@Niar:
How can this be an (flawed) masterpiece? It was only funny in the first 3 episodes.
The rating on the others series are pretty much reasonable.
I didn't rate Ouran purely on comedy, though I found it continued to be funny for three episode periods before reigning in an un-funny one (aggregating about 1/4 of the episodes that were unfunny/dragging/repetitive) - Ouran is both a shoujou manga and a parody of shoujo manga, so what it did (in anime form) shoujo-wise was exceptionally good, with excellent production values that didn't take away from the show.
As far as Masterpiece ratings go, they're the same as Outstanding but I run "what bad things can I say about this show" - if I can't say anything bad, it gets a Masterpiece, if I can say 1-2 things bad it's Flawed. Anything more than that gets Outstanding, which is (basically) my highest rating. It's like the distinction between Cardinals, Bishops and Popes in the Roman Catholic Church; the Pope is basically a Cardinal, Cardinals are basically Bishops/Archbishops. But there's more prestige added.
That list is only as far as anime goes, though. My manga list is smaller but I weight it evenly with anime.
"Good" ratings are "enjoyable, re-watchable, but have problems" and "Mediocre" "enjoyable, not re-watchable, but have problems". Poor titles are "weak anime", Atrocious "weak + insulting" and the latter two "what good things can I say about this show" - if I can't say anything good, it gets a Travesty, if I can say 1-2 things good it's Flawed. Anything more than that stays at Atrocious.
@Dragon:
Don't know jack about this show, but I just downloaded the first opening and it is sick. Can the actual show win me over? I'll give it a look on Saturday if I can.
First opening, "Colours" was excellent. A pity every Geass OP after that has sucked horribly!
@captain:
btw, your list has some good stuff on there. other stuff should be rated higher, and others, I don't understand why they are on there. I mean, nothing on your list sucks, but some are not that good either. just my opinion there, i guess.
Any particulars?
