Anime genres I like: psychological, yuri, magical girls, unique SOL, iyashikei, anything with good character depth
Anime genres I'll watch on occasion: (straight) romance, BL, mecha (rarely), hentai (not listed here)
Anime genres I tend to avoid unless they are highly recommended to me: military, most harems, shounen action


I will not rate a show a 10 unless it has had a strong positive impact on my life or changed the way I think about things.
9 means perfection, but doesn't have the impact that 10s do.
8 is near perfection, but has flaws.
7 means I mostly enjoyed it, but there were flaws and (mostly minor) annoyances.
6 means I found it okay, but nothing special. I could, however, see someone enjoying it.
5 is really mediocre, but doesn't cross the line into trash. Many shows I'd rate this get dropped before I finish them .

Below 5 is fairly rare. On most occasions, any show heading in that direction will be dropped. Here are the exceptions:
-shows I watched a long time ago (12+ years ago) when I watched pretty much all anime that were thrown at me to completion. These were the days when I was more open to experiment with different genres. Ah, to be young and have that kind of time again...
-shows I watched because a friend absolutely insisted they'd "get better later", but they never improved
-short anime (like movies, OAVs, or short episode shows) that I watched all the way through because I was bored or because I needed a laugh
-shows I sat through because I wanted to watch the much better sequel. As in "if I don't watch season 1, season 2 will make no sense"

These days, my tastes are pretty set in stone. Since almost anything that is going to get a 5 or under will get dropped, you will see a lot of 6s and 7s.
