PrettyJ said: I rate most crappy anime a 5. Yeah, I'm too much of a nice guy. Same here. I don's see the need for giving a gradation of score for something that I don't see as a good show or have a redeemable qualities, so I use 5 for a placeholder for everything from average to horrible show. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| 5 means average so anything higher is kind of good. I usually put animes that I expect to be average or below average on hold and finish other things first so most of my scores are quite high |
| 10/1 rating best rating no need for all this other silly garbage of ratings everyone else uses |
 |
| Maybe they're tsundere |
| Aside from using 5 as "average", I try to keep my enjoyment of a series out of my scoring as much as I can. Even if I don't enjoy a series, I try and keep watching if I think it'll get better -- that's what I did with Yuri Kuma Arashi and Aldnoah.Zero. But there's also just a lot of bad anime, y'know? If it's just bad, I drop it. All of that said, anything rated 6+ on my list is something I'd recommend. PrettyJ said: I honestly have no idea how people who have watched more than 100 series and rate most of them with under 5 scores can force themselves to keep watching anime. They must have a pretty boring life.  |
| i rate too high and generous. i need to rate lower |
| save all the cute girls from ntr manga |
Lost_Future said: I just pictured a fat neckbeard sitting in a dark room, watching anime, eating yogurt and crying. Damn, the yogurt part got me laughing and I don't even know why. |
Lost_Future said: WingsOfValor said: Damn, the yogurt part got me laughing and I don't even know why. Yogurts are generally funny. But whyyy? |
| because they're not hyped fans, they make a critical judgement and decide after how to rate. |

Mashiro-Yuki said: I mean, you spend 12 years in school, not counting preschool, kindergarten, and college, so why shouldn't I use the grading scale I've been using for as long as I can remember? Maybe because some of us never used this scale in our school? Just 0-10. Always. I only used what you're saying on The Sims. ---- As others have said my rating is: 1-4 bad, 5-10 good. Anyway, I don't get either those who have watched like 200 animes and just 10 of them are rated above 5. Why do you watch anime then? Like... do anything else instead? You can read books, watch movies, etc. I don't know but I don't care, because: first, to each his own, and second, I don't usually give high ratings to films either but I like to watch movies. But I can understand why some of them watch an anime even if they think this anime is bad. I mean, I've watched some too because if it's short (12 episodes or less) and it doesn't happen something unbearable I rather prefer to finish the series. Because what if...? But maybe I'm a masochist or something, I've watched some really really really bad movies on purpose, because they're bad, really bad. |

Yatarasu said: Gee, can't help that I need to watch something first before determining whether I'll like it or not. And I'm a completionist, so I'll watch it to the very end or put it on-hold.I mean if they hate stuff so much then they shouldn't watch it Yatarasu said: My rating scale is simply different from mal's.If you are one of those people please quell my curiosity. 8 = great 7 = v. good 6 = good 5 = average 4 from downwards is terrible. I don't follow it loyally though, some shows I might rate using mal's scale. It's arbitrary and I can't help it. My manga rating are less harsh, pls. |
 |
| Because they have "high standards" and everyone knows that LogH is the one and only 10 that can be on anyone's list. |
 |
| Plebes don't understand the rating system. |
| Lol i rate most anime 7 or higher. I remember seeing sum1 rating steins gate 4 ⊙_⊙ |
 |
ZaraxAnime said: Lol i rate most anime 7 or higher. I remember seeing sum1 rating steins gate 4 ⊙_⊙ Oh, so Steins;Gate can't be rated with a 4 now O.O ? |
 |
| Because some people like to watch stuff that they don't like(yes, they are masochists), so they can give a low rate to it. My low rates are dropped anime or some bad anime that I... I... I don't know why I finished them... kill me. |
Gholy said: Pfft, what a plebe! I spit at your dirty toga! I bet you don't even have more than five slaves!Welp. I gave End of Eva a 10 and I don't plan on changing it, so I guess I'm a filthy casual beyond saving. |
| i dont mostly because i avoid shit anime so my scoring is higher. I cant stand watching series that turns into a chore because its that garbage, and i will rate it as such. |
| Some are critical viewers, they take anime seriously. I don't see any problems with that. I enjoy seeing films, tremendously, but I mostly give out a 7, because films nowadays especially from Hollywood are shit, just because it takes a great amount of effort for some writing or characters, or the humour, drama, setting etc, to wow me and make it more than average. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing films at all. Same rule applies to anime. |
Haruhi ism  It's fun, isn't it? |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| For me : 10: Masterpiece (with very few small flows - nothing's perfect) 9: Incredible anime that's just not quite on masterpiece level 8: Great anime 7: Good anime 6: Decent anime, above average, below being good (could be due to various flaws and so on) 5: Average 4: Pretty bad 3: Bad 2: Terrible! 1: Absolutely awful, complete waste of time that I'll never get back (I also refuse to drop anime so if it's long, I'm screwed) I also rate based on my enjoyment which is affected by plot holes, characters, animation, style, story etc which is far from being objective but rating stuff entirely objective is silly in my opinion. |
Where the fuck did Monday go? |
| 5 is "average" or "not good and not bad" or "equal good and bad" For me, 5 is still plenty watchable and even enjoyable 4 is "below average". I don't like that MAL labels this as "bad", so I use my own scale. 4 is still watchable! 3 is "almost watchable" or "better than generic" 3 is in my drop zone. 2 is "generic" or "no reason to watch". This doesn't mean they are terrible. It just means I don't care to watch them. 1 is "unwatchable" 0 is for everything that doesn't even make it on to my list. I operate under the assumption that most anime is garbage. My score distribution more or less matches this. 6=Above Average, 7=Good, 8=Very Good, 9=Excellent, 10=Masterpiece These are pretty obvious. Most anime that I "try" ends up in the 2-6 range, with at least half of the potentials getting dropped. I really have to enjoy something to even consider giving it a 7, let alone something higher. |

| Cause the rating scale goes from 1 to 10 you filthy casual scum. |
| The Art of Eight |
| It's either because their rating system works like that, or they really care about finishing every anime they started, even the ones they don't like. And that results in rating them a 6. On a 1-10 scale, 6 is not that bad actually. |
Erio- said: Maybe they're tsundere ikr |
| To me 6 is "not bad". The rating literally has the word "Fine" right next to it. That means I enjoyed it. Even if it may or may not have multiple issues. What I don't understand is why you think a 6 is bad. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| even if i think anime wasn't good and rate it with a 4 or something it doesn't mean i didn't enjoy it people are just too soft on anime and will rate anything that was somehow enjoyable with a 8 which stands for very good and not ok. most of anime isn't very good, even if it's not bad to watch |
 |
| i would guess they are using a different scale than you are. maybe 5 for them correlates to "average" or "fine" |
vokisa said: They are miserable people, so they can't enjoy anime as much. Also this is how I rate, sort of less. Oh and if I do manage to give something a 1 or a 2 ... well it would mean someone took over my body by picking a poor choice, or the synopsis was wrong ^^ I usually know how to pick anime that are entertaining and dont come close to being that bad. |

|
| I don't like forcing myself to finish anime that I don't find entertaining. Some people will finish an anime no matter what, but I don't understand that. Forcing yourself to finish a bad anime makes watching anime a chore, which it shouldn't be. |
