| Generous I'd say? If an anime doesn't have something that I absolutely hate the guts of, I try to be as lenient as I can. |
| It depends, i would say sometimes generous, sometimes more harsh |
| More like too middling? I give a lot of 7s and 8s |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| I feel like it’s hard to give a lot of shows a low score. I spend a wicked amount of time researching potential anime to watch that I’m almost assuredly to like it. Every now and again one slips by me but more often than not, I make safe choices from the start. Some of y’all are wacky and just boot up random titles off Crunchy Roll on a whim lol Couldn’t be me. |
| I guess I’m on the harsher side. If you select an anime at random I’ll probably think it’s a 4 or 5. My average score is a 6.1 because most of what I pick I think I’ll like although occasionally I’ll pick something to try something new. I think it’s better to have more nuance at the top end than comparing anime that are marginally better than another in the average range. Part of this is just a limitation of only allowing integer scores |
| I'm considered myself on the generous side since I judge based on enjoyment. But if there's a large audience calling something masterpiece, oh heck I will be harsh if required to make sure it is goat like they say it is. All down to taste most of the time. I know what types of show I don't like too. |

| If, like me, your goal is to have a list to keep track of the anime that you like the most and how they stand out from the rest, then the score necessarily becomes harsher when you watch more anime. If all the anime you watch all get generous scores, then the list fails to achieve its purpose of letting you remember which ones were the best. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| I'd say that my scores are super harsh. I actually only go by a binary. If I can complete it, it deserves a 10. But if it's horrible—to the point of me dropping it—it doesn't deserve even a 1. It's too generous. |
| Generous, because I'm always trying to find a "good" anime to watch, not gonna waste my time on some crap. |
 |
| i dont score anymore because obsessing over the score took away from my enjoyment of the anime lol but i used to be a generous scorer, cuz i kinda felt like the anime would feel sad if i scored it too low my brain is like this unironically |
 |
| I typically only use the 5-10 scale, and getting a 5 means nothing new is contributed, and it isn't even that entertaining. However, I'm starting to make use of the entire scale, and anything lower than 5 is considered something that made me want to claw my eyes out and made me lose brain cells. And to be honest, if it's not as bad (or worse) than 11eyes, the lowest I'll give is a 2. |
 |
| I consider myself a generous scorer. I don't believe I have anything rated below a 4, and I already consider 4-5 to be harsh. I tend to give scores between the 7-10 range. |

| I'm harsh on anime that get 5-8, as most people rate them higher than I do. Most of the time, when I give an anime a 7, the rest of people have given it a 7.4 / 7.7 or something. There are a lot of overrated anime in this score range. I'm strict on what gets a 9 or 10, regardless of what the rest of consensus says. I never jump to give a 10 for no good reason, since my score influences the average a small amount. I'm generous in the sense that I rarely give 1-3. An anime must be indefensible, horrid, and otherwise offensive (to the point of damaging society through its sheer existence, and bad themes or calls to action) for me to give one a very low score. Those scores are reserved for the truly reprehensible. |
| Im pretty fair with all of my scores to be... fair. |
| :v |
| Generous! My mid is 6, not 5. Honestly, maybe the mal scores affect my scores too. I do think a bit before rating any show tho. |
 |
| when i first started scoring stuff i was insanely pretentious and felt most anime deserved somewhere between a 2-6. i would zero in on all the things i didn't like and forget everything else i enjoyed. if something got a 7+ from me, i considered it a hall-of-famer now i rarely give out anything below a 5 (mid) unless it truly does something to deserve it. but there's also the fact that i just end up dropping something i know is going to be below average |
| I think that I am generally a generous scorer. That may be also because I like the great majority of shows that I watch. I truly have to hate a show or to think it is just too bad to have it lower than a 5: The Promised Neverland S2, Golden Boy, Platinum End, Shaman King and Mob Psycho S1. Every other anime that I have rated is either a 5 or better. I score based on the MAL scale. If I thought that an anime was just fine it is a 6 for me, as MAL has it named like that. After that I mainly just use pure comparison between shows to rate them. |

| I'm definitely generous. Mostly because I'm not super critical. If it were a Hollywood or Disney production with some huge budget, then I would be more critical, but most of these studios and their employees work hard on anime because of their love for the field. If the voice actors are bad, I can get past that, if the animation is subpar, I can get past that, if the music is eh, I can get past that...But, if the story sucks or then nothing can help that. |

