| If you think hard enough, you can always find a flaw or a possible improvement. So purely objectively speaking, a 10/10 is impossible. I mostly rate pure on my enjoyment, though more objective aspects can affect that, like good music that fits the mood, or shitty, dry dialogue. Some people like to release all kinds of calculations; I rate quite loosely. Ratings: 2-4: Bad or unenjoyable shows, one a little worse than the other. 1: My absolute bottom-pile of trash. They're basically a 2 but with zero redeeming factors or just a personal hatred towards them lol. 5: Average, mediocre or simply forgettable (because usually it's the extremes one remembers) 6: The above average but nothing great 7: The okay-section 8: Good anime. 8+ rated anime would be the ones I'd recommend to others. 9: Great anime, the sub-top as it were 10: My personal favourites, but definitely not flawless. They're just so good/enjoyable that it's flaws can be overlooked. |

| From my profile, "Observations on how I rate things": If an entry gives me exactly what I expect of it and I feel adequately entertained then I tend to give it a default 7. Entries that entertain me beyond what I expected will climb to an 8, and if done so consistently for a long time reach 9. 10 is reserved for series that I consider flawless. Any series that fails to entertain me to the degree I expect will fall below a 7. The longer they disappoint me and how badly they do so determines how low the score drops. |

| 10 - I really like it a lot 9 and lower - I watched it forever ago |

shazzyy said: objectivity is a mere falsehood created by critics to justify their opinions. true objectivity in critical works is simply unattainable which is why we've tried the best as we can to define it. many authors have tried to quantify good character writing and bad character writing but its simply a theory based on what seems to have worked and been most successful. if there was truly objectivity in art then everyone would love the same anime and hate the same anime but that isn't what happens. we all have our own idea of objectively good stuff and therefore a 10/10 is 100% possible too. if your objectivity values certain things and other things are not as important then yes, in their definition, it is a 10/10. you can't say a 10/10 cannot exist as flaws in art really don't exist themselves, we just make them exist through our own percieved objectivity. your idea of a flaw could be someone else's idea of a strength. as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is extremely well put. I want to tattoo it on my face so everyone I talk to irl will have to read it. |

| The way that MAL has the 1-10 system set up is pretty good imo. |

| I rate mostly on enjoyment, but may factor in originality if I find something truly unique that I've always been searching for lets say. But if I really didn't like the story I tend to rate objectively. Also I find mood might play into it, having a bad/good day and I can't stand it and then go back to it another time and its the best thing I've ever seen, or watchable at least, and that can influence/change my score. |

| I tend to rate things lower since I'm a pessimist lmao 😂 (same with Asian dramas on Mydramalist) 1-2 hate it 3-5 meh/boring 6 fine 7 good 8-9 love it I don't rate 10s... |

| I rate anime based on: Story/10, Visuals/10, Audio/10, Characters/10, Enjoyment/10, and then take the mean score. Though, for me, this takes up a lot of time to think things through, like writing a review in my head. So then I try using Enjoyment/10 only and take a score based on that, though, it can be biased since it doesn't take everything into account. However, it's faster and simple. |
| I look at some of the more objective factors (plotholes) and mix that with my subjective opinion, wich consits of stuff like artistic value, characters,story and thematic development. I usually only rate/finish shows i enjoy at least a bit of, it may not be much but even if its just "i dont care but what comes next". Enjoyment is a factor that is never really pin pointable, you can't explain enjoyment. For me its just enjoyment is not equal to quality of the show, wich should be obvious, but its a factor that elevates a mediocre show to a 6 or maybe 7 and something that downgrades a artistically good to a mediocre or worse score. It does not play a huge role in the really high or low tier tho, because there i enjoy them mostly on a equal level, it just comes down to quality there. I mostly dont think to much about a score, because its just a stupid number attached to art. |

