| My #1 favorite is a 9. As in I do acknowledge it's flaws and I did feel like it stopped me from enjoying it as much as I could have, but then when I come to think about it, it's the anime that I adore the most and that's what I talk about all the time. Despite having seen better anime, which fare better when sheer technical prowess is taken into account, this anime is the one that speaks to me. So is your number one spot only reserved for your 10s or is it reserved for anything that manages to resonate with you? |
| Definitely anything that resonates with me. (°ロ°)☝ After reading your post, I went back to look at the shows I gave a 10 such as Hxh. It has flaws like every anime but I enjoyed it so much that I boosted it from a 9 to a 10 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
 |
| No, it absolutely does not. A lot of my favorite anime are (according to me) only 6/10s. That you acknowledge the fact your favorite anime has flaws is actually a good thing. Then again, how you score your anime is up to you. If you want to score your anime by how much it resonates with you, that's 100% your choice. |
| No. You score an anime how you want to. If you wanted to score your favourite a 1, there isn't anything stopping you. I rated my favourite a 9. It is up to you how you score the anime you watch. |
  |
| Didn't I see this topic earlier? Favorites are special kinds of anime that have something that you like about them that other anime may not have or done as well. Anime A can have a 10 while Anime B can have an 8, but Anime B is your favorite because it has something that Anime A does not. Some of my favorites may not be 10s, but I chose them as my favorites because they have something special that I like that I didn't find in other anime that I have seen... |
 |
| Well, since I rate purely via enjoyment.... my favorites are all a 10/10. |
| Yes, I do enjoy all of my 10/10s..... |
 |

| Not really though I gave mine a 10. It all depends on how much you like the anime not with rating. |

| My top 3 are all rated 10. And yes I accept that they all have flaws but I still give them 10's because...personal enjoyment and all that. I think it's weird to call something your favourite and not give it a 10. (if you have seen at least 50 anime) |
 |
| 10/10 is a impossibility in my list...go read my profile for details... |

The one that resonates with you, of course.... Though, in my case, I give 9 and 10s quite freely... so, yeah... I just arrange the anime I scored a 10 based on other factors(like how it resonates with me) |
| My top favourite is going to be the anime that I connect with the most and have enjoyed the most. This doesn't technically have to be a 10, but when my enjoyment is high enough it becomes the most important factor. My four top favourites are all 10s while the other 6 on my profile are a mix of a 7, an 8, and four 9s. |
  |
| Yes, you're a special person who gave a 9. Of course not, everyone has different rating criteria. |

| Yes. Your favorite anime is your favorite anime because all the things combined made you like it the most. 10/10's should be stuff that left an impact on you, the point where you think about it often and you heavily cherish it. Your favorite anime is the one that left the biggest impact on you because of how much you like it and how much you remember it. I don't care what you do, but if you don't do that you're wrong. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| Like others have said, it depends on how you rate. I rate based on how much I liked a show, so my favorite are my 9s and 10s. The idea of objective quality in art is silly. Technical prowess and writing are not objective, as they must be argued. If something is objective it requires no argument, it's just a fact, but I understand differentiating perceived technical prowess and enjoyment. However, the things that cause me to like a show can be argued in the same way, so in my opinion, there is little difference between the two. |

Although I got good taste and that's also why all my tens are also my favorites. HyperL said: 10/10 is a impossibility in my list...go read my profile for details... It is also impossible to receive 1 or 2 with your scoring system? Yes, because as it is written in my profile, I rate things based on my enjoyment and satisfaction, and anything that is worth a Very Bad (3) already provides zero enjoyment and satisfaction to me...in theory. Same with 9 and 10...anything rated Great (9) provides me maximum enjoyment and satisfaction...again, in theory. Also, I'm always thinking about reforming my formula to include 2 and 1 in it, but so far I've never watched any anime worth of such scores (and I'll not seek for it), so is not necessary yet (and I hope it may never be)... |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| nope. So far I have only 4 favourites listed, only Kara no Kyoukai 1 got a 10 from me. I know Mouretsu Pirates (8) is not the most fabulous anime ever, but I love it for being exactly the way it is. Cowboy Bebop (9) is like burnt into each of my cells, and I am happy with that - yet there are some flaws, and one episode I find embarrassingly bad. But maybe some other day I may decide to re-rate it to 10 anyways. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (9) is even dearer to me than Cowboy Bebop, but I find it is a bit too long, and also like straying off before the end. I probably will rate Non Non Biyori a 9, but whatever rating it ends up with, it will get into my favourites. Or maybe I just pick a character. edit : burnt for burned |

