Harsh compared to MAL because my average is significantly lower than MAL's average (and much closer to what the average should, statistically, be).

I'm following the equivalent rating of MAL's specific score (i.e. 7 - Good; 8 - Very Good, etc.), so I'm most likely a fair scorer.

Harsh. I prefer that way to be more honest with my feelings.

Generous, I used to be harsh but then I realized I was viewing art through the wrong lens.

It's a lot, and I mean A LOT, harder to find the good in something than it is to find the flaws. It's also better for the entire world if you train finding the good in something.

I am a generous one. Didn't gave any anime 1/10 or even 2/10 rating as of now.

I generously give a lot of 8 but I think it's mostly because I'm watching anime that I know I'll like.

Definitely skew towards generous, but I just go with my enjoyment level.

Generous scorer. Most of my scores are around 8 and 7, even for the most generic isekais.

I actually feel a bit conflicted about this, sometimes I feel too generous and sometimes I feel too harsh. I'd say I'm about average overall, (I think 5-6 is my usual score) but I tend to be very generous to sentimental pieces and harsher on Shonen and popular works.

I'm really generous with scoring, any anime I've finished watched and genuinely enjoyed enough to talk about the next day automatically gets an 8. Stuff I have watched and liked, but moved on from gets a 7. Anything below that I've already dropped except for maybe a few titles I've completed due to peer pressure.

I rate purely out of personal enjoyment.

I end up being pretty generous seeing as anything I'd give a 6 or lower I'd normally just not finish, and I don't rate anime I don't finish unless I actually decide to finally update my dropped list.

According to my boyfriend I'm a nonsensical critic but I think I'm kinda harsh if anything- I just live on the two extremes I either really like something or I really didn't like it
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!"

Generous. I always keep in mind that I am watching "cartoons" and that lowers my expectations. If I treated them the same way as movies on imdb my average score would drop by one or two in an instant.

I'm somewhere in the middle. I can be both generous and harsh, based on the show.

I would call myself generous. I review shows I enjoyed and stay away from shows I don't like, and I avoid criticism as much as I can.

Personal enjoyment is not an objective way to rate media. It tells people nothing. "I that it was a 10 cuz it's kewl an I like it!" means FUCK ALL if I'm trying to figure out whether to watch it or not. I know most people rate things this way. It would be great if they'd stop. Especially when 95% of what most viewers watch in simulcast will be forgotten about a few weeks after it ends.

I rate Anime based on my personal enjoyment of a show and over time I have become pretty good at judging beforehand whether or not I will enjoy a show so my ratings tend to be pretty high. I try to preserve 10/10 for shows that I enjoyed particulary much though. I also think that I dont need an extremely high quality show to enjoy it so that also tends to increase my scoring

If it's a standalone show, it'll depend on my enjoyment.

If it's a sequel, it'll depend on how much or how little I enjoyed the 1st season.

So for Vanitas, who's 1st season I liked, I'll try to be generous, even if the 2nd season is more or less inferior.

For Dr. Stone, which I didn't like, I'll probably be harshe, even if the direction of the series is changed in the 2nd season.

My Rating System is harsh because I find it eccentric to lump vastly superior Anime with inferior Anime 

It even enables you to delineate your favourites in a better way

I'm fairly generous, and have a pretty wide range of multiple different standards by which an anime can be rated 10. Most of the stuff I rate is >5.

I can be pretty harsh to some fairly popular shows, though.

Harsh, I don't shy away from giving a 1 to anything that pisses me off, I very rarely give anything a 9 or a 10 on the other hand.

I think I tend to be kinda harsh sometimes. It happens that a small factor can really affect my rating or that I get bored way too quick by an anime, so I might give it a really low score

i'm pretty generous, but  there are just times that you have to be pretty harsh. 
Especially considering the amount of seasonal trash we get.

Given that, according to "anime-plus" my average is only 0,07 lower than the average of the entirety of MAL, I'd say I am an average scorer. 

However quite a lot of my shows (especially the ones scored 6-9) need a bit of a re-scoring because a not insignificant number of them are rated on memories alone and the ratings are therefore inflated. 
Case in point: The Detective Conan movies, they were all scored 7-9 until recently but when I re-watched the 17th movie, I was baffled by how stupid it is and dropped the score to what it should be.

I feel like everyone on MAL is a bit too generous, so much so that most of the time they forget that there's a 1 to 10 range of scores they can use to rate an anime. Most people don't even use anything below a 4 to rate shows, and because of that, when I see an anime that has an average rating of below 7, I know that it's most probably a shitty show, and if it's below or near 5, then it's probably unwatchable—which should not be the case.

I am very very generous. If I think an anime is slightly good, I'll give it a 2. Sadly there aren't many.

I used to be very generous with my scores, typically giving out 10's and 9's quite regularly. Nowadays though I'm a lot less forgiving since I take more time to think about and analyze what I consume (and I've grown more and developed a better understanding of fictional works). I have 14 10's and my mean score is at a 6.05 right now, both should go down in my next list overhaul... whenever that is.

I don't like being a harsh critic so I'd say generous.

Tho I regret giving CSM a 9, it should be a 8 max....

Same here as long it's reasonable, although I used to be a generous when scoring.

I'm very harsh compared to most of mal, when the general score rarely goes lower than 6. hello? the lower half of the scoring system exists. you're not hurting anyone's feelings by using the scale properly.

I would probably be in between but only based on the anime and if something is actually completely wrong with it. For example: Food Wars. Good food, Weird representation of it. I say that because if your eating good food, i dont think your clothes should RIP OFF YOUR BODY... thats just me tho.
