I tend to consider myself both a 'reasonable critic' and a 'seasoned anime veteran'. I've watched roughly over 300 titles over several years at this point and usually don't rate anime very lightly on my MAL profile either. I generally take time to analyze the characters, plot, art, music and other aspects that are put into the full work before grading it as well. I'm neither fair nor harsh when it comes to grading because I'm honest on how I grade work, although it's only become more apparent over the last year and a half or so.
