I have noticed that the highest score I gave to an anime which I watched on a weekly basis (it was airing) is 8 and that anime is Fate Zero S2. When I marathon anime, that anime tends to have a higher score. Does anyone experienced this too?

P.S - Sorry if my English is bad xD

Not at all my rating is judged by my opinion of the show finished fast or not I incorporate the key elements a anime must have for me to give it a certain score, and if it doesn't I drop the score down accordingly.

It makes sense.
For me if I marathon series it must mean that I liked something enough to go further than my usual 2 episode per day routine.
So it has to be good.

I've always watched completed anime, so when I watch them, the more interesting they are, the faster I tend to watch them. If they aren't as interesting, I'll usually take longer to finish it, so yes, I experience it too.

Nope.

For me I marathon everything I watch unless it's currently airing.

I rate based on enjoyment. If something took me more than a few days to marathon it wouldn't matter as long as I had a good time watching it. Whether I take my time watching a show or if it takes weeks ( like shows currently airing ) it wouldn't matter.

nope, but i don't watch anime while it's airing so it is usually a marathon.

No. Although series I like I tend to marathon, while series I don't find as special I watch fewer epsidoes daily.

Yeah, it does for me. I honestly don't know why, but I usually don't watch more than 1 or maybe 2 episodes of a certain series a day. If I get through a series too fast (like in say, two or three days) then I feel like I didn't get to appreciate it enough and it just raced by.
Some series on my watching list have been there for months and they're only 12-25 episodes. Maybe I feel like I need to watch them slowly, or maybe I'm just a slow watcher myself. Either way, I don't like watching things that I see for one day and then mark as "completed" forever after that (excluding movies).

No. I only watch anime when I have time and sometimes I just don't have time. That being said some anime I watch for months and some I watch in a few hours. Although, if an anime is not interesting I am more likely to catch it if I am watching it over a long period of time.

Nope. My highest rated anime is one took me about a month to watch. In fact I get more attached to characters in an anime if I take my time watching it instead of marathoning.

Instinctively, I say no, but let me check: Madoka is my favorite - it took 6 days. I gave Clannad a 10 just like Madoka, and it took 20 days. Not much of a difference.

Soul Eater is something that I really enjoy and yet it's been 111 days since I started and I'm only 21/51 episodes in. I will definitely finish it one day.

So no, it doesn't matter. I just gave four series that I watched as they were airing 10s, so that doesn't matter either. I just take my time with some series, and I very very rarely marathon anything, not to mention the fact that I watch like 10 completed series and 15 airing series at a time. There's no way I could complete everything I watch in a timely manner.

Yeah i guess the faster i watch it the higher i rate it, but i guess thats most likely due to the fact that i wanted to keep watching that anime so quickly because i really enjoyed each episode and wanted to keep going.

Nope. Whether I wait for a new ep weekly or marathon the anime does not change the content of each episode or if I will like it or not.

I actually prefer to wait for the eps weekly instead of marathon because it makes me wonder what will happen next. I do not watch previews either because those sometimes spoil me.

This.

I usually rate a series 3 days after watching or after picking up another series. It tends to take away the hype from marathoning a series.

Yep I usually rate soon after viewing but a lot of times I end up having to go back and rate it down as I go a little overboard after marathoning. Especially since I rate mostly by the amount of enjoyment I've gotten out of a series, with things like art, soundtrack, and animation only taken in to consideration when it's either very good or not good at all.

Well, If I took the time to marathon a series, then I'd obviously have a much higher rating towards it compared to series that I was perfectly fine with slowly watching it.

good rating are those that make me watch it fast haha.

Well if I watch them fast = I like them a lot, so I guess so!

Doesn't matter to me. However my ratings for anime I marathon are far more likely to change compared to when I watch something in a slow pace. School days took time to sink in, so that went from 7>9. And anime that gave me a good rush or ended on a high note might drop after the initial thrill wears off.
