| For the people who have watched their fair share of anime and use only the Top-half of your rankings in almost every anime (80% 6+). I've got a few questions that I'll also answer. 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? 4) How easy do you give the 10s? |

| 1) Because I like most of anime I've seen, or at least found it satisfactory 2) Enjoyment 3) Of course, about 10% of my list, mostly shows I dropped and movies I didn't liked 4) Not easy - 17/617 |
| I don't use only the top half but I agree that that is the dominant part... Is just that I find most anime I watch to be at least fine (6). I have Pupa with a 1. I give a 10 when the story, animation, characters and motifs of the story are gorgeous and strongly impress me. |
  『 The truth has power because it’s the truth. And because it is the truth, that makes it just. It’s persuasive, isn’t it? Don’t you want truth like that? 』 |
| I tend to research anime before I start a new series, which means it's probably a premise that interests me and is well rated by others. For that reason, it's rare for me to run into an anime that I genuinely dislike, and would warrant a rating lower than 6. I do give out 9's scarcely, though, and only one anime has gotten a 10 from me. |
| 1. Because I usually drop series under 6. If I'm not liking it, is useless to watch it to the end, just a waste of time. 2. First, I have to like the script, specially dialogue and use of the narrative as a progression tool (in the case it's not a slice of life, where there is not story progression) and characterization of the characters. Then direction, and then enjoyment. 3. 82 of 470, plus 170 dropped wich means they would have been scored that way. 4. Only to shows or movies that are (on my opinion) master pieces. 15 of 470 |
| 1)Kinda dumb answer but, it's because I don't stick with series I'm not enjoying. Most of my completed ones are above 6; most of my dropped are below (or with no score at all). 2)Enjoyment 3)Yes (from my completed list): NGNL (Zero too), DitF, SukaSuka, Mahoutsukai no Yome, Sailor Moon Crystal, a few Pokemon movies, 4)I only have two 10's. I don't give 10 easily. |

| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? I pick shows that I have a good chance that I will like because I don't want to waste my time on bad shows.I have much better things to do with it. Therefore I also drop shows fast if I don't like them, and if I drop them fast, I don't feel that I'm entitled to rate them, so I usually don't rate drops. Therefore I end up having high ratings most of the time. This doesn't mean that I do not experiment, but as I created MAL rather late, my experimental phase was over by then. I also don't add/rate drops that I drop too fast in my list, and usually if I like show in the beginning, I continue to like it. 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? As I said above, if show can get through pre-screening process and I don't drop it in few episodes, its likely something that I like. Thus it receives at least 5, usually 6+ because it's that good. There are exceptions when show goes wrong by the end and I don't want to drop them anymore since I got so far. Then it receives less, but it's rare. 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? Some shows that started out fine, but gotten very bad midway, and I didn't feel like dropping them anymore. Big Order, Mayoiga and To Love Ru are the most grave of these. 4) How easy do you give the 10s? I would say that I have a fair share of them, although many of them are comprised of multi season shows where I rated multiple seasons with a 10. Otherwise I don't think I give them too easily. But since I pick shows carefully, and I'm not an completionist, I think it makes sense to watch relatively high share of masterpiece-grade shows. I don't think that masterpiece needs to be perfect as some other users do, so I give it if I think that show really deserves it enjoyment-wise, and has little faults. |

| Well, in my case my account is pretty new and I don't remember most of the shows I dropped. I also know very well what genres I like and what I don't, I usually enjoy shows that I think I'm going to enjoy. I tend to drop mostly seasonal shows because it's when I usually try different things that I probably won't enjoy because it's pretty easy to do. I just go out of my way to check shows that I think I'm going to love. Also, even tho I enjoy "deep shows" I don't expect all of them to be like that, so I also can enjoy trash sometimes if I want to watch some brainless show. I almost don't give any 10, 1 of the 4 shows I have listed as a 10 is a troll score. 3 of 1264 shows is pretty low imo hahaha How much a fair share would be? hahah |

