Death to FUNimation, death to them releasing Steins;Gate! Death to Sentai! Death to any possible Clannad After Story Blu-ray!

I do agree that the 0-10 system feels a lot more like a 5-10 system. But that can be said about the star system too, since anything with less than 3 stars would be viewed as junk. I'm not familiar with the letter scoring, that might work, but I really think the way to go is the 0-10 system. Everyone just have to remember it starts at 0

Umm, the majority of your shows are 8 or higher. You have more rated 9 than everything below 8 combined, not counting unrated. Median is over 8.5 I'd day. In short, you've done exactly what I was talking about the game reviewer sites doing.
But thank you from saving me from having to find your own posts to verify this.
Who told you this? And where can I find them...
Good thing we have fan-subbers and nice compression systems.
With TheCorvette, this is literally the case.

I'm well aware yes that 8 is my most common score. The point I was trying to make, I don't give everything an 8/10 or higher like infamous weeaboo Dubs4life.

Obviously I wasn't being literal at first, thus the
face. But now you've pretty much given me a free license to say exactly why the out of 10 system is flawed - most people view 8 as an average score, and anything below it might as well be complete crap. Trying to justify your own lopsided scoring by pointing to someone else who is even more so doesn't help.Would be similar to going "hey, I'm fat, but look at this guy that is even fatter. See, look how bad he is."

I always see below 5 as bad and above 6 as good.

6 isn't good, it's just decent. Xenosaga: The Animation for example is decent, not good. It's just a video game cash-in that not all that much effort to faithfully adapt the first game was used.

Ahem... Decent is slightly good, just not really great or anything. Okayish, slightly better than "mehhhh", but lots of room for improvement.
And dude, sounds like Xenosaga isn't even decent. Sub-5 material.

5 is decent, 6 is "I enjoyed it, but it wasn't anywhere near what it could have been". So 6 is fairly good...

R2, I'm assuming, is the Japanese broadcast level? Short of the industry completely collapsing in Japan, fan-subbers aren't going anywhere...

There were good parts in there, just not all that many. What leaves that 6 instead of a 5 is due to how you still those likable characters and could relate to them. Also the show did manage to entertain me still.
Something like Chu-Bra!! barely did so. You could tell they were trying to do something good with the odd subject material, but it fell flat on it's face with a weak story, weak characters, not all that good of pacing, excessive fanservice, and more.
It was those past moments, and the moments where good was made of the subject material that it managed that 5.

So Loliblade, how's that Bokurano coming?
Haven't watched anymore
Just kidding, I just finished episode 9. It made me sad face.
Sounds like I would have given it a 3.
Also, I hope you realize how nonsensical that last line is..

@Loli, I'm not the best at explaining this stuff, I can't even explain really why I love One Piece so much, my favorite anime.
Sure fansubbers wouldn't go anywhere, but here's the thing, R2 collapses, and then they don't have any new shows to sub. They can only sub existing shows, which pretty much all of them have already been fansubbed.
Yes, why would I refer to R2 as in the UK market for example? Also I'm talking about all of the R2 industry, not just the TV broadcasts, I'm talking about if the animation companies, distribution companies, and merchandising companies went under.

Oh wow. I didn't think you were that insane, honestly.
Do you really think the entire industry will collapse because of people overseas, outside of the primary target audience, fansub? Do you really think this will kill the revenue generated by broadcast ads, web ads, and merchandise? Do you really think this will kill the manga, light novel, and novel aspects of the industry?
Honestly, do you think this? Because if you do, I'm just going to laugh at you and hand you a text book on business. Or just point to the US TV media market, where people torrent shows all the time and it is still an insanely large industry.

I never said the industry will collapse over fansubs overseas. I was stating what you would do if the R2 anime industry was gone (I never stated a cause because I know fansubs won't kill the industry over there. As long as the stuff still sells there because of the otaku buying $90 singles, it'll live.) because you kept on going with "Destroy the anime industry." which goes with the entire industry, every single corner of it.
Japan doesn't need us, they don't need any foreign sales, so of course they'd live without us. Foreign sales are now just gravy. The market would just shrink a little without us because they do use that gravy.
As for manga, light novels, and novels, those will never die in Japan. Manga makes too much money these days, even though there has been a decline due to a lack of hits. Light novels, same thing. Novels, same thing.
When you never buy, yes.

Fan-subbers caused the Tohoko Earthquake. Don't you know?
And we, I mean, I, a time walking space wizard with a wiped memory, will destroy the industry with the power of my high speed communication device. Worry not, the future is cast.
Then why did you make such a profoundly idiotic statement? I will always be able to get anime, according to what you just said. Holy crap, learn how to frigging argue a point.
Kind of like when you said "I don't give everything an 8" and then point out you give 70% of what you rate an 8, and then defend it by pointing out something worse.
Shock and diversion tactics are not valid strategies to presenting and defending a point or opinion. Unless you are dealing with children and don't want to explain where babies come from.

Started watching Toaru Majutsu no Index out of the blue because i was looking for some dumb fun. Stupid idea. The show has a surprisingly serious feel considering it's dumb looks. You can't judge an anime by it's poster, I should've learned that by now
Despite the somewhat pleasant surprise, it's failing to capture my interest enough for me to ignore my already full serious-show-quota, so I'm probably stalling it for a while. My planed dumb show was KoreZombie, so I'll probably watch that now. That is the only one left on my list, so I need more dumb show recommendations, please :3

You know what's the best part of Index? Accelerator.
Kicks :censored:ing ass.
And KoreZombie is indeed a good dumb show.

I asked it because I wanted to know what you would do without the anime industry being alive at all. You wouldn't get newer shows. That was the whole point, you kept going "Oh, I can rely on just fansubs for my new shows no matter what happens to the industry.". That works only as long as the R2 industry is alive to produce these shows.
But of course as I've stated, yes it wouldn't collapse because of fansubs (The Japanese have no use for them obviously.). Yes it wouldn't collapse from the other industries going under. Yes, the market there is doing pretty well, 2011 was a record breaking year there, and it seems 2012 will build off of that success.
Never have the "I can always get anime." mentality as while you can always get older shows, you can't get newer shows all the time. The industry there can die. Market changes can happen, and it can lead to a decline in an industry to where it just dies.
