| I tend to be very indecisive about my own scores. Haven't done this in a while (maybe a year), but I would go through my entire (very small) list and lower the scores of works I might like but don't consider... worthy(?) Of the first reactionary high score I gave it, I guess, and try to keep the list as balanced as possible. Also, I've always been rather self conscious about stuff, so will admit sometimes I "play it safe" while scoring. Basically I give things that don't matter too much thought. Trying to get better at that. |
Sshiunnnn... "El Hombre que Vale 60 Mil Millones de Doblondólares" ...zzZZZZeeeaaaahh. |
| Don't worry man. My ratings are all over the place and I overrate and underrate things all the time because it's my opinion. Rate what ever you want. I mean it's your list right? |
 |
| I know I have a lot of shows scored with an 8 but I'm fine with that, because it means that I have enjoyed them |
| I also noticed that I tend to rate shows mostly within the 7-10 range, but I think that's mainly because I usually do a little research on an anime before I actually start watching it... Ultimately, I really only pick shows that I know I'd be into so it makes sense that my watchlist ratings are primarily within the satisfied range. |
| I'm generally content but I feel like I give too many 4's and 7's atm |
| I think I'm being fair, as much as a subjective person like me can be. I haven't fallen in to the 7/10 hole, many others have, or at least not with both feet. But I have mellowed out, compared to several years ago. |
 |
| I think my ratings are perfect, just rating them based on level of enjoyment which imo is the most important thing in anime. No way I am rating something that "looks beautiful", has a "good story" and other shit a 10 if it bored me to death |
| Mine is perfect and I don't have an issue about it. I can always defend it when someone asks me lol |
| I think I rate very fairly, 7 is my most used score next to 6 |
 |
| I believe scores I give to mal entries represent well enough my feelings towards those and I can argue why I gave them. |
 |
| Sometimes I feel like I rate shows like aot way too low but other times I feel like it's completely justified |
| I'm fine with my scores, I'm also fine with the fact that I use 7's instead of 5's. |
| I use the entire scale and put thought into sorting out what's good or not so I feel pretty fair giving anime the scores I give. |
 Latest reviews: Wonder Egg Priority and A Couple of Cukoos |
| In the begining i didnt give so much thought about it. But nowadays, i would like to rewatch the series someday, to maybe, change the ratings. About being to high or not, they are your opinion, and no one can change it |
| I'm good with mine. I also don't use the whole scale, just from 5 to 10. I used to be unsatisfied when I used a lot of 8s, but then I reorganized my list when I realized I liked some shows more than others that I listed under the same score. |
 |
| Nothing ig I am preety chill about it |
 |
| I tend to skew more positively but I like to think my ratings are balanced and fair. With that said I don't put a tremendous amount of thought into them since there's no way a number can adequately reflect all my thoughts and feelings about something. |
Take care of yourself |
| I rate stuff whatever I want, it doesn't really matter that much too me. |
| I used to use only 5-10 but it changed since I started watching seasonal anime. There is just too much really bad stuff where I can't accept myself giving it anything higher than a 4 or lower. Aside from that I just rate out of a guts feeling |

| As someone with a mean score of 7.99, I am satisfied. There are 2 very important reasons for my scores leaning so high: 1. I don't watch anime as my primary source of entertainment, so I carefully consider what I watch in the first place. 2. I don't score things that I don't complete. Many of my lower scores would be in my dropped category. |
| Mine is kinda low, but it's fine. I don't really care or worry about it. |
  |
| A bit high maybe? I should probably reflect on the show and then rate it, rather than rating it right as I finish. Sometimes I’ll look back on a show that I watched a while ago and wonder why the hell I rated it that high, but eh who cares. I enjoyed it at the time, so the rating remains unchanged |
 |
| I think they are pretty accurate, I rank them based on enjoyment for the most part |
| Sometimes i feel weird or guilty about rating things low that other people like, like Your Name. My ratings do tend to be absurdly high, even a little bit of enjoyment gives a series at least a 7. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. |
| I feel pretty good about mine, every now and then though I do back on my list and change scores, but I wouldn't stress over the scores just rate it however you want :3 |
 |
| Same, my mean score is pretty high and I rate similar to you. Honestly you’re fine I stopped caring about what I rate my anime and just rate it how I feel. You don’t need to have mean score similar to the average mal user :) |

