| honestly i was kinda surprised to see that my score was below a 7.0(even only by one point) i feel like i maybe went a little too critical on some shows or something, is a 6.9 to low? |

| 6.9. Heh. I'm immature. :( It's a close to average score. A 6 on here is. "Fine" so I guess so. There's some people who's mean scores are lower. Rate anime on how you want it to be. If a lot of it is bad, don't rate it up just to improve your mean score. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |
| Well as long as its not 5 or below its not that bad, but yes it is a bit harsh. Mine is 7.7. |

Mine is 7.7. also my score would be ALOT lower if i actually used the 1 and 2's rating but i always felt like no show is that bad, i never go lower than 3, just a little pet peeve of mine |

They see like a shitload of anime and give 2/3 of it a rating of 4-1. Honestly, it's obvious that you don't enjoy anime, so why bother watching so much of it? Yeah the quote thing didn't work. Thanks iPod. |
| Dont touch me I'm in despair. |
| Sounds harsh right off the bat, but really it's not when you think about it. My mean score is a 7.0 and sometimes I consider my ratings a tiny bit generous. I think a 5.5 or below is too harsh but than anything above... let's say a 7.5 (or 8.0) is too generous, in my opinion at least. If you give everything a high rating than it takes away from the titles that really deserve being called very good, great, and/or masterpieces. |

| Having a mean score of 6-7 means you actually take the time to see what is actually good, and what is not in my opinion. A true rater doesn't just throw out 10s like no tomorrow, so to answer your question, no your mean score is fairly good. (mine is 6.6 if I recall) |
 |
| Mines 5.7, but the main reason I use lower ratings is to spread my list out more. |
| Honestly it depends on if you're scoring by the MAL system Average, Fine, Good etc. or if you view each number as being a percentile rank (8 = anything above or equal to 75% to under 85%, 9 = equal to 85% and under 95% etc). I used to do this but I decided that I'm slowly going to switch to the MAL system so I can have a more accurate score compared to other people on the forums. My current score 7.7 equals a 77% average on my list which is a C+ so all the anime I've watched averages to around okay. |

| it's fine as long as you rate things the way you want to. the mean score for my completed list is 6.8, if that makes you feel any better. my score deviation is -1.10, so yeah I guess it is a little low. but it all goes back to you rating things the way you want to. |

| My mean score is 7.4 as I tend to be quite generous with my ratings. MAL's rating system actually seems pretty close to mine albeit with some minor differences here and there. To me it just seems right; alot of the anime I've watched hang out in the 7~6 range since I like quite a bit of what I see. Giving School Rumble a decent score doesn't detract from the masterpiece that is LOGH. Similarly, I haven't yet given an anime a score lower than 3. I can't say if I haven't seen anything that bad yet, but my heart sinks if I have to rate something that low. A 6.9 average is not particularly harsh as long as you have a varied assortment of 10s, 9s, 8s that struck a cord with you. You can post another thread once you hit below 5.0 though, since that would be considered low! |

I used to throw out 10s to Animes I thought were AMAZIIINNGG but then I look at what MAL considers a 10. (a masterpiece?) I thought _____ Anime was really REALLY good so I gave it a 10 but then I think about it for a second. Is it really a masterpiece? I feel a masterpiece isn't something you come by everyday. A masterpiece isn't just something you thought was amazing, it is something that was done picture perfect. (and have a lot of meaning) For an example: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - It built up so many different relations and connections between certain characters and then at the end it made you really think about it. (I can't say much more or I would spoil it) That is an Anime I would call a "masterpiece" but I didn't give it a 10. I don't hate on people who do give it a 10 though because I see why they would rate it that. Overall I just gave that _____ Anime I thought was a 10 a 9 because it just wasn't THAT deep. EDIT: Also I am not saying you cannot give out several 10s but giving easy ratings isn't good either. Not every Anime is good, and not every Anime is bad. You will always come by good and bad ones so your ratings cannot always be so high. That is why when I see people with 8-9 mean scores it baffles me. You watched almost 100 Animes and I can see you came by several you hated, and loved so having a 6.9 mean score seems about right for you! :) |

| Well I have a mean score of 7.2, and I think I'm a pretty fair for my ratings. I usually don't give a score lower then 5, because seriously I don't see how you can give a show lower then that after finishing it. |
 |
| 6.9 is good. Mine is that as well. It means that you enjoy most things you watch. |
| No. Mine is 7.0 and I'm all too aware I overrate most stuff. |
| Not a clue where I'd check my score ratio. Someone, enlighten me. |

