Aside from age-inappropriate or socially-controversial tags, I wouldn’t recommend otaku culture and others that require prior knowledge to get the jokes or the story.

    Can you rank some anime for me so I understand the scale better? I’m assuming the higher the score the less it should be considered?

      Copy/pasting someone else’s scores both because I have trouble doing this exact thing and because the Venn diagram of my tastes to the average anime fan has nearly no overlap‡, hopefully it helps.

      Ancient Magus Bride: 1/1/1. Can be enjoyed by people that don’t even know what anime is, barely any sexual content to speak of, extremely high production values.

      Konosuba: 6/7/2. Requires a moderate amount of knowledge of anime tropes, specifically the isekai genre and JRPG tropes it’s lampooning. Contains an above average amount of sexual content, though it is not the focus and is generally reserved for comedy rather than genuine fanservice. Generally high production values and is very enjoyable.

      Non Non Biyori: 3/0/2. Requires a surface-level knowledge of Japanese culture, but nothing too deep. Contains absolutely no sexual content whatsoever and could be shown to your grandma. High production values for a “girls doing things” show.

      ‡as a for instance, I practically loathe Konosuba and yet here it’s rated at a 2 on the shit scale

        This is perfect thank you, so SAO would be something like 5/8/8 (an argument could be made for 9s in both the last categories) and Horimiya would be something like 3/1/1 as far as I’m concerned. Gotta incorporate that scale into a review site in a way that it averages out everyone’s rankings across all three categories. I also only watched one episode of Konosuba.
