Diagnosis
You've seen enough “masterpieces of the season” to stop taking anyone's word for it. Every title starts from zero with you and proves itself episode by episode. While everyone screams in premiere week, you quietly finish it and give an honest seven — which a month later turns out closest to the truth.
Symptoms
Recognise yourself in at least three? This is probably your card.
Superpower
Your score a month later matches history's verdict.
Weak spot
While you're still doubting, everyone has discussed it and moved on.
Class breakdown
You doubt by default — and it's not spite. You've seen enough hyped “masterpieces of the season” to stop trusting trailers, buzz and other people's tens. Every title starts from zero with you and proves itself episode by episode.
In scores that's restraint, not bile: an average below the crowd, but no nosedives. You rarely give ones — that takes passion, and you're dispassionate. You use the whole scale, from low marks to tens: the centre is simply shifted down from the crowd, not squeezed into a narrow corridor. What separates you from the Acid Critic is the lack of a negative skew: you don't hunt for flaws, you just don't rush to delight.
You're worth reading once everyone's done hyping a new release: a month later your sober seven is almost always closer to the truth than hundreds of hot premiere-week nines. A high score from you is a verified fact, not an emotion.
Kindred spirits
If anime characters kept rating lists, these would score titles in the spirit of «Skeptic».

The Skeptic rarely switches on delight, so his high scores come from verification, not mood. Here's the anime that managed to break through that armour.
