| A masterpiece is an outstanding work of art or craft. Not the embodiment of perfection. So basically, if you think something was an outstanding piece of anime, it should be given a ten. A 9 is "great". An 8 is "very good". At the end of the day, you can rate it whatever you want to, it is based on opinion, but don't you think you are a little harsh sometimes? Some people never rate 10. Does that mean you have never found an anime you thought was outstanding? |
| If everything is a 10, there are no 10's Edit: I feel that afer you watch a good amount of shows your list should look more like a bell curve, with a few 10's more 9's, more 8's most 7's and then decreasing again ((obviously potentially being less or non-existant under the 5's depending on how you find your shows - I mean I wouldn't expect you to knowingly watch a horrible show)) |

| Another ranting thread about ratting Anyway you say it yourself thar people gave their own standard on ratting anime. Off topic but Nagi no Asukara is the lattest anime that I rate 10. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I don't like how MAL considers a 9 "great", to me great is just another word for very good. If 7 is good I'd consider 7.5 very good and of course 8 great (not just because it rhymes). |

| The more of anything you do or see the stricter you will probably rate most of that thing. For instance, have you ever watched a Slam Dunk Contest? You probably have watched one before. If you haven't then watch this one Ever see a guy pull off an incredible dunk but the judges only give them a 7 or 8? That's probably because they've seen hundreds of dunks and just dunking is not a big deal to them. In order to get that person excited enough for them to give you a 10 you'll have to pull off something really amazing. So that's the reason that people on here won't give out many 10's. Because a 10 isn't something that is just good. A 10 is something that is very special. |
| I use the Evangelion method of rating. 1-4: It all comes tumbling down... 5: No strong feelings either way. 6-10: This is good, isn't it? I've given out two tens (three technically but one was just the second season of a show I had already given a ten) , and I'm okay with that. A person should have few tens, as they are only meant for the best of the best. |

| There would be too much 10's out there if people thought like that. I think that people give 10 to something very special, or something that they are fanboys of. |
 |
| Yh I give 10s if I enjoyed a show considerably and found it amazing. And I usually only watch shows I believe I would enjoy so always end up with a few 10s. |

I have to admit I give tens exclusively to things I can potentially see myself rewatching because it was just too amazing. I had to marathon the series because it was too good for me to stop. That is what a masterpiece is to me, something extremely great the whole way through. I give nine's to overall amazing shows that had some rough patches. |

| I think that you should rate it however you want. I personally give 10s to anime/manga that have that something special, but I'm pretty easy so I may have like 40 ,10s. But in the end of the day who gives two shits. |

| I'v rated most everything I have watched between 8 and 10. Although, my sample size is pretty small and I have mostly just watched already well known and popular animes that seemed like they'd be interesting. Once I become more of a veteran and start watching more obscure anime, I'm sure i'll come across stuff that isn't as good. I pretty much just rate on an enjoyment factor though. For example, if I was rating Kampfer objectively, it'd probably score pretty low. However, I really enjoyed that show and gave it a 8 or 9 or something because I found it way too entertaining. |

| that is your opinion. i consider a 10 perfect because i rated each individual part of an anime separately and make the overall score the average between all of the individual scores. so in order to get a 10 overall using my way of scoring is to get a 10 for story, animation, sound, characters and enjoyment. |

| Oh look another rating thread. Anyway, the rating is based on opinion meaning if a person rates an anime as a 10 then that's just their opinion. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| 10-7: yes 6-5: at your discretion 4-1: no I'm still hoping they implement a column for rating hair. |
| I agree with the OP on this. An anime or manga title doesn't need to be absolutely flawless to deserve a 10/10. It need only be outstanding and amazing overall. Demanding absolute perfection down to the most minute and miniscule details from stories created by fallible human beings is simply unreasonable. Why even use the 10 point scoring system in the first place if according to your standards nothing can ever realistically achieve a 10/10? |

| people will argue about it vs the manga but berserk will always and forever be my favorite. i have no doubt. |
| I have a question for people who rate using the 7-10 scale (where 7 is 70% or the average), why do you need so many levels for bad anime (1-6, 10-60%)? What are the advantages of the 7-10 scale? |
|
Sung-Hwan said: There's a reason why 7/10 entertainment are often so criticized in written or video reviews: it's because they are not good in that context. I remember well of how ANN completely attacked Mirai Nikki and gave it a C with a brutally mean spirited closing comment. No it's because many review platforms rely heavily on ad money from the people who make the products they're also reviewing. It's in many big time video games websites best financial interest to use grossly inflated scores. |

| i actually rate by a reverse scale, because I think anime is like golf and such. 1 obviously means #1 and should be treated like a #1 anime! 10- Horrible crap like Elfen Lied. People cry to this shit? Makes me cry from pain. 9- barely watchable mainstream crap like code geass 8- Pretentious crap like bakemonogatari with too much fanservice 7- Gay crap like Shinsekai yori 6- Moeshit crap like Nichijou 5- Average animes like Free! 4- Pretty good anime like high school of the dead. it's so deep man 3- Coolest stuff evar like Black butler. Es cool cause other people like it too! 2- tearjerking masterpieces like Air. The character designs are true art. 1- Amazing pieces of art like End of Evangelion |
