Ironically, MAL’s rating system got tiring for me, so I started reviewing shows on my Red vs Blue profile, but I am trying to create a rating system that I borrowed from you. So as you start your new idea on reviewing, I’m using the old system, but I’m trying to tweak it so that I can make it as accurate as possible.

I do agree that there is no use reviewing the bad shows. Hell, I tried to suffer through Kanokon so that I could give it the bad review it deserves, but after Ep 9, I just had to give up.

The SCPS idea is awesome though. Ironically again, I can’t really come up with much for animation and sound when I wrote that Tower of Druaga and Moetan (that one finished subbing recently, and it was decent to me) review, so I just combined the two as well. Characters and the Story are the two most important aspects in a work of fiction anyway (in my opinion).

Enough rambling from me, need to see your HOLICKei and Amatsuki reviews…

Your making me count stars! I had to stick my cursor on and highlight across so that I didn’t lose count!

I would disagree with the idea of scoring individual episodes as the point of a score is aid people in deciding whether they should watch something or not. While this is useful with first episodes and reviews, someone who is following a series is probably not going to skip one episode just because someone gave it a bad score.

Don’t go listening to people who want to force their own standards on you just because they’re used to it somewhere else - unless you, and only you, really WANT to change the rating system, don’t bother.

However, I think the four sections - Characters, Setting, etc. are a good idea.

But when it comes to numbers and stars, I don’t think it’s so useful. I only glance at your rating, it’s what you write that’s most important.
On top of that, I think the Star Rating system is redundant. It’s just a load of symbols that only manage to differentiate slightly. They don’t really have much significance unless all your series are compared together, in which case your percentage system works fine.

Don’t fix what isn’t broken, I say. But this little categorical summary is not a bad idea should you choose to use it.

Autonomous Monster: that was indeed my dilemma: there are indeed enough bad series, but if a series is bad, then there’s a very small chance that I’ll actually finish to be able to review it. In the system I suggested above, the amount of series for each category seems about right.

You see this problem everywhere actually. In games, for example, anything that is even remotely playable get 70%+. That’s ridiculous. You’re cramming 90% of items into the top 30% of the scale.

I would support a scale like;

-10: Utter garbage
-5: Watchable
0: Average/Decent
+5: Good
+10: Classic

Actually, a ten/eleven point (-5 through +5) scale would probably be good enough. Just so long as, y’know, you use the entire scale. Keep enough room to differentiate between the merely excellent and the true classic that will stand the test of time.