tlato_but said: 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? I guess there's two reasons, one is that I carefully select the animes I put to the PTW List, and the other is that I also evaluate the technical aspects of the shows, that's why Maho no Yome is a 7 rather than a 6, similarly, Aishiteruze Baby should be a 10 rather than the actual 9. tlato_but said: 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? I use a basis of 6,85 to rank the animes. I always say, if I choose to watch an anime, it's because it attracted my attention. tlato_but said: 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? Only 5: Charlotte (4), Trinity Seven, Märchen Mädchen, Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san and an extra from Panty & Stocking. (5) tlato_but said: 4) How easy do you give the 10s? Every fourth anime gets a 10 from me, exactly a 26,64% (65/244). |

| I mean to use the whole 1-10 scale but I still fit in that "(80% 6+)" condition according to malgraph, anyway 1) I don't usually finish the show I hate. I don't rate dropped show, and the show must interest me in some shape or form for me to pick it up. So my score gravitates towards 6+ 2) I don't only rate 6+, but my basis of rating is a mixture of production value, enjoyment, and whether or not the show succeeds on what it tries to do (though the proportion differs from show to show) 3) I don't consider them outliers. 4) 20 shows out of 601. Not really easy I guess. |
 |
| 1. usually pick shows to watch depending on if it look like or at least hope that i will like it 2. 7 and above is base on how much i like it, while 6 usually a “eh dont care for it” 3. unfortunately i dont drop, a good number of shows that the overall presentation (animation is a big factor) has to be so bad that i either skim through the episode every week or so infuriating that i end up doig something else 4. not very easy. only like 3%. has to be very consistent (usually making me laugh or being very wholesome) the entire way to where its memorable for me or it has to live up to ALL the hype. not even my favorite shows ever (thats not Gintama) was given 10s |
| I feel like I was one of the guys that gave a raiting of 6 + to every show I watched before. But in my second year in MAL I started to watch anime more then before. I went into genre I had never watched before, so my score began to go down. In 1 year my mean score went down from 6,79 to 6,18. I think if ppl started to watch more the mean score woud go down too. Since I started to watched a hige amount of each season my score have gone down extremly much. And if ppl are researching and picking genre they like, the chance of them watching something bad might be lower from ppl like me and some of my mal friends that are watching a hige amount of shit each season. |
 |
| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? There are a lot of better things to do in life than watching anime series that I would rate below 5 so its no brainer for me to stay clear away from every anime series (or films, or books for that matter) of which, after having researched them, I think that I would not like them; or if the anime I am watching turns out to be a lot worse then I thought it would be I drop it without hesitation and often without rating it - there is no "three episodes rule" followed by me. 4) How easy do you give the 10s? I gave 10/10 only to 3% of all the anime I have watched so far, so I don't give it easily. |

tlato_but said: For the people who have watched their fair share of anime and use only the Top-half of your rankings in almost every anime (80% 6+). I've got a few questions that I'll also answer. 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? 4) How easy do you give the 10s? I use the bottom half, but only around 19% of my list occupies the bottom half of the scale, mostly due to the fact that: A.) If it doesn't interest me I'm just not going to even start watching it in the first place let alone rate it B.) If I do start the show and I'm rating it below a 6 I'll just drop it because there's no point watching something I'm not enjoying. In this way I think it's absolutely natural for the average person to use much more of the top half of the scale than the bottom half. The inevitable results would be that the only things ending up in your bottom half would be the mistakes you made, the junk you finished because it was really short, or the good series that had an unpredictable paradigm shift into bad territory. As to your questions: 1. I use the bottom too, but the number of things that I complete in those categories is very low because I drop things and screen out the potential shows I'm not going to like beforehand by reading plot descriptions and watching trailers. So not liking something I'm about to watch is much less likely than me liking it. 2. A combination of enjoyment and the observable parts of what I think represent a quality show being present like a story, likable characters, and whether or not the animation, music, etc. was well-made. 3. Maybe Inferno Cop, because it was hilarious, but it was made to look horribly (probably intentionally) bad and cheesy. 4. Only 4% (rounding up) of my list is 10s, so not at all easily. |