| Ways to rate anime? I rate animes based on my enjoyment. |
 |
| I rate anime solely on my personal enjoyment. If the story is bad I'll drop it. Visuals and audio can't compensate for a bad/mediocre/ boring story (just look at the certain studio which I'm not gonna name). Good characters can definitely boost the rating for me. |
| A rate them on how well they achieve what they set out to achieve and unlike most people who like to give arbitrary definitions for scores and make up arbitrary conditions an anime have to meet to be rewarded with a score I give a rating relative to the other stuff I've seen. So a rating I give on it's own means nothing, only in context of my other ratings while for most, they want them to be absolute. |
  |
| I ask myself how much I enjoyed or otherwise appreciated a series, with the following possible responses: * I hated it * I disliked it * I felt meh about it * I enjoyed or otherwise appreciated it * I enjoyed or otherwise appreciated it very much Then I map these to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, respectively. I use the numbers in between to say "I feel this way about it, but I feel like there was something else that makes me feel a little more positive/negative about the overall work". |

I agree,because i do subconsciously take into account the scores i´ve give to other anime when it´s time to score a particular show. |

| I don't think about it that much. The number just comes to me which is why my ratings are garbage. |

| Easy: I click on the button that says score and then select the appropriate vote in the dropdown menu. |
| bruh |
| My scores are typically based on how much I enjoyed the show, and how I feel about it critically. Though sometimes my scores are 100% based on my personal enjoyment. |
| ==Luminouslyiii== "The morning no longer comes." |
| It's a mix between the show's overall quality, how much it provided what it promised, how good the topics were handled, and my personal enjoyment. And like other people above, I also rate shows based on the score I gave to others. |
 |
| Based on how likely I am to want to re-watch it, basically. 7 and up are definitely rewatchable. Tens, I might never get tired of. Sixes, only rewatch if I am desperate. Fives were barely worth watching once. 4 and below are crap I wish I hadn't wasted time on. |
 |
| I rate my anime purely based on my enjoyment, not any objective review or "is this objectively good" I don't use MAL's rating and go off of my own: 10: Enjoyed every step of the way, my favorite shows that i could rewatch anytime, no problem, my favorite shows. 9: Great shows, these have minor flaw overshadowed by the great qualities. 8: Very good shows, these have more apparent flaws in their structure but hold up their own in the world building or character building. overall enjoyable. 7: Good shows, somewhat enjoyable watches, but inconsistencies may be apparent and signs of "meh" character and/or world building are apparent 6: okay shows, I kind of sit through these, they don't bring anything new to the table and aren't particularly outstanding. these shows show pretty big cracks in the story and world building 5: not very good shows, i rarely end up finishing them, these are pretty boring and don't have anything good to offer 4: bad shows, typical tropes and bad characters and world building 3 & Below: very bad shows, their score depend on how bad they are (1 being deplorable and 3 being very bad) |
 |
| I use a 0-10 scale, though MAL won't let me actually give something a 0 without leaving it blank so I have to use 1 for those too. |
     |
| Mainly by how much I’ve enjoyed it over all. However, I do try to be fair and not lowly rate an anime that I wasn’t too obsessed with (but liked anyway) and be more objective. |
When it comes to scoring anime on MAL, I tend to look at a few key points:
I believe that these are a few main points that most scores should be solely based upon. For example, a show like "The Dangerous Life of Saiki K." has amazing voice acting (both sub and dub), impressive character design, and is pretty comedic with very few serious plot points. Overall, I gave it a 9 out of 10. Wasn't good enough to get a perfect score. For JJBA (JoJo's Bizarre Adventures), the show is extremely serious with many hilarious scenes sprinkled across each season, has many unique character designs and has a strong plot. But, the English Dub (Part 3-5) for JJBA lacked emotion and didn't fit with each character and characters are usually forgotten about for multiple episodes due to Araki's lack of interest in his characters. Overall, I gave Part 1 and 2 an 8 out of 10, Part 3 a 9 out of 10, and Part 4 an 8 out of 10 as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I look for a ton of character and plot development in an anime series, whether it's a mini-series or an anime with 100+ episodes. ~Grim |
