I have a question for, well, most of you, who rate anime... How do you manage to translate the whole spectrum of emotions and opinions you had while you had something watched into a single number?
| I have no emotions while watching anime, i just throwing numbers on it. So... Yeah, i enjoy this thread... I guess. |
 |
| My happiness is directly related to the number of lolis and imoutos there are in an anime. |
| I just ask myself how did I feel about it after finished or dropped the show. I'm usually generous, if the show didn't offend me the lowest I will give is a 5. |
 |
| Just compare the large spectrum of whatever you feel while watching to your other shows and rate it accordingly lower or higher |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| Because I don't translate the whole spectrum of emotions and opinions I had while watching a show. I only care about my ending impression of it. |
   |
| You just do? Not entirely sure what the question is even asking. I do want to know what kind of anime you've been watching where even giving it a 10/10 rating isn't doing it justice, though. |
 What's the difference? |
| is all about the overall enjoyement |
 |
| I count the number of gasps or grunts and then subtract that with the number of highschool bells. |
 |
| Enjoyement fam,I rate on how much I liked the anime so it can only go from 6-10 since I usually pick shit I like. |
| By making a list of indicators and making questions for each of them. Next, I rate those questions with 1-10 likert scale which is the level of agree/disagreement I have related to those questions, which is resulting ordinal scores. Since ordinal scale can't be quantified, I give those raw scores a weight assuming the data follows gaussian distribution by using z-score, which is resulting interval scores that can be quantified. After that, by sum up each every items weighted score for each likert scale, I make ten interval categories which I gives a number (1 - 10, same as Mal's rating scale) which do not have any special meaning. Then, I gives a score to an anime based on which interval it's summed weighed score fallen. |

"People who don't see that anime has changed are either wearing "glasses" or watching only a certain type (and or era) of anime" "Having a low mean score doesn't necessarily mean one doesn't enjoy anime. Rating system is not a school grading system." "Elitist is people who think he is superior than others. Not necessarily ones who insulting/critisizing your favorite anime or people who enjoy a certain type of anime" "Fanboy is people who translating "your favorite anime is shit" into "you are shit". "Being a fanboy is an indication of elitism" |
| I rate on enjoyment. Nothing more, nothing less. |
My Queens  |
| I am a pessimistic, so there everything gets a 1 at the beginning, and for each time I found my self smiling, it got +1 point while each time I got pissed, it gets -5 points. |
 |
| I personally use a review system, I'll sometimes go back over the list looking at the scores, if I see something that seems odd I'll open it up and remember what the show is. I use this opportunity to reflect back on the show and determine if the score it has is appropriate, if not it gets adjusted. For instance, if remembering the show I think to myself, man I really should watch that again, and then do, there is a chance I'll raise the score, however if I look back and can't remember much at all about the show and have zero desire to watch it again, the score (if not already low) will be lowered. Don't really get around to this all the often though, as the list keeps getting bigger :P |

| Well, normally you have something that "Sets the Bar." This will usually be an anime that you found to be really fucking good - that anime has officially set the bar for anime that you consider to be "really fucking good" and you give that a number, like a 9. From now on you compare other anime you watch to this bar you set earlier. That simple, brotha. |
 |
| Do you expect me to ask all 100+ million potential children I release and wipe away how they felt? |

The Anime Rating system for dummies: |
 |
| It's quite simple. You just set a scale for yourself. Then you ask yourself, "Was the anime good/bad, what did it do right/wrong, what did you like/dislike, and did the good outweigh the bad/bad outweigh the good." Then you insert the "number" you think it falls under, based on what you thought about it. The end. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| ((How good I thought it was/10)+(how much I enjoyed it/10))/2=rating This is why 5 is both my most common and my most ambiguous rating. 10/10 means both were extremely high and 1/10 means both were extremely low, but 5 can be a product of a lot of different combinations of numbers. |
  |
| Mm.. mostly feeling.. |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| I don't have any complicated formulas its all just based on my subjective opinion and impression. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| Many people rate it differently and for different reasons. I rate it in a way that allows me to get a good grasp on my taste. How I summarise it all into one number? No, I summarise it into 5 numbers then average them. |

