Can't tell if you're kidding...

Or deadly serious.


Same here.

It's opening theme song... :/

After some thought, I figured there really isn't any one thing absolute that makes a good anime, rather it's the right combination of many factors that makes one.

The only thing I think an anime has to follow is the manga itself. Please no shitty giant string of fillers (small amounts are understandable) or shitty deviations from the original story. To give you an A+ anime that was ruined by this, go watch Rurouni Kenshin, I generally recommend people to stop immediately after the Shishio arc, but you'll have to taste the shit itself to understand what I mean. Examples of very well done fillers or deviations are few and far in between.

Opinions.

In my opinion, if its going to be fully serious, it needs to be visually and musically mesmerizing because otherwise I get bored. If it's somewhat humorous, it needs to be actually funny because otherwise it becomes painful like watching new episodes of The Simpsons.
