Only if you're a cynical person who takes everything it takes to make an animation for granted.

A 5 is meant to be average. It's the median score when you lay out every single animation in order and put a number exactly in the middle.
effort doesn't really matter if the end result is crap, maybe it's just me but I like to have some sort of standard when I rate stuff.


Judging by your list, your standard seems to be to give anime that have stellar soundtracks, gorgeous unique looking animation and good writing/performances from the actors a 3 or less.

- When one show has only one element/concept and everything else is just there
- Obnoxious characters that serves no purpose
- Horrible premise
- Uninteresting characters.

That's all it really needs for a 1/10. Honestly, if the show I rate a 1. It horrible yes. But honestly I can actually move on from them and forget them. But if it's a 0/10... Well it becomes a "so bad, it's depressing" type of feeling. And so far I only have Masou Gauken HxH on that territory.

It has to be. Without a doubt. A complete waste of time to me where I have gained absolutely nothing, not a genuine laugh, not a justifiable anger. Something that literally has no reason to exist which is exceedingly difficult to do for me. It has to either make me so angry for so many superficial reasons, or be a void of nothingness where I cannot justify it even being apart of the medium.

I have never given an anime a 1, not even berserk 2016.
But I don’t doubt an anime worthy of a 1 exists

Thankfully I've yet to come across one, and I hope I never do.

On the other hand, it's far easier to find that in manga.

Anime that I can't even take seriously whether it is bad animation, bad VA, or bad story. If I can't watch it without thinking wtf is this, then it's a 1/10

I think I probably rate them a bit high for some people's taste, but I kind of look at animation in the same way I look at video games, and people complain that they are always rated too high. Like a 6/10 is generally a bad score for a game and it usually means it's derivative, bland and not fun but not buggy, or slightly fun but full of bugs that make it frustrating to play.

For a game to get 1/10 it would have to look horrific, not be fun at all, crash every five seconds, have characters clipping through all the scenery, be full of insane bugs, and only actually be 1/100 of a completed game.

So for me a 1/10 would be the equivalent of that in an anime. The blandest story and characters ever where the dialogue was written by an actual 4 year old, audio that's so bad it hurts your ears, characters that look like scribbles and their walking animations are just a still picture sliding around or teleporting.

The worst anime I've ever seen would be about halfway between that and perfect so I can't really give anything below a 5 as I'm not even sure an anime exists that sucks that much.

A 4 would still look very amateur and have bad voice acting and writing and unpleasant audio to a degree and generally even the worst anime is above that. Maybe it exists and I just haven't seen it.

A 0/10 would just be a black screen with someone screaming and scratching their nails on a chalkboard.


I agree with your ratings. Just thinking about it logically, between whether or not an anime in a simple Yes I enjoyed it, or No I did not enjoy it - not entertaining 1,2,3,4,5 and entertaining 6,7,8,9,10, there should be no reason to watch / finish anime that you don't find entertaining or anime you'd consider 5 or less.

Anything you bother finish watching would have had to be some degree of entertaining and enjoyable for you to spend hours, usually, watching it. So 7.5 would be the middle ground imo for entertainment. Which is basically what mal scores eventually finalize around with 7.5+ being mostly popular, enjoyed shows.

It has to be appalling.

Something extraordinarily meant to disgust me, i.e (Boku no Piko).
I don't usually rate 1, I immediately drop the anime and simply don't rate it, I don't even put it on my list, I don't wanna be associated with or talk about terrible anime series. If I do keep watching an anime, that means it's going to be at least a 4 rated anime, anything I feel that deserves less than this, is immediately dropped and not added into my list.

I just don't feel like a masochist torturing myself to watch something I don't like.

Harem animes, I despise this whole genre so much, For me harem animes are complete waste of time, they are not entertaining but super annoying to me and also incest, it's just disgusting, So any anime which has harem or incest are worst to me, unfortunately most of the animes these days are harems, it's hard to find a good anime nowadays

Well, for example: I watched few episodes of Ange Vierge and Masou Gakuen HxH, and I want to give them something worse than 0/10, but I don’t want anime like these listed in my list, so I don’t add them to my list.

