| Sometimes i find myself looking at my watched list and browsing down the list. Looking at my ratings. I change some of the ratings i gave recently. I believe with the addition of every new anime your taste changes and you rate things differently. So i dont have hard time changing my ratings of the animes that i watched in the past 12 months or so. Things start to get difficult as i contemplate on what to do with the animes i watched 4-5 years ago. These are the first animes that i watched. Few have solid grounds because they changed me and my taste in anime so they deserve really high points even if they are not that good. But some of them, even if i remember i enjoyed the series, i find myself not remembering the plot and the bits that i remember are in all honesty is just an average anime. But they have high rating because its one of the firsts animes that i watched. Yes coming to the problem, i know this is not the most important issue but i want to know what people think. Do you change your rating to these really old animes because in all honesty they are not that good or because they had that kind of importance to you back then you give them the honor to stay high in the ranking on your watched list? |
| The answer to this is one big YES. One should take his time to consider if the scoring pattern used in the past is still appropriate. |
  “The most shameless thing in the world is political power that can be inherited regardless of ability or talent!” |
| I often re-rate series. Generally if I liked an anime I will rate it higher than I normally would due to it being fresh in my mind. |
 |
| Yes, I also did so twice. My taste has changed a lot over the years. |
 |
| If I look back at some of the stuff I watched back then, a good 7 years ago (which was mainly ecchi stuff) Yes for sure! - I know for certain that stuff wouldnt have been as highly rated as I did then, especially since now I know more about the tropes, how bad they were compared to stuff I've seen later on etc. On the other hand, it's what you thought the score should be at that time, so maybe re-rate it if you rewatch it again, that seems fair. |
 |
| I like to, I tend to compare my 10s, 9s, 8s, etc... so I end up changing some anime sometime if I feel I don't think they are as good as the other anime that are scored the same. Tends to happen more with series' that I've watched awhile ago since the more anime I put into the scores the more I realize what I actually think a certain rating is. |
| I think you can reanalyze whether your memory of it is deserving of the score you gave, and maybe you can skim through a few parts to help make sure you're making the right choice, but I would make sure to refrain from rewatching the whole series again. In theory that's what you'd want to do but I think that's definitely a bad choice as the vast majority of shows are significantly less enjoyable the second time unfairly lowering a show's score (especially a show with big surprise twists or a show you rated a 10 which is a score that generally hinges on the magic you felt watching that show for the first time). It would unfairly lower a show'you watch them so it would unfairly lower the show's score. So whilst I do once a year look through my list recalibrating the scores a bit, I refrain from rewatching in full any of the shows that I do this for. |
| Re-rated my list once because I was harsh on my scoring. I'm considering doing a overhaul again on how my feelings about the series has held up over time as I based now mostly on enjoyment and consistency. |
 |
| I go through my completed list multiple times a year and check if the shows still deserve the rating I gave them back when I watched those anime. And I find out, that they do indeed. Maybe my "taste" does not change at all, idk. I re-rated only two anime over several years. |
| Unless I rewatch it I'm not going to remember something I watched 10 years ago well enough to reliably re-score it. I trust my taste. |
 |
| The basic rule of scoring is that when you give two series the same score, you're saying they're in the same tier. If you consistently find that you don't consider old 7s, for example, to actually be in the same tier of new 7s, then your tastes have changed and you should readjust. |
| You can re-rate things, but you don't have to. After all, people who review a product for their job also don't change their previous reviews. I understand reviews, scores and every writing in general as a snapshot of the mindset at the specific time. |
| Sure, I usually scroll through my list at least once per year to adjust my ratings. My opinions on shows I watched a long time ago often change over time as I watch more anime. I may decide I didn't give something enough credit or vice versa. |
 |
| I don't. Though sometimes I do look back and wonder what I was smoking when I rated some shows. |
 |
| Not unless I re watch em and the latest watch makes me feel otherwise. otherwise aint nobody got time for that |
| I randomly skim my list and might assign new numbers I feel are more accurate to my current taste. I can't remember everything, but I can remember certain things that wouldn't be acceptable to me now or a big turn off, or even sometimes things of merit I didn't properly get before that might come to mind. These changes are minimal for the most part. It's just a lot of school melodrama that tends to go down. |
 I can see you |
| YES! For me it's because I watched a lot of them at a different age, and at a different stage of life, my perspectives, thoughts opinions and understanding were all different... so yes if you rewatch a series you watched years ago you can change the score and that's exactly what I did. |

| i did that a month ago like i see a lot of very good 8/10 scores on my list like to me its losing its meaning already as my list grows so im being a little more critical now and following the scoring descriptions here on MAL |

 It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate". — Bertrand Russell |
| Definitely. Everyone should keep their scores up to date. The more anime you watch, the more your taste comes into its own. With experience comes development. The same applies with any other media like music, art, cinema, or literature. Age is another defining factor that affects your thinking. Change is only natural with more experience and age. Generally, anyway. |

| I change mine from time to time, if I can remember enough of it to score it. If I loved something in the moment and rated it high, I should still love it years from now if it's truly good enough to remain at that rating. I don't care if nostalgia is doing all the work, as long as I still love it. |
