I had a moment like this when I realized I gave Dragon ball Z like... an 8/10, changed it to a 6/10

I'd say it's fine if you enjoy what you watch. Taste is subjective after all, even if a series can be "objectively" good or bad, if you like/dislike it, that's your own opinion and it's fine having that.

For instance I've barely watched anything of the stuff you have completed - out of your 30 completed entries, I've only seen 3 of them. You gotta note that the things you mainly watch are also those rather long-running shounen series, especially stuff like Naruto (770 episodes), Dragon Ball and Hunter x Hunter.
Don't mind me,
just passing by...

Yes but I don’t really care.
(I have SAO S1 at a 9) <β€” Thats how bad my list is, but I rate stuff based on my enjoyment and I’m not going to drop scores just because of people saying how bad shows are.

Pretty sure that happens everytime you change your tastes and take a look back, although I personally don't really care about tastes anymore as long as it's not being attacked or forced to you or something like that

nah, most of the shows i give 9 or 10 are what most anime watchers think is good. if i change it just because people say they are bad, its probably because they made good points that I ignorantly overlooked

Nah, I'm masochistic enough to pride myself on stupid things.

But in all seriousness, yeah. I consider myself a pretty opinionated person. But even so, I ultimately end up down a rabbit hole of 'wow I gave this half-written nonsense a 9' (*cough*Gravitation*cough cough*)
I usually fluctuate a lot between scores, for anime I like and don't. I don't know man, my 'favourites' list makes me a bit embarrassed.

- Overall, depends on the day. Sometimes I genuinely do take a lot of pride in liking bad 2000's anime and other days I help but wonder how bad people judge me.
Well, except for Gravitation. I gave the damned thing a 9/10. It doesn't matter, it's the dumbest show I've ever watched and I can't seem to scrape up even the smallest reason as to why I find it so entertaining.

Taste is entirely subjective my friend. The list is there for your own personal use and opinions; you shouldn't give a shit if rating DBZ an 8/10 is deemed as casual-like lmao.

I don't find anything wrong with my list personally. Some people may not like it because of the high amount of shonen anime on my list. But that doesn't really matter to me. Some people may look at the shows I watch as mindless entertainment. But I like shonen anime for the thrill of the fights as well as the exciting stories. I like to lose myself in it.

I have looked at my "watched" anime and thought something like that when finding some titles I've included in that list. Most specials and spin-off weren't worth watching at all but for some reason I was just in a "content farm" mode when I was in school, so I had to watch even the most brain dead tasteless anime just because...Some things are obviously bad products but still fun to watch at particular points of life, so you may enjoy them and years later think it was a horrible show. Anyways, my taste is pretty bad.

Everybody has shit taste. Thinking too much about it would not be efficient.
At the end of the day "taste" is highly subjective afterall. The part that matters is if you enjoy what you are watching or not.

I've read Arifureta LN and WN; the pinnacle of literature, the madoka magica of the current generation, so there's no doubt that, I-- who has consumed the pinnacle of this culture, thinks that my taste is shit. Also, just so you know, I'm reading Arifureta AS. All the shit I've seen, read, watched, looked at pretty much dissolves because I have seen the anime and read the LN and WN of Arifureta.

Not really, only when I'm rewatching a show I previously liked/disliked and ended up having the opposite opinion on it, I tend to think "Damn, my taste was fucking shit back then. What the hell was I thinking?"
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Actually yes. I found it out when I realized I cant give the shows: Prince of Tennis, Hitman Reborn and Kuroko no Basket a score lower than a 9. No matter what angle I look at it, these shows are clearly targeted towards fujoshis.

But eeh, love what you want to love. Once you watch enough anime, you'll find what you like and what you don't. Embrace the trash within you.

How is this possible when you regard your own taste as supreme and you judge if someone has 'bad taste' by comparing it with yours and see if it aligns? I like Fairy Tail btw

Yep.
Not that it bothers me tho, I never had the ambition to refine it or get a better + deeper understanding of what the media has given to us.
I just have fun exploring it randomly.

Your taste changes over time and becomes more refined with the amount of things you've watched. The first time you watch a generic show it looks really fun. Not so much when you see it for 20th time with a slightly different twist to it.

I generaly go over my list once every few months and usually end up dropping a point or two from some shows, rarely even bumping some shows up, since my perspective might have changed.

No because I am confident in my judgement about things. I'm not gonna back down on my thoughts and feelings because my opinion doesn't align with the general consensus. I am simply too good for that.
