Hello again anyone who might be reading this on the weird chance you find this blog. I am almost ready to start writing some reviews now that my school schedule has calm down a bit. This is just a post to finalize how I rate shows and my likes and taste to understand the list better. So first let me talk about my tastes in anime
If I had to rank what I like/want to watch it would be like this.
-slice of life, cute
-drama, suspense
-action/adventures
-romcoms, harems
-music based shows
-others
I would like to think my favorite genre is action or drama but if I have to be honest with myself I probably do like the cute stuff a lot. Now it is not like I am crazy about moe anime, I do think that my tastes in general and the shows I watch now are very balanced. I do not just watch one genre of show I try to stay open minded and watch anything that looks interesting to me regardless of what it is... I mean that is what I think I do but I think that previous statement is true. So I think as long as you understand what I like you will understand my list a little more.
Now last thing, I have my grade scale down for sure. Here it is:
F (Bad, I didn't like it)
D (Few positives, lots of issues with show)
C (Okay, decent shows, might of been boring but was enjoyable to me)
B (Pretty good, some issues, maybe they might be petty, but overall good and fun when I watched)
A (Very Good, personal favorites, pretty memorable to me, maybe one or two things bad to me but these shows I love)
S (Best shows I have seen, problems I can over look, My favorites overall)
From lowest to Highest:
F-,F,F+
D-,D,D+
C-,C,C+
B-,B,B+
A-,A,A+
S,S+
I think this kind of scale will let me show more differences in terms of grade and will make it so that I do not give many shows the same grade ( I believe in a scale of 1-5, there would be too many shows that share ratings, thus the differences in my opinions my not show). Also just a side not I will not put Yu Yu Hakusho in my list because I watched that in high school so I do not really remember much from it so I do not think I could give a decent review (but it would probably be ranked around 30-40). Anyways I should start the list soon, some time this week. I might start this list while the last episodes of the Winter 2016 anime air but as I mentioned in the last post I do not think my opinion will change that much in one episode, and if it some how does I will edit the list and post and mention it.
Okay I think I covered everything I wanted to.... anyways I hope you enjoy the list. Feel free to comment on any post... Oh one more thing, I will watch shows while I do the list but I wont include them once I start. I will just write about it separate from the list. Enjoy ^_^

How its rated?
Hello again if you saw the previous post then you know what I intend to do for this blog. I want to rank all the anime I have watch (not including movies or shorts) so that I can just let out my opinions. Anyways there needs to be a format or a criteria that I use for the shows. That is what this post is about today.
So how does it work?
I will use a 5 point rating and this is how it is broken down:
Opening/ending: (I feel like when it comes to anime the opening/ending themes and animation define the show a lot so I believe it is an important aspect of the show. It won't make or break the show but I appreciate a good opening/ending).
Animation: (I am in no way a big expert on animation in any way... I am actually a terrible drawer... anyways animation is important as well, I mean that is the appeal of anime, the drawing and animation and how real everything can look).
Story/Characters: (This is will include anything about the story, plot, premise, plot holes, conclusion, flow and all other story related aspects. I believe that characters are connected to how the story is so I consider them in the same vain. Characters include the depth and develop I believe they have or not, likability, the design of the character, and other character related aspects.... This category is pretty general to be honest. I will though, one of the most important parts of a show is the theme and lesson at the end. This has to to be one of the most important aspects of a show to me, the lesson at the end).
Enjoyment: (How fun or enjoyment it was to watch. Some times the story or animation will not be up to par but the show overall could be lots of fun which could help make up for weaker spots... a quick example would be... One Punch Man, I do not think it has the best or most interesting story but the pure fun and enjoyment really makes it great and lets me not focus on the story shortcomings in my opinion.... I guess you already know how I kind of feel about One Punch Man.... that will be on the list obviously).
Different genres of shows will also have different aspects focused on.... So what I mean when I say that is an action anime like.... Attack Titan, will be graded on all those categories (OP/ED, animation, story/characters, enjoyment) equally. But a slice of life anime like... K-ON!, will have a bigger focus on enjoyment than story in reviewing because slice of life anime usually do not have in depth stories to begin with (that is not to say that the story does not matter in a slice of life show but I have more of an understanding on why slice of life have basic stories and why it is not as important to factor in). I don't know if that explanation was confusing so feel free to comment and ask me about my grading scale if you have any misunderstandings.
Also, just a reminder that this is my ranking and opinion. Obviously it will not be how you would think or rank them or who knows maybe you have the same opinions as I do. But these are my opinions on how good or bad an anime was. If you have any thoughts feel free to comment and discuss about what you agree or disagree on.
I am also open to any or all criticisms of my post, rankings, and blog. If you do not agree with a ranking comment on the post. If you do not like my writing style or my grammar is bad, feel free to comment. If you do not like the how the blog is formatted or the color of it or anything that appears on this blog, whether it is directly related to the main content or not, feel free to comment. I am open to any and all criticisms of my anything that appears on this blog. I would like to improve while I do this so any comments will be welcomed!
Well I think this is enough for one post. I think I will start the rankings maybe next week but definitely by the 26 of March. I will include anime from the winter 2016 season (I believe how I feel about the shows will stand by the time when it finishes and I do not expect any huge changes of my opinions... unless something REALLY stupid happens in some shows but again I do not expect any changes and if I do, then I will edit the post and update it with my opinions). But yeah that is it for now I hope someone out there will enjoy the content that will come soon (maybe in a week, lots of midterms and papers to finish....) But I am getting excited about this so I hope it is good! See ya!

What is This?
Hello if you found this blog then yay! welcome :3
But what is this blog about? Well I like to watch anime mainly and I would like to get my thoughts out about the shows I watch because my friends do not watch as much as I do. I might throw in some random thoughts here and there in between. About me, I am a 22 year old senior at SJSU studying communication studies. I guess the first thing I will do is rank my anime that I watch. After the end of the winter season I would have watched anime for a whole year. There will be around 80 different titles (excluding movies or shorts) that I have seen since I started watching anime as a hobby and a fan so I guess I'll do that ranking soon.
So things about this blog and the rankings:
1. I am not striving to be super critical and analytical. I mean, I do want to take my reviews seriously but I am not going to dive in too much and I will mostly be general in my statements and review. So do not expect anything super in depth. I just want to express my opinions and say what I think.
2. That does not mean I do not take any criticism to anything on the blog post. If you have an issue or opinion about my statements, format, style, blog layout, really ANYTHING that comes from this blog please express it in the comments and I'll discuss them with my reasoning :).
Anyways if I remember anything in the future I will write it in a post. Anyways if anyone sees this I hope you enjoy my future content... Hopefully.
