| How much weight does personal enjoyment have in your anime scores? IMO there is nothing with more weight than my personal enjoyment. I can ignore the flaws if the anime is just entertaining :v #sokawaiixd |
| I only rate shows based on enjoyment. People who do it any other way are wrong. |
 |
| 100% What else should I base my rating on, doesn't help me a lot if it has great art and animation but I don't give a crap about them characters and story. |
| 100% as long as you include afterthoughts |

| Depends what you mean with enjoyment, all the anime with 5 or higher enjoyed me but different anime can provide different types of enjoyment. Jojo is fun, Planetes is interesting, Monster is fascinating. If the flaws are too evident it does lower my enjoyment or if I don't enjoy enough I pay too much attention to the flaws.

That's like saying "If you eat a bread without butter, how do you enjoy the butter?" If I don't give a crap about characters and story I won't enjoy it. Don't take the sentence I wrote too seriously anyway, just wrote it because 30char bullshit :P |
| 80% the other 20% I will still watch just for having 1 character I like (e.g. Hundred - imo story absolute garbage but I am a sucker for Emilia) |

| Sometimes more, sometimes pess, but in average probably 20% |
 |
| It's the only thing that matters. I don't give a damn about whether or not a show got lots of flaws or is generic, so long I like it. |

Gator said: From the previous comment I understood that you rate just based on enjoyment and don't care about characters and story which would be strange because I think they have a big part in making a show entertaining or enjoyable in a way or another. However what you meant is that you don't take the elements of a show apart and judge them singularly but just give a rating overall based on how much you enjoyed it, right?zal said: If you enjoyed a show without giving a crap about characters and story, where do you take your enjoyment from?

| There is nothing else even factored in. I do not believe there is anything else to factor in. So 100% |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| only about 90% or so. I tend to give credit or discredit where it seems fit. sometimes i give shows high scores if i'm just not their target audience and for some reason wrongfully picked up the anime, but i can imagine other people can enjoy it. So shows that I'm not interested in can score high, but shows that piss me off will get crap scores. |

BRB-kun said: I think that animation and soundtrack do enhance an anime but the basic elements are characters and story. If those two elements are good I can ignore bad animation like I can ignore minor flaws. The soundtrack doesn't affect me or at least I don't notice unless it is really memorable.zal said: Depends what you mean with enjoyment, all the anime with 5 or higher enjoyed me but different anime can provide different types of enjoyment.

I know it's a stretch but the former is just what I liked from Kabaneri, while the latter for la'corda d'oro. But keep in mind that I am one that can watch videos at 360p without being bothered by it so my opinions on animation are not very strong. For example even I recognize that UBW's animation is outstanding but I didn't like the story and characters so it won't get a higher score than 4 from me (at least the first season, second season was better). On the other hand I like 5cm per second and the outstanding animation made it go from a 7 to a 8. |

It's just the overall enjoyment which is important for my rating. |

There is just one anime that had really interesting openings: "Gakkou Gurashi" with all those easter eggs, googled all of 'em and it was hilarious, that kinda affected my rating a bit... |
| Personal enjoyment can add or subtract 2 points for me. Usually my personal enjoyment is equal to the score I give. But sometimes there are some anime that I have an arbitrary bias towards. |

Well a show like http://myanimelist.net/anime/750/Binchou-tan is pretty much not fun to watch for me. But at the same time I can't really say it's that bad either. I don't get any entertainment out of it, but I assume people under 5 might. :P I gave it a 7 because well, as an anime it's ok and there's not much annoying happening, it's simply that I'm not interested in it myself. So in case anyone ever wants to know a kiddy show, I can go through my list and look at it and see a 7 and remember it wasn't all that bad. |

I can ignore the flaws if the anime is just entertaining :v #sokawaiixd MAL itself says that the score you give an anime should be based on the enjoyment that you got out of it, though I wouldn´t base my score on enjoyment alone if I were writing a review |
It's okay to smirk |
| Almost none at all. My rankings are based purely on the title's merits and quality. For example, Excel Saga is one of the most enjoyable anime ever made, but objectively speaking, its story and characters are way too lazily-written, and so the show gets a 6 or 7, I don't remember which. If it wanted a higher score, it should've followed the basic rule of actual 10/10 comedies like Airplane! or The Naked Gun and made the story and characters rock-solid before going to work on the incredible comedy. But alas, Excel Saga remains a hilarious comedy that falls apart once you apply even a single brain cell to it, and any anime that falls apart once you start thinking about it can never be given a high score. EDIT: I suppose the simplest way to put it is this: If you take out the comedy, does your story still function and make sense? If yes, then great, you've written a great comedy. If not, then, sadly, you're Excel Saga. |

