Well I'm not quite as into the fandom as I used to be but I still enjoy watching the occasional anime or picking up a new manga.
If anyone has any recommendations feel free to send them my way~
Also my list may not mesh with yours as well since I really tried to take the grading seriously based off of MAL's 1-10 scale. Scoring wise I think I'm just harsher than most.
10 - Masterpiece
I really only put the anime/manga that I really really enjoyed here and that I thought were extremely well done and unique in their own way.
9 - Great
Again I only wanted to put anime/manga here that I thought were great. These are still my favorite shows but perhaps they had a couple episodes that weren't all that great, or didn't do anything that pushed them to masterpiece in my mind.
8 - Very Good
If something is very good it's definitely still worth seeing and recommending. These anime/manga are just above the crop and are really enjoyable. On the verge of greatness even.
7 - Good
I'd recommend a good show. I'll watch a good show. And I'll enjoy a good show. Still wishing it did a bit more but still awesome for what it was.
6 - Fine
These anime/manga are still all pretty much good, but they just left something more to be desired than my 7's.
5 - Average
If something is average it's typically hit or miss with people. It's also got its good and bad moments and honestly I think most anime falls in the average category. It's rare when you find an anime that really doesn't have that block of bad episodes or a few contrived plot lines. For me being average is still good though. I still enjoyed these shows for the most part, they just weren't above average in any way.
------------------In my mind 5+ is good so lets get to the few bad scores I have~
4 - Bad
This kinda explains it all, the show was just bad. I think shows that I've given a 4 to probably had a few good moments but the bad outweighed them all.
3 - Very Bad
These are the kinda shows where looking back I'm not sure how I even finished. They were boring and terrible. Perhaps they had some appeal at one point but now I just don't know.
2 - Horrible
Again I'm not sure how any of these are even watchable. I think the only way you could have a 2 is if you dropped the anime/manga or if it was really short (a movie, oneshot, 6 ep anime, etc.) Or if you're like me and watched a movie as a little kid only to rewatch it and realize how terribly it has aged. Nostalgia is not always something to revisit.
1 - Unwatchable
Pretty much only for things you've dropped on the first 3 episodes or first volume imo. The material has to be so bad that you literally can't even force yourself to watch/read it on a bet. So far I have nothing in this category~
So anyways~ even if I gave your favorite show a 6 it's mostly because I'm a harsh critic and think that things should fit in this 1-10 scale. I still think we can recommend each other things though~

1-2 → why did I even start start this?
3-5 → extremely bad
6-7 → average, probably cliche, or just okay / didn't connect with it
8 → interesting, but has some flaws or is missing something
9 → Amazing, but lacking that special something to make it a 10
10 → Amazing
And I think you should start to read HotD. The anime was pretty faithful to the manga, so picking it up where the anime left off shouldn't be a problem. Be warned, the mangaka for HotD is supposed to release chapters every other month, but it's usually every 3-4 months...As for Deadman Wonderland, I think it was pretty faithful...I've only seen basically the intro episodes for the anime. There is more of a plot towards the end though.
And this is kinda late, but welcome to MAL!
Admittedly though, I haven't really looked that hard for it.
The plot was definitely all over the place but I would say the opposite; I think the plot's twisting and turning was one of the best things about it. The way you could never be certain whether what was happening was a dream, a hallucination or reality... Although, I admit that they did take it a bit too far towards the end.
Ghost in the Shell has some issues with the storyline, and a lot of things aren't really explained... the viewer is just left to connect the dots themselves. I am not sure whether that is something that I like or dislike about it, but I still love the film as a whole.
It's what got me started on anime in the first place, and I've seen it... hmm, probably 5 times now, and I'm still not bored of it.
Anyway... I saw your rec thread and I posted some suggestions for you. Aoi Hana and Kare Kano. If you decide to watch either of them, would you mind telling me what you think of them? I'd love to hear your thoughts on them.
And last but not least, love your profile picture. I have only seen about 4 episodes of Spice and Wolf, but it seems like a great show. I've been meaning to watch the rest, but I haven't really gotten a chance to pick it up yet.
Such a boring day I have had. Just nothing to do, I have studied a bit but that's all.