| Don't worry about score it doesn't really matter. Considering you've only seen 62 anime, not having a balanced list is normal. I didn't use lower numbers for quite some time. The more you watch, the more you get a sense of what's good and bad (as well as your particular tastes), as well as a general sense of the number scale and how you want to use it. Your list will balance out on its own, especially if you go through it every now and then and re-organize it. I've seen 250 plus shows, and only recently have I really started to utilize the full spectrum of the number scale, let alone understand what each number represents to me (even still my list leans kind of hard toward the upper numbers). So don't worry about balancing it now. Also how you score anime is entirely up to you, so don't worry about what other people say. |
 |
| sometimes im a little iffy, i give out a lot of 10's to stuff i enjoyed. but in the end these are my opinions and i will stand by them. |
| I've lost track of how many people I've mislead into watching a series of which is currently a shambling corpse of what it was in the late 2000's. ...But what other options do I have? |
 |
| When Dr. Stone aired, I gave it a 10. Now it sits at a 6 I think. Because of the memes, I checked out Love is war and gave it a 7 in the beginning. In hindsight I enjoyed it so much, I just F slapped a 10 on it and I'm excited to see season 3 :P If I raise my level of critique, most 10's will drop to 9 or even lower. Then again... who's gonna obtain the magical 10? I have far more 8 / 9 & 10's in my list, then 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 & 5's. Cause the ones I check now that would get a low score, just get escorted to the drop list (often) with no score at all. |
| I don't know who quotes me and then deletes the comment, but know that you make my day. STEAM's GOTY 2024 the Ghost of Tsushima |
| They're just a bunch of numbers, nobody should really take it too seriously lmao. |
   |
| When I started I had a system, now I just rate based on how much I enjoyed it. There's no subjective criticism. But 10's are for if they become my favorite |
| I generally start at 7 when I liked it, but have no strong feelings about it. Afro Samurai is a good example of this - I liked it, but that's it. I don't know what else to say? So I default to 7. From there, I add points based on how much I liked it, or subtract points if I had issues with it. I felt like Devilman Crybaby was fine, but it was tonally inconsistent. Thus, it got a 6. On the other hand, I thought Slayers was a lot of fun and it did a lot of 90s tropes very well. It gets an 8. The more positive or negative things I have to say about a series, the more I add/subtract. It's the only way I can be as subjective as I tend to be while still maintaining some sort of consistency. |

| Well if it helps, I'm also new myself to this site. I'm kind of getting used to it all. With this site, I can just log any anime I've seen at any time. The ratings thing? Still getting used to but otherwise I'm saistfied with it. |
| Overall pretty satisfied, I've rated too many to actually care about specifics anymore. |
| I don't really care much about my ratings anymore. I usually just rate things based on how much I enjoy them at the time instead of trying to think about what they actually deserve quality wise. Going with my gut. I just use ratings as a metric of my own tastes anyways, so I can compare affinities and stuff with other people. One of the things I feel kinda iffy on are the shows I watched a long time ago and whether to change their ratings or not. My taste has changed over time and I know some of those old ratings are pretty busted lol. |
| Just rate to however your heart desires. If you genuinely enjoy these anime as much as you rate them, then that's actually great. For us with lower mean scores, it usually just means that we lower our standard figure usually to around 5 as what it probably should be, as opposed to 7 as is otherwise usually the case. This way we better utilize the lower scores while also giving more breathing room to the higher scores. So like a 5 for me might be a 7 for someone else, even though we both equally enjoy it the same. |

| I do feel like I rate too high as well. I have too many 8/10 and not so many 5/10 and it makes my graph now looks like one one of those people that like pretty much anything. |
