| A big part of Anime for me is reminiscing on how it was to watch the show. I used to finish a show, then immediately update my list and slap a rating on it. Recently I have been looking back at some ratings and come to realize that they are not accurate to how I feel about the show so I have attached a 1 week rule to myself. I have to wait 1 week to see how the Anime feels after the fact. Maybe I'm weird for that but I'm curious as to what others do. |
 |
| I rate them straight after I watch them too, although I do sometimes reconsider and alter my ratings later on. |
----------------------------- |
| After/while watching i rate the anime. Then when i can't sleep or just bored, i always think of how the anime was compared to other animes and their ratings, and from there i sometimes change the rating to the better/worse. |
O'Hai :D |
| I usually rate it right after the first episode based on my first impression, then change that rating as I continue watching. |
| Usually during, at the very latest right after. They are subject to change though. |
| I rate the anime as soon as I finish it, but on occasion, I do go back and change the rating. I like the idea of waiting a week though. I feel like if the anime has a good ending the rating will be bumped higher, but if you wait a week, you will be able to see the anime as a whole rather than what you just watched. |
| Probably a few hours, after I properly analyze it. But there are some shows that are so good Ex: Steins;Gate that I would instantly rate positively and there are some that are so bad ex: Anohana that I rate it negatively as well. It depends on the show. |
| I almost always rate instantly after I finish watching it completely. I sometimes change it after a while if I think about it, though. |
| I rate as soon as I finish it. This way my rating wont be influenced by outside sources. I very rarely go back to change a rating. I feel it does a disservice to the show since I gave a show its rating for a reason. |

Jenii said: I almost always rate instantly after I finish watching it completely. I sometimes change it after a while if I think about it, though. This is how I rate my anime too. Unless it is a long running series with no end in sight like One Piece |
 |
| Sometimes right afterwards, but sometimes, I like to let it mull around in my head if I don't think I'm in the right mindset to rate it right that minute. Or day. Or week |
| I usually rate as I go according to my current enjoyment. |

| I'll give it a first impression rating and edit it as I go. |
| I rate right after I finish an anime too, since I usually form an idea of the mark during the last 3 or so episodes (actually this is a downside to the rating system, since you start rating everything you see, even subconsciously sometimes, instead of emphasizing words or impressions). |

| I typically give initial ratings after 2-4 episodes and then adjust them as the series goes on. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| When I have completed the anime as throughout the series it might make you change your rating. |

Shocked said: I usually rate it right after the first episode based on my first impression, then change that rating as I continue watching. Pretty much the same here. Sometimes I might go back and re-rate a show later depending on how well (or not so well) I feel it holds up to me. |
| I rate it as a first impression and then as the show goes on, the rating usually changes. |
 |
| I rate it after i have completed another anime. why? well because it allows time to think about how good it was and how it compares to other anime. e.g: i would have given code Geass R2 a 10 if i rated it afterwards due to the brilliant ending and drama. But after thinking about it and comparing it to the (imo) superior R1, i decided to rate it a 9. Though, i would've preferred the ratings to be more precise (to one decimal place) it would be give a more fair reflection. |
 |
| I rate right before the final episode and then change it if the end was deserving of a point increase. Usually though I go back and change them a few weeks after if they were just not that good. Manga though, I rate as I go along... |

| 3-4 episodes to formulate my opinion. Then I would change it as I'm watching it. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I wait a week or so before rating. |
| I rate usually give it a rating sometime during the first three episodes based on my current impression. After that I just change the rating as the show progresses based on how I feel about it at each point before kind of averaging up my overall rating of the show when I watch the last episode. Sometimes I'll slightly up my rating if the ending was amazing, but the score's usually consistent with what I felt it deserved throughout. Something like that. |
 |
| I rate as I progress. |

