A lot of users here are very harsh, and even small flaws in the series make them bump down their scores.

So, do you have high standards in ANime watching, and only a few of them are masterpieces to you?

I don't, I like virtually everything I watch and very rarely explicitly not enjoy something, but if I dislike something, then that says a lot about it

Not really, i tend to overlook most of the flaws that catch my eye aslong as its nothing too big. I justs watch for enjoyment and not to criticize everything

Nah, maybe coz I haven't watched a lot, but I don't want every show to be perfect, I can watch any show as long as it's enjoyable

I have reasonable standards however I cringe hard when I look at some of the users' anime taste here.

This song aptly describes their anime taste:

No. I tend to be pretty generous with my scoring. I think the most scores in my list are 8s. I'm pretty hesitant to give scores of 9s and 10s though.

As long as it has good quality and is entertaining, it's pretty much a 7 or higher for me.

Nope
I have the famous shit taste.

If the anime has a cute 2D girl, I'll enjoy it.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

An anime just has to have one enjoyable aspect overshadowing the mediocre parts, flaws, imperfections, you name it and I'm gonna like it.

Not sure. I suppose my standards are high, if I consider a show to be less than a 6/10 I won't watch it, simply because I watch anime for entertainment and don't really care about completing obscure animes.

In other words, users with lower mean scores are elites. In that case, users with high mean score are just monkeys... eh then I am a monkey too.

I have a low mean score, but a lot of 8-9-10. It means that I get bored pretty easily, but once I'm hooked, I don't think my standards are super high.

no, if I enjoy the anime then i give it a 10, all that extra stuff that people take into consideration before scoring (character development, plot, music, visuals) is unnecessary and just an excuse for people to give certain anime a bad score.

This has nothing to do with scores, I'm talking about people who want everything to be perfect to enjoy the show

But I'm pretty sure the more I watch shows, I tend to develop my own standards. And I believe there are no such things called high or low standards. I think it's very relative towards each person and don't felt too belittle just because that person has such low mean score, doesn't mean that person has high standards. Maybe that person is more sensitive or critical. I mean each person has their own likes/dislikes right ?

"Yes" in the sense that I'm not just going to watch anything just because. But also "no" in that I usually come away pretty satisfied after watching something.

I'm the opposite of "harsh", though I don't consider this to be a matter of "standards".

It's more so that I want the stories I watch to succeed and engrossing and entertaining me, so I do not enjoy picking it apart. (Unless it's after I watch it and it's annoyed/disappointed me and I'm trying to understand what went wrong.)

I tend to go pretty literal on the score charts.

6 is not a bad score in my book, it just means its "Fine".

That being said 10 needs to really jump out. If you are in the 10 status then you are an anime I will remember for a while and will most likely re-watch a lot.

My mean score tends to be in the 7-8 range.

I think only two anime series have ever gotten a 1 from me, and I think they are rightly deserved.

If I'm not enjoying it will usually drop it, unless it tricks me...

No. Though I do value my time in the sense that I mostly watch shows that I think are well worth watching and is deserving of 7-10 scores, for now atleast. I also admit that a shows' flaws becomes much more apparent and a bother to me when it often gets labelled as the "best peak fiction of all time" (same reason I think AoT is mid), well its not like anything could lived up to that title anyway.

If you don't have high standards, you shouldn't even bother rating media because your opinion is going to be heavily skewed and lead to an overall dishonest score. The only way I could see a rating site being fair for those with low standards is if it's a simple Thumbs-up/down system.