 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| A lot. I'm willing to overlook flaws if I gained entertainment from the show. Of course, unless those flaws are just ridiculous.. |
Active sometimes. |
| About 99% or so? Unless you're like a paid critic or something I really don't see why you should worry so much about anything else. It's your sparetime hobby after all You have to realize that enjoyment is something derived from all the so-called "objective" categories. They're not exclusive to each other The remaining 1% is for weird exceptions like Mayoiga for example which, whilst humorous, is also entertaining for wholly unintentional reasons |
  |
| 0% i only rate based on popular opionin, and the objective merits of the plot characters animation and sound effects quality |
 |
| around 60% for enjoyment and 10% for analysis of plot execution . . . 30% for arts/animation though that percentage doesn't really look reliable if you look at my mean score. XD |
 |
| I feel like enjoyment has more weight the more I enjoy the anime. For example, I would put the quality of YnS 2 at about a 7 but I gave it a 10 because of how much I enjoyed it and my enjoyment level of Akira would be about a 1 but I gave the anime a 4. |
  |
| 100%. im not some weird elitist who doesnt enjoy anything that isnt flawless in his eyes (if i enjoy the art/characters/story then they are good. so they influence the enjoyment) |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| Semi-ripped from my profile: Enjoyment: Based on my feelings and reactions throughout the show (Grins? Laughs? Hype? Feels?). Weight: 50% to 80%. Satisfaction: Based on my final impression and opinion after finishing the show (Good conclusion? Feeling of fulfilment? Nothing bothers?). Weight: 20% to 50%. |

| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| I rate on equal terms of story, characters, sound, animation and personal enjoyment. So 20%. |
| Enjoyment is the overall rating. Giving extra points for "good animation" or "well even if I didn't like any of them, all the characters are well written" is retarded if you still didn't like the damn thing. You enjoy good anime, you don't enjoy bad anime. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| 100% from my enjoyment. nothing more than that. just wheter i enjoy it or not. if all of them are crap/trash to all of the people and i could see what it was crap and i still enjoyed it, then i enjoyed it because of it's athmosphere which the show/anime has. that's the very last reason why i enjoy a certain anime if i didn't give a fuck with anything in it anymore. |

| 100% if X anime didnt entertain me then is just a waste of time |
 |
| 2/9 2/9 Story 2/9 Characters 1/9 Art 1/9 Music 1/9 Dub (if there is any) 2/9 Enjoyment Then, I get a raw score, and round up or down from there for my MAL score. |
| Being wrong is just an occupational hazard. Follow me on twitter. I have an anitube channel so feel free to check it out and subscribe if you like what you see. |
| I'd say around 60% to 70% enjoyment, 30% to 40% other stuff depending on what I'm watching. |
| Quite a bit. Example: I acknowledge SAO sucks, but I love it regardless. Both seasons didn't score below a 6 for me, even after rewatching and seeing how flawed it really is. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| Enjoyment usually consists of 99% of my scores, but my definition of enjoyment is pretty broad Like my enjoyment of Hourou Musoku is completely different from my enjoyment of Higurashi |

FullmetalPenguin said: Around 15 to 20 percent and rest is story, art, etc same as this guy. there's some anime in my list that i'm not really enjoyed it, but still i give a good score because of another factor like animation, story, character, etc |
Zazie122 said: I only rate shows based on enjoyment. People who do it any other way are wrong. Yup, this person knows what to say at the right time & place....unless they're critics = 1/3 of the whole MAL users are mtfkn critics....and their hunters xD |

Zazie122 said: I actually find it harder to rate based on personal enjoyment rather than just going with my gut feeling of what I think the score should be. There are some anime like Bartender, Princess Tutu, and Shirobako that felt slow and weren't the most fun shows to watch but I still feel good about completing and I gave them all 8s (quite high on my scale). What score would these get on an enjoyment scale? Would it be 6s or possibly even 4s? Does the "aftertaste" count as part of the enjoyment even though it isn't experienced during the anime? Should I give Vividred Operation a 9 even though it obviously wasn't a good anime?I only rate shows based on enjoyment. People who do it any other way are wrong. |
|
| A decent amount but it's not 100% reflected in my score. I try to be somewhat objective with my scores. |
 |
| 85-90% enjoyment. The rest is reserved for other miscellaneous things that managed to impress me /piss me off |
| I'd say quite a lot. Giving a score to an anime is the small equivalent of a review just without the details. Reviews in an of themselves are just elaborate opinions created by ones perspective. What some find fun and enjoyable, others may find appaling and trite. However, I wouldn't say I only use the bases of overall enjoyment to give a score. Even if I disliked an anime overall, if it had some points I liked, I'd take said points into consideration when scoring (even though most of the time said points are usually too small to make an overall dfference). |