You watch one anime. You give it a 10. It's the best anime you've watched overall. You watch two anime. Maybe the second wasn't as good as the first, so you give it a 9. Etc. Etc. This simply means that you involuntarily compare them at some point. And you end up having "pedestals" for each grade. Like, you compare an anime you just watched to a solid 8 in your list, and then you ask yourself in your head if it's clearly more or less than that and you end up with a number. There. It's all about how many anime you've watched and comparing them subconsciously |
 |
| OMG I love you for sharing this ahahah tho it needs something for 3 or lower (like her throwing up or something ahah) |
|
| Why over complicate things? Enjoyment is always the chief factor that I am concerned with when rating. |
 |
| It depends on the person her/himself no one's way of rating is the same. Here ya go i just summed up all the answers in this thread. ur welcome. |

| I just pick a number based on how I felt immediately after the final episode. Sometimes I'll go back and change it once I've had more time to reflect or make more realizations. |
| A caterpillar was asked - how do you walk with all those legs? A caterpillar started thinking about it, and found it could not make a step anymore. In short, just don't think about it too hard. Ratings don't matter much in the grand scheme of things, you just put them there for the hell of it. |
| I dunno to be honest... Ppl are critical thinkers in which they analyze deep shit, I however look for pantsu shot and the fap quality... |
| Tbh I don't really know. After I've finished an anime I just look at the rating scale and pick whichever score feels right. Gotta listen to your heart :^) |
 |
| I don't really. Ratings are not for expressing complicated emotions like that. They're for putting anime in relation to each other, not necessarily give a lot of information about what exactly I thought about them. You'll have to ask me if you want to know the details. The number just means I value it more than the lower rated shows and less than the higher rated shows. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| How I manage to translate the whole spectrum of emotions and opinions I had while I was watching something into a single number? Easy, I just rate. Problem solved. |
 |
| It's very simple... Just rated it that's all :D |

| hmmm... I guess I just finish watching an anime and then I ask myself "How much did I like the anime overall?" then on the numbers there's always the Masterpiece definition for 10, Great for 9, Very Good for 8, etc. So I think "Did I really enjoy it so much as to give it a 10?" or "Did I not like so much as to not give it an 8?" (these numbers are exemples) so wherever I think is a right number for my enoyment that's the number I give :) Sorry it's kind of a long reply, but I do think quite a lot before I give any ratings :p |
| I figured out that such an amazing industry like anime requires zero expectations whenever you're trying to get into something new. If a show outwits me, it's different, and if it's different my rating grows higher as my expectations. |
| "Now, come here. So long as we hold hands, we won't be separated." |
| I have invented a special dimensionality-reduction function that maps multidimensional data into one number. |
| My ratings tend to be a comparison of personal enjoyment. I enjoyed Toradora about as much as FMA:B, so they both get the same rating even though they are wildly different genres. Just like Sora no Otoshimono and Tokyo Ghoul. It really depends on how bothered I am with flaws whilst watching. I loved everything about Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica and found nothing I disliked about them whilst watching. This earns them a 10/10 on my list. I found that charlottes ending was rushed, but that was the only problem with it in my opinion, so I gave it a 9/10, and so on. |

| First off ignore all other opinions were all rubbish. Your thoughts emotions and feels are your own and only you can quantify them. Numbers are arbitrary. Did you like it? Rate it high. Hate it? Rate it low. Ignore others numbers for your enjoyment of anime will be different from mine and others. |
| That's a pretty hard process, so, I usually need two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. |

| I rate on enjoyment, though I also try to objectively think about the score it should get. |
~||Sky of the Night Light||~  |
| I just try and remember my overall experience with the show, the numbers might not reflect 100 percent accurately how I felt about a series, but I feel like they can sum up how I generally regard the series, even if I have countless things to say about it. Since the site gives you the option to rate the series I thought I might as well, but the options given such as masterpiece, or great, or bad, can be a good starting indication of my opinion on the series, but I don't consider those ratings the end all be all of my viewpoint on a series, you would have to ask me specific questions to get a clearer outlook on my viewing experience. |
