| My ratings can be pretty skewed. 10 - Masterpiece 9 - Great 8 - Good 7 - Average 6 - Er... 5 - Bad 4 - Welcome to the Dropped List |
| My rating system ^ I have to admit that I have a few exceptions to those guidelines... ^^'' |
| The characters usually make or break the anime for me. One of the main reasons I watch anime is to listen and watch the characters and the way their personalities impact the show. So if the anime has a good cast then the chances that I will give it a high rating are much greater. The content is also important to me. The anime that I would normal give a nine or ten to usually has me wanting to watch the next episode every time I finish one. So enjoyment of the anime is also extremely important. The animation is also important, but if it is decent, and everything else is great then I may still give it a nine or ten. The animation of the characters can have a big effect, though. |

| Based on enjoyment. |
 |
| Mine is all enjoyment. That being said, 5 is the lowest I use. If I drop a series, then I give it a 5 for it being mediocre, average, boring, etc. I sometimes fix the scale though depending on how much I remember from the series. If i have half my list as 7s, I usually reconsider scores, particularly lowering the scores of series I don't remember. I also change it due to rewatch value. Most if not all the 8s and higher have been watched (or read) more than once. Usually more than twice too. If they weren't rewatched/etc. and were given that high a grade, it's cause it left a really big impression, but was way too deep to relive the rollercoaster. A good example is Bokurano. Great series, watched it in 2011 yet can still remember each character's circumstance, and the plot twists. It's way too deep for me to rewatch just yet, but it's definitely left an impression. Particularly for manga, if I can't recognize the series by the name, it auto gets downgraded... usually to a 6. I check each link though, cause I do acknowledge that some of the Jap names are a bit complicated. If I can recognize the series and events through the pic/summary, I tend to leave it (if it was good). Otherwise, I downgrade it. Cause legit, if I can't remember what it is by name/summary... then it must not have been good enough to warrant the grade. See, I first mark by enjoyment... but when I recheck the list... if I can't remember it... then what the hell? >.> EDIT: and yeah, if i remember close to nothing about that series... 5 is what it gets... Now, if I the scale is tipped, I'll start introducing the 4 and make that the lowest, to create some diversion/differentiation... but meh. EDIT2: So just checked my list, and yeah it's kinda weird. Level 1 = Enjoyment When I first enter something in, I base it off enjoyment factor Then, when I recheck the list every so often: Level 2 = Rewatch Urge Like I said, if it's 9+ then it means It has a HUGE rewatch/reread value. All 9s have been rewatched/reread multiple times. 8s on the other, is not so. Though most have been rewatched/reread, not all of them have. Katekyo Hitman Reborn is a strange example. I didn't like the series as I first watched it... and I had to drag my feet through it... but I can't deny that there's SOMETHING almost BEGGING me to rewatch the series! I also remember a lot of the character's names, and I do recall the events that have taken place. Though I didn't really like it... that intense urge means a lot. So it got upgraded from a 7. Some series I originally gave 8s cause I really liked them.... but if I don't feel the urge, then it's downgraded. That's a CLEAR line between 7s and 8s. Rewatchability is extremely important for my grading policy. Level 3 = Recognizable-ness. Level A. If I can remember the series in its entirety from the name alone, it warrants a 7. These are good series, that are also memorable to an extent. Some series have really complicated Jap names so there is a TINY leeway.... Level 4 = Recognizable-ness Level B. 6s tend to be series that are okay. Anime is kinda weird in how I can remember pretty much everything based off the name alone, which is why technically all 6s should be 7s. That being said, I just felt uncomfortable rating these shows in the same tier as the better 7s. For both 7s and 6s, I REALLY had to be in the mood for that particular genre. For instance, Shanri-La is REALLY good... but 1. I can't remember names or what happened. I remember the concept, the setting and that I liked it... but there's no real attachment. It was okay. It was pretty good when I watched it, but nothing outstanding. For Manga though, there's a bigger difference. for a 6 in a manga, I can barely remember what it's about. I can still differentiate the series from other series, but cant do much more than that. Last Level: CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING = manga. This might turn into stat 4 soon, but for now, it's a 5. For anime, it's usually dropped... or REALLY BORING. Every series that gets dropped gets a 5. Fairy Tail, if I didn't drop it, prob would have gotten a 7 lmao. It isn't bad. But the 5 warrants the fact that it couldn't keep me engaged, and that speaks volumes. If a series could, then it auto should be given a better grade in my book. |

