If you've read some replies, you'd see not everyone uses the entire scale, like me

Some don't go under a certain score, and I was just curious what that score is for others

If you don't like it, just ignore

I know that since times immemorial. Why do you think the site's scores are all fucked up? I just commented my surprise cause this thread sounds as necessary to me as 'What is the highest score you give to an anime?'. ¯\_(ใƒ„)_/¯

gonna sound like a broken record, but the lowest score i've given is a 4 to SAO 2

i should use a wider variation of scores, but i rarely go below 5.

This. I have even seen some people who give 10/10 to EVERY anime that they have on their list. Pretty much ruins the scoring if lots of people do it.

its tricky for me since i don't go out of my way to watch bad anime, and i typically dont complete dumpster fires. that said, I believe I just gave a 2 to thousand musketeers after dropping it because dear god that show was awful.

The lowest I've given was a 2. I was debating for a good while whether to give Boko no Pico a 1 or a 2, because the art wasn't really that bad. Iirc it averaged out to a 2.

1/10 because the way I score actually shows the finer details of the quality of the anime. Those who lump everything together and artificially inflate their scores without thinking too much probably don't watch anime too seriously and I think that's honestly okay. People can watch anime at their own pace or method and don't need to seriously reflect on the shows they watch. It's just a shame that the scores on this site are so mangled thanks to aggregate scoring.

I haven't seen a 1/10 anime but I attempted to watch SAO and gave it a 2/10.
on another note I was expecting HighSchool DxD to be my first 1/10 but so far I'm actually enjoying it a lot more than I expected.

The thing is, a show has to be spectacularly bad to deserve a 1 so when someone gives a show that clearly doesn't deserve it, a 1, that means they are not objective but just show how much they hated it. That said, if you hated it so much, why did you bother finishing it?

The only 1 I've ever given is the Oreimo's ending because it was not only bad but insulting to me as a viewer (or even a somewhat sane person, since what the mc did made no sense at all).

Most people here are saying 1, and I believe that's true, but I think the OP has a point here. If you drop every show you dont like, and don't rate dropped shows, most of your shows really aren't going to be below a 4 or 5

1 exists there for a reason... although I've only given it to one show so far. Since I score based on my enjoyment it essentially means it's a show that I will never be able to enjoy even as a concept.

The only anime I've given that rating to is Tsuki ga Kirei which isn't even a bad anime... But I will personally never be able to appreciate a teenage romance between two characters that are so painfully shy they barely talk. The whole thing just sounds painful to me and I wanted to strangle the lead characters the entire episode I watched.

For me, it is technically 1 although that's about as rare as my 10 which is once in a blue moon.

2 is my go to "I hate this" rating cuz even if I hate it, I can recognize that there was probably at least one thing that was at least not horrible compared to the rest of the show in my opinion.

Masamune kun is my only 1 because nothing happened, there was nothing to take from it, it wasn't funny, there was no ending, I disliked all the characters, etc.

I personally don't think there's a single thing in the story or characters that was not very bad.

People can use whatever rating scale they want cuz I don't really care about the MAL rating at all really. You do you and I'll do me sort of thing.

I use the 1-9 scale. (10 is currently unused)

You can see my current ratings distribution here.

https://graph.anime.plus/GlennMagusHarvey/ratings,anime

Most of my ratings are from 6-9, but that's because I use 5 for "meh", and anything below that is something I disliked...and I often don't complete shows I don't like, and I often don't rate shows I don't complete.

1, I used it only a couple of times because I really think that it's hard to find a show that bad. I usually stick with 3 or 4 to shows that I don't like. 6 is a good score in my scale.

But well, to each their own. If someone wants their own scores to be meaningless, they have every right to make them meaningless.


What a bitch of a user.
And meaningless? Every user have their own meaning in their ratings.

I don't think too deep when rating a show. I just rate what I feel like.
To think deeply over rating your favorite anime is nothing but lame. Grow up.

You watch shit shows worth rating 1/10 then it's your responsibility to wait a second and say "what the fuck am i doing with my life?"

Every user has a different way of rating? SURE, in my case enjoyment is the only valid point. But there is a logic behind the numbers, rating 7 a show you don't like or that you think that it's bad for X reason is dumb AF.

Usually a 4 as the description is quite on point; "bad". I only have one series under that at a 3, but that was out of spite since the show pissed me off more than actually being bad. On an objective standpoint, I see no reason to rate anything below a 4 as I wouldn't subject myself to watching something that warranted a rating worse than being "bad".

No one read OPs thing, they literally said 6 still means fine, and that they just drop the bad stuff. Nothing is wrong with that, it's a pretty logical way to watch anime. I regret completing most of the shows I didn't enjoy when I could've been watching something actually good. I only complete those shows to give me a better understanding of my standard critically and to discuss it(and those being the only reasons to do so).

Anyway, the lowest I gave is a 1/10 to Glasslip(which is the only 1/10 I gave). 1/10 is something bad in a very basic way or something confusing, so it's a rare score to give. Usually, a really bad show would end up with a 2/10.

your 7 still means good so makes no sense why you gave this rating to an anime you didn't enjoy


For me 7/10 is something that was good, I still enjoyed it, but I wouldn't watch more than one season of it
If you enjoyed something then why would you only want to watch 1 season of it? The 2nd season should be good and enjoyable as well, why do you fear another season of it?

1, but I don't use it very often and if I do it's for a bad hentai title.

Probably a 5/6 for me if it's less I won't watch the entire season and I won't rate it unless I have seen the full season first. I don't understand how some people can only watch a few episodes and rate a show.

So far 5 out of 10 is the lowest I've gone - for Black Clover, Zombieland Saga (both dropped) and Re: Zero (completed). I think I'm too polite to give any lower than that :D

I use the whole scale (1/10) and my own rating system where 4 isn't necessarily bad, but borderline bad and far far from good.

Sounds like me. I'd give a 4 to something that's borderline, just marginally enjoyable. The lower ratings are for stuff that's actually bad, that I disliked or couldn't stand to continue watching. So far I've only encountered two like that. Maybe I've just done a good enough job of vetting what I decide to watch before I start watching it that it seldom happens.

I'm not using the whole scale, because as I said, If i don't like an anime, I just don't finish it, and I don't rate it 1/10 just because it wasn't a good anime for me

Just because you don't like something, it doesn't necessarily mean it's so bad that it'd deserve 1/10


Your first point is fine. Don't watch things you don't like, that makes perfect sense. Don't rate things you don't watch, makes sense as well.

What on earth were you thinking, typing "Just because you don't like something, it doesn't necessarily mean it's so bad that it'd deserve 1/10" though.. Like that's the exact point he's making, you use the whole scale so that you don't have to give everything you personally consider bad the same rating. By restricting yourself to 6/10 as your lowest score, you're implying all the same things a 1/10 would for a normal user. It's makes everything you've rated 6/10 the lowest of the low, very literally. Worse than that, you remove any possibility for differentiating these titles from one another (ranking using an order of what you liked amongst titles you didn't like overall). It just makes everything less specific, and makes your rating system look disingenuous.

I've never gone below a 4... I couldn't see myself going to a 3 and still finishing the whole show, ya know? And i feel like i can't rate a show until i've watched the whole thing.

Well, for example, School Days for me is a 3. I usually don't give lower scores than that. Maybe I do an exception for aberrations like Kodomo no Jikan and Boku no pico. Those are a bif fat 0.
