Yui's awesome, but Golden Time Lover is one of the best OPs in any anime ever. So. Much. Hype.

Do it for her.
Some people (like Satie) just aren't meant to branch out of what they're good at, and i'd agree, his larger works and later stuff just isn't as good as where he started. I liked that he started out composing like a rebel though to go against the trends. Maybe losing that rebellious streak made that happen.
heretic!
Lupin (Lupin, Lupin, Lupin, Lupin) III Episode 1
Thought I'd give this a watch in preparation for the new series starting next month.
Pretty fun overall. I like the character designs a lot and its part of what drew me into blind buying Secret of Mamo.

Well, that first part is done better in the original series anyway.

Thats my second favorite one, though if I remember it kind of didnt fit in really with the feel of some of the episodes that it was used for similar to how the fourth ED (well its Scandal and they never do a bad song) felt awkward to the feel of the episodes.
Aha!
what anime is rated the worst on MAL?
It better be Iczelion or something horrible.

I liked it. *runs and hides*
Mars of Destruction has rating of 2.63. Don't know if there are some series with even worse scores though.

Have I told you today that you have exquisite taste in anime? Because you do.
It's one of my favorite Bones animu too.
More people need to watch The Mars Daybreak though
I only use a 7-10 scale on MAL. And sometimes a rare 5 or 6 if I watch an anime series that sucks just cause someone asked me to.

It was kind of lame. Amazing ED song though

I think Garzey's Wing is the lowest at 4.2. Yeah.
Other amusing scores;
Eiken - 5.2 (LOL WAT)
Glass Fleet - 6.7
Blood-C - 6.5
That's out of 10, not 100. In a test those would all be passing grades.

Be bold. Work a 1-4 ,10 scale. Everything inbetween should be left out.
Oh well. Maybe if I finish more bad shows then I will use the full scale. As it stands right now, I only watch shows that I enjoy with the rare exceptions of bad anime I watch at requests.
This would be hilarious, actually.
or rate all the shows people like bad and rate abysmal shows really well.

The troll review giving it 10/10 and it being a recommendation for people who like Evangelion is highly amusing.
I'm surprised AnimeGAF hasn't gotten in on this action alongside the usual School Days/Blood-C.
I saw some guy doing that one night. Everything popular he was just writing up terrible reviews and rating 1.

Will the world stop reminding me to start watching the Lupin films in my list?
I'm gettin' to 'em, Lupin! I'm gettin' to 'em!

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Daily Lives of High School Boys 10:
Once again, the Literary Girl skits just keep winning. She's so adorable and hilarious! XD The skit with the bike was pretty funny as well!
This show's great fun!

I stopped doing MAL ratings because it freed me from constantly thinking about what I was going to score something while watching it, but I'm kind of tempted to go through my list and do nothing but 10s and 0s so that my score for each show has more influence than that of the average person.

Lowest Ive given was a 4 and that was to some terrible special for yumeiro patissiere sp.
Otherwise I guess I stick to a 5-8 scale with a 10 only given like once every few seasons. Never score stuff I drop though.

I gave Dragon Crisis! a 3 and IS: Infinite Stratos a 4, what was I thinking? That's far too generous for Infinite Stratos.
Absolutely horrific. If you're going to troll, do it shows that are popular but are of questionable quality. Like say, Clannad or maybe K-ON!
I just finished reading the ending to the FMP novels and wow it really needs to get a animu adaptation. The rest of the material after Second Raid is amazing. So many insane things happen that have a high chance of causing shit storms. If it does not happen at least I have Sigma.
yeah started watching last night, wasn't sure if it was the first episode or not, didn't feel like it, no introduction of characters.
Lupin III Episode 1
what colour jacket is this, green?
has that 70s spy movie feel
Anybody who gives Only Yesterday a bad review is clearly trolling because they're aware it's the best Ghibli movie and want to troll people.
It's hard to take MAL and ANN scores seriously when you find out that shit taken straight from the depths of the ocean of diarrhea like Barom One and Demon Lord Dante are ranked at around ~5/10.
And all this time I thought that anime was just a made up joke, like Despera.
Mawaru-Penguindrum 2-5
The positive impression I got from the first episode is beginning to fade out.
I still love the presentation and the Kouba/Shouma duo, but it feels like we're going nowhere and OH MY GOD that Ringo girl is so fucking annoying.
Episode 4 with all those fairy tale-like segments had me cringing all over the place.

But episode 4 was fucking awesome fool.>:
If by awesome you mean annoying and predictable beyond acceptable levels, then yes, I agree.
He actually expected 60k or something crazy like that; then again, this is just first week...

Kemonozume 7
This show gives an uncommon amount of leeway to different directors and animators in how they realize their episodes. This one is no exception, as we get one of Osamu Kobayashi's trademark solo episodes, also present in TTGL and Dantalian. An early tipoff is this magazine cover:
which reminded me of the Paradise Kiss ED.
Kobayashi is known for directing episodes that feel out-of-place in the series as a whole, and even though Kemonozume is less uniform than most shows, that is still the case here. Kobayashi's jerky animation style (such as the distinctive way he animates lipflaps) and his reliance on very tight closeups makes the characters look static and the environments feel clostrophoic, even when the setting is supposedly open. The treatment of sexuality is more like the typical anime awkwardness and creepiness than the maturity the series has shown so far: Rei's breasts in one scene had a distinct Gainax bounce, and later on there was a breast size argument that could have come out of your average harem show. This isn't only the fault of the direction, but is also the fault of the script, which feels disjointed overall and bungles the chemistry between the characters. The scriptwriter has written a couple episodes already which were perfectly fine, so I'm not sure what went wrong. All in all, not my favorite episode.
There were some nice developments of the overall plot:

signs that Kazuma's Flesh Eater heritage is catching up with him, and a callback to the tracer Rei put on Toshihiko's jacket in episode 2
I noticed that as well, but whatever just means we get to go straight into the meat of the series.
So a Hunter x Hunter movie has been green-lit. Original story approved by Togashi.
Also I was wondering what all the posting was about, and you guys were arguing over ANN and MAL ratings? Really?

If you don't like Ringo (which is a sign of poor taste, but whatever), you're not going to like the first half of Penguin Drum when it's practically her show.
Huh. I assume this will be from the staff working on the current TV show? Probably won't turn out well.