| @LandMaker @JustMonaka from my point of view both you guys seem like you don't like anime that much if you're willing to drop stuff that is 6 or below (which I'm assuming is just average for you guys). Would you say that you have a very specific taste in anime, so that is the reason why you drop so many shows? Am I correct in that assumption? I like anything as long as it is executed well, and I enjoy most anime I watch, at least enough to finish most anime. I'm not the target demographic here: my mean score is below 5, and I use 5 and 6 as a collective average, but following my assumption, I (generally) like anime more than both of you though. You can look at my rating distribution on my profile. Wondering about both your thoughts on this. Feel free to discredit me entirely (there's no way to truly compare enjoyment after all). |

Ther wasa time when I would watch everything till the end. A time when I would think a shoe I rated with 5 was good enough to finish it. Now I'm older, ya know. Instead, now I drop everything I think I can't enjoy. I've seen myself dropping shows from its first 30 seconds to 8 chapters in. And because it's an assumption, I don't usually rate a show I didn't finish. On the other hand, I do this with everything, from games, movies, live action series. And I think its because I became more critical against everything; not in the elitist way, but in a "why I did like this show" way. Not that I don't enjoy anime, more like I enjoy it in a different way. (Don't even know if I am answering your question, feel free to keep asking) |
| @LandMaker nah you answered it sufficiently. I have dropped a few things and given it a decent score because I respected the work but wasn't interested enough to keep up with it, so I can related to what you're saying. Maybe if I watched more than just 150 anime or whatever I have right now I would feel the same way as you |
| When I last checked, I had a very high mean score. Here’s what I had not a long time ago: 1. I only use the top half because MAL’s average scoring is dumb, and allows for weird scores. Because MAL takes an average, putting a show that I enjoy or thought was good at 6 or 7 means that I will likely be lowering the average score. Also, because generally shows <7 are bad and unwatchable, I automatically adjusted 7 to be the standard for a watchable show to account for MAL. 2. Generally I rate on enjoyment, but it would be more accurate to say that I rate on enthralment. How much did I get caught up in the themes motifs and symbols, praise the ending, or generally fall in love with the series? 3. I don’t know about outliers, but my list is constantly changing. A 6 could easily move to a 7 after a rewatch or just epiphany on how good it is, or fall to a 3 after realizing how bad an author is, or after a cooling off period in which I realize that I only accepted the show because nothing that I was watching around it was very good either. I will say, however, there are more outliers on the positive side. White Album 2 used to be one of my favorites, and while I still enjoy it, the visuals of that series were ass. I also am fair to stuff I don’t enjoy (or so I’d like to think) so while SAO is (still) ass and I hate it for all it’s worth, stein’s fate I put on hold as an 8, because it was good even if I didn’t understand it. 4. It used to be hard to give out 10s. Now it’s more like this: 1. I’m starting to use more of the MAL range because shows suck. I still have an average of 7, but more shows, specifically isekai, are leaving a bad taste in my mouth and I need to put them somewhere. There is no spot in the positive half of scores for garbage like SAO, accel world, smartphone, slime, GS, etc. I gotta put them somewhere, so they are starting to fill in the bottom of the list. 2. I’m starting to rank them as it’s own rating system. There’s enough garbage at the bottom of the list that it can be used to rate anime against each other. 10>9>8>7>6>5>4>3>2>1. If a show is scored higher than another, it is a better show. With a list saturated at the top, it was hard to rate them against each other, but there’s so much bad now that it fills in the list. 3. Only outliers are that I’m still changing to adapt to the new grading system, so my scores may not be adjusted yet. Otherwise same as before. 4. I’m giving more 10s because I am taking AP Lit in school now. I’ve been told to “give the writer credits for what they did well” so I’m learning to pick up in themes motifs and symbols more. After paying attention, it is easy to tell the difference between a 8 and a 9 and a 9 and a 10, so that gives me more 10s but pushes out more 9s. |
Art is dead, and we killed it.  |
| because i only watch the anime that i know i will enjoy, i look at the PVs and synopsis of the shows i watch and also read spoilers if its an adaptation or with source material my lowest score is 4 and its labeled "bad" by MAL and i gave that kind of score to shows i dropped only |
| I don't restrict myself to only 6+ scores, in fact my score scheme is 1 to 9, specifically. 10 is currently not used. However, I enjoy a lot of what I watch, one way or another, and 6 to 9 means that I enjoyed it overall, at least a little bit, so most of my stuff is scored from 6 to 9. https://graph.anime.plus/GlennMagusHarvey/ratings,anime 5 would be "meh" while below that is "I didn't like it". |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| 1) When I started rating I used MALs wording of the ratings as a reference, how I read them was basically how I applied them to series. 2) The simplest way to go about it a majority of the score (like 6 points) is based on the general execution and how I felt it was handled. The remaining points (4 or so) are divided into two sections being personal enjoyment and emotional impact. 3) I have 14 that are below 6 with the lowest being casshern sins, blade of the immortal and violence jack's second episode. 4) Since I use emotional impact as a basis giving out 10s is very rare in that I only have 21 entries rated 10 (in some cases just being multiple parts of a franchise). Many series I highly enjoyed and felt they were executed really well so I'm more likely to give out 9s. But they're just missing something to really hook me on a personal level and put them over the top. |

