  • Ratings that pass the scale?
    Some anime have a perfect score of 5/5 but in some cases they receive a additional star due to the anime season/series having a flawless run. Where there is little to no errors. Thus these Animes receive the prestigious 6-Star Rating.
  • What is measured in the ratings?
    We measure anime by their pacing, animation, storytelling, plot, overall enjoyment and visually entertaining. However, we look at the spectrum in this matter: Was the show memorable, enjoyable, and how did it make me feel and is it recommendable to newer viewers.
  • Ratings VS Rankings?
    Our ratings are not rankings. We do not identify the best performing / most popular. Nor, do we assign ratings to anime based on where they fall in a top-to-bottom ranking. We believe that rating anime according to rankings would mislead viewers and provide an unfairly score.
  • Why do you rate anime?
    Sauce Ratings goal is to help the culture better by rating and curating anime so that they can easily compare and identify animes. We strive to give them an incentive to watch a series.
  • RE: ZERO
  • TONIKAWA: Over the Moon For You
    ✭✭✭✭ / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (4.30/5) TASTY SAUCE "The MC is Horrible" / "This is so plaid out" trust us, we heard it all from the culture, but the underlying fact is everyone was talking about this anime. It's the perfect blend of Rom-Com wholesome goodness fans love! If you are someone who says, "I just want a romance anime where the boy and girl are simply in love with each other and do relationship stuff together without any drama." then this is your anime!
  • Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina
    ✭✭✭✭ / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (4.45/5) TASTY SAUCE What is a journey? What does a journey entail? Are there happy times? Dark Times? In that answer, you will come to realize why this anime is so good! Because it takes you on a journey of lows and highs as you travel alongside Elaina. You witness the facets of Elaina's personality, and as the journey continues, you too will find yourself taken away, as the episodes expand and get better and better. Go try this sauce; trust us, you won't regret it!
  • Akudama Drive
    ✭✭✭✭ / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (4.25/5) TASTY SAUCE Akudama Drive was the anime that went toe to toe with Jujutsu Kaisen, and no one saw it coming because it was the hidden gem of the season! It's the most random, kick-ass story that will gravitate you with the animation it presents. Don't just take our word for it, as this anime dominated the charts on Anime Corner and Anime Trending! Trust us when we say you have to try this sauce!
  • Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
    ✭✭✭ / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (3.75/5) TASTY SAUCE The sleeper anime of the season (no pun intended)! This series is just Comfy, hilarious, well-animated, well-paced, and all-around entertaining! It is seriously impressive how they could stretch the simple concept of getting a good night of sleep across 12 episodes without the episodes ever feeling stale. It's more than just the gimmick of trying to go to sleep; the story flows, and it's never a chore to watch. Do yourself a favor and try this sauce!
  • The God of High School
    ✭✭ / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ BAD SAUCE A massive hype brought this anime to the forefront but unfortunately due to pacing issues and more this anime has fallen flat and the culture has become divided. Anime only watchers became bored and felt disconnected while Webtoon readers hated the adaptation. Our issue is the fact that the anime completely disconnected the viewer so much that you feel nothing for the characters. The sauce is bad skip it and just read it instead.
  • Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 2
    ✭✭✭✭✭✭ / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣LEGENDARY SAUCEANIME OF THE SEASON

  • Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!
    ✭✭✭✭.70 / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (4.70) DELICIOUS SAUCE To the fans who love "Skilled teaser takagi-san" this anime is for you! Uzaki is a force to be reckon with and will go out of her way to be with Sakurai! These two are just a hilarious pairing and you will never know what either of them is going to do! This sauce has everything and trust me the plot will leave you wanting to go buy a "Sugoi Dekai" T-Shirt! Its a crash course in fun, rom-com shenanigans!
  • My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Climax!
    ✭✭✭✭✭ / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (5/5) CERTIFIED SAUCE As Dr. Strange once said we are in the end game now and what an ending this series gave us! All these years have lead us to here!

Whether you hated this series or couldn't get enough everyone was talking about it! Its raunchy over the top yet rom-com elements create this wild ride of a series! Forget the MAL reviews where they at and just go in with an open mind and trust us this show will leave you feeling something. At the end of the day if you are engaged or enraged the show did its job, it made you feel. Try the sauce and let us know what you think.
  • My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
    ✭✭✭✭.80 / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (4.80) DELICIOUS SAUCE Half isekai | Half reverse harem This series is a breath of fresh air to many who get tired of these troupes. This series takes fun and runs with it and makes it so easy to just binge and watch. Many are skeptics with an otome isekai but the culture is ready for an otome isekai and this one is the one to bust that door open! The best way to describe this series is like a funny rom-com sitcom for anime. If you are afraid to try something new let us tell you the sauce is great! Give it a try!
  • Sing "Yesterday" For Me (Yesterday wo Utatte)"
    ✭✭✭.90 / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ (3.90) TASTY SAUCE "Two roads diverged..." In life we become complacent and try to follow the path that makes the most sense to us even if its not the path we really want. This series takes on deep and emotional feelings and creates magic that tugs at the hearts strings of its viewers. However, the pacing hinders the overall story lines and creates a very rushed ending that fails in comparison to the Manga. However this series is still an enjoyable series! Try the sauce and if you feel like its weak then read the manga.
  • Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 2
    ✭✭✭✭✭✭ / 5⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ LEGENDARY SAUCE ANIME OF THE SEASON There is no other Rom-Com out there that has captivated the culture quite like this series. From last season to this season Kaguyasama gets better and better!
  • Tower of God (Kami no Tou)
    ✭✭✭✭.80 / 5 (4.80) TASTY SAUCE From Webtoon to Anime, Tower of God has made its mark in the Anime Culture! Not only is this series widely popular, but this is a huge step forward for the independent content creators! A story that stems from the shonen troupe but creates a new fresh charm. This series creates excitement and adventure. The hook is slow for some but once the show starts running the characters and drama elevate this series! The sauce is there it just needs some more time to heat up!
  • Gleipnir
    ✭✭✭.40 / 5 (3.40) GOOD SAUCE Ecchii. Weird. Strange. Action. Edgy. Messy. These are the words the culture describes this series and for good reason since its one of those animes where you just cant really describe it. However, it has its moments in its animation and choreography in its fight scenes. The story just gets going after episode 4 and the plot finally begins turn. This is one series that needs a second season to due it justice! Try the sauce but be warned it will leave you wanting more.

FAQ
Our ratings are not always set in stone. Just because we rate an anime does not mean it can not be reevaluated and redacted. Anime is like music. Sometimes you watch it once and you hate it but after-while you watch it a couple more times and you really find yourself enjoying the series. An opinion is an opinion and just like ours it is not be taken as undeniable fact. The culture has its favorites and its non-favorites. Some people love One Piece, others don't. Some enjoy Sword Art while others hate it. No matter what side you are on, the fact is we can engage and discuss the art and enjoyment of being a fan of anime.
