I tend to rank series based on personal enjoyment. In general I tend to put a huge amount of weight into the story and characters. Most of my favorite series are a combination of an intelligent (or unique / exciting) story with a character I tend to really enjoy watching.
10 - Must watch. Enjoyed the series to the point that I was disappointed that I could not watch more. MAL equivalent = Masterpiece
9 - Highly recommended, greatly enjoyed the series, but not as much as those I rated a 10. Overall there is no distinct method that I use to determine a 9 vs a 10; just personal preference. MAL equivalent = Great
8 - Recommended, I may have not liked some aspect of the anime, but it is worth your time overall. I find these series entertaining, but there is a big difference (such as depth of story / characters, animation, and overall enjoyment) between series I rate a 8 vs a 9 / 10. MAL equivalent = Very Good
7 - Overall positive, the anime had a few aspects that I disliked, but the series had more positive than negatives. MAL equivalent = Good
6 - Ok, these series were entertaining, but there were numerous things that I disliked about the series. MAL equivalent = Fine
5 - Overall disliked the series, but the anime had something (such as a character) that kept me interested.
4 or below - Really did not like the series and I would not recommend it to people unless they really enjoyed a similar series. Almost dropped these series.
50th Anime = Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!
100th Anime = 3-gatsu no Lion
