How many 10s have you given to series? And what separates a 10 and 9 to you?

Out of 2,289 titles completed, I've given only 82 10's which is only 3.5 % so it's super rare. There isn't much difference except one has slightly less flaws than the other (that I cared about anyway) and was a little more satisfying or meaningful.

This is such a problem somehow, for some god knows bizarre reasons. To me, 10 is completely different from anything else, because it's the highest possible thus it's the best out of all. Therefore, I tend to give the least amount of it possible as I don't want to overuse such symbol of my own. Contrarily, many people often tag me with elitism. It's a wonderful thing how system allows you to rate freely from the atrocious 1 to the magnum opus 10. I utilize thoroughly, hence 9s and 10s have a drastic disparity.

To say what separates the two is rather difficult to articulate, but my perspective would be something like this - Imagine you've just watched a graceful movie and decided to give it a 10, but then you watch something even better (the themes are more profound and enhanced, or the characters are deeply delved into, or the plot has exceptional writing that tops up the former), then you would prolly have to give this new one a 10 and the former something lower. I have given one 10 in terms of anime, but if I ever watch anything that is as good or even better, then I will make up my mind once again (whether the movie that I granted a 10 really deserves its place). That said, I do not believe what I regard as best right now is really the best of all time, a 10 just represents what I think is the greatest for the time being.

9 has something that I can't overlook but overall is wonderful or memorable.

10 is like something that I can re-watch or hope that there's more like it like more season or development around it. Call it bigger world-building, emotional invoker. quas quas quas for cold snap moment.

I have given out 10 10s. A series would have t have some sort of dramatic impact to warrant a 10. Also, I would have rated Kodacha a 10, but it was really silly at times, I will consider factors like that.

A "10" for me, is an anime in which I consider my three rating criteria: Enjoyment, Story, and Characters to all be Far Above Average.

around 100 out of 3000

10 leaves a lasting impact on me with its combination of audiovisual elements and overall story

9 is almost like 10 but there are some issues that i cannot overlook

Only Madoka Magica. For me a 10 is a perfect show, Monster was a close one but I though it has some minor flaws so I ended up giving it a 9.
Personally I only give 10 to shows that i considere perfect in every aspect (storytelling,animation,music...)
