*************************************************TAGS EXPLANATION***********************************************
High 8, High 7, High 6, High 5, High 4
-The best among anime with the same scores (ex: High 8s are the best 8s)
-Could be equated with an added .5 to the score [ie: High 8=8.5] but are moreso the first thing
Very High 9(9.4)
- Simialr to the stuff above but renamed a bit for extra importantce
- Some of my personal favorites 9's that are on the verge of 10 territory
6/7/8/9/10
-The normal scores are given tags to make them easy to find.
-Equates to a plain ole "6 out of 10" or whatever the number is, and doesn't intersect with anime tagged with "High". (That would mean I have multiple scores for one anime)
Great OP/ED
-Displays how the OP/ED was good enough to capture my impatient ears and have me listen to it a few times.
-I honestly skip through about 98% of all anime OP/ED's, so if anyone got this tag, its bound to be pretty good.
-Obviously can't apply to Manga
From Anime
-A Manga List exclusive tag
-Means I watched the anime first and decided to read the manga
From Manga/VN
- I read the manga or VN of the anime to its completion before watching it, so I have been spoiled in a sense. (usually means I'll enjoy the anime less till I get to new stuff)
Together
-The together tag means I watched them together with a friend or wanna watch them together
Forgotten
(used in completed/dropped)
-I forgot a whole lot about the show.(Characters, big plot events, etc.) I can probably remember some random specifics and in general what it felt like to watch the show, but not too much.
Seasonal
-Shows that I'm watching/have watched an anime as it's episodes are being released weekly, only applies to tv series.
Comment
-A precursor tag before I give a comment.
[WATCHING TAGS]
Rewatching
-I'm currently rewatching the anime.
[PLAN TO WATCH TAGS]
Eventually
-The highest priority anime in my Plan To Watch List
-Stuff that I feel I need to watch sometime, someday.
Eventually 2nd
-Another level of priority for my PTW list below the original Eventually tag
Continuing
-Anime I decided to watch the sequels of, used to be higher priority than "Eventually" tag
Romance
-A PTW-exclusive tag for when I wanna watch some Romance anime
CA
-An Anime Plan To Watch exclusive tag that stands for Completed Adaptation
-It lets me know if an anime completely adapts it's source so I don't end up sore at the end that I have to read the manga/LN for the full story
-I base this tag off of whether the anime was finished after the manga/LN or not.
Original
-An Anime Plan to Watch exclusive tag that indicates that it is an original anime without being based on a manga, LN, VN or the like.
Nothing Else
-Originally indicated an anime in my plan to watch with no other tags.
-Now indicates an anime who's "priority" is below the two eventually tags.
[COMPLETED TAGS]
Wish for Completion
-Anime only tag that specifies anime I wish would get adaptations again so the story can be completed.
-It doesn't always mean I loved the anime, just that I'd like to see it's story fully and properly adapted.
-Pretty outdated in all honesty.
Rewatch
-Used on the completed list for anime I want to rewatch
Rewatched
-Marks completed anime that I have rewatched at least once
Confusion
-These are series that I couldn't really understand.
-Reasons are either my own lack of attention or me zoning out
-other reasons are the series poorly explaining/rushing things.
-Not all anime tagged with Confusion should be assumed to be bad series,
-Confusion does affect how I rate each series.
[ON HOLD TAGS]
Stalled
-Means I genuinely stopped halfway of my own volition
Ongoing
-For Manga that are still getting a chapter each week.
[DROPPED TAGS]
Repickup
-For stuff I dropped I wanna give another shot/revisit
Completed
-Not to be confused with the category of Completed anime/manga,
-a dropped exclusive tag that indicates I completed the anime.
-I mainly have this tag for anime I really don't remember and don't want to be
responsible for.
-The difference between forgotten and this tag is that I sorta want to remember the forgotten stuff, whereas for these "Completed" anime in dropped, I just don't care.
*******************************************How I score my anime/VN/manga:*****************************************
For me, Enjoyment>>>>>Story>=Character>>Art>>Sound
My scores are based primarily on my enjoyment.
Story and characters are self explanatory.
Some anime don't need one or the other, but they remain massively important.
Good art can make or break an anime at times.
Art and sound are arguably two of the more objective categories.
(Not entirely free of subjectivity mind you)
Sound is often icing on the cake more so than anything else.
It's good icing though, and I'm always down for a good OP/ED.
1 and 2
-Not going to be used since I already have enough flexibility with the High/Low tags
-Hopefully won't end up hating an anime/manga that much or that frequently
3
-The worst so far, also the aspects of 4 times 2
4
-Didn't enjoy watching, felt bored, skipped a lot, felt like I gained nothing
5
-Mixed feelings, don't love or hate em
6
-Far from my favorites, but not bad anime
7
-My "bread and butter" anime, anime that I feel pretty good about, but not able to say I really enjoyed them with conviction.
-Also some of the anime here are ones I have faint memories of since I probably didn't pay much attention/skipped through episodes.
-Where I start "liking" anime
-7 and up are rewatchable
8
-Start to feel confident in saying I enjoyed this anime
-Verrrry unlikely to forget about anime with these scores and up
-(More High 8's than 8's because of my weird conversion decisions)
-The transition point "liking" and "loving" anime
9
-Relatively easy watches for me
-Easy for me to talk about / harder to forget
10
-So much good, perspective altering, addicting, highly enjoyable, all of these at once.
-Something I feel like I can identify with
