I tend to give a lot more 8s than I do other scores. I'm pretty generous with this score if there's something about a show that puts it above a 7.

My most common I believe is a 6.


It's hard to delete a thread that has already been made. A mod can just simply tell me that. Plus, I'm asking why it's a more common score on people's list so it's a more meaningful discussion. You can't really determine why a person has a common rating simply by looking at their profile.

I agree lol. I would just be a bit careful how you word it.

I never give 1s. So the average between 2 and 10 is 6. I also most commonly give 6s.

My most common is 7 but my mean score is ≈6.5. 7 is a safe score for something a liked quite a bit but still indicates there are plenty of shows above it.

i tend to give out 7s a lot. propably bc i like a lot of shows but i dont find a lot of enjoyment in them. might be that i dont find as much as enjoyment or appreciation in anime as i used to which actually makes kinda sad bc i wanna like other high rated shows but i just cant.

Another person here that often tends to give 7s.
AN easy explanation to this is partly to my way of rating shows, 4-6 being neutral and up from seven what I like. Since I admittedly like anime, but rarely absolutely love, many series tend to fall to the "really good but not that great" category, which tends to be 7.
I like talking about anime.

I do give a lot of 5s too, but if the anime has an episode, concept, character that I really like, it puts it in a 6 for me.

Yeah my most common score is 7 because 7 is the average of series (6-10) which i consider good. but i don't think i am very lenient. Because i avoid watching any series that has chances of me give 5-1 so thats why my lower limit scores are very low.

Why? I don't know. I'm fairly lenient with my scores I suppose. It was probably 7 before I went an pruned some of my 9s.

I don't generally rate anime I even sort of disliked below a 5 or 6. It's only anime that I found incredibly boring or had an aspect that I strongly disliked.

6. I give this to anime that I enjoyed but didn't think was extraordinary. I also drop shows that I think will be below 6 so that has an impact.

I have a lot of 10s but that's only because JoJo and AoT have a lot of parts and seasons

my average is 8.3 so i give out a lot of high scores. 7 is usually my base rating (the show is pretty good, it made me laugh, it didn't feel like a waste of time basically). 8 is a little better than that, but maybe something from the plot or an annoying character prevented me from enjoying it fully and giving the show a 9 or 10.

My most coming is 6 or 7. I kinda start a show at 6. Then I take points or give depending how i liked them if the show was just a nice watch it keeps 6, if it was a bit more than that I give it a 7. And if I really enjoyed it a 8. I give 9 to those shows i loved slot and made me think, plus if I come back and rewatch them makes me wanna rate them higher. Rating 10 is hard cause what's considered perfect if not only on my perspective.

My top are the following:
7/10 (76 anime scored 7)
9/10 (40 anime scored 9)
10/10 (38 anime scored 10)
8/10 (37 anime scored 8)
6/10 (34 anime scored 6)

Yes, I enjoy anime easily.

As someone who studies creative writing, and story writing/craft history (among other things), personally it just makes me much more appreciative of most things that I watch and read, more than I did before I studied these things. So it really has to do with the fact that I'm more respectful and appreciative about what I watch, because I at least understand what it tries to do and enjoy it for that.

I do easily enjoy things, and a lot of things are good at resonating with me in several ways. Anime teaches me many things.

But, whether you like it or not, me knowing a lot about writing doesn't make it any less of personal taste.

6-7/10 might be because it was "good enough," but didn't exactly resonate with me, or did enough to strike me. If I haven't completed an anime (still on "watching") and it's 6-7/10, this is why.

8/10 is somewhere between 7 and 9 and really differs.

9-10/10 is because the anime did something to deeply invoke me, which once again, truly differs depending on the anime.

I could really spend twenty-five paragraphs on why I love each anime specifically, but truly, anything out of sheer enjoyment is arbitrary. After all, this is entertainment.

I think it would be between 7 and 8. I usually base my score depending on how much the anime entertained me or made me excited. I don't usually score too low either, unless the anime has bored me or I no longer find it interesting.

7s.

These are mostly any anime that I simply like or I find entertaining. of course, I would take into consideration other factors like plots, characters, animation, etc. but if it is decent and not so overly noticeably irritating while I'm watching, then that deserves a 7 for me. If there are some errors and mistakes that I just can't blindly accept, that'll belong to 6 or lower and if the show touches my heart or absolutely impacted my whole soul that I can't put into words, then they're between 8-10.

and I do not usually watch anime to critically analyze it but to enjoy it, and I can easily enjoy and appreciate any anime as long as they are decent and fits in my criteria of being enjoyable. But I must say I really avoid trashy anime so I guess it partly affects my numbers in giving lower scores.
