| I don't consider myself the harshest critic but I do take my rating style pretty seriously. So while I do give a lot of 8s and 9s (which by my standards is still fairly high).. I don't give out a lot of 10s. A 10 for me isn't necessarily "flawless", just that said series had little to no flaws that bothered or annoyed me. Also it had to be a series that I considered a piece of art that really resonated with me on a personal and emotional level. Like the kind of stuff that constantly had me in awe time and time again and never had a dull moment. And just never left my mind months (even years after watching) because the impression it had on me was so great. Lastly, the Anime has to be complete with a proper ending that ties up all loose ends! Leaving nothing more to be desired because it had a satisfying payoff! How do y'all decide if an Anime is a 10/10? |
| A rare fusion of entertainment and quality that I felt was either extremely enjoyable or meaningful to watch (like 4% of what I've watched). The story was fantastic, the characters were likable to the point where it made me get emotionally attached and care about what was going on, it was well made, and it ended conclusively or satisfyingly. |

| 1: a compelling plot 2: a finished story (the story has to have a proper ending by the end of the series) 3: good characters 4: enjoyable to watch 5: a minimum of 20 episodes If the anime meets those criteria than I will consider giving it a 10. out of the 169 shows i have completed I have a total of 6 shows that I gave a 10 |

| I don't currently use the 10. My rating scale presently only goes up to 9. The 9 for me represents a series that I love, and didn't give me enough qualms to drop it to an 8. Compare 7, which means I like it, but not to the intensity of loving it. A 5 is a meh, a 3 is a dislike, and a 1 is a hate. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| it has to be the best of all time to be a 10/10 |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| It has to start with Cowboy and end with Bebop and not much in between tbh. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Terrific storytelling Incredible character development Tense drama Superb art style |

| When a series manage to capture exactly what I wanted from it. |
| i know that it may be absurd but one of the main standard for an 10 on 10 anime for me is that it should be quite an emotional show.hence Angel beats,Natsume Yuujinchou, Anohana and Colorful(movie) are highly rated in my list |
| 10 needs to have a memorable / developed cast, the story has to be thought out and have good structure, pacing ++ if small details are added along the way down the line for early readers, be the absolute best of its genre aka no other title can knock it out with better premise handling. Added bonus if it made me cry, lots of 9's made me cry too but that'll usually solidify it. |
 |
| For me a 10/10 is something I felt a strong emotional resonance with (Welcome to the NHK, Evangelion), something that I think about a lot and had an impact at the way I look at things (Haruhi and Evangelion again), or sometimes its just something thats really well produced and does what it does amazingly (The Chimera Ant Arc in Hunter X Hunter was reminiscent of something that in my head I wanted to see play out forever and the fact it did that in a very well made show and Nichijou is just really fucking and the fact that its so well animated and very comfortable feeling adds to it) |
| if the show makes me impatient like i wanted to finish the entire episodes as fast as i can because i can't wait to know what happened next because of its good story. |
 |
| being a 10/10 anime no need to thank me |
| Blood tastes like iron |
| I've never rated an anime a 10/10. Mostly because it lacks yuri, lolis, and incest. |
  |
| There is no fixed standard, and it's very hard to describe as I rate them based on feeling. But when I'm rating an anime 10/10, I'm definitely enjoying it thoroughly. They are usually comedies. |
| I've never given an anime a 10/10 immediately after watching it. It may sound silly, but if I'm still awestruck about a particular anime many months after I've finished watching it, ill give it a 10. An anime has to resonate with me on an emotional level. And sometimes that takes awhile to sink in. Like you said OP, 10s aren't necessarily flawless, however for me it comes down to pure enjoyment. I don't hand out 10s very often, but when I do, I hold them in exceptionally high regards. Those are my standards for 10/10s. |
| A 10/10 is an anime that inspires me and truly exemplifies what I love about the medium. Has to strike me with masterful storytelling, amazing visuals and a memorable/well utilised soundtrack, but also resonate with me conceptually and thematically. I usually find myself re-watching my favourite scenes from an anime shortly after finishing it, and a 10/10 will have a lot of these scenes, so much so that I'm virtually starting the whole series again. I would probably be able to recommend these anime to anyone. |