| Most of my rating is based on my overall enjoyment. Then very small parts of it, goes to art, sound, and characters. Although I really wish they had decimals. |
 |
| Just rate it on how you enjoyed that series.. |
| i rate the anime i watch on a very complex and ancient method passed down from generation to generation of the armstrong family. if i like it, i give it a 9. if i really liked it and its one of my favourite, i give it a 10. if its shit or it didnt meet my demands of satisfaction, its crap and i dont bother rating it. |
| i feel as if i am ignored most of the time on here. well fuck you too then! |
| I rate by genre. This the only way to do it. For example if I've seen Clannad I'm not going to compare it with TTGL. Pretty obvious you say right? That's one of the reasons i rated Nichijou a 10 and i don't get annoyed by characters like Shinji. Because NGE is not a battle shonen. And i don't have all to many anime rated a 5. Since if i would not like battle shonen i stay way from it and don't try another to give it also a 3 in advance (for example). Dan why are you telling us this Johny? Well it seems like a lot of people have trouble understanding this. |

| My ratings are mainly based off enjoyment though I do put some emphasis on story/characters. There are certain kinds of flaws that I can ignore if I really liked an anime and others that I can't. My 10s aren't "flawless", rather they are anime that I found incredibly mindblowing/well-written (like Monster or Bebop), immensely enjoyable (such as Gintama or TTGL) or an awesome watch. The worst score I'll give is a 2 to those that I think are genuinely crap. My 1's are reserved for the "so bad it's good" type anime like Garzey's Wing or Mars of Destruction. |
 |
| Overall enjoyment I mainly. I guess the most important thing for me is the cast, since I find a good story can't overwrite a bad cast as much as a good cast can overwrite a bad story when it comes to my rating of shows(though obviously it'd depend on how good the story or cast is to overwrite the bad cast or story). Obviously other aspects come into play such as animation and the style of art, music isn't such a big deal to me tbh. Plus, what I've rated most of my shows on my list isn't the true rating, if MAL had .5s then you'd see my real ratings, I could put the real ratings in the tag section of my list, but I don't know if I'd ever be bothered going through and tagging each anime on my list with the true rating as there are around 350 at this time, and the list is only going to get bigger! |
HiNT74 said: If you didn't like it, give it a low score! 5 is like super high. If I give a 5 it means the series was pretty damn good! Earn that score, I say! Wait, a 5 is good? :O For me, 5s aren't worth watching most of the time. Meaning if I look through the database, 5s and 6s I usually don't try. I read and watch anything that's 7 or higher usually :/ The rating scale is different for everyone so it's kinda confusing >.< |
| I always rate only in the scale 5-10. 10 - Absolute masterpiece with addicting plot and loveable characters. Even though I usually overrate anime I watched, I rarely rate them that high. 9 - Amazing as well, but had something I didn't enjoy, or just it didn't deserve 10 in my opinion. 8 - The score I use most usually. Very good, characters were likeable, and watching it was enjoyable in general. 7 - Good way of spending time, either had some bigger flaws or was just averge overall, but still kinda fun. 6 - Boring, but I wouldn't call it total waste of time yet. 5 - Horrible, just thinking about the plot and characters makes me sick. I almost never use it, but when I do, it means I totally hated the anime. The worst for me. |

Litrydow said: Why don't you use 1-4? Hard to say why, but when I see that someone rates anime using 1-4 I feel that it must have been AMAZINGLY terrible series. And, well, I never feel like that towards any series, even if I hate something, I can find SOME good points of it, at the very least I don't think I've ever seen anything I found insanely bad. I'm always pretty optimistic about my ratings. |

stupidfucker said: Screw you, 'moshimoshikitty', you fucked up my thread. |
| I start at 1 and add a 1 for each of the following questions I answer "yes" to. 1. Were there consistently good parts? 2. Did I enjoy following the storyline? 3. Were the characters likeable/memorable? 4. Would I recommend it to others? 5. Did the series stand out with an identity of its own? 6. Was the ending satisfying? 7. Did it go anywhere even with individual episodes? 8. Was the music good or outstanding? 9. Were the graphics good or outstanding? |
 |
| I pretty much arbitrarily pick a number based upon how much i liked the show. I don't rate any show I havn't completed, because i don't think anyone really can give an honest opinion on something you havn't seen all of. Because of this i don't use the lower half of the scale very often. |
| I rate it based on how much fun and satisfaction it gave me. That's why most my scores are between 7-9 cause I just like watching anything ;P |
| If it was enjoyable overall it will get a 6 (which means, with some boring parts), if it didn't it will go below, how below? Depends on how bad it was If it didn't really have any boring parts it will be 7 or more. What differentiates a 7 from a 10 for me? How enjoyable it was of course, but also, the characters, their development, the setting, the plot and the OST. I don't really mind the animation, but if it's really well animated, it may get an extra point. Also, the ending, a good ending can get an extra point, a bad ending can get 1 or even 2 points deducted (Clannad: After Story is one that got 2 points deducted for example) Those extra points won't apply for 9/10s, a 9/10 can't get bumped to 10/10 due to good animation, it can get bumped due to an epic ending only in the case that it was already a 9.5/10. Last, only one real 10/10 will be in my top list (the one I have in my profile), ever, that's why LOGH is a 10/10 and Monster a 9.99/10 (but anything from 9.51 to 10 will get a 10/10 in the list since we can't choose decimals) |

