Art & Animation
Character Artwork: How good looking the characters are? Are they generic or drawn from a character database? Is there uniqueness to the art style? Does the clothing and style match the scenario or is it unfit? Sexy clothes are overused for that type of show?

Animation: How fluid are the combat sequences? Are there recycled images or scenes? Is the use of static images a plus or a problem? Does the show have enough animation quality to what it demands? How good animation needs to be for this show to succeed?

Backgrounds: The world has good scenarios shots for you to understand it? How detailed are the backgrounds? Are they used enough or most scenes occur in basic colored backgrounds? How varied are these background paintings?

Consistency: Does the show keep the same art and animation quality until the end? Getting better is never a problem, but does it become worse? Animation sequences start to use far more simple and less detailed images?

Sound
Voice-Acting: Does the voice-acting fit the characters? Are there too many noisy characters with irritating voices? Is the lip-synch well done? Are there enough dialogue or is the show more silent than needed? How many young girls with terrible pitched voices are there?

Background Music: The show becomes silent from time to time? Or does the music stand far more than what is necessary? How varied are the background music? Did the music made you tired or bored? Is it fit to the genre of the show? Does it increase the quality of the show or detract from it?

Opening/Ending: Does the opening create the exact mood for the show? Are there more openings that are good enough? Are the ending used in some better way to keep you watching the show? Is there merging of openings and endings with the show?

Sound Effects: Are the explosions and laserbeams too stupid? Does the ambient sound fit the shown scenario? Do you feel like the place present is helped by ambient sound? How loud or fit are sound effects of metal, footsteps, dragging, etc?

Story
Premise: How interesting is the premise? What's the initial idea of the show? Could this idea, regardless of how the anime handled it, still make you imagine things about it? Is it original? Does it has enough fuel to be belieavable or easy to understand? Is it complex or far too simple?

Development: How the plot progresses? Are stupid coincidences the most important tool to move the plot? Are there enough twists and turns or are they exaggerated? Is the pace fit for the show or is it too rushed or slow for what th show is proposing to tell? Is the show plagued by fillers? Are the fillers disguised within episodes or screaming with whole set of episodes for them?

Conclusion: Does the show reach an ending point? Is the ending plausable or bizarre? Is the ending (or lack of) good enough for the show? Does it leave space for sequels?

Character
Personality: Are the basic personalities of the characters good enough? Are they far too excessive in their personalities? Does it fit how they were initially presented to the show? Are they laughing clowns in a world of war? Are their background stories good enough to build their personalities (or their personalities fit their background stories)? Are they too childish or stupidly serious? Are they cartoonistic personalities or real-based ones?

Development: Does the events of the plot affect how the characters act? How different are the characters from point A to point B in the plot? Do they develop nicely until the ending or do they stop developing mid-way? Are there enough episodes to create a bond with them? Or is there an abuse of character-centered episodes? Do they make mistakes and learn or they only do the same thing over and over? Are they human enough in how they deal with fear, sadness, tragedy, happiness, and other feelings?

Support Cast: Is the support cast given enough spotlight to influence the previous categories? Are they detailed or simply dolls for some stylish design? Are they useful at all even if used only rarely? Are they outstanding? Do they rob the spotlight from the main characters?

Value
Impact: How powerful the show can be when compared to others of its time? Is it memorable? Does it touch subjects worth mentioning or is it just mindless stuff? How good is the combination of the elements of the show? Does it have enough original or well executed elements?

Rewatch Value: How many times the show can be rewatched by someone who likes the genre? And to the others? Does it have many useless episodes to skip in a second watch or is it filled with important events? Big shows are usually hard to rewatch without skipping dozens of episodes, is this the case?

Historical Value: Do the show break any new grounds? Does it do any good to the anime industry overall or is just one more to the pile? Does it create enough momentum to make you watch spinoffs, buy marketing materials, etc?

Enjoyment
How much fun can someone who like the genre extract from the show? What about the other fans? Is the show something many people can like or just a very small audience? Is it mindless fun or does it have something else?
