I must admit to adopting blissmo’s approach. Except that I don’t review shows I like either, because no one’s seriously going to accept a ‘infinity/10, watch it, weakling’ rating for G Gundam.

You have permission to adopt my grading system. Three degrees of good and three degrees of bad. It’s intuitive, informative, and arousing, if I do say so myself.

I’m with Zyl, I prefer to ramble and then summize at the end.

It’s hard to keep the math straight, always second-guessing whether you’re going to get a number wrong and accidentally imply that you thought To Love-Ru was better than RahXephon (unlikely, but still…).

obviously an anime will not go bust based on a zero-star review in a western blog, but this insightful little article is a good read.

But different people will find different systems work better or worse for them.

I prefer to ramble rather than to assign quantitative scores or indicators. Which is why I like the explanation parts of your reviews BESTO. Reviews are always subjective but expressing that subjectivity explicitly tends to make for more interesting reading.