| Never gave an anime a 10. I dont rate staff that i watched a long time ago and know i cant be a good judge off. Also, i dont rate staff that i believe cant be objectively rated or that i cannot objectively rate. I drop anything thats not enjoyable enough after a couple episodes, I dropped more than I completed. I dont rate staff which I have dropped, also, I usually drop them because of my personal tastes and not because I truly think they suck. Eventually, the animes that are given a score on my list, are anime I Actually appericiate. |
| I only use the top half for manga cause I haven't read many and dont feel the need to classify them as extensively. Also I'm very selective with manga. |

You can look at my rating distribution on my profile. Wondering about both your thoughts on this. Feel free to discredit me entirely (there's no way to truly compare enjoyment after all). Why would dropping stuffs I hate means that I hate anime in general? 82% of my completed list, which translates to roughly 500 anime, still consists of what I think is good. As a comparison, I only have 30 dropped shows. Now granted, my drop list could have been double the size if I add everything I put off within 10 minutes of the first episode. But even then, I still have a lot more positive than negative. I don't really like to use the term "average" because it's kind of a vague scale. To me, 5 is barely watchable, 6 is an "ok, I don't regret watching it", and 7 is the base line of something I can recommend to someone. Just for a perspective, if I were to rate every show I dropped, none of them would get higher than a 4. When a show is that bad, I don't usually have enough time and motivation to finish it. |
|
| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? Because I want to reserve the lower half of my ratings for shows that I genuinely don't like or were disappointed by. It's pretty rare that I give out scores like this. It's not that I'm a casual, I just that most of the anime I watch tend to have what I like while also keeping me intrigued. I have yet to give anything below a four because I don't believe I've seen anime that horrible yet. 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? I read the synopsis of an anime, then watch it. If it has everything I'm looking for, then I rate it well. I tend to rate shows using a ratio of enjoyment as well as an analysis of the show's details. I greatly enjoyed watching the second season of Seven Deadly Sins, but being real, it had a ton of errors that made it worse than the first season. 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? My shows below six are:
4) How easy do you give the 10s? I mean I have quite a few tens, but it isn't often that I give them out. Only when I think a series has exceeded my expectations do I give it a ten. So far, the only series that I've given a ten are: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Erased, Assassination Classroom, Shiki, Steins;Gate, Made in Abyss, Noragami Aragoto, and Baccano! |

