I love art in all its forms—movies, music, paintings, and especially anime. To me, anime is a powerful art medium because it blends storytelling, visuals, and sound into something unique. Even if a work seems weak or flawed, there’s always something worth appreciating when you look at it objectively. At the same time, personal feelings matter, because enjoyment is never purely objective.
That said, judging art isn’t that simple. Every medium has its own strengths and standards. An anime might have average animation but deliver emotions perfectly—and that doesn’t make it any less great. Just like a painting is judged by its details and a song by its lyrics and melody, anime should be appreciated for what it does best. Art is diverse, and truly enjoying it means understanding and respecting those differences.
Usually, I review anime that feel close to perfect. But sometimes, it feels just as meaningful to talk about anime that touched my heart, even if they aren’t flawless. My recommendations come from genuine passion and love for the unique qualities that make each work special.
For those who's wondering about how i rate and score my anime
Imagine being thrown into the vast world of anime, with countless series waiting to be explored. Some stories stick with you, leaving a lasting impression, while others pass by like a fleeting breeze. My scoring system is a way to classify these experiences—from the ones that challenge your perspective and redefine your thinking, to those that fail to deliver or disappoint.
It's important to note that I score anime based on their genre and theme. For example, giving an 8 to a romantic comedy does not make it directly comparable to a fantasy epic or a psychological thriller with the same score. Each genre and theme comes with its own expectations, and I evaluate anime within the framework of what they aim to achieve. This approach allows me to appreciate a series for what it is, rather than unfairly comparing it to something outside its scope.
My scoring reflects both objective qualities, like storytelling and animation, and subjective enjoyment, creating a balance that captures the unique charm of each anime
10 – The Pinnacle of Impact
A 10 is not given out lightly; it's given to those truly perfect anime that bring something personal with it, too-a new way of looking at things, a new appreciation, or a strong connection. These shows feel whole and satisfying, even if not always having a clear ending. This level of anime has really pulled off something special.
9 - Mastery in its domain
A 9 represents an anime that has mastered its genre. It doesn't need to be the most visually appealing, nor does every single aspect need to be perfect, but it knows what its style is and executes that style exemplary. It may even make one not typically interested in its genre take notice.
A score of 9 will meet at least half of these key criteria: flashy visuals, well-told and original story, relatable casting, detailed world-building, great music that really enhances scenes, and engaging dialogue.
8 – A Tough Competitor
An 8 rating applies to anime that is special in one or more important ways. For lovers of the series' genre, this anime will likely be a very popular title. The production values are quite good: there is something worth remembering that made the time spent on it worthwhile: the story, the music, the characters, or the visuals.
7 - A Solid Experience with Flaws
A 7-rated anime has everything they'd need to be attractive to genre fans, perhaps too many minor issues to stand out universally. Watchable, pleasant to those who like the genre but not to all viewers. Sometimes a 7 would have been really good in most ways but was pulled down by some single big flaw.
6 - The Borderline Show
A bad rating given to shows that are not quite good enough to recommend. Fun to watch, maybe, but it has problems with important parts of either production quality, speed, or story. Preferably, it's only the biggest fans of this type of show that will really appreciate it; most viewers might find it not that impressive.
5 - The Struggle to Enjoy
A score of 5 would indicate that the show was subpar in either basic production or storytelling. This is specifically for those anime that have issues in pacing, storytelling, or animation. These shows are hard to watch and tough to suggest, even to genre fans.
4 - A Memorable Disappointment
4 points: some general serious problems leave a bad taste in your mouth. The shows made this way are of a quality that stays in our heads - and for all the wrong reasons. Even when I finish watching them, they remind me of what makes the anime experience less fun.
3 - The Absolute Lowest
A 3 rating on the scale is absolute worst for an anime. It's for those few shows that fail utterly. It is one of those shows that are memorable; unfortunately, for reasons which render it nearly impossible to watch. Only a few that had a very strong negative effect end up here.
