Piromysl said: Mediocre. I am new to anime (started in January 2015). Some people may call it casual, so I am still watching mostly those things who I expect to be enjoyable. Mostly looking at rating, genre and recommendations. But I do realize there are exceptions like School Days, who received so much undeserved hate. I hated school days, but there are many reasons why lol I can go into that for another post. I can see why people may like it in terms of a different kind of harem, but I didn't think it was good at all. Sorry :( |

But I would definitely love to see more Fino, that's for sure. oh yea all the characters were funny in their own way, but she was just the best thing ever lol I thought it was quite interesting in itself. The title literally described the whole premises of the show, which I thought was funny. I rated 7. |

The title literally described the whole premises of the show, which I thought was funny. I rated 7. I have gone back and forth about 3 or 4 times between giving it a 6 or a 7. It is an anime that's not trying to compete with the top contenders, so I always felt a tad harsh giving it a 6 because it is funny and the characters are written perfectly for this kind of show. But, I just feel deep down it deserves a 6 from me. |

| It means that it was okay and not a really good anime. I usually only give 6's to anime that I thought would be good but were meh |

| I always found it pretty amusing when someone would talk about a show being bad and after looking at their list, you see that they gave it a 5 or a 6, or on the other hand someone being like, "it wasn't that good" and them having rated the show an 8 or a 9. Sometimes I don't understand the way people rate shows in their lists and I don't think I want to know, either. It's pretty easy for me to distinguish a series between 5 or 6, because there comes in the element of being interested in it. If I gave a series a 5, I know it wasn't bad but didn't interest or humor me throughout the majority of the show, while a 6 is something that did. I find myself on the fence a lot more often when it comes to deciding whether I want to give a show a 7 or an 8. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |

But that is why I don't get why people always come down my throat (haha not literally) about giving an anime a 6 rating. A 6 is not bad at all and I don't think people should give an anime a 6 if they think it is bad. Maybe give it a 6 if you think it's really boring, but not really because it is really bad. Even a 5 I don't think is bad and a 4 is bad but there was something about it I enjoyed. |

| I normally give 6s to anime that I enjoyed quite a bit and have a good pay-off, but do not stand out that well. I normally recommend such anime to those who like other similar anime. However, when I first started using MAL, I hardly gave 6s and reserved it for lackluster anime. |

I wish I could go full-retard sometimes and be able to understand the mindset enough to explain it, but that is pretty much impossible.

| I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| My 6's are good but meh, nothing special |
| I have to agree that the line between 7 and 8 is blurry. Usually I use other similar anime to decide if the show I'm rating was better or worse. |
 |
| 6 = Fine. That's it! Nothing more or less. It was ok, enjoyable with some elements here n there that made it kinda meh. |

Snappynator said: 6 = Fine. That's it! Nothing more or less. It was ok, enjoyable with some elements here n there that made it kinda meh. Exactly. I personally wouldn't consider a 5 bad because 5 is average on the rating scale. It means that I was able to complete the anime but nothing there had a new element to it; it was average. |
|
| It means that shit sux and you shouldn't watch it |

And not even that it is they disliked it, but they just don't hold it to the same god status lol.

| 6/10 is typically what I use for shows I somewhat enjoyed watching or enjoyed watching a lot but wasn't really all that great |
 |
| 6/10 = Fine. See it the same way MAL puts it. If another reviewer gives an anime a 6 I'd still give it a try if it seems interesting to me. |

| For me its above average to decent tbh. |
| 'Fine'. Bit above average, with more positives than negatives, I enjoyed it but wouldn't exactly call it good, it didn't impress me. |
 |
| I usually rate 6 when I don't feel like I wasted my time watching a show. It had either a strangely compelling narrative/character, a bunch of surprisingly well done episodes/arc or some other unique quality hard to find anywhere else. Average with added benefits. |
 |
| Fine. It was above average, but I wouldn't consider it "good". Still liked it overall though. |
| It's fine, it's alright, it's a cut above average. Could be better, a lot better, but it's okay. |
 |
| 6 is ok. I wouldn't recommend or rewatch it, but it's ok. 6 is not a waste of time nor an enjoyment or a good use of time. Lets say I would certainly know it's a 6 for me before I watched it, I wouldn't watch it then. I would maybe make an exception for a 6 really close to a 7. |
 |
| Just gonna quote my scoring system in my list "If it is a seven and six, it means I quite enjoyed it and is somehow memorable." and FYI: "The scores I give here is only based on my subjective taste. I didn't include any objective and technical scores(If the plot progression is done well, the direction, the writing, etc. etc)." |
| Enjoyable I guess .I could have done without it tho . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| For me: 6 - Not bad, but also not too remarkable. Average to a little bit below average. Many 'not too good' parts. I liked it to a certain degree. Anyway, still worth giving a try i guess. I'm not sure what i would recommend. |
 |
| 6/10 for me means (if it's not a light, comedy anime) it's fine but it doesn't deserve the hype |
蒼穹を舞う。  |
| 6 /10 is an average rating for me, I'd stick by the show in most cases. |
 |
| Has some good point and noticeable bad points. Characters are important to me. |

Anything as good as that. |
| 6 = like, would definitely rewatch. Anything above 6 i consider my favorites |
| For me it's okay. Not really worth watching but I had fun while watching it, so I don't regret it either. It has something more than just any other show. I wouldn't be compelled to watch a show if the top reviews are 6/10. |
 |
| A lot of MAL users tend to believe that 6/10 is considered to be a bad scored which is quite laughable. -Mastergold |
 |
| 6/10 = Fine just like the Mal ratings |

| It has some good points, basically "Fine". |
| A show that I enjoyed but had some flaws I couldn't overlook. |
| 6 is meh, worth a watch but not something I'd recommend to a friend unless it was very specifically their type of show. Usually watch if having trouble finding something good or just finished something really good and don't want to actually get into anything new yet. |
| For me, a 6 is a show, which is enjoyable, but not necessarily good. It is better than a 5, which is balancing between being bad and OK, but worse than a 7, which is a consistently good show. |
 |
| I would assume it has an unoriginal but alright plot and average fighting put alongside with nothing we haven't seen before |
 |
| For me, a 6 means that I enjoyed it, but I couldn't get around the flaws of the show. |
 |
| Above average, but not much more than that. |
AltoRoark99 said: If a credible reviewer gives a certain anime 6/10, are you compelled to watch it or not? Depends on genre but I never go with just one review if I'm uncertain about an anime. AltoRoark99 said: Do you consider 6/10 to be slightly positive, or slightly negative? 6 isn't a bad score imo. The show might lack a lot of things or fall short on story etc. but still manage to keep things interesting enough to be enjoyable. Anything below 5 would be a bad score for me. AltoRoark99 said: How do you truly feel about an anime you give 6/10 to? Examples? Another and SAO are 6/10 for me. Enjoyable enough to be watched but falls short on the overall experience. |

| I would only watch a 6/10 show if the show catches my interest in some way. There are plenty of shows I have given a 6/10 or have gotten a 6/10 by reviewers that I still really enjoyed, but when there are so many shows that I know will be a lot better or I have been meaning to watch for some time, I will obviously go with those over a show that is just a bit better than what I consider to be a pretty "meh" (a 5, which is average or uninteresting to me). |
 |
| Since my scoring system is scaled down a bit, a 6 for me is a show that I liked but not a favorite. My 6's aren't all too relative though. |