| @JustMonaka okay I see our misunderstanding. I use 5 as a baseline of a recommendation and for me a 7 is really good. Everything I rated 7-10 has AT LEAST a mean score of 8.07 on MAL, and most of those mean scores are over 8.4 |
| 1) Cuz I usually watch anime that I know I know I'm going to like. After developing genre preferences and reading an anime's synopsis, you can pretty much figure out if you're going to like the anime or not. 2) General Enjoyment and overall quality of the show. 3) Honey and Clover (5), Vampire Knight S1&S2 (5), Brother's Conflict (5), Diabolik Lovers (5), Golden Time (5), Free (5), Gurren Lagann (4), Acchi Kocchi (4), Love Live (4). 4) Not easily. Out of 146 completed anime, I have 8 10s. |

| 1) Because I like the most of the shows I choose 2) Enjoyment. Sometimes female cast, I admit it. 3) Like 8 (without movies) I don't score the dropped ones 4) A little easy |

| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? It somehow happened. I realised, I was not using the lower marks anyway and so I made it my official rating policy. I do use 5 though. 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? As many people said, I also don't go into anime blindly, I know what I will enjoy and it usually warrants at least 6. 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? lol yeah, I rated Pupa 4 (wow, I was so generous) because it really was the worst. I watched it just because of anime watching challenge. And I have bunch of fives but as I said, I do officially use them. 4) How easy do you give the 10s? From 421 completed animes, I gave 10 to seven of them...so I think I'm pretty damn stingy with tens. 10 is reserved not only for masterpieces but for the shows that are special to me in a different way than the ones that are 9 to me. My rating in general depends mostly on my mood and enjoyment. |
| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? If I don't think it's good... I don't continue. Why should I watch an average show I hardly enjoy? (didn't get the difference, so I'm answering both) 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? If I have anime with less than 6? Yeah, but it's damn rare. 4) How easy do you give the 10s? Once it was easy... lately... not too much. |
 |
| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? i watch shows that i think i will probably like and im usually right about myself 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? i guess i answered this already, but to expand: i like a variety of shows of pretty much any genre. that said i do have preferences, but they will not be the end-all-be-all for me. i can still enjoy a show with tags that i dont find interesting. so going into anime open minded helps me appreciate it better. 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? i have plenty of anime under 6, its just that i have so many more above 6 that my avg score is 7. short answer is too much to name 4) How easy do you give the 10s? ehh, typically more than the average person. if i genuinely feel really good after watching a show then i can give it a 10. watching with people can boost this as watching as a group can pretty much make me feel better overall i guess (if that makes sense?) but if i enjoyed from start to finish without any qualms, then why shouldn't it be a 10? |
 |
| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? Anything below a 6 is something that I would have dropped before finishing. There's no point in finishing something that isn't even enjoyable. Refusing to drop anime is a waste of time imo. That being said if something is so bad that it's enjoyable, I'll probably finish it and rate it using the lower half of ratings. 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? I use MAL's "rating system" and it's worked well for me so far. 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? Tokyo Ghoul √A. I enjoyed it when I started watching anime, so I gave it a pretty good rating. I saw my rating recently, and decided to update it to around a 5 (which is probably a bit too positive a score for what it is.) 4) How easy do you give the 10s? I don't give 10s very often, as not everything I watch is amazing or a masterpiece. I imagine that list will get bigger over time, as I finish more and more anime. |
 |
| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? ☆ Because I pick anime I watch very carefully to make sure it's worth my time. ☆ I usually do research first and predict whether it will be an enjoyment for me or not. ☆ I don't hesitate to drop anything that no longer worth my time even though I'm close to finishing the show. ☆ I don't rate anime I failed to complete. I only rate anime I completed. 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? ☆ Personal enjoyment and preferences 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? ☆ Yes. Like two or three. The latest one was Tokyo Ghoul: re S2. I rated it 1/10. Petty reason being that I was so angry they butchered scenes I love. 4) How easy do you give the 10s? ☆ Not easy I guess. But I tend to rate a series same all of it's sequels (I rated all Gintama 10/10). But if series alone I only have like 5 or 6 series that I rated 10/10. |

