It probably has to be the anime equivalent to Song of the South.

I think if an anime was actually that bad I wouldn't finish watching it, in which case I can't really justify giving it a rating since I didn't complete it. Too many people review things they don't finish.

For me to give an anime a 1/10, it has to be the most awful thing I've ever seen. The plot must be so poorly written that I can't understand it in the slightest. Or, the plot is basically nonexistent. It's just a series of random events that aren't entertaining in any way. The animation and art would have to be utter crap. It would be an eyesore and actually sitting there to watch it would almost bring me to tears because it's so bad. The soundtrack should torture my ears, have absolutely no effort put into it, and/or be timed poorly. The voice acting would have to be so horrible that I can't even laugh at it. I'd just sit there wishing that it could get better. As for the characters...they'd have to be flatter than a piece of paper and as uninteresting as a blank wall.

So, yeah, it has to pretty freaking bad... And I honestly don't even know if there's an anime out there that bad. If there is, I feel bad for the person who watched it.

Since I am a man with such refined taste, which I've mentioned in one other thread ab the 10 rating, I am without a doubt a prudent and thoughtful individual when it comes to a 1-rating as well. Again, with such high-class taste of mine, anything that is slightly flawed will automatically and instantaneously get a 1. I am harsh, but that's how it is. Art was never subjective anyway.

I've only rated one anime 1/10 if I recall correctly. It was the second season of an anime named Vampire Knight. Obviously it must've been aimed at women, but my god was it awful.

For something to get a 1 rating, I need to have suffered through an entire season. I don't do it anymore since I just drop things left and right, but back when I was younger and I'd only watched <50 series, I would usually force myself to watch a series all the way through.

Safe to say, that as a busy adult, ain't nobody got time for dat.

Edit: Oops I actually have a second 1/10 in my dropped list. It was a recent one, Isekai Cheat Magician. I didn't even need to watch more than half the series to know it was a 1/10. Honestly so bad all the way through. It's like there are these amateur writers that want to copy something that was half decent but don't know a thing about writing a story.

That's funny. I can't tell if you have invented this persona for MAL or if this is actually you. It feels like a fictional character.

Incredibly bad. Soul-suckingly bad.

Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.

It really has to be a complete waste of time with absolutely no redeeming qualities. I never rate anything that low. ANYTHING. Because even in the worst shows I've watched, there've always been even just a handful of mild entertaining or curious bits that even so mildly peak my interest.

The quickest way for me to give an anime a 1/10 is if it wastes my time. And by that, I mean an anime that starts off compelling and has you go all the way to the final episodes, and then just takes a complete dump on you. Like Beastars, I just gave that a 1 like last month. Because it was good, up until it got completely nonsensical at the end. It pisses me off when that happens more than if you're just terrible from the beginning. I won't even score an anime that's terrible from the beginning, I'll just drop it and move on.

For me is 5/10 black or white screen. I'm just not interested. I feel better satisfaction from looking at a wall.

Below 5 I rate things which can lead to brain damage. Wouldn't even watch for money.

1 or 0 would be something like murder videos or child porn. I have never rated anime so low.

A 1/10 is reserved for something so disgusting I would gouge my eyes out before I watched it again.

So, something along the lines of incest, child pornography, vore, or just... disturbing in a way that wasn't made for art, but for someone else's (perverted) pleasure.

I'd only do this to an anime that his no redeeming qualities. For example, shit ost's, shit char development(like deku from mha) shit background illustration choppy animation, basically shit that makes the anime either a chore to watch or fucking annoying to continue

I guess for me it's when I'm extremely close to dropping it, or I already did but decided to finish it. Either that or I just find it absolute bs. I've only given 1's to Pupa and Diabolik Lovers.

This describes Tower of God so perfectly to me. Along with the fact of the fanbase yelling "Rachel this, Rachel that" during the season.

