| When I get a bonerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr |
| When something is top notch. I only reserve those spots for personal favorites. |
| Whenever I like and truly enjoyed the series... |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| I give a 9 whenever I feel a series delivered heavy, consistent enjoyment throughout the series and had little noticeable flaws. A 10 however is a series that resonates very well with me after I watch it and I consistently compare it to other shows to see if they can match its quality. |
 |
| 10 if it has Gintama in the title, 9 if it doesn't. |
| When a series lets me fap twice/thrice simultaneously... |
| When I'm biased towards a anime/series |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| Pretty much when I feel that it was a series that stood out to me and I really enjoyed through and through. (9) Same as above but basically when I really have a appreciation for the series, it was just so awesome, story development was great, etc. Also pretty much absolute favorites without a doubt. (10) |

| When it hits all the right notes on what I search for a show. |
| An anime gets a 9 from me if it impresses me very well and makes itself memorable. I give an anime a 10 if I can't explain why it is good, because it simply just is... |

| a 10 is when... there's not really any criteria, it just amazes me all the way through. I fall in love with the characters and art and everything comes together so well. It's the kind of thing I'd need to answer individually I suppose. I like to put it like this, if I have to think about it, it isn't a 10. A 9 is an all time favorite that doesn't quite accomplish the above. It doesn't quite reach those heights for one reason or another whether that be flaws or simply not being amazing enough often enough. Berserk has the makings of a 10, and it's ending kind of kills it, but even with a good ending I don't know if that would be quite enough. There are moments for all the characters when I get that feel, but there wasn't enough of that. Not enough Guts' existential anxiety, not enough of Griffith's ambition, it's 3 phenomenal characters in a slightly less than phenomenal story. Then there's Kaiba and Mind Game which were never a 10, but always a 9, consistent at that level. |
 |
| The last 9s I watched were Erased, Prison School, and Princess Tutu. Erased and Princess Tutu both gave me an intense sense of anticipation with the end of every episode, with great characters and story. However, Prison School got a 9 based off the amazing "what the hell I NEED MORE" feeling I got from the last episode. The series was already a strong 8 based off its unique comedy and cliffhangers, but that pushed it over the edge. |

| All the time... My average rating is 9.03 |
 |
| usually, 10 connects more on a personal level, while 9 might be just as good of a watch as the 10s, but lacks on a more realism/microcosm level. |
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS. |
| I give a series a 10 when I feel as though it was a masterpiece, but more importantly when I feel as though I have a personal connection to it and can relate to the message being sent across. I give a series a 9 when all the criteria mentioned above is met except that I don't have a personal connection to it. Yes, it was great and I totally understand the message being sent across, but I can't relate to it emotionally. This is only for series outside of the genres of comedy, ecchi, or harem though. |
| I give 9 when the anime is a masterpiece, but the ending is not satisfying. I give 10 when the anime is a super masterpiece like the story will hooked every scene, art and animation was detailed and precise, the characters are unique and interesting, sound is catchy, even if the ending sometimes does not meet your expectations you would understand the author. Simple as that. |
 |
| When I feel like it deserves it, regardless if it even isn't a personal fav of mine. I rate based on enjoyment nearly all the time though. |
 |
| 10 - Perfect. A show that has earned my undying love, and thats not an exaggeration. Not only was the writing perfect throughout (it has to be otherwise i get taken out of the moment, or don't feel the way I should about certain things) but something about it resonated with me so deeply that it has become an inseparable part of me. One of the better indications of this is that I can never get tired of this show, and I have watched it over and over again and I enjoy it every time. Nothing can be a 10 on the first watch. 9 - The best of the best. Only truly special shows break the 9 threshold. The holy trinity of character, theme and plot was thoroughly developed to the point that I genuinely care about the characters, what they go through and their world. A 9 can effect my real life because of how eloquent it is told, or how much I care. This is the cream of the crop best anime imo. I don't take the term masterpiece lightly, I think it should be really hard to be considered a perfect 10/10 |
| When i think it's great = 9 when i think it's masterpiece = 10 |
| I usally give it 9 - 10 if it has a sort of cold / evil Mc and i can watch alot of episodes without thinking (only so many episodes left) |
 |
| When it's really fuckin' good AND comes with few or no flaws for me to complain about. The lack of flaws doesn't automatically mean a perfect score (lookin' at you, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust), but when combined with high quality, you have the recipe for a 9-10/10. |
 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." |
| When it deserves them, just like any other score i give. |

| When the animu make my kokoro goes doki doki. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Cause its really good and worth a 9 or 10. |

 ♔ caught in the wonder ♔ |
| I reserve 9s and 10s for my very favourite anime. Out of the 552 anime I have rated I have only given five 10s and 18 9s. A 10 means that it really touched me on a personal level and 9 means that I thought it was amazing in a way that anime I rated lower simply weren't able to be. Even 8s I seldom give out and hold in high regard. |
  |
| For me to give 10s (other than total personal biasness), it needs to have a really very good story and character development throughtout the whole of the series. The characters are realistic (in their context) and you can see them grow as the story progresses. Along with great animation and awesome soundtracks to create the proper mood. Visually pleasing backgrounds are even more of a bonus. And lastly I need to gain something out of reading this story, usually some realisation that is impactful enough to change the way I live or I think. That's probably a masterpiece for me. 9s are animes that I greatly recommend to almost anyone, but fall short of the citeria mentioned above. |

| I'd say that 9 was pretty much flawless. 10s are as well but I'd say I could personally relate to it... Well there was that little plus. |
| when my favorite ship are sailing, plust the progress of the main story :D |
The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
| I've always found MAL's listing for "9" being "Great" hilarious. A 9, to me, is more like "Exceptional". These are the shows that stick with you, that I feel have longevity within the industry and stand out as shining examples of how good anime can (sometimes) be. If I'm giving something a 10 then it's up there with the best media I've read/seen. Period. |
 |
| i rarely give 9 or 10 i do when i love the story and it makes me feel the void after finish it +i will give it if my ship sail but didnt happen yet :"( |
