My mean is 6.8, but I don't watch everything every season. If I did it would be much lower
Or samurai pizza cats! Lol why did they dredge that shit up?
Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm: 6
This was actually a pretty good episode with the entertaining race. Misaki is about to have a tough time, to find out Shindou wasnt taking the match with her serious at all then to see him being pushed to his limits by Asuka who is still a newbie is going to have her feeling bitter.

my objective opinion.
Rakugo show got better over time. Best OP this season and easily the most thoughtful and well designed thing airing right now. The sound work is really poor though, and it can really undermine where the show's at spatially.

Mine is 7.63, how is yours so high?!
Out of curiosity what are the three 1's?

If I would rate something 6 or below I'm likely to drop it or not watch it in the first place. I'm not going to live a long enough life to waste it on things I don't enjoy.

Might be because I instead of watching and rating shit shows, I drop the after 3 episodes and delete them from my list.
I don't delete them if I've watched more than 3 episodes and decide to drop it.
I also started watching anime this may so I only have a relatively small sample size and it's not my main hobby, that would be gaming(Well it was, mostly buy games without playing them nowadays)
Also here's my score distribution:
So as you can see, really small sample size.
Just finished HxH, so some recommendations on anime that isn't from seasons after may 2015 would as always be nice!

I caught up on Prince of Stride and watched the latest episode of Rakugo, but I don't have the time to write impressions.
Then I will assume they revolutionised the anime industry, moe is dead and we are heading towards a future of imaginative, exciting shows.

I leave dropped shows on my MAL profile (in the "Dropped" section), but I don't rate them.
There's a lot of anime that fits that criteria! Do you have any particular kinds of anime you'd like to see to help narrow down the selection?
Yep, cute girls are dead; it's all about cute boys now.

Guess the live action movie succeeded?

Finally, I wonder how it will compare to the recent movie that at least caused the manga to keep on selling well for many many weeks.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (Subtitled) Episode 39 Great Detective Thunder Versus the Dark Scorpion Burglars
Great Detective Manjoume always does great things for this anime. Even when things may start to feel somewhat down or have the potential to drag he shows up to give us great comedy and great action. Ah and as usual some excellent scenes with Juudai.
The bandits were good too and I hope they have recurring roles, especially Chick. It was so obvious who did it anyway.

Not really, I watch most things.
I like good shonen, like HxH and FMA:B and I do enjoy mystery shows proportionally a bit too much.
But I can't say I don't enjoy some SoL from time to time, but I often do one at a time otherwise it becomes a bit too much and I'm already watching Nichijou.
My 4 10/10s are Spirited away (My childhood favourite movie), HxH, Shinsekai Yori and monogatari SS if that tells anything about what I think is masterpieces.
Really it shouldn't be too hard to suggest anything to me, I have a pretty general taste of anime liking most of the stuff I watch from a multitude of genres, not including the dull generic seasonal LN shonen because those got boring painfully fast.
Just finished Steins Gate and mostly enjoyed it quite a bit.
All the time travelling was confusing (as time travel usually is) but it was still fun.
However I feel certain characters could easily have been cut for the betterment of the series.
Faris and Ruka I am looking at you......

Dennou Coil
Baccano
Samurai Champloo
Fate/Zero
Madoka Magica
Steins;Gate
Daily Lives of High School Boys
you probably already saw some of these but whatever you haven't, you should
Ruka and Faris arcs were
heartbreaking though, they really added to the intense final arc and moments
My means at 7.10
To be honest I thought it'd be a lot lower than that but I don't watch a lot of shows (Only clocked about 70) and I rated 15 shows with a 9 or 10 effecting the average. Guess that's what bumped it up.
No clue about the source material but I think I saw it have quite decent sales already.
lol
Looks orange to me !
If it's shounens you desire than outside of your usual Jojo rec, you might also see if Saint Seiya; Lost Canvas tickles your fancy.
I agree with this. I've watched shows that I'd rate poorly but this mostly happens because I actually liked it at first and then I got disappointed. I don't understand how someone would have many shows with scores below 5, let alone shows rated with 1 or 2.
On the other hand, I haven't completed many animes and I still want to watch quite a lot, so I guess some people are practically done with older stuff and just watch animes out of boredom....
I'm actually starting Steins;Gate episode 1 right now and Samurai Champloo has been on my PTW forever.
Adding the rest to my PTW now though, cheers!
Same here
I found them both too obnoxious to be honest.
They felt like weird fetish characters that somehow fell out of a portal from a different series.
Their side stories would be decent if they weren't both so damn annoying.

