Just a 4, mainly because I've yet to watch anything that was worse than just being pointless at times.

My lowest has been 2 so far. I like using the whole scale but wonder if I'll ever rate anything 1, I think I wouldn't even finish it and I don't rate shows I drop.

Lowest I have given is a 2/10. I am willing to go to a 1/10, just the only anime I have seen that I would give that score to, I have forgotten the name to, as I didn't add it to my list. My scale is solely based on my enjoyment of a show, and nothing else.

I haven't scored '1' since the day I joined MAL and never intended to but few overhyped modern garbage shows these days forcing me to use that value finally still trying to endure such feeling!

For me 4/10 - and it's BAD in MAL's score, I just follow it, 5 - Average, 6 - Fine 7 - good, and so on.. I don't want to give 3 or less.

Exactly! Thanks for this.

@T: 1/10 cause believe it or not, there are some shows that you wish didn't exist.

Consequence # 1 : watch anime by instinct
= the probability of giving specific anime below 6 is 20%

Consequence # 2 : watch all anime per season

= the probability of giving specific anime below 4 is 80%

Consequence # 3 : watch anime based on feedback (not necessary mal ratings)

= the probability of giving specific anime below 7 is 20%

Consequence # 4 : watch specific anime that has a rating of 5 and below

= the probability of giving specific anime below 3 = 90%

Consequence # 5: watch anime with the same rating of mars of destruction

=its either 1 or 2 100% guarantee

You'll be very surprised if I tell you why

It's because I really enjoyed those animes, enough to re-watch them at least once
You didn't see that coming did you?

10/10 doesn't mean masterpiece for me
10/10 is something that I really enjoyed watching every minute of
Like there's In Another World With My Smartphone or How not to summon a demon lord
These are not masterpieces , I know that, but I honestly enjoyed watching them

For me it's a 1/10, I give anime that pissed, annoyed, infuriated and gave me false hope a score not out of logic and reason,but out of spite.

Meaning if I look past the things that made me cringe it might actually be a good series. But well that is a difficult thing to do.

I pretty much use this scale for series I actually finished: 9 = A+, 8 = A-, 7 = B+, 6 = B-

I don't concern myself with finishing anything that's boring me to death (cause I'm not fucking insane), so I'll give a 1-5 to anything I drop, based on the redeeming factors I saw in episodes I watched. A 5 usually indicates that I may eventually pick it back up with enough persuasion. A 1 is piss awful, no redeeming factors whatsoever. Movies, OVAs and shorts are fair game for any score.

And I've only given one 10, because I've only seen one perfect anime (in my eyes, of course). Hopefully I'll give another 10 someday, but it'll have to live up to impossibly high standards.

Why are so many people here afraid of rating shows they dropped? If you didn't like it to the point where you stopped watching, doesn't that mean that you personally deemed the show as bad? I for one rate everything I watch, no matter if I dropped it or not, because not all the shows I drop are equally bad, and I want some way to distinguish them.

The lowest that I can give is 5 if I managed to finished the anime, but if I don't like the anime or got bored, I usually dropped them. I don't judge an anime when I didn't finish it so I don't give scores to the ones that I dropped.

Started with this and carried on to 4 paragraphs..

And who the hell said that I give 7 to the shows I don't like? Really, if assuming things would have been a sport you would do wonders in your age group.

But yeah, fair enough. I get it, if you consider anime as something you are passionate about, I can kind of respect it.
But I was really angry about how rudely you replied to that user.

And again 'You watch shit shows worth rating 1/10 then it's your fault'.

2 in my hentai list.

Something to be that bad to give "1" I dunno.. it has to be something really damn unique. For hentai I imagine make me throw up... for normal series no idea.

Lowest is 1

I generally rate anime I find "pretty good" to "masterpiece" between 4-10, so if I rate something a 4 it doesn't mean I didn't like it. I'm just a little more harsher on my votes and try to avoid the 7-10 trend.

Obviously 1-3 is for the animes I found "very bad" or "average"

1/10, though it's pretty rare to me to give an anime an score lower than 5.

The lowest score I gave a anime was a 2. I do not intentionaly seek bad anime so that would partially contribute to me never seeing a 1/10. Not counting anime I seen a few movies I would give a 1/10.

I use the whole scale, but then again, I rate even the anime I drop. If I rated only the stuff I finish, my mean score would likely revolve around 8 instead of 6.^^

No one read OPs thing, they literally said 6 still means fine, and that they just drop the bad stuff. Nothing is wrong with that, it's a pretty logical way to watch anime. I regret completing most of the shows I didn't enjoy when I could've been watching something actually good. I only complete those shows to give me a better understanding of my standard critically and to discuss it(and those being the only reasons to do so).

Anyway, the lowest I gave is a 1/10 to Glasslip(which is the only 1/10 I gave). 1/10 is something bad in a very basic way or something confusing, so it's a rare score to give. Usually, a really bad show would end up with a 2/10.

OP edited their initial post. Pay attention.

I try to have a mean rating that is about 5.4-5.6 which represents a weighted scale. Any user who looks at my last can decide where the cut off point is. Are the 5s on my list 7s in your book? Great, you can use it. Are the 7s on my list 4s in your book? Great, you can use it.
So I'm rating whether a title is a good anime instead of good media in general.


Edit: Added my way of using the scale.

Lowest score = 1.

Pretty much agree with the sentiment that not using the intended scoring system properly literally makes interpreting the MAL scores redundant or meaningless. I never pay attention to the scores.

If 6 or 7 is the lowest one can dish out, then it just implies that high ratings mean jack-diddly-squat.

If you asking me what's the lowest score I ever gave that would be a 3/10 I gave to two animes.

One is Kuma Miko with its grotesque ending (and the rest being borderline boring)

The other is Ace Attorney's painfully disappointing adaptation. Horrible animation, trainwreck of a pacing, cutting iconic story points and not giving others justice and even retconing away things that affect the whole series. I don't know how the sequel is doing, but with how disappointing the first one was I don't feel like finding out yet.

Edit: Added my way of using the scale.
Yet, people still complained about it even after the edit. Well, how OP is using the score isn't dishonest, I can still see they think SAO is a masterpiece and that Tokyo Ghoul is just decent.

"Are the 7s on my list 4s in your book?" wouldn't that only apply to certain series? I'm pretty sure some of your 7s are also my 10s, 2s, 5s or any other number, no one's list matches up that nicely. I never ran into a list where all their 5s were my 7s, there is no cutoff point. Even if there was I couldn't use it properly without asking you why you rated stuff the way you did.

OP isn't dishonest, they explained that 6 meant alright and that they simply don't watch the shows they dislike(therefore they don't rate it). If I missed your point then correct me, don't make me read paragraphs upon paragraphs of unrelated opinions from another user. Tell me how I missed your point.
