I only rate animes that I've seen all of. For this reason, things like DBZ and Naruto will never be on this list. I refuse to watch anything longer than 52 episodes.

10.0 does not necessarily denote a "perfect" anime.

9.0 - 10.0: *great* anime. These are quite rare.

8.0 - 8.9:  A respectable score. Recommended.

7.0 - 7.9:  Eh, average. Might be worth watching, might not. Animes at the very bottom of this range were possibly almost a 6.x, but had some sort of saving grace that barely brings them up to a 7.0.

6.0 - 6.9:  Bad. Avoid. Just plain boring.

Below 6.0:  Can be used as a torture device.


Due to not keeping this list since the beginning, there is a margin of error of approximately +/- 0.3 from what I would think of the anime after having just watched it. I may also later change my opinion of an anime and decide that I initally rated it too high or too low.

In general, the rating will be an average of sorts if some parts were better than others. However, for Abenobashi, I had to split it into two separate ratings because there's just too big of a difference between the two halves, making an average meaningless.

When two or more animes have the same rating, I try order them, with the marginally better one(s) on top.
