Based on an anime's overall score on MAL, what is the lowest score it can have for you to still give it a chance?
| I wont give anything under 7, i have so many things to watch, im not going to bother with anything less than a 7 |
| Follow me on twitter @jaywhy620 if you like wrestling (WWE, TNA, ROH) also I talk about anime occasionally and Follow me on Vine @ Awesome Wrestling |
| I'll watch whatever I want regardless of the score. |
| Same here, Score doesn't affect what I will and will not watch. |
| Ratings mean nothing. |
| I don't care about other people's score. People have different taste, so. |
 |
| Unfortunately, I'm one who does avoid series by score. Also this topic has been done several times. For me, I avoid anything in the 5's or under, unless it's for the lulz, MoD for example. Low 6's I probably won't get to but possibly. High 6's I probably will give a try. 7+'s I will try out most of the time if I had planned to watch it. Of course, I don't watch a series solely on its score. Why watch crap when you can watch better crap? |

| I won't watch anything that's rated below 6 unless I get a good recommendation from a friend. |
| I never check ratings before watching shows. |
 |
| maybe a mid 7. mid 6 is pushing it. |

| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| If it's lower than a 7, I typically won't watch. However, if suggested, I can look over. |

| Score doesn't matter. Anything goes. |

| Score affects some of my descision but not much, if it seems interesting to me, has good artwork, or i just like the synopsis of the plotline, then ill watch it regardless of score |

| I try to not let the score bother me and it hasn't yet. But I don't know if I would watch anything below a 6, because I haven't thus far. |

| Anything lower then a 7 im a little iffy on. But if its recommended by a few people I might check it out. I try not to pay to much attention to the ratings but I just do, I don't know why. |
| 1. It covers everything. |
 |
| Ratings isn't the first thing I'm looking at when it comes to an anime. Although if I've gotten something recommended below 6 I will probably look into it a bit more. It's hard because I've seen animes at like 4 in rating that I've loved and animes above 8 in rating that I thought was pure sh*t. |

| If something interest me... I watch. |

| I use the top anime page to determine what to watch but rating doesn't really mean much with everyone overrating everything nowadays. There are over 400 anime rated over 8 on MAL, I liked most that I watch, disliked, but I'd give anything a chance if the synopsis sounds interesting regardless of rating |
| Under 7 because if an anime does have a 6.5 it must be really shit considering mostly everyone rates everything a 9. |
| tfw no gf tfw i keep getting the banhammer on here tfw Koleare keeps banning me every other day tfw I'm misunderstood by le mod |
| not caring others choices |
 |
| I don't care about the score, one of my favorite show is under seven anyway. |
 |
| Does not really matter to me but I am watching most of what's highly rated at the moment on Mal. |
| you sound poor |
| Well I watched MoD so I suppose anything's game. |
| Usually I only watch if It has 7.5+ Rating, but rating in MAL isn't everything d: |
| Usually 7~ or so |

| If it's under a 7, I'll usually skip it unless it sounds really interesting or it's hentai or something, but I won't flat out refuse to watch something just because of it's rating. |
| 7.5 for right now because I just started watching anime on a day to day basis. There are a ton of popular anime that I'd like to see first before I delve into the average anime. |
 |
| I dont really watch the scores, if i see an intresting plot i'll download and watch it. And i believe thats the best way to aproach something like that because you never know what you might miss. |
I rarely look at the ratings, just watch it if I want to. |
| i actually never look or care for the score that other people give, i read the synop and look at the genre's/studios and how it visually looks. if this appeals me i go watch it. |

| Lowest score from an anime I watch and like is always between 6.66~6.69 that is Gundam AGE. Don't really care about score, but if it is low like MoD "watashi kininarimasu" |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| 7 if its a 12 episode series. Anything over 12 eps then it needs to be atleast an 8. Obviously i have exceptions. |
 |
jal90 said: 2.66 Yep, something like this. |
 |
| I usually don't check the MAL score until I am done with the show, which sometimes makes me laugh. |
| I don't pay attention to the score. I watch what I want. |
| Anything lower than an 8 I generally won't watch. However, I try not to rely on MAL scores as they are skewered. |

|
| I pick shows if they look interesting or good to me, not to the average MAL user. Shit like SAO having an 8.64 average rating here is proof enough for me to know that they aren't in any way a reflection of my personal tastes, making them completely irrelevant when I decide which show to watch next. |

| I watch what I can understand. If I Dont then ofc I will drop it. |

|
| I just look at the top 100 and go from there , I discoverded really GOOD anime like that. Just like SwordArt Online xD |
