| As the title said. For me is no.According to my own rating system,there is a difference between a Masterpiece and a favourited anime.Here's the difference: +Favourite:An anime that has consistent quality but doesnt have its moments to be a masterpiece (because it's comedy,Slice of life,....) +Masterpiece:The show maybe a little inconsistent but has the moments to be a masterpiece.(for example :Steins;Gate has a slow start but gets better and better later on). That's how I think,how about you guys?Discuss. |
| Not. There is a difference between what I like and what I value. There is even stuff that I respect and score high but don't actually like. |
alshu said: Not. There is a difference between what I like and what I value. There is even stuff that I respect and score high but don't actually like. Pretty much this. Just because I really like something personally doesn't mean I can't recognize flaws in it. |
| I only rate based on enjoyment and I only gave my favorite show a 9/10. |
| No cause even tho the enjoyement that the anime gave me play a big role in the rating i gives to it but "objectivity" based on my standards still plays a role during the rating process (the importance of the role of objectivity depends on the anime tho) enjoyement still matters the most |

| If it's my favorite then it's 8-10. If it isn't my favorite it can be an 8 but not 9-10. |

alshu said: Not. There is a difference between what I like and what I value. There is even stuff that I respect and score high but don't actually like. But if you don't enjoy it or like it. You shouldn't rate it high at all. |
| If I think it deserves a 10, then yeah I do. |
     |
| For me my favorites are all ranked 10, otherwise they couldn't be favorites if they didn't have the quality (and enjoyment that goes along with it) for it. However not all 10 ranked shows are necessarily my favorites. There would be shows which I ranked 10 since they are objectively that good, but I may not consider them favorite in true meaning of the word. There are some shows that I have special relationship with that may not be 10 rated, but I would not really consider those my favorites. It would be things like "First anime I ever watched" may not have been a masterpiece, but I do have a special relationship with it as a result. But it would not make it a favorite either. For me favorites are best shows that I watched that left a lasting impression on me. If we go by that definition, they have to be 10 rated. Also I would disagree that there can't be 10 rated slice of life or comedy anime, as you are implying. There are certainly anime in those genres that I would consider masterpieces. EDIT: Now that I think about it, it may not be so inaccurate to say all anime I ranked 10 are actually my favorites, even if some less so than others. So second paragraph may be somewhat inaccurate instead :D |

| I don't give anything a 10, i personally don't think they exist. My favorites aren't based on what makes an anime a 10 or near it either, it's something that can substitute my world for theirs, or kick my heart in the dick, then it's a favorite. That isn't to say i don't include that in my ratings either, just everything has its draw backs, and that's okay. |
 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| Just because my favorites are listed doesn't mean they're masterpieces, plot may not be up to par or certain characters irk me... |
 |
| No, because there's a difference between a masterpiece and what I enjoyed a lot. |
 |
| An anime doesn't have to be a 10 to be a favorite. Every anime has flaws. But if it's good enough for me to not give a damn about its flaws, then I'm giving it a 10. |
 |
| I used to have a favorite that has the score of 5 all the anime in my favorites are the ones that I am currently enjoying watching (suit up my taste) and can learn and explore the most of (evoke the most feelings and thoughts of me) there are quality anime that are rated by 9 on my list and still I would never put them into my favorites because they are not up to my taste |
| At best it gets a 9/10 To this day I haven't found a single "ultimate" anime / "masterpiece". Each anime I've watched so far has its flaws. |
 |
| yeah really my favorites list is filled with anime I think is some of the best anime has to offer |

| A 10 doesn't have to be perfect. Nowhere in the definition of a masterpiece is it written that it can't have any flaws, masterpieces are just works that are extraordinarily outstanding. People are free to use whatever criteria they feel are appropriate to judge art. You can make a difference between one of your favorites and what you consider to be a masterpiece, but you can also view both as being the same. Personally I consider some of the works I didn't give a 10 to still be masterpieces (like Blame or Kozure Ookami). |

Because? I don't see a reason why you opinion should be more valid than mine. |
| my favorites are masterpieces you cant change my mind |
| No, I don't rate my favourites a 10 every time. I am only concerned with which anime become my favourites. The rating assigned to it is reflective of how enjoyable the show was on a whole, despite its shortcomings. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| It would be a yes for me. The reasons are that I connected with the main character and the story line was outstanding. Every episode was great and i even bought collectibles from that anime |
| "Never Give Up Without A Fight" By Zuko |
| Trying to guess the objective artistic value of an anime is pointless (source experience) so I intentionally rate stuff coming from my own perspective. If I rate something low that means it failed to appeal to me, not that it could not have any value to anybody. If I rate something 10 it's because it effected me on a personal level, which is basically the most I could ever ask from a piece of art. |
| Depends. My favorites aren´t always that perfect, but if them met my requirements, I give a 10. |