But on the other hand like professional reviewers I dont give bonus points for sound or animation. This is because to start off I wont watch anime with bad animation no matter how good the story is. I feel like an anime is based on characters and plotline. Nothing else. |

In the case of animation is just that I don't weigh it as much to put it in the global averages, for example, an anime with a 10/10 animation would bump the score by 1.5 or 2 if it was calculated with averages, that said, I wouldn't probably bump a whole point even in the case of the best animation, it's more applied in cases where I'd give the series a x.5/10, if the animation was really good I might decide to round it up instead of down. As for the OST, I consider it more important because a good OST can give important scenes much more of an impact. |
| I utilize the full 1 - 10 point scale. Basically, I do a whole bunch of math-y bullshit involving 50% personal enjoyment and 50% technicalities (this is split into sub-sections whose impacts vary based on how they affected the show). After completing these calculations, I allow myself to move the score up or down by one point (or on rare occasions, two points) if I feel that it doesn't accurately reflect what I believe the show deserves, thus purging my ratings of any merit they may have had. |
MiloszDec 28, 2013 11:01 PM
| It's a bit tough to use the full scale though, most shows that would get a real low score from me don't pass the first episode filter and end up being dropped, and I can't really score a show after only 1 episode, so I just delete them from the list, the cases where I ended up giving really low scores were cases where I expected things to get better, thus I didn't drop them (at least after the first 2 episodes). Anime that would get a 3 or less from me end up being dropped really soon in most cases (4s and 5s get dropped pretty often), and that's why I only have 5 shows with 3 or less (and 2 of them were only 1 episode, Mars of Destruction ftw) |
| Completely addicted and can't step away from it or stop thinking about it? > 10 addicted but I could live with out it (for short periods of time) > 9 I enjoyed watching it, but I wasn't addicted > 8 It was ok, I enjoyed it... but some things disappointed me > 7 It was ok, I didn't hate it, but it also disappointed me > 6 I've never rated lower, because if I dislike it that much, I'm dropping it and not even going to bother rating it (since I don't think I can rate it honestly if I haven't watched it all the way through) |

I almost never use it, but when I do, it means I totally hated the anime. The worst for me. I'm very much like you with your rating explanations but with some slight differences. I generally don't use a wide range of scores because I just don't really like giving scores below 5 since that score for me is quite bad. MAL has 5 as "average" but for me it's definitely below. I don't have 5 as horrible though, but it generally means bad. 6 is average but just about watchable/is watchable but there's not all that much good about it. 7 is alright but nothing special, usually having certain aspects I quite enjoyed while others not so much, but overall I did enjoy it. My 8, 9 and 10 are just about the same as you. Pretty much anything I rate under 5 is horrible. The score I give most is 7, though. Add to all that I'm nowhere near as much of a critic as a LOT of people on here. I come on and look at episode discussions and see all these people whining about this and that and I didn't really notice it until they point it out, and the reason I don't notice it is because it didn't bother me much. I'm able to enjoy a show for what it is, and not pick the shit out of it unlike a lot of people on here do. People can say I have bad taste if they want but when I think about it I'd much rather be me and enjoy more shows than be other people who seem to look for what's bad or absolutely cannot ignore certain faults to the point that it actually pisses them off. Screw being like that! |
| Tbh the other day I did go and expand my ratings a bit, before that I had nothing below 5 or one or two 4s, got a few more lower scores now as well as changing some others, but I still couldn't bring myself to change a lot of my ratings. Maybe in due time when I've watched more anime(and I've already seen quite a lot LOL). I wish MAL had .5s then things would be different. |

TowardsTheStars said: silverwalls said: i rate purely based on enjoyment. 5 on my scale means it was okay. Same for me |
 |
| My brain determines the enjoyment level of a show based on thousands of factors, many of which I am not even consciously aware of. Therefore, any conscious analysis would be inferior to the gut feeling, no matter how much time I spent on it. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |
| I rate purely on personal enjoyment, otherwise I would've never gave Mirai Nikki a 10 lmao. |
Hulmy said: I rate mine on enjoyment. If I really love it, I'll give it a 10. If I hate it, I'll give it a low score. Just like me. And because of that 1/3 of the animes I watch become favorites :c (but i don't give a f*ck, cuz anime = love = life) TheDarkLordOtaku said: It's relative performance in it's respective genre. Also this ^^^^^^. It's probably the same sh*t as the first one, f*ck it. (Sorry for my bakabrain) |
