Would you give something a ten, but not put it in your favorites?

This works vice versa, too. Like if would you give something a low score, and put it in your favorites, or give it a really high score and not? I gave Shinsekai Yori a ten, but do not consider it a favorite, if this helps you understand better.

I only have five 10s and all are in the top 5 spots in my favourites list. I have some 8s in my favourites list even though I have enough 9s to fill the rest of the list.

Yes, ofcourse.

I gave Rewrite+Angel Beats a 10

The reason for rewrite is because the Visual novel was too perfect to not give it a 10.
And for angel beats, it was like my 6th anime and I just kept it as a 10/10 because of key magic

I wouldn't put a low score in my favorites; however, giving a show a 10 doesn't guarantee it will take up my limited favorite slots.
In cases of say sequels, or in situations where a single season was notably better than the rest, or in the case that even if a show I extremely enjoyed didn't jump into my mind first as a favorite. I would be more willing to add say a 9 in those cases which I have. Although I might give them an honorable mention if there was a particular character whom I greatly enjoyed.

Yeah I have more than 10 10s so I can't put them all in my favorites.
I probably regret this post by now.

The favorites limit aside, I guess if you have appreciation for something's quality but don't particularly have as much as an emotional connection to it, sure.

I have several 10s, but I place my favorite 9's and 8's on my favorites list as well because I want to diversify the genres that I have in my favorites. Some of my favorites aren't 10s, but they are placed there because they possess something that some 10s don't have, hence making them a "favorite".

No. I don't have any 10s, so it would have to be pretty special and would definitely be deserving of a spot in my favorites.

I had LotGH at a 10 for a few years, but then I lowered it to a 9 because of the animation quality. There's not enough movement. OVAs and TV shows are cheap.

Right now I have my top five movies in my top five and my top five series in my next size. I wish they had separate sections for favorite shows and movies. Comparing a show to a movie doesn't make sense.

When I find two more 10/10 shows, someone has to take the boot. Otherwise, my absolute favorites are 10/10's.

I wouldn't give anything a bad score and put in my favorites cause that would imply I liked it and I only give bad scores to things I didn't like.

No, I only give my top score to anime that appeal to me personally, and therefore are in my favourites list. If I thought that an anime was pretty flawless except for not appealing to my tastes personally (which is impossible, but Spirited Away probably comes the closest) then it would get a 5+1 (approximately 9/10).

I'd have to say no. All of my 10's are in my favs and the remaining 3 spots are occupied by 9's. So in that regard I use the scores literally. Therefore any future 10 show would automatically be displacing a 9. I would be lowering or raising scores rather than putting in things "out of order".

The last spot was a difficult choice. Objectively Cowboy Bebop is a better show than So Ro Ra No Wo To but I enjoyed the latter more than I did the former. Golden Time, and Kimi ni Todoke were also contenders for the last spot.

Also, only one spot per franchise.

My scores take into rating my values in storytelling, but they don't fully encompass my emotive response to shows, which is also a large factor in favorites for me. Thus something I rated a 10 is not necessarily a favorite, and something I rated less than a 10 can be a favorite.

This is already the case with my current favorites. Two Banner of the Stars entries are rated 10s and Crest in the Stars is in my favorites as a stand-in for the entire franchise, and Kimi ni Todoke is both rated a 10 and in my favorites, but neither Katanagatari nor One Piece were rated as 10s by me despite being favorites, and there are shows I've rated 10 that aren't in favorites (Cowboy Bebop, The House of Small Cubes).

I embrace my subjectivity. To me, scores should be relative and based almost entirely on my enjoyment. A show that I score a 7 will almost always be more enjoyable to me than one I score a 6.

I reserve 9 and 10 for my favorites. 8 is the highest I'll ever score a show I don't consider one of my favorites. 9 is for shows that are my favorites yet have elements I don't like. 10 means it's one of my favorites and has nothing in it to detract from my enjoyment. It's flawless, not in the sense that it could not be better, but only in the sense that it has nothing that I would call a flaw.

I will be honest that I give Yu Yu Hakushou a 10 because it's Togashi-sensei's creation but I don't list it in my favourite because I were just partially watching it. Nevertheless I have read the full chapters of the manga. I don't put any low score anime in my favourite list.

Subjectivity does not mean enjoyment it means opinionated therefore even if you think something's good/bad it is still subjective it is more 'critical' but subjective nonetheless, unless you know that and you are simply using that word because everyone else is using it like that, than I am making myself look like an idiot

If I can recognize that it's masterfully executed without it leaving a personal imprint on me.
Plus, I have a 30+honorable mentions favorites list, it could end up as a mention only, just because of that.

I may put a 9 in my favorites and not a 10 because I may think objectively the '10' is better but it's just not my favorite. And vice versa. A 9 in my favorites may have a flaw that stopped it from being a 10 but it's still a personal favorite of mine.

So yes, both ways.

Nah, you don't look like an idiot. You make a fair point, that subjective doesn't necessarily mean based on enjoyment. But in my case, it does.

I'm often analytical when writing reviews and scoring shows; I like to dissect the show, determining just what exactly it is that makes me like or not like it. But I tend to measure them not against an objective definition of quality, but simply by my own preferences. Sometimes I'll score a show high on art even if it's simplistic, just because the style fits the show so well. Sometimes I'll score a show high on plot that's completely episodic, because I like comedy and in many cases a strong storyline can get in the way of the humor. Sometimes a single scene can add an extra point to my score, simply because of how well it's done. I'll even find pleasure in thinking about how I would have written a scene or the story differently. On the other hand, I'll sometimes be overly critical about elements that I found lacking, especially when they .

But when you add up all those pieces, the analysis and discovery and dissection, they simply add to or subtract from my enjoyment, and that's what I base my score on.

I have only 5 favorite anime and 5 favorite manga. Yet about 3 pages worth of anime rated 10. I think it's natural when your watch list is about 700 anime.

By the way, not all my favorites are rated 10. They are there because they appeal to me personally, not because they're the best anime/manga ever.

Hmm not necessarily. I don't rate animes but I'm sure that my favourite animes aren't all objectively a 10/10 (not that I know or pay too much attention to technical aspects when watching animes which is one of the reasons I don't feel like giving scores). Still they're my favourites for the sole reason that I enjoyed them a lot, probably even more than those that are considered to be the best by popular opinion.

If I rate an anime or manga over 8 then they have a chance to be on my favourites list. Sometimes I would rate 10 but it wouldn't be on my fav list because there's no space so I'll alternate very month or so.

Yeah, I have four 10s but only two of them are on my favorites. The other anime on my favorites are 9s and 8s. I don't think that just because an anime is rated a 10 out of 10, that it should be a favorite. My favorites are anime that stand out in a way that isn't necessarily just how good it is, but can instead be something like just the concept of the anime, or the characters.
