what's your opinion on giving a score of 10/10 to an anime just because you enjoyed it?

It's all subjective. Whether it's purely based on enjoyment or narrative elements, scores will always be subjective no matter what. I don't understand this logic at all. If it's your favorite, of course, it's going to be a 10.

Considering this notion is from Twitter, I'm not surprised.

Isn't that the point? It's one of your favorites because it's good to you which is why you gave it a perfect score... Twitter logic never fails to bewilder me.

I don't care about the ratings or what people think of the anime I just give it a 10/10 because I enjoyed it.

Personally I don’t give out tens very often at all as my view it’s an elite club, all I have in my tens is attack on Titan, FMAB and Your Name. My 9’s I also view as an elite club but I’m more lenient and my 8’s is shows I also love, however 7’s I wouldn’t re watch like I would the rest.
Please stop, I don’t want to see any more Dekugo😭

Do what you want is your score. But if I can be honest, I don't think this is 100% correct because if I look at your list I will say that an anime that probably (idk) does not have a good script and the direction is bad in general opinion but that you enjoyed has 10/10 and others Anime that have an excellent script and excellent direction but that you enjoyed less than the other anime, you give it an 8/10. But it's obviously your list, so do what you want. However, do not forget that a favorite series is different and a series that is good.

I give shows that leave a long lasting impact. Weather that's with story, ending and a nostalgic feeling every time I see anything related tot he show. Except for Tokyo Ghoul.

I think its perfectly fine, nobody else can control your score and there isnt a rule that you cant. If you really enjoyed something then you should rate it on your own opinion, not others.

I can personally separate objective mathematical greatness form personal taste greatness, but that won't stop me from giving a 10 to a show that I think it's a 10 for my personal taste just like I would give a 10 to an anime that I consider objectively a 19

Depends on which way you're looking at it. I think If you try to force your rating of a show into a fact just because you enjoy it then thats a problem. Otherwise you're probably braindead if you think you have to rate the show based on how the majority does it.

When I joined MAL I just gave 10 to every anime I enjoyed. Now that I have watched about a hundred anime I reduced that number to only 4 anime. When you give 10/10 rating to an anime, then that means you found no flaw in that show. Usually people give high ratings to an anime just because they recently finished it and are in the "hype" mode. After about 2 months the hype goes away and you can give the show an honest rating.

Well, people who rate "objectively" or "with a criteria" are useless, so my enjoyment based 10's are even more justified.

I enjoy all anime I give a 6 or above to, but there's different levels of enjoyment.

If people want to give an anime a 10/10 because they enjoy it, that's their prerogative, but it needs to be a more profound experience than just simple enjoyment if I'm to personally give something a 10.

"Enjoying" something vs a 10/10 should not be the same thing. Otherwise the rating system would be simply "like" or "dislike".


Things I have really enjoyed go from around 7-9 and I only have about 3 things on my ENTIRE profile that I've given 10/10s, because they earned them. Epic ride, epic storytelling, and it's by far something I will always return back to, discuss in-depth and try to delve in as deep as possible.
THAT'S deserving a 10 in my opinion. A perfect score. You gotta work to accomplish that, and it's rare; I truly can't understand why some people throw out 10s so easily, to almost everything.

What's the point of having such a rating system in the first place then? I hate this binary thinking of simply "good" OR "bad" and nothing inbetween.
Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.

You can rate shows like the Oscars/Emmy/Grammys where the so-called "experts" choose what movies/shows/songs are the best, or you can choose them yourself...based on whatever reasons YOU like the show, like the People's Choice Awards.

I have 10s on my list that I consider great examples of what anime is and should be, but they aren't necessarily my favorites. But I also have personal favorites with 10s because, simply...they are a TEN to me.

Oh no, some intellectual at Twitter said I shouldn't anime rate anime 10 just because I loved it. Now I must listen to that random stranger. I would have actually listened to them if they were actual intellectuals but Twitter is the same place where people act so immature and get butthurt. Sorry, I hate Twitter.

I dont rate an anime just because I enjoyed it. I usually give 8 or 9 if I like them.
I have 23 10/10s in my list which I can rewatch as many times as I like but most of them are either old or unpopular(Myself Yourself, Sola, H2O footprints in the sand).
I have given Guilty Crown a 10/10.I think that is the anime in my 10/10s which is hated by most people.

I mean it's your ratings. You can rate whatever you want.
Personally, if I could rate a show 9.5, I will move my non-favorite 10s to this category, while my favorites stay in the 10 category.

It's just some random number.
Unless you are conflicted by giving a great anime like Monster and a highly enjoyable but decent battle shounen the same score, you can rate however you want.
I don't get why monster is so famous. I'm on episode 21 and the story is good ig but uhm..

I think a score of 10 should be reserved only for anime you TRULY believe deserve it. And simply enjoying it is nowhere near good enough for a 10. For me personally, I have fairly strict criteria that an anime needs to meet to get a 10.

I personally think that isn't a very good way to score something. The more 10's you dish out the less valuable and "special" they feel (at least for me). Enjoyment also ignores the more "objective" side of an anime. Imagine if someone gave the Berserk 1997 anime and the Pupa anime the same score (10/10) because they enjoyed them to the same degree. I mean there's nothing wrong with enjoying something a lot, in fact sometimes I find bad anime to be more enjoyable than average anime, but they're ruling out the overall quality of the anime and that bugs me a bit.

So, just as a rebuttal to my previous posts since I let other people's ideas of objectivity affect me at the time, you should just rate based on how you like it. The people from Twitter are most likely just elitists. One would have to define what rating objectively is, which people may have different opinions about. A person's view on entertainment value of anime to others aren't going to be all-encompassing since taste varies from person to person. You should just give 10/10s to shows that give you the utmost enjoyment in your experience watching anime.

It's the main reason i give 10/10. Shows i enjoyed the most will get 10/10. Some of them are very simple and kind of cheesy, like Yugioh, but 10/10 based on my love.
My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

It's completely a users prerogative to rate Anime how ever they want regardless if it's a 10/10 just because they enjoyed it.

It is indeed objectively incorret, since you're pretty much saying 7 = 10. However people can do wathever they want and this is definitely not something that bothers me that much.

Rating anime isn't hard. I mean, goddammit guys, just put whatever rating you think is right and move on. No ratings is special or some kind of limited resource that you're suppose to only give out sparingly according to unspoken rules.

It's an arbitrary score for an arbitrary rating system. Everyone rates differently, we shouldn't put too much emphasis on this. To each their own.
