Don't send me your 1-10 scale.

I want to know how? Solely enjoyment?
I have a hard time with the "sound" one.
Should I rate it for sound effects or the music?

This isn't like the other threads.

Also, I rate it like this:
Story: 0/10
Art: 0/10
Sound: 0/10
Character: 0/10
Enjoyment 0/10
Overall: 0/10
0/50

What can I replace "sound" with?

I sort of go by gut instinct. I set 5 as average so I try to compare it to the anime I have seen before to determine where it fits.

I rate based in "everything":
-Story
-Characters
-Art
-Sound
-Enjoyment (I only give extra points, it decidec if I give a 8 or a 9, not more)

I think that as sound you could think about voice acting, sound effects, music and opening & ending, in the two latters if the lyrics have any meaning, I think it should increase the rating.

I rate largely based on how memorable a show was, or how much impact it had. 9 and 10 are reserved for shows I enjoyed the most, my favorites. Rule of thumb for when I rate a show though is: if I liked it, 6, if I didn't, 4. Basically completely subjectively, I guess

The question isn't the same. I want to know from what aspects of the anime you rate it from.

How do you judge the anime? Do you use the 5 Story, Art etc.

But, say for example... You have a perfect system, and you absolutely loved one anime, but the sound quality wasn't really in check for a 10/10, but everything else was?
And you want it to be 10/10 in all.

If I like it I give it a high rating.
If the anime has a sequel I give it the same score as I did to the prequel on the first episode, but if it gets boring I decrease the score by one, and it can keep decreasing until it gets better.
I don't rate all the anime the same way, for more info check my profile.

Don't speak on everyone's behalf. I'm not forcing you. This optional, so, what are you, fucking retarted? I want to know what everyone thinks so I (probably) can change my thoughts on rating anime. It's nice to know what everyone thinks. It could change a lot. What I like may not be what the majority likes, but it can still help me change the way I rate things.

A balance between style and substance. I dont even include enjoyment anymore.
I rated Watamote with enjoyment 10/10, but I didn't think it deserved 10, so I rated it like 8.1-8.4 something inbetween. I don't remember.

There's nothing in this life that it's perfect -_- so in that cases I rate based in enjoyment (if it deserves a 9 but I absolutely love it, I give it a 10).

No, like, something that isn't related to sound.
I rate it with specific ratings, such as 8.72(5 - The five isn't shown in the list, but yeah)
Should I drop Story, Art, Sound, Character and Enjoyment? And just rate it whatever I think? I mean, I find it very hard to make such a specific rating without calculating.

Why does it absolutely have to stay at a 50 point scale? You could still convert it into percentages with any number of categories, they just won't be whole numbers for the most part.

But if you insist on limiting it to 5 categories, I don't think anyone can help you.

Sound quality? Christ, that's like the least important part of an anime. All the Japanese VAs are professionals so it's doubtful they'll sound like shit and poor music doesn't decrease the enjoyment. Good music just increases it. A good OP/ED song might make the show more memorable.

Also art and animation should be 2 separate fields since the art basically means the character designs and backgrounds while animation deals with fluidity, CGI and that type of shit. Not that I care since I just rate things whatever I feel like. The more it pisses me off the lower the score.

I rate Art for Art Style and animation. If the art style is amazing and the animation is decent, it won't change that much.

Why is it hard to rate without calculating? Like, if I love an anime (Fairy Tail, for example) and I know I love it. I know I'll rate it somewhere between a 8 and a 10. Then I think of things I might not have liked so much about it, like if I thought it dragged on in places. Then I knock down the score by 1 point and settle for final score of 9. It's not difficult, lol.

Not sure if this thread is serious or not but I'll give a serious answer. Imo you should weight all the elements because it doesn't make sense to use 0/10 for everything if not everything is equally important for you. For me personally characters and story are most important factors while visuals is the least important one, so my scores divide like this:
30% story
30% characters
20% enjoyment
15% sound (ost, op&ed, voice acting)
5% visuals (art and animation)

So if sound is not an important factor for you, then it should be like 5% of a score so that an anime can still be 10/10 even if you think the sound sucked.

But if the art style is "conventional" (mundane and what's mostly used, accepted, etc.), but the anime is amazing and deserves 10/10, then it won't work.... If I get rid of Sound and there are only 4, then I don't know...

I think I'll just remove sound, because it isn't as important as the other, to me, at least. Thanks for the opinion! It helped me draw a conclusion. Also, I think it would work some time.
Also, this thread is serious. Should I write "[SERIOUS]" in the title?

was it good?: Score in top half of scale (6-10)
Was it bad?: Score in bottom half of scale (1-5)

To determine specific score:
1. Story: Was the story well written and Entertaining? Yes/no
2. Characters: Were the characters likable? Did they they develop? Yes/no
3. Emotional Impact: Did the show make me feel something? Did I care about the characters and what was happening to them? Yes/no
4. The Ending: Did the show even end? If so was it was it conclusive and did it fit the show? Yes/no
5. Technical Specs: Was the show made well? Did it have good animation, music, etc? Yes/no

Yes Answers (even if only partially true) = +1
No Answers = 0

Add accumulated points to determine specific score.

Example: You answered yes 3 times.

If you thought this show was good your rating will be an 8
If you thought the show was bad your rating will be a 3

That's a bit too confusing for little me. I like using decimals so I don't get the same all the time.
Also, the emotional impact can't be used for all anime.

Set systems always seemed flawed to me.
Using OP's starting post-system with the example of Gag manga Biyori:

Story: 0/10 - Basicly non-existend
Art: 2/10 - Fairly basic
Sound: 4/10 - Basic, but catchy OP
Character: 1/10 - only a few returning characters, nearly no development
Enjoyment 10/10 - Funniest show in ages
Overall: 17/50

So a gag/comedy-anime show does what it's supposed to do: Being funny and entertaining the audiance, but is basically a 3/10 because it doesn't deliver in aspects that are nowhere relevant.
I prefer just rating my enjoyment and maybe in some rare cases adding/removing some points, for being innovative, provoking, silly etc.pp.

I mostly rate anime base on how much it did for me, but my overall criteria is:

Characters - Music - Art/Animation (the 2nd and 3rd being from a personal perspective) - Impact (moreso how much did it left for me) - Enjoyment.

I took the story part away from the criterias since I realized that I'm more of a "how much did the anime series did for me in the end in terms of satisfaction or resolution". Enjoyment is pretty much the amount of fun I had. Though at the moment Idk if that seems rather vague but I think "Impact" can go as how much the story did in a way. Idk.

I rate very few anime. The ones I have rated I just look at 3 things: characters, plot and overall enjoyment.

If there is a factor that blows me away that is not one of those 3 it will probably be factored into my rating.
