Feels like this sort of system - for rating and reviewing things - should
have some sort of bespoke file convention allocated for it. What should that
look like? Should I just post reviews on external sites?

Beautifully done 1950's woman empowerment - but not about woman -
genius character develops into a star and navigates relationships with a
pragmatic view of the world but desparate one of the past.

2000s anime; I love the soundtrack but the plot is nonsensical or
entirely absent.
Absolutely beatiful series. Killer opening theme that doesn't fit the
show at all. The pacing and visuals are artful; entirely different from any
comparable series.
that ending really sucked though
True to the manga but skips all of the fluff - somehow improves on the
best moments. the retrospective did them some huge favors, and they were able to
perfect already one of the best manga out there
As expected, this is an incredible series. The third arc (could be
considered the second arc) notably trails off in quality relative to the second
arc or the first segment of the series as characters begin to lose dimension --
though some of the characters have to develop flaws to some degree as the series
continues or there wouldn't be any resolution.
Poetic, simple series about someone who's hit a dead end making the
right decisions and changing his life. All of the characters are incredibly
fleshed out, and the depiction of trauma is almost poetic -- all of them, in one
way or another, garner sympathy from the watcher and you become invested in just
12 episodes. Not a moment is wasted, either; the series starts and resolves
quickly and all of the plot points are cleanly tied together.
This started incredibly slow and I didn't have the patience to
continue watching. The characters didn't feel comprehensive and didn't
have much depth to them; the same corny anime jokes were made so many times
within the first few episodes, and actual plot elements were few and far
between.
The series was very engaging and I loved the visuals. Wasn't the
biggest fan of how it ended, or of the explicit narration of the
'meaning' of the series that consumed most of the last episode, as this
was all implied throughout the show and could have been left that way. I'll
be reading the manga : )
Satisfying story. A bit predictable/implausible at the end and dragged on
quite a bit, but it was a fun watch. Super high quality production as
anticipated!
In progress - find a good place to stream this (watched through ep 5)

beautiful series about a breakup of a lesbian relationship. each plays
interesting roles in the relationship. some of the fights don't feel real,
they feel irrational, especially as instigated by a 'chemistry phd' of a
character. beautiful cinematography snd a sweet ending, though the conflict
driving the narrative was honestly not very believable to me. cool/interesting
that so many characters in clinical roles were poc as well.
