WatchTillTandava said:It really depends entirely on how you score things to begin with.
The fact that MAL scores by the userbase skew generally higher does not elude me, but even a 7 itself - as in a flat 7.00 - would constitute a "good" rating. And 7 to me personally is a satisfying and good rating. Even using the official MAL descriptor, the 7 rating is labeled as "Good".
To put it in perspective, I'm watching 19 seasonals, this is one of my favorite series and most enjoyed of the season - somewhere in the top five most definitely - and I don't anticipate rating it over 7. I actually doubt that I'll end up rating any autumn 2021 season series higher than a 7. And I've only had one 8-rated series all year (and nothing higher).
So 7 is still the average "Good" rating to many.