Boobsftw said: I do not use a separate quality/"masterpiece"/etc. rating. My ratings are solely based on how much I enjoyed/appreciated the series. After all, that is the purpose of anime, isn't it? :PDo you rate your favourite anime a 10 or not?Why? For me is no.According to my own rating system,there is a difference between a Masterpiece and a favourited anime.Here's the difference: +Favourite:An anime that has consistent quality but doesnt have its moments to be a masterpiece (because it's comedy,Slice of life,....) +Masterpiece:The show maybe a little inconsistent but has the moments to be a masterpiece.(for example :Steins;Gate has a slow start but gets better and better later on). That's how I think,how about you guys?Discuss. That said, I don't use a 10, because of the way I have mapped my five-point rating scale to a 10-point scale. 1 = hate 3 = dislike 5 = meh 7 = like 9 = love and the numbers in between are filled in as desired. I could have used 10 and omitted 1. Maybe I'll do that in the future. Who knows. |

alshu said: Because? I don't see a reason why you opinion should be more valid than mine. I didn't even say my opinion is more vaild lol I just mean what's the point of rating a anime a higher score even through you didn't like it yourself. |
| It depends on several aspects, for example Neon Genesis Evangelion and Fullmetal alchemist Brotherhood are my two favorite animes and also I considered masterpieces both of them and I give them 10. On the other hand I also give 10 to Serial Experiments Lain because I truly think it is a masterpiece but Lain it's far from being one of my favorites animes. Also I give 10 to A Place Further Than The Universe because it's a personal favorite but I know it is not a masterpiece. |
 |
| yeah i find a difference between a masterpiece and favorite too. some of my favorites have 9's and a lot of my 10s arent favorites. |
 |
| I don’t score any anime a 10 because there is no such thing as a perfect anime |
  |
| My favorites are the anime that I deeply connected with but 10/10 is something that I enjoyed the most/max. There is a little difference for me at least |
| I don't see any other reason to not rate my favorites a 10. I mean it's my favorites for a reason. I'm not gonna do this complicated mental gymnastics people seem to do to conclude that their favorites are somehow not masterpieces because of arbitrary standards. That's foolishness tbh. I know what I value and want. I ain't got time for that BS. |

Zachhh said: I just mean what's the point of rating a anime a higher score even through you didn't like it yourself. The point is that scoring is evaluation of qualities. You are putting more weight on enjoyment and I am putting less. So why are you telling me to use your method instead of mine? If this is helpful to you it's not working for me. This kind of bias is not practical for what I am using MAL for - a remainder for animes and their qualities. Will remember the enjoyable ones without lists and scores. |
alshuOct 6, 2018 2:58 PM
| this is a very difficult question. i am not sure how to solve this. for example yamada kun and comic girls were very enjoyable to me and one of my favorites. on the one hand i would give them a 10/10 but on the other hand their story and setting would objectively not be more than a 7/10. maybe a good 6. characters und comedy i would give a 9/10. in the end they got a 9 because they were really great to me. but than i get a guilty conscience because a rated death note or code geass as 8s of 10 which are in every aspect better than the two above except of enjoyment. |
| Sure, there has to be a benchmark after all. |

Well that's where you need to draw a line. Question. What is your standard model of rating shows? Is it to give them objective rating or is it to give them subjective rating based on how you feel about the show. Pick one, discard the other. Having both creates confusion in your list. the most of the animes i've watched, i gave them objective ratings. but their are a couple of exceptions. those two above plus karakai jouzo are some which come to my mind but there are not many other exceptions. but yes you are right because this is confusing to my list :') |
| I've said it before and I'll say it again: I only rate 10's as a joke. There's no such thing as a perfect anime. Every anime has it flaws. The highest I'll go ever for my favorites are 9's, wich is still 'Great' |

Based said: No, actually my highest rating for an anime is 8 no offense but you have watched over 300 animes and spend a lot of time while doing it. your mean score is a 4.3. most of the anime you have watched you rated a 4 (bad) or worse. why do you even watch that amount of anime. this is not understandable to me. |
| @ResKori All I'm gonna say is if your favorite isn't something you highly value(to treat it as a masterpiece or near it), there's something wrong here. Hence, why I call it mental gymnastics. There shouldn't even be a dichotomy between what you love and what you find good in the first place. |
| No because my ratings are spread out to be more useful. But I wouldn't call a favorite something I don't consider very good, so pretty much everything 8 and above is a favorite of mine. |
 |
| Not all of them. But the anime I've rated 10/10 are in my favorites so yes. I can't imagine rating them so highly and not having them in my favorites. But my favorites are just titles I immensely enjoy anyway |
alshu said: Not. There is a difference between what I like and what I value. There is even stuff that I respect and score high but don't actually like. This is exactly what I'd say, if someone hasn't already said it. |
 |
| It’s a maybe from me, because a good portion of my favorite anime are given a 10, but not all. And even the ones with 10s I still believe have flaws, but were outweighed with the good. I don’t consider myself to be a fantastic critic, but I think I’m at least able see the difference between a masterpiece and a piece of garbage. I just don’t analyze or think too hard about my scores, they’re probably based off of enjoyment. If it made me feel something and it’s not shitty it’s getting a 9 or 10 okay |
