I personally can't fathom the idea of giving anime other than my absolute favorites 10s. Shouldn't 10/10 your ultimate standard?

I hand out 10/10s so easily because the average score is usually 8-9 and I'm not going to rate it below average.

I only save 10/10s for my favorites but everyone has their own way of doing things. Some people give 10/10s to things if they got just a sliver of enjoyment out of it and that's fine

I sometimes give a 10 to a show initially, then if I can't remember a lot of the details of the show after a few months or years, I usually drop the rating.

Hmm this reminds me of this one thread I made a while back. I mean sometimes people enjoy whatever they're watching 100% from start to finish.

But I only have one 10 so I can't say much :P

That is okay and all but how can so many shows be 10/10 even if we consider all these things you mentioned, is what makes my head scratch when I see guys rating > 5% shows they have watched 10/10.

That was just my opinion, and I'm sure ppl who easily scores anime 10 has there reason for doing so.

Welcome to the Internet, I guess you must be new since you don't know that everyone's free to rate whatever they want the score they want to. That's how it goes.

What's it to you, anyway? Why should it matter to you how I feel about an Anime? I'm tired of seeing this type of thread it's just a score, get over it already ._.

I think it's because that uncritical mentality of "everyone can enjoy what they want" has really taken root in recent years. People don't want to be challenged or think anymore. If they're entertained, that's enough for them, no matter how many plot holes or unlikable characters there are.

As I've been getting into rating media more I've come to realize that I definitely come across as a snob--but is that really a bad thing? I have been personally attacked for having contrarian views and not "letting people enjoy what they enjoy." People don't want to be criticized anymore because there's this general agreement about what is accepted as good and what is bad, and it becomes very easy to bow to pressure.

I guess I'm so critical because I actually want people to think about the true quality of media. But most people don't want to do that, even if they can't truly explain why they gave a series a 10.

@Vaguelyweebish

It's only a bad thing if you verbally abuse people their tastes. That's something you shouldn't do; who cares if you disagree about the cartoon? Calling them an "idiot" isn't going to help anyone do anything.

But if you don't do that...if you are able to criticize just the media INSTEAD of the ones watching it, I think that's fine.

I guess I'm so critical because I actually want people to think about the true quality of media. But most people don't want to do that, even if they can't truly explain why they gave a series a 10.


As a matter of fact, I have my fair share of challenges when I'm at work, so whenever I watch Anime, I don't want it to be a freaking puzzle to understand and comprehend. I want it to be entertaining/relaxing/fun to watch/well-animated and of overall decent quality. What's so wrong with that? That doesn't mean I'm not open to discussions about why I feel that way about this Anime and that Anime or whatever. If it fits my taste, I'll like it. If it doesn't then I won't like it, even if it's "accepted as good" or is considered a masterpiece by most.
Furthermore, being able to express how you felt whilst watching/experiencing a series/movie/etc isn't the easiest thing in the world to do for most people. Feelings are an abstract concept that's often hard to grasp and describe. Sure, there are "objective" aspects that can be given as "obvious" reasons for giving a perfect score; the Art was incredible, the animation excellent, the music amazing, etc. But that's all relative to the viewer's previous watching experience. If you were to compare the scores of someone who's watched less than a hundred shows with someone who has watched over a thousand, surely there'd be a noticeable difference between the two of them. Since newcomers do not have anything to base themselves on for their scores other than their first few viewing experiences/their first impressions.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that everyone is their own unique person that have their own reasons for liking/disliking media and nobody's rating systems are exactly the same. You may like watching media with a critical perspective, and that's absolutely fine, but I don't think saying that "most people don't want to do that (think about the true quality of media)" is justified. Maybe it's not that they don't want to, but that they don't think about doing it or that they simply don't care about flaws and such in media, even if they notice them.

I have a very specific criteria for 10's and anything that fulfills that gets it unquestionably. I've only given 10/10 to ~4% of my total anime, but I would be willing to give my entire list 10/10 if they all met the criteria required.

I don't though, while indeed I rate anime purely by enjoyment, only few anime managed to make me enjoy them so much that I give 10 for them.

I dont get critical over an anime but I am not that cheap either that I give 10 just because i like it a bit, that's so not fun :)

I try to use the different scores as equally sized enjoyment intervals, so my threshold for a 10/10 might be lower than yours. I also don't have an absolute, incomparable favorite; I have multiple favourites, that I all enjoy to a very similar degree.

There is no objective methodology of giving ratings; Yes; the scale is from 1-10 but most people don't really utilize the entire scale and that's theirs subjective way of rating which is not against the rules.

Because for me, ultimately I watch anime for entertainment. As long as I enjoy every single second of the anime and like it enough, giving it a 10 isn't such a huge deal for me.

I think many people don't really care or think about it.
There is a review moderator that rates all his anime 10 because he doesn't watch what he doesn't like . And that's fine

It's just that people think differently about their rating .
I try to rate anime so that they basically align with Mal terminology for them (5 being average) but I've seen people that were upset that i didn't give an anime that was perfectly average a 7 or 8.

After all it's average so how could it be as low as a 5 ?
They basically though that 7 was a rating that an average anime should get.

What I'm getting at is that people have different ideas about how ratings should be ^^

1.Lazy people and people that like anime about as much as they like YouTube. Those are the ones who rate the majority of what they've seen as 10/10.

a) Not criticising anyone, since I'm not that different. I am lazy when it comes to a lot of aspects in my daily life. Plus I spend more time on YouTube then on MAL.

________________________________________

2.Nothing wrong with that, but when some of them say crap like average score is at least 7 or 8/10, in stead of 5/10. I feel that their stupidity overtakes their laziness.

b) Criticising them because people like that are stunted, which I refuse to become.

You have to consider that we don't rate the same as other people. So if you see someone give an anime a 10 whereas you gave it a 5 or 6 for example, that's exactly what I explained in the first sentence. For me personally, while I do consider other factors, like animation, music and such, but enjoyment is the most important out of all of them, that's what I think, I even sometimes be lenient and rate an anime a little higher because of enjoyment. So with that, just know people rate anime differently.

Rating based on enjoyment is not a good reason to hand out too many 10s. I mean, you can always redefine the amount of enjoyment required by a 10, in order to have less of them. "High enjoyment" may correspond to 7-10, not necessarily 10.

I also disagree with those who have 1% of 10s, 2% of 9s and 70% of 7-8 or 6-7. The whole point of scoring anime should be distinguishing what you like more from what you like less. Giving the same score to almost everything doesn't tell much about your taste, be it a 10, a 6 or a 7.

Some people really don't give too much importance to differentiating their preferences and just go like "I liked it a lot = 10" and that's all, without overthinking anything.