I watched an anime called Conception: The Animation. There's nothing good about it.

-The characters are as one-dimensional as a piece of paper.
-The "waifus" are bland and meaningless, and they are suppose to be the selling point of the show.
-That raccoon thing makes me want to shoot myself and drags the show on.
-Little to no conflict, especially the dungeons.
-The ending is awful (I saw a review of it awhile back and found out about the ending, I dropped the show after 5 episodes).

Terrible plot, like ANYTHING MAKE sense, deus ex machina everywhere, i have seen some animes that cuz genre is Magic they think they can get away WITH EVERYTHING, just because magic, right? Nooooooo, Magic doesnt mean lack of sense ... Animes nowdays need better writers ... Also stupid leads that act like stupid 5 y/o and lack all sense of intelligence ... Some animes dont even have an antagonist in order to make the lead lo, hate those, there is nothing more boring that a mc that is able to overpower everything and everybody at firts attemp

I rate as follow:
1 and 2 /10: it's mostly personal taste, but generally the product lack in every department
3 an 4 /10: the product lack almost in everything, that's mediocre
5 and 6/10: the product lack in one or more departments but has something good and it works
7 and 8/10: the product it's just good, everything works fine, it's a wellmade product
9 and 10/10: as above, the product it's just wellmade, this vote as 1-2 is just personal taste

I never gave an anime 1/10. The lowest score I gave is a 3. But if the characters have no layers, animation is barely moving,story is stupid/doesn't make sense and I don't enjoy it enought to cosnsider it a guilty pleasure. Then I would give it a 1/10.

How is Jojo's Bizarre Adventure shitty?

Its not an anime that I have any interest in watching ever. Its art style, while original and unique (always a plus) doesn't do anything for me and it's tone is too campy for my tastes. I couldn't give it a low score if I watched it though because there are so many unique ideas in there that seem to be executed well for the kind of audience its aimed at... Which isn't me.

It WAS bad wasn't it? I was deciding between giving it 4 or 5, but even so, it's definitely not a 1.

I've never seen an anime I would score as low as 1. I feel like if I ever see something so unwatchable, I'll just drop it straight away...


I've only seen clips but it has a fantastic, unique looking art direction and is fairly well animated. You would have to be blind to be able to give it a one even if they completely butcher the manga.

My 1 is the opposite of my 10, it's beyond quality but completely personal.
It must have an element extremely close to me but done in an incredibly bad way from my point of view, enough to make me rage about it years after I've seen it.

Since it's not someting I can find anyday, and I can predict which animes could probably end up that way, I've only ecountered 3 etries worth a 1.

That said, even among them Kashimashi wasn't that triggering, but I didn't see a single decent thing about it to balance the average emotional damage it caused me.

It has to be Master of Ragnarok. I believed that there is no anime that deserves to be rated with 1. Every anime no matter how bad it is, has at least one good aspect. But then I watched Master of Ragnarok and realized I was wrong. I'm just gonna quote mother's basement on this show : "if someone made a list of everything that is wrong with seasonal isekai-harem light novel adaptations and some studio found it and used it as a scenario for an anime, Master of Ragnarok would be a dollar tree knock of whatever they made". That was the only anime I ever rated 1. It was so irritating for me to even see it on my list so I ended up deleting it.

At the moment, I haven't rated anything a 1/10 but I feel like if I am using the 10/10 score (which I am) then I should also be using the 1/10 score. In actual fact, I feel like a 1/10 and a 10/10 are similar in some way. A 10/10 is a 9/10 that has some sort of personal significance for me or resonated with me in a special way. Whereas a 1/10 would be the same as a 2/10 that personally really angered, annoyed or offended me. But it'd have to be really awful for me to feel that way.