| *darn, using my right hand is off-limits for a while. Typing with my left hand only is ... eww.* |
| That would basically be not using the full rating scale, wouldn't it? |
| Well... I mean if you've never seen anything you wanted to give a 10/10 then yes? If you do have 10s then it doesn't make sense to put a 9 as your favorite though Not sure what there is to discuss here |
  |
| No way, I love Absolute Duo and that show is far from "good". |
 |
| Nope. Sometimes I really like something even though it's trash. |
| Of course not, one of my favorite anime of all time is Requiem For The Phantom, but I know it's not that great of a show as I wouldn't rate it higher than 7/10. |
 |
lalabella said: Nope. Sometimes I really like something even though it's trash. That's not how it works though. You don't go "this is my favorite but it is objectively bad". If you really liked it, it was good to you. If you liked making fun of it for being bad, it shouldn't be your favorite. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| Not really. My favorites are my favorites for a lot of reasons, and they don't have necessarily to be rated a 10 to be my favs. However, they have to be rated 9 at least to be my favs. |
 |
| Absolutely! My favorite anime is Hunter x Hunter 2011 and it is definitely a true Masterpiece! 10/10 |
Read Toriko!  |
| nope i have few fave animes and some of them are 9 points |

| Some of my favorites I gave an 8. Some of my 10s aren't my favorites |
 |
| I always start with 10 and lower it according to my Enjoyment level. I'll quote myself How I rate Anime: 10 - Watched it religiously. Theatre Level Enjoyment. Felt very satisfied after watching it and during. 9 - Slightly better than a good TV show I would watch. My version of a good Netflix series. 8 - Very watchable, but not as entertaining/engaging as some other anime for me 7 - Pretty Vanilla. Good for time burning, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. 6 - Very meh. Kind of bored, but I wouldn't call the experience useless. My enjoyment fluctuated more than it should. < 5 - A waste of time or has been dropped by then. |

| Well yes. If I love a show so much I consider it one of my all-time top 10 shows I'd have to give it a 10/10 cause that's what the 10s are for as far as I'm concerned. They don't necessarily have to be better than a 9 or an 8, but they're the shows I love more than all the others. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| nope. 2 of my favourites are 9/10 and i have a few 10/10 that arent my favourites. the one thing has nothing to do with the other imo |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| Yeah, I'm going to rate an anime that I like enough to call it my favorite ever a 10/10, because I'm one of those plebs who rate stuff to reflect on how much they liked it instead of caring more about the technical aspects of its writing. |
 |
| It sounds impossible, but I rate anime objectively. I am able to recognize when something is done right even if it is in a genre I hate, and my scores will reflect that. I judge based on 4 different sections, each getting 25 points - characters, plot, sound, and visuals. Notice how enjoyment is not a factor here. I've given shows that I don't particularly enjoy a 10 while I've given shows I absolutely love 6s and 7s. Examples from my list are Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and Sunabouzu respectively. |
| The new way i'm going to rate shows from now on is a rating based on how much i simply enjoy the series, because everything has flaws and completely flawless 10/10 doesnt exist for me. So yes, i gave the show I enjoyed the most a 10 |

So is your number one spot only reserved for your 10s or is it reserved for anything that manages to resonate with you? Well, I'm trying to be as objective as I can in my ratings. For me, not all 10s are flawless, but they ARE (rationally) the best anime I've ever watched. Also, I've noticed you still didn't watch a single show I've rated 10/10, although we've spent about the same time here on MAL (and are about the same age). Just keep watching - maybe you just didn't see an anime that's 10/10 in your opinion yet. ^_^ |

I see nothing wrong with that at all. |

| In my book they do, but to each their own I suppose. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Personally I think giving shows a 10/10 due to personal enjoyment is extremely incorrect, because personal enjoyment is more subjective and that blurs the line on an objective score is, which is what the average score for an anime should describe. However, my favorite just happens to be my only 10/10. |
 |
| If you rate based on your enjoyment yeah it should be a 10, if you don't rate based solely on your enjoyment then no. I rated my favorite anime of all time with an 8, but I consider some of my favorites a 10. |
 |
| No. My favourite anime has a lot of imperfections, and I like it that way. |
 You just lost the game |
| Nope. From my perspective, favorites =/= best, i.e. what you favorite is not necessarily what you rate a masterpiece (10/10). Hence my fave is an 8/10. |

Sure, Fate/Zero has better aesthetics and a better storyline and slightly better characters, but the former speaks to me just a little bit more. I still give both a 9. I never gave a 10. |

If there was a 100 point system, only my one top favourite would have been given a perfect score by me, but since I can only assign 10 points, I gave multiple shows a 10. |
