manga experience for Umineko, and the visual novel experience for Fata Morgana. The addition of Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is meant to represent the visual novel for Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, NOT the manga.
- Recommendations are appreciated very much, but not necessary - I've already got plenty of things to play, watch and read, but thank you for the thought!
