10- Rare; amazing, awe inspiring, artful storytelling. (Beautiful.)
9- Intriguing complex story line and characters, little to no fan-service, irrelevance. (Exceptional.)
8- Intriguing complex story line or characters, usually with flaws of irrelevance, pacing, character development etc. (Very good.)
7- Ametuer level genius. Somewhat above average. Good characters, story, pacing-- but usually only two of of those three. (Good.)
6- Something I want to like, but can't because of too many fatal flaws. Usually the best score a slice of life will get. (Somewhat good.)
5- Insanely average. Entertaining but unrewarding-- too much irrelevance. Animation or characters are likely okay. Storytelling here is likely a fail. (Low point average.)
4- Might have held me for a moment, but is likely sub-par in storytelling or characters. A lot of stupid sub-plots. Generally unrewarding. (Bad.)
3- Something that may have held promise and held me, but failed. Generally one to no redeeming qualities. (Pretty bad.)
2- Really pretty bad. Often something with a lot of promise that fails completely. No redeeming qualities. (Really bad.)
1- Rare; Severely disliked. "what on earth was this?" response. Cheap pop culture. Fan gratification. (Horrendous.)
Notes:
I do take genre into consideration, but my personal bias colors my ratings because I like a good story over everything else.
I have a western preference for plot; I don't tend to like things that don't have much of one going on! (^-^;)
I also have an extreme dislike of tsundere characters. It's hard for an anime to win me over with such a lead.
