| 6. 5 is not a positive score due to it being in the lower half of the spectrum (1-10). 6 is in the higher spectrum, so it only makes sense. Even then 6 isn't THAT positive. |
| 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. |
| Given that 5 is average, then 6 would probably the ones that fall under this category.. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| I might be a little odd here, but I consider 8 to be the last positive score. 7 is rather neutral and under that it's all negative. I think that would explain my meanscore... |
 |
| 6 when the animation and soundtrack saves the anime, 5 when only the animation saves the anime. so yeah, for me it's either 5 or 6 |
| i consider a 6 a "meh" score... where like, you found it watchable and got some enjoyment out of it anything below that, im gonna assume you just hated it |
   |
| The lowest good one I can give is a 6. Any series that gets that score had some good moments but it was kinda like a drag for me to watch overall. Anything below that means that I agonizingly went through it almost without any enjoyment at all ,_, |
 |
| Obvious answer is obvious. 6 ofcourse. |
| mine is four. anything below that i found nothing good or enjoyable |
 |
| if the anime has 40% unappealing things or more (by giving it 6), i'd say it as negative. 7 is the least positive number in my rating. |
| For me it'd be 6. 5 is something like 'I've watched it but i didn't feel anything, it's not good or bad so i wouldn't recommend it' 6 is something i could talk about and be say something like " Yeah that was an alright anime if you have spare time maybe you should watch it " |
 |
| I consider a 6 to be the lowest positive score. I consider this rating to be decent, as in I didn't mind watching it, however it was good enough to be memorable. I would recommend it to someone, but only if it fits the criteria of the recommendation that they want. And I wouldn't rewatch it unless there was another season coming out, and I wouldn't to refresh my memory since it wasn't memorable to begin with. |
   |
| a 6. a 5 is something too far gone and a 7 is a decently good anime. |

CheerioPlebs said: i rate between 5 and 10. 5 Being totally shit, 7 is average, average being the lowest positive qualification. I agree~ 1-4 are reserved for the worst things I've watched. 7 being good and 8 being very good. But 6 is already a meh for me~ |
| I'm an easy man: 1-4 for bad shows; 6-10 for good shows; 5 is for so-so shows To emphasize what is good and bad, i.e.: Steins;Gate is 6, ergo good show Code Geass is 4, ergo bad show Psycho-Pass is 5, ergo so-so Though the threshold for acknowledging 'recommendable' shows is 8-10. |

| Realistically, 6 is the lowest positive rating. It was something that I am glad got tackled, and despite plenty of problems, I'd consider it a net gain for my anime viewing experience. Technically though, 5. Because there are a few things rated '5' which I do think back on time to time (The Black Rock Shooter TV series). But for the most part, things rated 5 are things that I felt added nothing significant to my anime-viewing experience. |

| Personally a 6. I would recommend a 6 to certain types of people/more forgiving fans. Below that isn't worth watching. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Just 6. Anything below that for me isn't that good. |
| 7 6 and below are bad... but 6 means there's something that entertained me in it but just not enough for it to be decent. |
| 6 means that it had something positive in it, but was otherwise garbage |
| 6 is my lowest positive rating too, it means that I didn´t really like the show but is not bad, not the same as 5 that is average, something really meh. And 4 is my highest negative rating. |
 |
| I give 5 to an average anime which i didn't like, and a 6 to an average anime which i liked a little or i wanna back up |
MohAngelo said: I give 5 to an average anime which i didn't like, and a 6 to an average anime which i liked a little or i wanna back up Feel pretty much the same way here :P Anything 8 above gets a good recommendation from me 7 is worth watching, would probably only recommend it if it pops up in a conversation 6 is alright, watch it if you want but I wouldn't tell you to watch |

