| Mine is 7. For me 7 is something not admirable but passable enough. After all, if I am watching or investing my time in something, it has to be at least 7 or I would drop it in midway. |

| "What is score of your average/ mid anime?" 5-7. |
 |
| 5/10 is the average according to MAL itself. I still think that 0/10 should be possibly, so 5/10 would actually be the middleground. |
| For me a 6/10 anime is pretty average but numbers are arbitrary. |
| 6 is average. If it's below 6, I usually drop it after a few episodes and don't even add it to my list. |
| 1-4 - Negative 5-6 - Medium/Decent 7-10 - Positive |
| 10/2 is 5 so 5 is my average. I also actually use 1-4 unlike many users on this website so 5 makes sense. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| 5-6 our average score only if I find a average show. |
 |
| Since 5/10 corresponds to 3/5 (if you can only use whole numbers, of course) which is a positive score, the scores I use for MID anime/mixed feelings are right below that. 3 is still barely watchable, 1-2 are for things I definitely dislike, usually dropped. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but I care about distinguishing different levels of good more than different levels of bad; I do think that 4 should be something like "subpar" instead of "bad", there's no need for four synonyms of bad for the scores between 1 and 4. |
 |
| Yeah a 7 is an average show for me. I am too lenient when it comes to scoring anime. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| 5. Maybe 5 is a little bit lower than mid (I guess it really depends what mid even means in precise terms), but that is fundamentally the flex point for when a show becomes "bad" for me. I know a lot of people only use the 5-10 part of the scale so naturally 7 becomes the middle, but that's just a score inflation problem, they need to take a cold hard look at their list and realize their 7s are 5s and their 5s are 3s. |
| 7 cause I just feel kinda bad going lower than that lol |
 |
| 5, it's the middle so it's simple enough. |

| 5 - 6 6 mostly for stuff that I felt was worth watching overall, despite being just so-so, and 5 for stuff that wasn’t totally awful, but I probably should have skipped. 7 is for enjoyable anime that I liked overall. They usually aren’t anything special, but I consider 7 to be a pretty positive rating. By MAL’s suggestion, 7 means “good,” so that’s how I try to use it. |

| 5, and in some cases a 6 if I do see noticeable value in the anime, 7 for me is where it gets to worth watching and recommending to others |

| My mid score is 3, kinda lower than the majority here. |
| I do not watch mid anime. Simple as that. |
| 5 or 6. Since 5.5 is the numerical average between 1 and 10, both scores could be considered "average", since you could round up or down from whatever internal score you're giving a series on a decimal point system. At least, that's how I'm assessing my own list. But, without being that donnish about it, 5 is listed as average in the MAL score drop-down menu, so may as well treat it as such. |

| Average and mid are two very different things for me. 6 means it's average (Or was good in some places, but made some offensive mistakes somewhere to lose the 9 or 8), 5 is literally the middle (So mid. It didn't do enough to make me feel anything above or below dead neutral towards it), and 4 is once something has actually pissed me off. 3 is when I'm calling the cops, 2 is when I'm saying fuck the cops and grabbing a knife, and 1 is when I just bribe North Korea to nuke Japan. Thankfully I've never found a 1... yet. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.    |
| My average/mid is 6. 7 is fine and 5 is bad. |
 |
| 5 because it's literally mid, 6 is fine and 7 above is good. just as the mal labels intend. |
 |
A score of 5 is average / mid for me... |
 I am asleep.. Good Night! |
| For MAL, it's 7-8 for me :) If average MAL score is around 5, I will change to 5 too, but it isn't for now |

| 5. Anything above that is either acceptable or good for me. |
 |
| It will depend on how you define average and mid score.. In MAL, the range is between 1 and 10, and each score tells you what it means. For me, my scoring is quite similar to the one in MAL. Most of the series that I watch or read are pretty good. Occasionally there may be a couple of series that fall into the 6. But most of them are still 7 and above. |

| 5 is my average like mal says in its labels |

| I give mid shows a rating of either 6 or 7 out of 10. |

| @nirererin it really is. As i have a full Time job and a college degree to get i can't afford myself to power through mid anime like i used to during highschool. |
| 5 pr 6 for me 7 is something that's not perfect but was enjoyable and I'm glad I watched but not a favourite or a masterpiece |
 |
| 5,0. 6,0 is something that I already consider "ok". It's at least a bit good, more qualities than flaws, while a 5,0 is what I consider mediocre, or has as many flaws as qualities. |
| 5 of course, it is named average for a reason. 6 is above average but still not what I'd call good. 7 is for stuff I consider good but far from great. |

| 5, just like MAL states. Are 5s worth it? Maybe if you are into it or some character catch your eye, but be aware, it might be nothing else. |
 |
| 5 is mid and 6 is not good but not mid at the same time |

| 5/6 Is average for me but rating is subjective for people. Seasonal Stuff i Rate like this, I dont tend to rate thing if I drop them cause there not to my taste as I dont feel I should rate them as I am probably not be fair to the anime. 3 = actually haven't rate this low yet. 4 = Managed one episode before dropping 5 = Average but got bored 6 = Average watched it all 7 = Good I look forward to watching it 8 = Watch it on release day 9+ = literally sat waiting for it to release to watch it |

| @Zarutaku I don't see the problem tbh. Usually I ask people "What's your opinion on X on a scale from 0 to 10". I never ask "on a scale of 1 to 10". |
| If I liked it, 7 If I didn't like it, 5 or 6 |

| @Gator It's just kind of odd from a mathematical perspective, adding the 0 score would turn the system into a base 11 because there would be 11 different scores instead of 10. If we compare it with the episode discussion scoring system which is base 5, then adding 0 as a 6th score means that instead of (5+1)/2 = 3 the average would be (5+0)/2 = 2.5 so it would be 0.5 below the defined average of 3 (the "OK" option) similar to how the average 5.5 of the base 10 system is 0.5 above the defined average of 5 right now. But I don't know if it would cause any technical or statistical issues for MAL because adding the 0 score retrospectively could cause code errors and also lower the mean score of future anime, so comparing them with past anime could be less accurate. |

| I'm surprised that people even bother with that ratings nonsense. |
| Mostly ranged from 5-6 but if it very good moments that were short lived and the whole anime was mid then maybe 7 in some cases |

| @Zarutaku I wish I had the mental fortitude to be so passionate about math 🗿 |

| It is a 6. That is fine. 5 if it goes a little trainwreck in the end. 7 are good anime. Have it moments it good moments, but that is all. |
