So, 1-4 is essentially the trashcan of anime. It's easy for anime to get dumped in there without much consideration of where it actually lies, so my question is how do you rate anime in the 1-4 range? Also, don't just list the MAL scoring system...

4/3-Very bad animes with little redeeming qualities and full of plotholes or bad writing. It could have some good points (OST, some character...) but the bad taste is still there.
2/1-The worst things that I can saw, horrible in everyone of their aspects.

1= crap
2=crap
3=crap
4=crap

xD, but I have only give 1 or 2 series under the 5 ^_^

4: Bad. Usually will only complete if it's short
3: Really bad.
2: There is barely anything good about this anime
1: WTF did I just watch? Terrible, painful to watch. This is most common for anime around 1 minute long under the genre "dementia".

The only full length anime that I have rated that low is Glasslip with a 4. High Score is my lowest rated TV anime with a 2 which it fully deserves because all 24 minutes of its existence was complete trash (8 shitty episodes, 3 minutes each). In total I have rated 62 anime with a rating of 1-4.

If it's awful and disappointing, I give it a 2.

1. very very very bad (shitcom, Utsu Musume Sayuri, Nami)

I've never given any TV series a score below 7. All the 1~4 are usually shorts(espcially dementia ones) and hentai.

1-4 is complete garbage. Fortunately I don't think I've seen any anime that warrants a score that low.

1 - Torturous watch. Very difficult to get through. Void of any entertainment.
2 - Same as 1, but has 1 or 2 minor upsides
3 - Stupid or boring for the most part. Not many redeeming factors
4 - Boring and not enjoyable, but may have a little appeal and a few enjoyable moments

4 - beyond average (disappointed, for example psycho pass 2)
3 - far beyond average (logical flaws everywhere, stupid characters, retarded story)
2 - bad (watching hurts)
1 - anime hell. literally an abyss full of shit that satan himself made (probably impossible to reach this level)

i think i have never rated something with 2 or 1. gate and Chuu Bra!! are the only ones i ever gave a 3

Best rating system ever. It's basically a 4 point scale. I've heard that this is the grading scale in Ontario schools. 80% = A, below 60% = fail. Pretty small margin.

4- This show is worse than your average show, it might have some good qualities about it, but in the end, it failed to meet a certain standard. I probably still somewhat liked it.

3- This show is just plain bad, there are few redeeming qualities, and it feels like the writers put very little effort into it. There might still be some things I liked about it, but the cons outweigh the pros.

2- Trash. This show is just pain awful, it might have a thing or two that's enjoyable. (Guilty pleasure), but probably has really bad characters and writing.

1- Absolute trash.

Honestly any anime that I think deserve the score between 1-4 is honestly a waste of my time and 99% of the time I do drop those series. I rarely complete series with those scores.

1-4= trash. I don't know how some of you guys waste hours watching all those horrible shows that you didn't like. I can understand if it was a movie, but a series that has 12+ episodes?? To try and make sense of it, I just tell myself that you guys are simple exaggerating your score and the score you put doesn't actually reflect on how you feel for the series.

I try to keep 5/10 to actually mean average, so everything below that is of increasing levels of crap.

4/10 usually means the show was indeed bad, but it wasn't completely outright bad.

3/10 is actually outright bad.

2/10 essentially means they're just laughable or relentlessly frustrating to sit though.

I haven't given anything a 1/10 yet, and I hope I don't. Every bad anime I've watched has at least some redeeming quality about them, even if it's just the fun of watching a hilariously bad show. A 1/10 for me would seriously be insulting to watch with no redeeming qualities to its name. It's the point where I'd seriously question the show's reason for existing.

I completed Glasslip because it was fun to watch in a reverse way. The uniform hatred for the show makes it more interesting to watch. In a way it's a bit like morbid curiosity.

If by "movie" you are referring to anime which is at least 40 minutes (the threshold between short film and feature length) then I have not watched anything else worthy of 1-4 that is at least that length. I have watched some anime with 12+ episodes that I've rated low, but they're less than 40 minutes long in total.

They are the various levels of bad.

4. Weak-Lots of flaws, wish I'd done something better with my time
3. Bad-Really not enjoyable at all, wish I hadn't watched it
2. Awful-Offensively terrible, I really with I could erase this from my memory
1. Worst Ever-Absolute bottom of the barrel, absolutely disgusting and unwatchable and the people responsible for making it should be rendered unable to have children

1 is a show that I started about 6 months ago and still haven't finished all 24 episodes. But whenever I need a sleep aid, I can put the show on and I will be passed out in 10 minutes if it doesn't keep me awake with how dumb it is. Yes, Durarara, that is you. Sorry to all fans, but I haven't yet seen a show that compares to it with how flat out unwatchable it is.

4 is basically just a waste of time that I wish I never watched, but there may be a few redeeming qualities to it.

If I've rated something below 5 I probably dropped it unless it was a really short series. In light of that, here's how I would distinguish between a 1,2,3,4.

A 4 is something that I found bad enough to drop, but can understand why other people would like or even love it, even if I don't think those reasons justify watching said show.

A 3 is something that I not only found bad enough to drop but also find difficult to even see the appeal of.

A 2 is something that I can't see any appeal to, except in a sense of 'so bad it's good'. Still a waste of time, but could be enjoyed ironically by some masochists.

A 1 is a complete waste of time. It's something so offensively boring that you finish it feeling like you've just been conned out of a brief chunk of your life. A 1 is too poorly made to even qualify as a 'so bad it's good' sort of experience.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that.