Osomatsu body pillow covers could be more exciting. Second time a series has done one where characters are showing barely any skin, and it could have been idol design Also its over priced. (~$140) (unless the second side is different)

Well, that still leaves a lot of stuff open, but here's a few suggestions to check out:
Gankutsuou (really well done adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo, given a sci-fi setting)
Genius Party (fascinating anthology of short films)
Lupin III: The Castle of Caligostro (Hayao Miyazaki's first feature film)
Master Keaton (the adventures of a globe-trotting jack of all trades)
Mononoke (period supernatural psychological mystery horror)
That's just a couple stuff from the top of my head, but if you're looking for more stuff you can check out my MAL list; anything rated 7 or above I would readily recommend.
I'm going to recommend you Gundam Build Fighters again if you're looking for good shonen and haven't watched it yet. There's no prior Gundam knowledge required.
It also has a really hype soundtrack.
Oh right, I should probably note that it's second season Try isn't as good.

Hmm since you enjoy mystery and unsurprisingly listed SSY as a 10/10 I'm recommending you to check out Dennou Coil. It's pretty much excellent all around with a well developed setting and mysteries. Might seem like a show aimed at children at first, especially since the protagonists are younger teens, but that's not really the case.
As characters they didn't stand strong I suppose, I didn't mind them at the time of my viewing.
I can understand Fayris but I didn't find Ruka anywhere near annoying.
Hm, I've gotta watch these too, thanks. Only got around to watch Castle of Cagliostro.
I watched one episode of Mononoke a long time ago, should get back to it.

What's the feeling on Guilty Crown around here?
I added it when you told me last time
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be checking out them.
Mononoke seems pretty interesting to say the very least.
One more for Dennou Coil, seems like that will be the next from my PTW to get watched then.

Here's my whole MAL if you want to keep suggesting and have a hard time knowing what I've watched and not watched.
Mine. I thought my mean would be a bit lower.
These are all good but I'd add Tatami Galaxy to the list of essentials.
I still need to watch it, but basically everyone everywhere has the same conclusion on it:
It's the biggest waste of potential in anime.
hosannainexcelsis

Potential? Who thought Guilty Crown had potential? Except perhaps as a Cross Ange-style trainwreck.
Actually Dennou Coil was quite deliberately aimed at children; Mitsuo Iso thought the general quality and intelligence level of children's TV was too low, and so he desired to create something better for them.

I don't think anybody (DTL aside) likes Guilty Crown. I don't mean just here, I mean like, everywhere.
I haven't heard one single thing positive about Guulty Crown anywhere.
You'd be better off watching Code Geass instead.
I added it when you told me last time
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be checking out them.
Haha, I just wasn't sure if you'd noticed it.
I liked Guilty Crown.
But yeah, Code Geass takes priority.

Promising staff. Is there any synopsis for this?
Interesting. I agree with that sentiment.
Show's like this from my youth were appropriate for children and still handled serious topics well. Gotta say though, Dennou Coil gets a tad too technical with it's pretty vast terminology and mechanics concerning the AR world. I had to scratch my head a couple of times, especially since it just kept getting more dense along the way. I'd wonder if children could follow the plot along well.

Wikipedia:
The manga is complete in five volumes and available on Crunchyroll if people want to check it out.

Its in my top 5 list of best anime ever so it is an animated classic. Definitely check it out.
Redjuice character designs, EGOIST and SAWANO music, and stunning production values, with a touch of Yuuki Kaji and epic sci-fi action. It has everything that an anime needs.

Sounds interesting if it's actually well written. Always gotta be wary of (sorta) time travel stories.

This is why I love you guys...
Someone mentioned it to me and it has a pretty good MAL ranking (I know, I know), but I have a ton of stuff in my backlog right now...