llamaben said: Mines 5.7, but the main reason I use lower ratings is to spread my list out more. Which means your goal is to average a 5 and have every score used evenly. A goal that is very independent of anime but hey it's just MAL fuck up the average for whatever reason you like. |
 |
| I try to keep my mean rating as close to 5 as possible, but I also treat my list as 'all the anime ever released,' in a way. That is, I try to rate all of my series compared to other stuff that I've watched, where the 4 to 6 lump is 'average.' We're all less inclined to watch (and finish) bad series, though, so it's not uncommon for most averages to be rather high. Personally though, I adjust scores from time to time. Sometimes the 'average' shifts. |
| Mine is 8.3, I think i might be giving the anime too good of a rating,but fuck what can i say i love a lot of anime. |
suterujesu said: 6.9 is totally fine IMO. 5 or less might be weird because... well I just don't think it's a good use of your time to finish enough bad anime to cause such an average haha. So true, like why continue watching Anime if you don't even like it that much!? I am always in shock when I see people with 4-5 mean scores. (8-9 as well but hey, if you love Anime that much it is your choice!) :D |

| rated anime: 404; mean score: 6.02 (1.14 lower than global average) meh. |
 |
| Mine is 5.21 to anime and 5.55 to manga. 5/10 is average rating so 6.9 is nowhere near too harsh. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| Mine's 6.1 and I don't consider that harsh, so I'd hardly say it for a 6.9 It really depends on how you feel about the anime you've watched. If the majority of them are bad in your opinion, a score closer to or below 5 are expected. Then again, if the majority of the anime you've watched were bad, I'd have to wonder why you're still watching anime... |

Anime_Name said: Does a 4-5 mean score mean that person hates anime? Not necessarily. I've seen people who tend to rate really low and still enjoy it. It's all about how you interpret the numbers for yourself. Some people consider a rating of 7 bad, others only at 4 or below. In general I think it's better to be a little more critical instead of giving out high scores for everything. Also it isn't a matter of continuing to watch a "bad" anime, I don't know why this is getting assumed. Even if they drop a series it still gets counted towards their mean if they scored it. I agree. The mean score is often lower because of the dropped series. |

How I see it is that those people don't love anime enough to see quality differences and what exactly makes a good anime. No, not loving, nowhere near that.

| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| No, my mean score is 6.1 for my completed list. I rated what I thought they deserved for my enjoyment, so I don't see them as harsh, not at all. |
| I'm sitting on a 5.9 average, so of course I'm gonna go with 'no'. ;) I'd say that a 6.9 is very generous. People don't seem to treat a bad anime how it deserves. </3 |
| 5.6 here. Of course, I make a point of actually trying to use the scoring system properly, unlike a lot of users, which means 5 is the average. So 5.6 is nowhere too harsh, and certainly not 6.9. After all, if you have a penchant for being critical, the more you watch, the more average your score would become. Of course, it would be different if I only watched the series I thought seemed really good, since my gut feeling is usually correct, but as it is, I frequently watch generic looking series just for cheap entertainment. |
| I think mine is 7.1 but I've never thought I'm too generous with my scores. |
 |
| Well it all depends on how much you have watched so far. It's kind of obvious, that if you've watched 7 shows, it is entirely possible to have a mean score of 10. Only if you have watched all the masterpieces. But the more you watch, the more shit you will watch and that is not necessarily a bad thing. You will never value true beauty, if you haven't seen the shitty ones. There is a lot of crap out there and that's fine, not everything can be good, in fact, it's the other way around. The real good stuff is scarce. I would think your average score only becomes kind of important as a measurement, if you're one of those who have gone beyond 1000 anime watched. Anything before that is useless, because your knowledge is only a fraction of the overall available shows. |
| No, your list is fine - it all depends on what you're watching. ;) Mine is an 8, yet to be fair, I stick to my interests and watch stuff that appear really good, so I'm not dissapointed too often. I have watched a lot of mediocre stuff - when it becomes tedious, I'll drop before it gets worst (if it gets better, my loss). 5/6 = mediocre; this is actually a fair score and statement and is what I'd rate most stuff on the TV where I live. |

| Opinion is subjective so everyone's average will be different based on how they compare each anime. At the moment mine is rather high but I only choose anime I believe have potential ( Or im easy to satisfy) |