Its pretty easy for me to just rate an anime 1/10 contributing factors would be:

-If the story completely gets lost

-The voice acting is horrid

-Theres just too much sexuall stuff :if it is not an ecchi dont go overbord I def apreciate a litle here and there to express a characters sexiness or a characters attraction to another but when the anime is just trying too hard to put as much useless sexual action in ,oof.

-Annoying characters (I HATE THEM )

Does not have to be super bad. Anything that leaves no impression gets a 1 from me. That's why I tend to give movies and short anime low score.

Something so terrible that it fails on every level. All the elements are so terrible within the 1/10 show that you simply cannot do anything besides give it a 1/10. its not even laughable funny it is simply a disgrace that should not have been created. Thats a 1/10 for me a disgrace for the anime medium

I rate an anime 1 when it's so broken that I could no longer take it seriously, whether a good scene or a bad scene comes out next no longer contributes any meaningful experience for me.

Ah, this thread was created on my birthday lol.

In most cases, 1/10 is reserverd to shows that really annoyed me.

I give 1s to anime/manga that makes me angry, like Mai-chan no Nichijou which is the worst type of media to ever be created. One of the few things that made me go SJW.

It literally has to make me extremely angry in almost every aspect. The only 1/10 I had made me feel that way on the first episode, and this show is High School of the Dead.

They only way I would come up with this setting is if I purposely wanted to create the most generic setting possible,since it literally have taken the 2 most overused settings of West media and anime: Zombies and Highschool.

But not only that, almost every element of this series is terribly executed. Ecchi scenes not only are unecessary, but they feel extremely disgusting, with a big focus on panties and the character design being completely weird. Characters are, just as the setting, over the top generic and unlikable. And with all the extreme genericness going on, what do they characters do after they see zombies? They act suprised and shocked. As if the audience should have some kind of similar reaction when they see zombies for the 1000th time in any media... Seriously, fuck this show.

Only if I can stomach its terrible plot, characters, and visuals in order to even rate it a 1/10. Otherwise, I'd just drop it before wasting so much of my time for other better anime.

So bad that it's something that has literally one singular purpose and utterly fails at it with no redeeming value.

I apparently only have 2 shows rated as 1 despitr having a low mean score.
Mars of Destruction is a freebie, but Vampire Knight? That's one that I could see people debating me over.
The overall answer is that in order for me to give something like Vampire Knight a 1 it needs to click every single one of my negative buttons based on my personal tastes and leave me feeling genuinely angry after watching it.
Normally I (And I assume most people) drop shows that do this to them but Vampire Knight was the one time that I did not.

Your definition of a 0/10 is something I could actually enjoy lol

Perhaps if it was a trailer or a music video it could be even better

A 1/10 for me is an experience like no other. It frustrates me to no end and it is absolute garbage. I don't have any enjoyment watching it. I could maybe think of a redeeming quality, but if it gets drowned out by how pathetic everything else is, it's a 1

1 is a very special rating for me. If I give an anime a 1, that means it was so bad, so lacking in quality, and so terrible in every single way that I probably laughed at it because of how atrocious it was.

In the same way that a 10/10 anime means that every part of it was really good, a 1/10 anime means every part of it was downright awful. In fact, achieving a 1/10 could be considered impressive, because unless the production and direction of anime was a complete dumpster fire, it's quite rare for something to be THAT bad if any degree of effort was put into it.

The only things I have or will rate a 1 are all the anime memed for how goddamn horrendous their plot, storytelling, visuals, and characters are such as Skelter Heaven, Hametsu no Mars, Garzey no Tsubasa, and the Boku no Pico trilogy.

I try my hardest to not give something a 1/10, but two have really worked hard to get to the bottom of my list. I have quite a few 2s, but that's just because they were cringe-inducing and had pretty poor plots. My 1/10s happen when I morally cannot accept what the shows are portraying (i.e pedophilia?? basically incest??). Big no-no's in my opinion lmao
