It looks like I've triggered an algorithm that has identified me as someone who consistently tries to manipulate the percentages either up or down. Oh, well.....

I try to add enlightening commentary, but let's face it:
I'm far from perfect.

    EDIT: 2020-12-31
    I have seen two three videos that examine the concept of "classics" from distinctly different perspectives:
  1. Gigguk | Garnt Maneetapho

  2. Mother's Basement | Geoff Thew

  3. Bonsai Pop | Mike ?
EDIT: 2020-04-11
In this video YouTube user Gigguk (Garnt Maneetapho) talks about SAO in the context of gateway anime.
    2 Videos That Share a Common Theme:
  1. "The Greatest Thing Anime Has Done"|Gigguk (Garnt Maneetapho)
  2. "A Love Letter to a Place Further than the Universe" | Isla McTear (Line/link added 2020-06-24)

Howl's Moving Castle (movie) Excellent (dub & sub)
HYOUKA (TV) Masterpiece (dub & sub)
For a very personal reason that relates to the last scene of the last episode, I have rated this at 11/11; also, the Funimation dub is very good. I have to give props to the series for using classical music for so much of its OST; also, I very much enjoyed Yasashisa no Riyuu by Choucho. There are still more links I need to post......
I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying (TV) Masterpiece
Episodes ten and thirteen demand that you watch this series! No dub.
I want to eat your pancreas (movie) Masterpiece
The film starts out like Grave of the Fireflies; it tells you how it will end; but not the journey to that ending.
The legacy of Sakura Yamauchi lives on in the newly-formed relationship between Haruki Shiga and Kyōko.
That being said, I completely misunderstood the epilogue; Haruki Shiga and Kyōko are not and will not become romantically involved. I missed the clue about the reference to the gum. I can be so clueless.
I''s (OAV) Decent
I''s Pure (OAV) Good
I'm Quitting Heroing (TV) Masterpiece
    ↕
  1. ranking/voting
  2. No dub as of 2022-6-30
  3. The reason that I rated this at 11/11 (Masterpiece) is because of the evolution of the character of Leo as shown through the flashbacks and internal monologues.

I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level (TV) Masterpiece (dub & sub)
  • Enjoyable as long as you don't take it too seriously......
  • On the other hand, when the rabbit girl sang at that venue, I did cry.
In This Corner of the World (movie) Masterpiece (dub & sub)
↓
  • Was Christmas REALLY a thing in 1933 Japan? (Con)
  • In spite of the aforementioned con, I am rating this at 11/11 because of the tragedy.
  • The dub is remarkably good.....
↔
Interlude (OAV) Good
Inuyasha (TV) Decent
InuYasha: The Final Act (TV) Decent
InuYasha: The Tragic Love Song of Destiny (special) Good
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (TV) Very good
