If you're here after reading one of my reviews, congrats, because they are basically just needlessly lengthy rants about how disappointed I was. Still, I appreciate if you made it to the end, hope it wasn't a complete waste of time <3

After years on MyAnimeList, this is how my brain is wired when it comes to ratings:

1/10 = Appalling
2/10 = Horrible
3/10 = Very bad
4/10 = Bad
5/10 = Average (For very forgettable shows/movies that are not remarkable in any way. I don't necessarily regret watching it, but my life would've been the exact same had I not.)
6/10 = Fine
7/10 = Good
8/10 = Very good
9/10 = Great
10/10 = Masterpiece (Writing, acting, cinematography, music... there's nothing that needs to be changed. This is art to its purest form.)

It's impossible to be 100% objective and get rid of all biases, but I try to as much as possible whenever I rate something. Even my favorite shows usually don't get a 10/10, and those I didn't enjoy much sometimes get good ratings anyway. I have actors and actresses I like, but it doesn't change how I rate. If it was bad then that's that, whether there's someone I like in it or not. I also often come back to re-rate things a few weeks after I completed them (sometimes even months after, it can always be re-adjusted as I watch new things.)

If you believe that critiquing or questioning the acting, writing, directing, editing of a show/movie; or highlighting plot holes and inconsistencies is nitpicking and means someone's a hater: you shouldn't be here. We won't get along. Media literacy has suffered enough.

Getting emotionally attached to characters that are bound to die is my personal curse
