PrivateJoe's Rating System
My ratings are determined by evaluating the animation/drawing quality, plot, originality, character development, themes, and messages of the anime/manga. As an unbiased reviewer, I don't adjust or boost scores based on genre or personal preference. Personal preferences only influence my top anime/manga list. Unrated status may result due to having watched the anime too long ago to rate it, the series still ongoing, or the work's uniqueness.
10 = Sㅤ(Original story, decent to excellent animation, thought-provoking themes, interesting dialogue, good character development, and memorable moments. Only has one or two bad episodes at most) 9 = Aㅤ(Similar to a 10/10, but may have pacing issues, lack of worldbuilding, average animation, or unbelievable plot points in a serious anime) 8 = Bㅤ(Average to decent animation but may have pacing issues, lack of worldbuilding, incredibly unbelievable plot points, plot conveniences, lackluster comedy, or struggles to make you care about the characters) 7 = Cㅤ(Mediocre animation and/or an unengaging story. Also has the same cons as an 8 but twice as worse) 6 = Dㅤ(Terrible animation and/or a cliche story with several issues that makes it almost impossible to watch) ≤5 = Fㅤ(Dreadful animation to the point of looking like a slideshow. Awful story that makes you wish for your time back.)
PrivateJoe's Top 50 Anime/Manga
My rankings are dynamic and reflect both personal preferences and quality. I consider all entries on this list to be must-watches. If your favorite anime isn't on this list, it means I think it's garbage (sarcasm). Bolded/colored entries indicate all-time great status.