| I'd say I'm quite generous. It took me a while to watch something I'd rate lower than a 6. |

| I like to be I am completely fair. obviously there is no "objective" or "correct" way to score. but I'd like to think I don't have a single show that I have been unfair to and given it an outrageous score. |

| i think some of my 10s are technically closer to a 9, but other than that i'd say i'm pretty fair with my scores. perhaps a bit on the generous side at times tho |
 |
| I tend to feel like I'm pretty generous, especially because even if I hate a show it's getting dropped and left unrated. I also have a rule of always rounding up so there's that. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| A feel-good scorer. If an anime gives me good feeling, I give it a high score, and vice versa. Plot doesn't matter much over the overall satisfaction. |
\  |
| Generous and very spontaneous. I don't analyze anything, I just throw out a number that feels appropriate based on the levels of dopamine present in my brain after finishing it. |
| Probably generous. I only give harsh scores if there are major flaws that I can't overlook. |
| I consider myself a generous scorer and more realistic than some profiles I've been to |
 |
| I'm still in generous side that i give lot of anime 7 or 8 even though my old anime that have the same score are way better than the new one |
| I just think if you are more strict with how you rate shows it will make the higher ratings more valuable, there is very few anime that will reach the levels of enjoyment I have with my 10s and I want my ratings to represent that well. Giving everything 7, 8, 9 or 10s would diminish it IMO. (also rating things low causes more malding which is always fun) |
| My average score is 6.6 so I guess I'm an average scorer haha. I don't have a lot of very harsh scores (only nine series rated below 5 out of 345) and just a handful of very generous scores (six series rated 10, twenty-two series rated 9, out of 345). |
| I think i am a pretty generous scorer |
 [/url] |
| I am Generous as fuck usually the lowest anime i watched and scored so far is a 4 (In my scoring 4 is not bad but still meh) |

| I tend to get really pumped after I watch something I like and score generously, but sometimes I go back after I’ve thought about it a bit more and lower the score. I realize later when compared to my favorites that maybe certain shows don’t measure up. But I’m one of those people that even a score of 4 or 5 doesn’t mean I didn’t like that anime. It might have just had some issues, objectively. |
 |
| I am generous and just, tend to score works objectively although every opinion is subjective in its core. |
 |
| I'm more or less on the generous side since I rate my anime on three categories. |
 "You fought to the end. You survived. That's why you're here now. I think that's something you should be more proud of." - Vladilena Milizé |
| I'm fairly generous, as enjoyment is the primary criterion for my scores. As long as a show kept me mildly entertained, it gets a 7. 8-10 are those shows that were especially entertaining to various degrees, and I don't expect perfection from my 10's. 5-6 are reserved for shows that I was going through the motions to complete. Anything lower had to have been truly awful. |
| I consider myself a normal rater in the sense that i just use the whole scale, which results in something like this: |
 |
| I'm kinda harsh and I drop stuff extremely easily |
| This is a trick question. In my country I'm considered a harsh scorer cuz my country anime rating site use 5 star rating and most of the anime regardless how meh they are gets a 4~4.9. For me if i find an anime average, i'd just give it a 3 star or even lower which makes me kinda the harsh scorer. However, in Mal I'm considered to be generous cuz Ik a lot of reviewers if there's anything they dislike they just give a 2~3 on the score lolz I think I still give out a lot of 7~8 . |
| I'd say harsh. I don't get why people rated thing's full of flaw to me as 7. To add to it, I keep score separate from source materials. Like Naruto where most people don't include the filler as part of the series, or how bad goblin slayer's images is compared to the main source's actually interesting character and plot. Or how appreciative I am towards demon slayer despite a fairly mainstream story. |
| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| Both: I only rate shows that deserve it, and it's either 1 or 10 depending on how over/under rated I think they are. Of course it often happens that this 2-scores system coincides with the rating I would give in a 10-scores system, for instance with the rent a girlfriend you were mentioning. |
| Generous, I don't take the scores that seriously. |
 |
| I'd like to think of myself as a fair scorer, but based on the fact my mean score is above a 5, I'd say I'm a generous scorer. |
