Does an anime has to be a perfect 10 for it to be your favorite?

I don't think that a silent voice was a perfect movie. I noticed a few(very few tbh) flaws but it's still my favorite anime nonetheless. Do you have some similar thought about some show? Which show?

I dunno man, if u gave other anime 10s, and say A Silent Voice, which u gave a 9, is ur fav anime, I'd be a bit confused. But that's all up to you.

Nah. It can be a 7 and still consider it one of my favorites.

Nah not really. My favorite feel-good anime is K-On, but I still thought that it wasn't the most perfect show. Your favorite shows can be your favorite for different reasons. For example again: One of my K-On because it's cute and jolly and I had a lot of fun watching it, but one of my favorites is also Ghost In The Shell for it's philosophical aspects and god-tier writing.

I have given just 3 anime in my favorites a 10 - H X H ( number 1 in favorites ), AOT First season ( number 5 in favorites ) and Vinland Saga ( number 8 in favorites ) so no , it is not necessary for me

Not really. Most of my favorites exist within the 8-10 range. I'm a little conservative about giving 10s.

Of course not.
Just cause there is a 10/10 anime that i've watched, I may have had more enjoyment or had been more attached to the characters for an anime I rated 8/10. Everyone has their own preferences.

not really, since (this is me mostly) i considered a lot of aspects in rating certain animes, the graphic, the plot, the voice and even the aesthetic of the anime. So, the rating is what i think the anime generally. There are few animes that lack in certain aspect in rating but turns out to be my favorite because of the plots.

I have only 1 show at 10 so that would make my favourites list pretty lonely lmao.
On another note though, why is your favourite anime KnK at 9 while there are 4 other anime you've placed at 10. You like KnK the most among all the anime in your list right? Because that's what 'favourite anime' generally means. Isn't your list supposed to indicate what you like more and what you like less? So why do you think there's a discrepancy there unless you're trying to act on your sense of 'objectivity' and flaws, over your own subjective taste.

You mean to say you're willing to rate an anime that you enjoyed more than a "10/10 anime" an 8? How does that make sense, pray tell?

not really, i also give 10/10 to some anime that are not even in my top 10 favorite, but some of my favorite anime are not 10/10, like Grand Blue, ReZero, The Promised Neverland, all Haikyuu seasons, Koe no Katachi, HxH and Redline, they are some of my favorites, but they are not quite a 10/10.

I didn't give a 10 to any of my favourites (in this site), so no.

I think everyone just notices their favourites while watching them, it's something you feel rather than something you think about, well atleast that's my case.

No, All my favorites are 10 and all my 10s are favorites, I rate shows with a mix of personal enjoyment and critical quality or whatever, So if I like a show so much that it's a favorite then it's subjectivity aspect is so high it transcends everything and reaches a 10.

I would include some anime with 9s too. The emotional part is very important in distinguishing the 10 and 9. It's also possible that a favorite of mine has the nostalgic factor that would make me biased in rating it. Example; Oban Star-Racers. Objectively speaking, it's a solid 9. It's great but as far as masterpiece goes, Oban didn't quite reach it. The thing is, I've seen Oban quite young and I feel a deep connection with it. Reason why I consider it one of the best.

Obviously all this is taken into consideration I rate in the first place.

If you go by subjective ratings, rating your favorites 10/10 makes sense. But in my case, my favorites can range between 7-10. It's not a matter of which is best, but which I liked the most despite it's flaws. After all, it would be bold to assume that my favorite animes are the best thing ever, where it can't be as good for others. There's that, and that I acknowledge it has flaws.

No, actually, 3 out of 5 of my favorites are 9/10, and while 3 out of 5 of my 10/10 are not my favorites.

my favorite anime knk is on 9 because 9 means 'great' and a 10 doesn't mean 'favorite', it means 'masterpiece'. I don't think that knk is a masterpiece. I believe that it has scope for improvement. But I still liked it enough for it to be my favorite . Jack Nicholson is not my favorite actor but I can't deny that he is a 10 on 10 actor. Leo DiCaprio is my favorite actor but I don't think that he is a '10 on 10' actor, but I like him for his flaws. And I don't think that there is anything wrong I accepting that a flawed show is my favorite.

Unfortunately I haven’t found enough shows worthy of a 10 to fill my faves with 10s only. I don’t even have enough 9s lol there are at least two 8a in my top 20 fave anime listed on MAL.

Favourite is about how much you enjoyed it while your score doesn't have to be. You could theoretically have a 6 in your favourites and have a 10 that isn't in your favourites. Currently my lowest scored favourite is a 9, but I also have had some 8s in my top 10 in the past.

Obviously not, you can have your favorite with a score other than 10. MegaloBox, Hibike, and Bunny Girl are a few of my favorites but I didn't put it on 10.

I mean... yes? People act like there's some distinction between a 'personal favourite' and a '10/10' when they mean the same thing. I could point out a load of flaws in my personal favourites, but I'm still giving them all a 10/10.

Well it's not like I rate anime solely on the enjoyment, quality of animation, storytelling and execution also matter but what goes into my favourites is how much I enjoyed watching it, for eg- Vinland Saga is perfect 10/10 anime and it is hard to deny this fact, everything related to it like op, animation and the direction is absolutely amazing despite that its not in my favourite becoz i can't deny the fact that I got bored in the middle of the season, this is also the case for Steins Gate.

I don't think it has to be a 10
Some of my picks for my top 10 favorites are anime I didn't rate with a 10

I think it's fine for your favorites to be picks that aren't perfect, but ones that are the most special to you

If youre trying to be completely objective when you score anime, then your favorite show definitely doesnt have to be a perfect 10.

There are lot of shows that Ive rated a 7 that I may personally enjoy more than shows that I think are just objectively better.

It's a "guilty pleasure" kind of thing with favorites.

- 10 is not for "perfect" anime, it's for "masterpieces".
- There is no perfect anime.
- Most, if not all, anime I rated 7 or above are my favorite anime.

Not at all. If a story still influences me even after I've finished it, I know it is a favorite. After looking at my list, most are 9 or higher.

No because I hardly give animes 10/10 if I ever have.
What warrants a 10/10 for me is everything must be of high quality.

Great soundtrack.
Decent animation.
Amazing art style.
Well written story, plot and characters.
Likeable characters.

A favorite anime doesn't necessarily have to be 10.From my perspective I usually add animes to my favorites based on my enjoyment.

Nope.
First of all, my opinion changes over time. While as a little kid I could find some trash really charming, which right now wouldn't be enjoyable for me.

Alongside that, I can end up enjoying some very bad animes, depending on the context itself, thus making me rate stuff higher than it deserves, including the ranking of 10.

No. Not only are there too few anime I'd rate as a 10/10, but what someone considers their favourite doesn't necessarily require it to be what they consider to be the best.

One Piece is my favourite anime but I haven't given it a 10. It has it's imperfections but my overall love of the show is more important to me then a score.

I also gave Banana Fish a 9 when I wanted to give it a 10 for minor issues with the art style. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of it.