| Out of 300+ Anime I have completed that I can remember I think only 3 have a 10 rating? For me a 10 rating is something that is profound and leaves an impact. Also I tend to give favor to anime that have original idea's and themes. For example Shin Sekai Yori. The show starts off in a bit of a lull but takes us on a fantastic joyride into the supernatural as well as makes us consider the rules we as a society impose on others. The theme IMO is original, the artwork is well done and doesn't need flash to make itself known. The soundtrack is memorable to be sure, and the characters for me were unique and real. I take the MAL rating system serious and find too many people rate everything from 5-10 usually 8-10. I find these people to be either dishonest, ignorant of how a rating system works, or that I just cant take them seriously when they rate or review something. Personally unless your new to anime if your mean score is 7+ I think your doing something wrong. |
| There are so many people who spam 10 randomly.. but i take it very seriously. Perfection for me means 9 honestly. the jump from 9 to 10 is something very hard and that i have to feel inside.. Must be a godly creation that let you think about it, complicated in many aspects that make me say WOW. If i put a 10 it totally means i will never forget it and will leave something forever inside me. There are so many times i have watched something that in the end made me felt great.. but with passing of time you almost forget it. I haven't put any 10 to an anime yet, i have three 9 tho. My favourite is chihayafuru, i'm evening learing to play karuta but i felt to put 9, about death note i think the second part doesn't deserve a 10. And shingeki well... for now is 9.. might change later when i get to discover everything about titans the visual novel steins;gate is the only 10 i put in my life. While i voted G-senjou no maou 9,5 because some common route is boring, but the true route is 10/10 100% |
| A person's life is not comprised of four repeating season, but a year-long winter wilderness, whether or not you stop to wipe your blood or tears, they will inevitably freeze over. |
| I only have one criteria for a 10: I enjoyed that show more than Your Lie in April and Slam Dunk. Not both shows together, but individually enjoyed. |
 |
| I'm not hyper critical. I watch Anime to be entertained. So if it ebtertains or intrigues me in any way possible then that usually helps the score. How I rate my animes depends on hiw I found the story, characters, animation and entertainment or intrigue value. I love a good anime that draws me in and makes me ponder whatd gonna happen next. Or an anime that flat out makes me laugh or smile or just enjoy whats happening. |
| my standards are that i have to enjoy it a lot |
| if i like it a lot its a 10. if im going to seriously rate it tho thats a different story, because no matter how i want to convince myself re zero deserves a 10 at the end of the day its not a 10 show but then again its how i rate shows if i like what i gave it then i keep the score i gave it. if i give a show a 9 but know deep down it deserves a 7, screw that im going to give it a 9 because its my rating lmao not yours |

OfLove111 said: 10: Something I consider nearly perfect and/or something I enjoyed far too much to give it a lesser score. It doesn't need to have high production values to reach the second requirement, but it can't have any serious flaws. These are the shows where it's likely I would seek out to buy merchandise, DVDs/blu-ray, and/or manga. I wouldn't mind dropping whatever I'm doing to rewatch at least some of it. Yeah, that means I give out 10s more often than they deserve, but eh, well. |
| discussions about scores or how people score are absolutely the most boring shit |
| It just have to blow all my preconceptions of what is good and just impress me a whole lot with whatever it has going for it. But that's actually harder nowadays since I'm becoming more jaded lol. |
| If I managed to fap to it at least 10 times, of course. |
 |
| it's simple. which can satisfy me, make me feel speechless, and make me always remembered even though i've watched other anime. like me enchanted to give that high rating |

Rudan said: discussions about scores or how people score are absolutely the most boring shit indeed. agree with you. that's just people perception. can't argue with that shit. |
兵家 "Green how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches." |
| A fusion of quality and an emotional connection to the show/manga. And that's why I only have 2 10s in my list. |

| I don't know. I just feel like it deserves that rating based on my enjoyment of the show as a whole. |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| 10 - can ignore or love everything wrong with it 1 - can only see what's wrong with it |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| Perfect story with no plotholes. The characters are good and understandable. Art is high quality. |
 |
| Well, if 10 means perfect anime, then there's no such thing. I have only given movie series is Kara no Kyoukai only because I want people to watch it and appreciate it even if they don't enjoy it. I think it's an anime what people need to experience. |
| anime that is top tier in one thing or another that greatly outweighs the negative parts |
 |
| I just have to like it, that’s all. |
"Nothing can stay unchanged." |
| If i like it its a 10/10. ﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠﾠ |
| A 10 for me is the pinnacle of the medium both in quality and personal attachment. I've only rated one anime 10/10 and it's well deserved. |
 |
| 1- NO OPEN ENDING AT THE FINAL EPISODE. If they give me a portion of a story, the best possible score for me is a 9. 2- Good plot. It can be simple like Yuru Camp. A complex story doesn't mean it is automatically good (Sekaisuru Kado) 3- Good characterization. I'm not too picky with animation quality and CG, but, if the CG is really bad, I usually remove some points. |
| if I enjoy it so fucking much that even the imperfections of the anime seem worthless. |
