| Being someone who has most of my anime rated around the 7-9 range, I wish I could space them out more, but I also don't want to drop them lower than what I feel like they deserve. So my question is do you guys like the current system, or do you wish there was more scoring methods, such as a .5 method. That way you could score something a 8.5 for example if it's better than all the other 8's you have, but isn't 9 level. Hope this is a proper category to discuss this in... |
| No. I can't think of a better way to rate anything, than a scale from 1-10 If you then go and add the MaL Score Description: 10 -Masterpiece 9 -Great 8 -Very Good 7 -Good for your problem, I personally, find that this kinda perfectly get's rid of any kind of slight uncertainty and makes things clear , when rating Show's that could either be a 7 or an 8, for example. Just ask yourself. Was it good? Or is it very good? Was is great? Or was it a Masterpiece, the perfect Show, for you. |

| Just give them a lower score. That's how you use MAL's full rating scale |
 |
| I wish they would add negative score though. |

| Their should be an addition of negative scoring. |
| I have yet to score any show 2 or 1. like 3 (very bad) already describes very bad. how does anything go below even worse? |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| No, it's good the way it is. I rate more according to the description (great, very good, good, etc) than the numbers. I only wish they change the word "masterpiece". I have lots of 10 because they are anime I really enjoyed but I can only consider 2 as masterpieces. It's not a very fitting word on my opinion. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Now that I'm using 6-10 for the anime I like and 5 for the stuff I consider watchable (4=bad and thus 5=not bad), no I don't need half points. |
| .5 would be great, especially with 7, 8 and 9. For me, it would make rating a certain shows much more easier. |
 |
| No. Ten choices is more than enough. |

| Although I think that the integral scale of 1-10 is good as it is, I still think that 0.5 system wont be bad either. It will be a bit too complicated but there are certain shows that I think deserves a score of lets supposed 7.5 or 8.5 and I end up round it up (or rarely down) depending on my enjoyment. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| I also want a .5 rating system, then I can rate my semi-favorites a 9.5 |
 |
| No, this is more than enough. If there was .5 I couldn't decide. |
 |
| Most of the time, the current scoring system works suitable. But adding .5 to the scoring system is definitely a good idea. |
 |
| No, adding a .5 won't change the general distribution of your scores, if you score primarily in the 7-9 range you'll continue to score in the 7-9 range and your overall stats will barely move making it redundant. It just becomes an excuse to continue to not use the other half of the scoring spectrum. Also you have the tags column enabled by default on your list and you haven't used it at all, you can literally write in whatever score you want there. |

I think I've seen it before but I never really thought anything of it and kinda ignored it. Maybe I'll try to start. |

I understand OP, there are different types of 8s on my list for example, i would love to have the .5 option that way i could differentiate my scores, i could drop some scores but that way i would be giving a lower scroe than the one i think it deserves.

| I would love if we had the .5 option, i dont like the idea of having the full decimal scale but the .5 would be enough but to be honest maybe its better if we mantain the 1-10 scale |
| People don't even know how to properly use a 1-10 system. Why would it need anything additional if people don't even understand that? |
| Blanks. |

Also you have the tags column enabled by default on your list and you haven't used it at all, you can literally write in whatever score you want there. That's why you can differentiate with a tag and a tag offers way more versatility because it also acts as a free comment section (which in your list you have used it both as a decimal and comment system). Every user applies meaning to those numbers and arguably nothing short of having a single rating for every series in the list will perfectly distinguish each series in ratings. On the other end of the spectrum if you find you have extended your definition of an "8" to be too broad that may indicate a problem with personal metrics. For example there is no such thing as a score that is too high or too low for a series because you applied the worth to those scores. Somebody could build their whole rating system to only use 1-5 with 1 as the highest and it would be as accurate as a 6-10 system for personal use. If anything I'd want tags to get more functionality to make it an easier sorting/filtering option like adding an alphabetical option so theoretically a whole list could be sorted by a decimal based system and filtering it to specific genres. |
| Life is full of though choices... 7.5? Nope! Choose NAO! 7 Or 8? What is it going to be? :P |
| Kingdom Come Deliverance II GOTY 2025 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is another worthy GOTY contender I tip my fedora to Sandfall Interactive, excellent debut gentlemen! If digital buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing |
| 1-10 is fine for Anime & Manga for me. I hate .5s normally, but it works for Wrestling matches. |
 |
| Yep Recently I finished Shingeki no Kyojin and gavr it a 2, but I also gave Kimetsu no Yaiba a 2. I think that Kimetsu is slightly better than Shingeki, I'd like to give 2,5/10 to Kimetsu and let Shingeki at 2/10 |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| This question is funny because you can go to anilist and ask if people like more scoring options and chances are everyone will say yes. General consensus here is split. I don't really mind tbh but I made it so that my rating system invalidates any need to have more score options. |
| i think we need negative scoring, but for the specific purpose of rating stuff based on ironic enjoyment lol |
 |
| Life was so much better when we were little kids and it was just a matter of "like" and "don't like". Half the trouble in this world comes from using 1-10 scales. |
 |
| Average based normalization is it. If your average is 8, then your 8 is my 5, and after normalization they are equal That simple. |
 |
| Nope, I've tried it on other sites that provide scoring options (for example, it can give a score of 8.5), it's a bit complicated for me. |
| Absolutely. I wish that I could give a few anime a 0, or a 0.25, or a 0.5. It sucks that I have to give them 1's, 2's, and 3's because that's much higher than they deserve. |
 |
| I wish they added .5 scores so that when I score anime ( e.g. 7.5) I don't have to round it. |

| The description for a 4 score should be changed. Going from "Average" to "Bad" is a large jump. "Below Average" would be more fitting on a sliding scale. |

| Indifferent, Anilist has different scoring systems, but I still always used the default 10 point system. |
 |
| There's always gonna be some uncertainty with the ratings at times but I think 10 options is enough, perhaps 20 would be even better but it's fine. There's a few anime I'd like to rate 0 though. |
|
| I wish you could label how you rate each aspect of the show like you can in a review |
| Actually I think a 5 star system would be preferable to what we have now with 4 different levels of "bad". |
 |
| We already have Anilist for decimal scoring so introducing negative scores would be fun. |
 |
| I don't understand the point of trying to synchronize your list to the popularity ranking. Understand that somewhere out there is a distribution of people that rate things differently, and those different rating systems are applied to all of the anime that they've watched. No anime gets an advantage or disadvantage if you structure your list differently, over the entire population of MAL users. The solution is simple: Start using 1-10, but call 1 "good" and call 10 "great". Explain that in your list with some markup if you need. |
