I rate a series by taking the entire series into perspective. If the final episode/s is/are able to change my opinion, then I’ll change my score. While I usually have a tendency to like series’ more as I go on, a few have I’ve rated lower because the last episode/s were messed up (or “went off the rails” as I like to say). Literally, the last frame can make a difference.

So, yes, to answer the original post, if I am satisfied with the ending, despite some flaws throughout the course of the show, I would probably up the rating by 1.

For a lot of people, the ending isn't even the icing on top. It is the entire cake. If it ends bad, the entire meal is ruined. That's not me though. I like a full package :). For example:
MDZS's animation is BEAUTIFUL but the story is kind of convoluted and hard to follow at times. (That's not criticism)
I MIGHT rate it maybe, one point higher then before if the last episode of the show was perfect. BUT it will not change the core of my opinion.

Yes, but I'll just bump up the score by 1 and that's all because if I rate it more it'll mean that I really liked it and it's re-watchable. Even though most of the time I rarely get emotional towards an ending in an anime.

I wouldn't care at all about the last episode if the whole anime is bad. Does someone really need to watch more than 10 episodes (normally) so they can see only 1 episode that is good?, nah, the same way watching 10 shitty episodes and then 1 good won't change my score.

I do think I’d give to it a better score, but not much higher, around 1 or 2 points above.

That would probably bump it from a 5 to maybe a low 7 at best. If it's the second half not the last episode then maybe an 8.

Not really, I just score based of the overall enjoyment I had while watching the show, of course a really good last episode would bring the score up but I can't imagine giving it anything more than a 6 if the rest was complete garbage

Not even the last episode can make me boost my score unless it's emotionally moving then a 6 is pretty much guaranteed.

If the last episode is REALLY good, I'd maybe score the anime a 6 instead of a 5 for example

But if it's a really bad anime, a nice ending won't save it



I haven't ever watched or seen an average/bad anime with a great ending though
A bad anime either starts bad or goes downhill at a certain point, but they don't go uphill suddenly

On one hand, if the anime was average or average-good, and I was already hesitating on a score range, then yea, it happened I increase the score by 1-2 points. Same things happen with very bad endings. Feeling disappointment is even worse in this case, and I have already broken scores down 3-4 points on the rage of the moment before correcting to 1-3 down. It's very variable.

On the other hand, if the show was already crap, I hardly see how the last episode would change anything since it's more than likely I have already dropped the series halfway through it.