Because I want to reserve the lower half of my ratings for shows that I genuinely don't like or were disappointed by. It's pretty rare that I give out scores like this. It's not that I'm a casual, I just that most of the anime I watch tend to have what I like while also keeping me intrigued. I have yet to give anything below a four because I don't believe I've seen anime that horrible yet. But 6 is "fine" it's not garbage ! :o :o |

As I said, most things that are below four are the ones I genuinely don't really like. |

| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? I'm picky with the shows I watch, I read reviews, watch trailers etc... before deciding to spend my time on a series so I tend to at least somewhat enjoy everything I pick up. 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? I guess mostly enjoyment but also quality, likeability of characters definitely plays a part too. 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? Looking only at anime i've completed I gave Yuri on ice a 5. I gave into the hype but it's just not something I enjoyed. It was okay, i think i kept watching thinking it would grow on me but nope! 4) How easy do you give the 10s? Rarely, and they generally go to the longer, reputable shows eg: hxh2011, FMAB etc... I mean if ive decided to watch 50+ eps of an anime it needs to be pretty darn good. I rate movies separately from series, so spirited away also received a 10 from me. In my mind its generally 10: Brilliant 9: Great 8: Very Good 7: Good (although this also gets given to very enjoyable series that I perhaps felt were missing something) 6: Decent, or even good but where a single element was a let down eg: the ending. I mostly give out 7's and 8's. Anything below a 6 i'd generally drop but like I said I'm careful with what I watch so this is rare. |

| 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? I like what I watch, and I watch what I like. Must be the cause. +I tend to wait till a show as stop airing to watch it, not to get hype by a great ep1 but disappointing ending. 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? I have a "1.33 higher than global mean" on anime.plus, I'm probably too generous. But I consider that no anime can be perfect, so no point holding back on givin' 10/10s on anime that I really enjoyed, I don't really compare to the rest of what I've seen, I rate as I feel. Also, I'm really open minded so 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? have some yeah, when they are painful to finish (from past year watching challenge or just hold this I regret completing.) 4) How easy do you give the 10s? way too much... xD (almost 20% of my list ^^') but can't change the way I am. |

UrbanSpaceman said: 1) Because I like most of anime I've seen, or at least found it satisfactory 2) Enjoyment 3) Of course, about 10% of my list, mostly shows I dropped and movies I didn't liked 4) Not easy - 17/617 I agree with this. Like, I'm only going to watch shows that interest me in first place, and it it turns out that its garbage, I'll drop it much before. So yeah, most of the anime I finish I genuinely enjoyed for one reason or another (besides the rare anime I hate qatch or want to see how it ends). 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? I like most of what I watch. I also rate on enjoyment, and the majority of what I choose to watch is based on reviews and interesting premises/studios I know I like 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? Enjoyment, which comes from plot and character development 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? Definitely. Sometimes I find a bad show and I give it the benefit of the doubt and see if it gets better, and it doesnt. Or I've watched too much of it that I feel I might as well finish or I enjoy how garbage it is 4) How easy do you give the 10s? Pretty easy lol |

tlato_but said: For the people who have watched their fair share of anime and use only the Top-half of your rankings in almost every anime (80% 6+). I've got a few questions that I'll also answer. 1) What's the reason you only use the top half of your ratings? 2) What's the basis you use to only rank animes with a grade over 6? 3) Do you have any outliers with a note below 6? Which ones? 4) How easy do you give the 10s? 1) The show is competent to present a plot with a beginning, climax, and an end. 2) Story, characters, setting, etc. Whatever thoughts come into my head. 3) Afro Samurai. I watched the dub featuring Samuel Jackson who voiced the protag. Thought having Jackson would be a great experience, but I overestimated. Encouragement of Climb season 1 was a group of middle school girls that talked more about hiking and preparations than actually hiking. On a fair note, season 2 showed more hiking locations. 4) I don't give 10/10s. |

| I can't be bothered seriously rating any of the shows i watch so I only rate shows I think are 10s. Except for Tokyo Ghoul Re: Season 2. I felt obligated to give it a 1. |
