Who 18+ Connoisseur is

The 18+ Connoisseur has a shelf that gets shown neither to mom nor to coworkers — and unlike most people's, his isn't the guest shelf but the main one. Ecchi, harems, explicit OVAs and other «18+»-stamped content occupy a share of his list that random visits cannot explain. He doesn't explain it: taste is taste.

The algorithm assigns the class by the concentration of the profile genres — ecchi, erotica, hentai — and rx titles in the list, with zero moralizing: it's as stable a genre skew as mecha for the Pilot or spokon for the Sports Fan. Speaking of honesty: this niche has the most sincere scores on the site — nobody rates for show here, because nobody shows this list off.

Along the way the Connoisseur is the chief expert on the industry's grey zones: he knows which studio draws the best fan service, how an OVA adaptation differs from TV censorship, and why To Love-Ru is a classic of the genre and not what you were thinking. Niche erudition is still erudition, and in his category he's the absolute authority.

The specialist shelf never makes the public collection, so here's what 18+ Connoisseurs watch and love in the general catalogue — and their taste, it turns out, is excellent.

How the collection is built: we take the ratings of all 4,320 viewers of the class and compute each title's in-class mean score and audience size. The top features titles the class both watches en masse AND rates highly (a weighted rating that cuts off stray single votes). Music videos and 18+ are excluded. The collection recalculates as the base grows.