| 6-10 : more positives than negatives 5 : positives and negative aspects are equal 4: still has positive aspects, but negatives beginning to outweigh them 3-1: mostly negative |
| The truth is best told straight. |
| everything from 4-10 in my list could be good and get a recommendation but at the same time everything from 1-6 could be bad. 1-3: bad 4: i dislike the show for some reason but it's not necessarily "bad" 5: i don't have any positive or negative emotions towards the show 6: i kinda like the show (even if i would consider it to be "bad") 7-10: good for music i usually use: 4: dislike 5: don't care 6: like a rly good music entry could get a higher score tho. if something like ME!ME!ME! would have it's own entry it would propably get a 9 or a 10 |
 |
| 6 because is not positive it's just mehhhhh. Or 5 could be sucking very hard but have good voice acting or good animation so it would be unfair to judge it only by the plot or characters. |
| 5 is the lowest I can consider something positive (as that includes 5.5. series who in my book are close to reach the 6). |
 |
| 1. I have rated some shows with a 1 that I have watched at least 10 times. The worst rating I give to a show though seems to be 3-4. Because I probably would never watch any of those again. I have probably watched this more than any anime on my entire list and yet I gave it a 1. I have shown it to so many people. I laugh so hard when I watch it. I get much pleasure. I can't explain. It is crap though. I feel sorry for the manga it is based on. https://myanimelist.net/anime/11867/Cipher |

The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| 6. A 5 is something that gave me no reaction, positive or negative. Didn't do anything wrong but didn't do anything right. A 6 did a few things I liked. |
| a 5.000000000000000001 is still a positive for me so yeah it's a 5 using a round up method. |
 |
| 6 would be the lowest positive for me. Anything I rate a 6 is something that I didn't mind watching and enjoyed a little but probably isn't something I'd ever watch again. |
 |
| 7 is my lowest positive, 6 is meh, and 5-1 is anime/manga I don't recommend to anyone. |

| i'd have to enjoy something a little to give it a 5, but it'd probably be on and off enjoyment 6 would be fairly consistent enjoyment, just nothing spectacular |
| 6 is the lowest positive rating I'd say. |

| The lowest positive score for me is a 7. It shows that despite the negatives in it, it was still enjoyable enough for me to finish it. Anything lower than that was me sitting there after the last and going "what the **** did I just watch" 7 and up were like "hey that's pretty gud" |

Barnald said: Funny that almost everyone in this thread agree that it's 6 and yet MAL average ratings are around 8.00 for most shows that are at least decent. Personally it's 6 for me as well. 5 is a neutral, mediocre score. After a great deal of repeat topics I think the AD regulars have convinced the more-quiet forum frequenters that 6 being positive and 5 being not-negative is an equally reasonable (if not more reasonable) stance in comparison to using a 7 to denote typical experiences rather than noteworthy ones. I remember when I first started posting in AD it was still a hotly contested topic, with those in favor of 7 being average being greater in number. Whether the general change in thinking is beginning to extend beyond the forums, I don't know. Unfortunately, even if it does, we are still left with the plethora of users who've stopped using MAL who used such inflated scoring systems, meaning MAL's sitewide averages likely won't be changing for already-aired shows anytime soon However, given that airing shows still seem to be getting scores based on the same inflated scale, this line of thinking is probably still confined to AD for the most part. It doesn't help that many newcomers may look at old scores and think "this new show is just as good/better, so I should rate it just as high/higher", which reinforces MAL's current standard. |

| 5 - average anime 6 - above average 7 - good anime, would recommend to others 8 - amazing anime, only a handful of them 9 - few of my favorite anime of all time 10 - nothing is perfect My lowest positive score is actually 5.5- since I am also using the tag to give more accurate score. My mean score is around 6.0 as I stay away from obvious bad shows. |
| i use mals intended scale so 6 but I rarely score something a six, its either loved it or hated it.... |
| Definitely a 2.That means there is something good in it. |
 |
| as the vast majority said, 6 for me as well. 6 is the most important threshold, because I grant that score only to those series which I thoroughly enjoyed and/or that left a long-lasting positive aftertaste. The rest of my rating scale is "comparative", but 6 has a specific meaning. |
| Like 7. I get bored easily, so I usually either really like an anime or hate it. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| I'd say 5. Though i've given a 4 as a postivie-sh score |
| Four is the lowest positive. Because the average anime is good. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
KatoTheBoredGod said: At least someone is honest here.. XD5 is for ecchi with no plot |
| dont't watch that anime if you are going to give it 1* and cry 10000 words in review about it. |
| 8 is the lowest to be positive. I hardly dislike an anime I watch. It has to be really bad for me to drop an anime or manga. |

| Definitely 3, I have found positive points in several of my 3s. |
