Title. I've usually scored objectively, meaning I just give the score by feeling, not comparing the show with any other anime or something like that. But this sometimes ends up so that when I later on compare two anime to each other, one having score 8 and other 9, I feel like anime with 8 was actually better.
I wonder if it's better to pick one anime and compare all others to it when scoring...
What do you think?

Just score things however the hell you feel like it. There is no "best" way to do it and there's no point getting so hung up over something as silly as scoring cartoons on a random internet site.

I try to balance out "quality" (art, story, sound) and enjoyment. My 9s and 10s are guaranteed to be good and my 1s and 2s are always bad, but 5s and 6s can be made up of so many combinations between quality and enjoyment that those scores don't really say too much about my actual thoughts on the anime. Himegoto, Penguin Musume, and Moetan were all rather shitty but I enjoyed them so I wouldn't want to give them scores below 5. Hyouka, Zero no Tsukaima, and Ouran Host Club weren't all that bad but I just didn't enjoy them so 5 seems like a suitable rating. Anne Happy, GochiUsa, and Wakaba Girl were all very average overall.

This is my system, but obviously it's not objectively the best since there is ambiguity. All systems have ambiguity, though.

Sorry if there has been similair thread before.
for this particular case, have you asked yourself "was it reaaaaaally better? then why i rated this 8 / 9 ?"

comparing might be a better scoring system .. but to similar anime, not all anime to the same title

you can at least compare when you see irregularities in hindsight

How the hell are you supposed to rate a show objectively? You are giving your opinion on a show. Even if you judge the characters, art style, etc. and not just your enjoyment, that's still your opinion! There are people who think Evangelion has the best characters ever created, and there are some who laugh at how shitty they are.

this anime is 1080p (and not that 4:3 shit eww), has an above average number of dialogue lines and keyframes, and have objectivelly fapped to the doujins a record number of times

thus it's a clear 10/10

Its only natural that your 8s are better than the 9s, especially if you need help with rating.

Well like, it depends from person to person. It's like you can watch it without being turned on, but you like watch it because you want to be turned on, it could turn you on. That' kind of thing. Ecchi is complicated.

"..Objectively, meaning I just score by feeling".

Lol. There are no feelings where objectivity is concerned.

But I wouldn't say there's a best way to score an anime. People will rate differently based on their own priorities, their own biases, their own experience. Two people could enjoy an anime the same but rate it differently due to their own systems and weightings. As far as I care, so long as you use the entire scale you can rate how you want.

There is no such better way in scoring anime. As long as you don't let others influenced you and you gave them score honestly, then you already done the best way.

I think this is what OP actually meant :
"It's easier (not better) to judge them by comparing them".
My answer is yes.

This is wrong, actually. What you feel is objective. You could test for how much someone enjoyed something by measuring the amount of dopamine released in their body, for example.

That doesn't make the score objective in terms of evaluation, but that's not what the OP is saying.

"friend"

Do you mean the "friend" you just whimsically accepted on the social network, or the "friend" you have somewhat known in the internet and have, talked or have shared some common stuff, like, genres you like, series/manga.

You know, like the "friend" on your friend list in MAL but never really talked shit about him/her... It's just a "friend".

Pretty much however you like. Will your list be one where people will know which you enjoyed the most? Or be one where someone can be sure of quality, but have to keep in mind that a 6 may not necessarily mean you didn't like it? Or a mix of both? The important thing is just to be consistent with your scores.
If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

If the anime has a good plot and no fan services included, I usually rate it as 8 (lowest) and 10 (highest) but if the anime has a bad story and shitty plot, that's the time I rate it as 3 the lowest and 5 the highest.

This is for me but tbh I just give what i think is appropriate. If u don't like it then just give it a 5/10. Don't rate considering plot, character, art, music and suchlike if you personally don't enjoy it. Who wants to rate a 8/10 anime with a 8/10 when you enjoy it to a 6/10 level?

Most of the time, the highest ratings of 9-10 are the series I believed were among the best in quality, characters and stories, yet I'll rate series 7-8 if I just really liked the series. It's mostly just a matter of opinion though.
In the long run, just rate the series you liked the best the highest because most of this judgement is highly subjunctive and a matter of personal taste anyway.
