Luce_'s Profile - MyAnimeList.net (original) (raw)

Heya, nice to have you stop by. I watch anime every now and then like everyone else on here probably does. Typically only one at a time however, just so I can give it my full attention. My tastes don't discriminate and if something seems interesting, I'll probably watch it. The two main creeds I follow are:
1. Never drop any anime I've started.
2. Prioritise the shows with less users.

The reasoning behind the first point is that I enjoy masochism being able to fully articulate why I like or dislike something, and dropping something after a bad first episode does not offer the full picture, nor is it fair to the vision of the creators. The second point is mainly due to my belief that hype differs from actual quality, where the popular and accessible things naturally rise to the top while the more unfortunate and less marketed ones can't keep up. It is my lifelong duty to sift through the shit and find these hidden gems.

When I rate anime, I primarily do so based on the conceived notion of what the series is expected to do. I'm not docking points from Infinite Stratos, Hyakka Ryouran, or Sekirei for not having elaborate plots or eloquent storytelling. The respective 8s I've given to Soukou no Strain and Yuru Yuri thus do not correspond as the criteria I use to weigh together their ratings is entirely different from one another.

I have yet to find an anime that I rate 10/10 in any form. I've also only given out a handful ratings of 9. Perhaps one day I will find the masterpiece that surpasses everything else I've seen.