| I usually start off shows at 6 if I think they're okay/like them, 5 is they're meh, 7 if they're good. I then tend to not change the score till I finish the show, which I then rate it accordingly. Sometimes I come back though and think, "what the hell was I smoking?" and have to change the score. |
Shocked said: I usually rate it right after the first episode based on my first impression, then change that rating as I continue watching. I'm a "rate as I go" person.I'm may change the rating after a certain amount of time after I finish a series ( a retrospective look). |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
| Right after i finish it. |
| I rate after watching it if I completed it and rate it after the first episode if I dropped it |
| I rate the shows I watch after I finish and add to list. My guidelines for my ratings are below. If the drawings are nice and the best girl wins, 10/10 If the drawings are bad and the best girl wins, 8-9/10 if the drawings are nice and the slut wins, 7/10 If the drawings are bad and the slut wins, 6/10 If the drawings are nice and harem ending, 7-8/10 If the drawings are bad and harem ending, 6/10 Bonus points (+1): Harem end but MC obviously preferred the best girl. Diverse character designs and personalities. Excellent use of colors that appeal to me. The hiring of voice actors that I approve of. Best girl is also a loli. Good Sound track. Penalty Points (-1): Too much ecchi, unnecessary fan service. Bad MC. The best girl dies. |

| it takes hours to watch a series but a couple minutes to rate it after finishing the series. i believe you would rate something at least 6 if u sat through an actual series to finish it. other else why would u continue watching it? |
| Rate as soon as im fin the series, but probs would reconsider some ratings if I looked back now |
| I rate them when I just finished it, then I re-think my rating after I complete another series. I usually go with the (*) after the number on the rating system. So a 6 is "Fine" for me, it isn't bad. |
| I normally put a rating on it right after watching, but after adding more, I go back and change some depending on how I currently feel about it, and how it compares to other anime. |

 |
| Usually give them a couple eps and then start rating, adjusting as I go. Sometimes go back and adjust it after I've been away from it for a while. |

I feel it does a disservice to the show since I gave a show its rating for a reason. This. As for series I haven't finished watching, I wait until I'm 1/5 of the way through, then I give it an initial rating, which usually doesn't change until it's completed. If something really changes, then I'll adjust it. |

| 5 seconds after finishing it |
| tfw no gf tfw i keep getting the banhammer on here tfw Koleare keeps banning me every other day tfw I'm misunderstood by le mod |
| Usually try to rate after around 5 eps then i adjust throughout the show as my opinion changes. As i finish the series i give it my semi-final rating which is usually then changed several times a few weeks later as i compare it to other series I've watched. |
| I will rate a anime after I finish watching the series. It doesn't make any sense rating a whole anime series based on own or two episodes seen. |
| Most of the time, its right after i have completed an anime. <3 |

 |
| Once I'm halfway done with a series (12 episodes - episode 6, 24 episodes - episode 12) then I put in my rating, even with airing series. I figure the halfway point is usually a good time to score it. Plus it can always be changed when I'm done with the series. |

Flaxman said: Ianppines said: that's a bit weak coming from someone who's only watched 9 anime. I've finished bad series just for the sake of finishing them. You can't truly voice your opinion about something until you've at least seen a third of it (unless we're counting long series like one piece) and if you can stick to an anime for that long then it'd feel like a waste to just drop it without even seeing the conclusion.it takes hours to watch a series but a couple minutes to rate it after finishing the series. i believe you would rate something at least 6 if u sat through an actual series to finish it. other else why would u continue watching it? i never sed i would rate anything unless i finished the series... i juss feel like its pointless continuing watching something you don't truly enjoy |
| I rate it after 5 episodes, I then re-rate it after I finish the series. |
 |
| I rate it the second I'm done with the serie, have done with all the series I have watched so I'm using a fair system. |
| I do it right after finishing it. I find it stupid to rate something while watching it. You should wait until you're finished to give it its score, because you don't know what's going to happen. |
| I rate shows as soon as I complete them. I also keep a list in a spreadsheet, so I can rank them from top to bottom (best to worst). Every time I finish a series/anime, I glance through my rankings and ratings to make sure my feelings haven't changed on any of the anime I have completed. I adjust where I need to, so my rankings are always up to date. Some anime have climbed after my initial ranking and some have fallen. Usually, only a few spots though. |