This is the way I see it as well. I would argue that a 1/10 is similar to a 10/10 in that it is a pretty emotional rating. Of course, sitting through a 1/10 show is virtually impossible because the show is in some way really offensive to you as the viewer. Hence I have only given shows that rating that I dropped nearly immediately - and actually only two:
Berserk (2016), because the production shows such an astounding incompetence and disrespect for the viewer and the source material. Also I think it was so terrible that it left a lasting negative impact on CG animation.
Itou Junji Collection, for pretty much the same reason (minus CG) with the added bonus of completely missing the mark.

edit: Though, now that I think about it... some of the shows I gave a 2/10 might easily be 1/10, but they are so unintentionally funny. Ousama Game was an utter trainwreck with no redeeming qualities, but really funny. Evil or Live is also disturbingly shit, but *that* scene from episode 2 made me laugh so hard that I just couldn't.

Now, I usually drop shows pretty fast when I don't like what I see and maybe there were more that I consider to be this bad, but I forgot about them or didn't even finish one ep. But in the end you have to remember that the scores can be a ranking for the one that does them. So it is quite easy to imagine someone giving a show a 1/10 that isn't even that bad - but maybe it was just the worst and below everything else that that person has watched. Then giving it a 2/10 would be somewhat dihonest as well, if it is just worse than other shows with that rating.

For me that would have to be diabolik lovers. It has to be something where every single aspect of it is horrible. I can’t even enjoy it in an ironic way because there is nothing that makes it enjoyable. Character design is basic, animation and art style is boring, plot is absolutely TERRIBLE, characters are some of the worst written stupid pieces of shit ever, ost sounds like elevator mysic, voice acting is average, and god knows more.

I try not to score something I haven't finished, and I won't bother finishing something that doesn't at least somewhat hold my interest so for me a 1 is something that started off well enough but just spiraled ever downward in an increasingly steeper state, until it ends in a massive shit pile.

When it comes to mediocre shows, I feel like the final episode can really make or break it. There are shows I was fully prepared to give at least a six to that I gave 1 just because that last episode was really THAT bad.(they aren't on my list yet I'm still going through from memory)

I only gave 1 to an anime I have a personal beef with and that genuinely pissed me off, even though it objectively deserves a higher score. So far there is only one anime like that.
If something truly deserved a 1/10 I wouldn't waste time watching the entirety of it lol rip to people who do it but I can't.

Don't like the characters or if it's really broing half the time or bad animation

I gave cheat magican and master of Ragnarok a 1 mainly due to animation but cheat magican was boring and I just finished it becouse I had nothing els to do ,


I also have the milf iskeai a 1 for many reasons
.
I have sums wish a 1 for not liking any of the characters at the end agian finished it becouse I was camping for the weekend and downloaded the series from Amazon prime

Happy suger life the characters where just creepy and was strange that hardly anyone in that series was normal,

I did give manga and LN adaptions a 1 for how bad the adaption is but I'm trying not to be as strict when is comes to adaptions because even though I may hate the way its been adapted i still find enjoyment from the characters

For example black Butler was a 1 but I gave it a 3 due to the characters ( black Butler season 1 is pretty much all anime original content )

I rewatched it a few years later to see if my opinion changed, 'maybe I was too harsh and got it all wrong' type of thing (hint: it didn't). It turns out I find it fun to hate on it but at least it's just that one anime lol.

That's fair. I've seen some people who give 3/4 of the anime they've seen a 3 or less. Makes me wonder why they would watch anime at all if most of it upsets them so much.

this is literally the first time I have ever heard anything positive about that adaptation lmao. Like someone already said, the CGI is so bad that it has made people have more of a negative feeling towards CGI in general. Sad since it's the #1 ranked manga on MAL, and well known for its artwork, and obviously I'm a huge fan (my avatar). I don't think any show deserves a 1, but as much as I love Berserk I just couldn't take it, too much for me. I dont understand why such a great manga cant get an even barely decent adaptation nowadays (90's one got me into it), even the brothel reviewers which is almost hentai seems to have gotten a decent budget so it being not suitable for prime time tv shouldn't be the issue, I just dont get it.

Probably something like "Bokusatsu Denshi Dokuro-Chan". Worst anime I've seen, I consider it the "Uncle Grandpa" of anime, just a bunch of random and toilet humor that tries way too hard to be funny. Only thing I liked about it was this: https://youtu.be/7boYC1XCagU
