Welcome to my profile. Feel free to send me a friend request anytime, I usually accept them. Any criticism is welcome too.

Also, my scores change occasionally.

--------------------------

--------------------------

Explaining my scores:

Something important to note: even if I give a series a low rating, it doesn't mean I don't like it. I'm going to loosely copy-paste my friend's own criteria because it's basically the same as mine:

10= Masterpiece. Perfect, for all practical purposes. That said, some flawless manga or anime don't even get 10s because of a lack of depth. As a general rule, 10s must be unique and engaging, have subtle and profound themes, be innovative and original, be devoid of plot holes, not use overly-convenient plot devices, have complexity, have quality characters, have trajectory, and have masterful expositions and resolutions. Pure comedy or entertainment with no deeper profundity (note the emphatic redundancy) can never be a 10. I am also less likely to give a sequel a 10, because they usually require prior knowledge and therefore cannot stand on their own feet.

9= Still one of the best. May not have any overt flaws, but just be a little short on some of the requirements to be a 10. I believe that, as infinities can be larger than or smaller than one another, there can be things that are more or less perfect.

8= Great. I still consider many anime/manga I give an 8 to be among the best. As a general rule, I don't give anything that I'm not caught up on, or isn't finished, more than an eight.

7= Good. Enjoyable. Recommended. This is usually as high as a series devoid of originality or innovation can get. For instance, the Star Wars trilogy is a 7 at best. (It's actually more of a 5 overall. And that number is lowered when we consider the sequels.) The same applies to any formula that has already been rehashed and perfected, of course. A great deconstruction of a perfected formula, on the other hand, is welcome, assuming it does not tread the same ground as previous works. The imperfect pioneer or founder of a formula is held to different standards.

6= Fine. Whatever. I still enjoy some series that I give this rating, but they were too flawed to call good.

5= Mediocre. Decent to halfway decent overall. Could have had some good parts that were neutralized by bad parts. Maybe a bit too boring. Maybe a bit too common.

4= Not quite there. Usually could have been decent if they didn't mess up. Sometimes halfway decent.

3= Bad. Would need to be completely changed to be good or even fine. It would need to have better action, less generic characters, a more engaging plot, less repetition, and a more original or better executed ideas/themes, etc. So it would need to be a completely different anime pretty much.

2= Very, very bad. Worthless except for one or two saving graces that kept it from a 1. These saving graces are not aspects could be considered good, but only less bad. Would need to be completely changed to even be halfway decent.

1= Atrocity.

Well it is very atmospheric, but I found the constant comedy to be annoying. Fights are common and they aren't very good and the first half has almost none of the main plot involved in the episodic format. Those episodeic stories by themself were hit or miss for me. In the second half we are getting into the main plot so that will tell me whether its a 6 or a 7 for me.

Hope that answers your question and have a great day.

haha thanks, i think most people who agree with me generally dont express it by liking my review and would just read it, agree, and move on. however, people who disagree with me and like the anime are more likely to have a more extreme impulse to dislike my review because it doesnt reflect their own beliefs which is also fine. though recently it seems more people have become influenced into thinking that if its a big title of course it will mean its a good anime without much thought.

I suck at writing essays.

banba_84 Mar 10, 6:23 AM

Maybe I will try to watch that anime when I have free time. I rarely watch ecchi anime anymore. Maybe it can be a new watch.

banba_84 Mar 7, 10:02 PM

I've heard the title of the anime, but I've never watched it. Do you think it's good?

banba_84 Mar 6, 8:22 PM

I'm looking forward to it.

That is one savage Solo Leveling review. Thanks for the motivation.

Ryuseishun Jan 12, 8:39 AM

Unfortunately I didn’t. The comedy just didn’t click for me at all. Plus I don’t find any of the characters particularly interesting.

Phjsh Nov 12, 2024 9:49 PM

no wonder why bros solo leveling review got deleted. the series definitely didn't warrant that much hate. don't understand why people go out of their way to bash a series like that in general honestly

Ryuseishun Oct 14, 2024 6:46 PM

Yea I think Cour 2 was definitely the weakest so far, I had my own share of issues with it. As a whole, though, I agree, Kubo has really put his foot down in the production of the TYBW adaptation even given whatever limitations he and the staff do still have. The most recent bits of juice content regarding the Soul King was arguably the best example so far.

Ryuseishun Oct 14, 2024 5:06 PM

Oh yea, for sure. Especially after the excessively disappointing conclusions with the likes of the MHA and JJK manga. I honestly blame the current manga industrial standards for such embarrassing flops like those.

I’ve grown to love Bleach more nowadays especially after I reread the manga well before TYBW started its broadcast. Reading into others’ analysis in the form of writeups or videos really benefited me, too.

Ryuseishun Oct 12, 2024 8:40 PM

Random, but glad to know you also enjoy Bleach quite a lot, it seems. Honestly something I didn't expect.
