A work doing everything right but with nothing special can at most be an 8. Any above has a sparkle to it:
-Good story is valued over incredible art. As long as art suffices it doesn't take points away.
-Except in specific stories, endings can either +1, -1 or +0 a story.
-Good direction in anime is extremely valued.

Manga example: Siúil, a Rún's art is more than enough to guarantee a 10, the story is a ~6, ending +0 --> 7.

Anime example: Gimai Seikatsu's story is a 7, art is horrid, 2, direction is brilliant: nullifies the production limitations --> 7.

10, 9 = Must watch/read
8 = Very good watch/read, very recommended
7 = Good watch/read, recommended
6 = Fine watch/read, good for sating an urge, not recommended if not
5 or below = Not recommended

I do not rate light novels because I don't consider manga and light novels to be similar enough to rate them in the same list.

Spot on about your comment where the flashbacks were breaking up the flow of the movie. I was getting so hyped, characters would be aura farming, and then it would grind to a halt with flashbacks and shallow dialogue.

Nice review for the Demon Slayer movie, I also didn't like how the flashbacks are breaking the flow of the battles. Flashbacks are so overused in anime, imo the only anime that nailed flashbacks is Frieren.

That makes perfect sense. I prefer to look back and rate things as a whole. Endings can lower my scores (and often do) but I am usually able to still appreciate what the story has given me.

Your point is completely fair. I completely agree with you that the ending and the final arc were absolutely terrible and arguably ruined the series to a certain extent. However like you said, the rest of the story was great and you really enjoyed it.

To me, giving something a 1 means it has no redeeming qualities. Oshi no Ko does. It truly was amazing up until the final arc. Even if the ending completely ruins the story for you, there is no denying that you still enjoyed the series until then. It would make perfect sense for you to give it a 5, a 4, or even a 3. But a 1? That doesn't make any sense.

I won't try to change your mind on the ending or any of your opinions (I don't agree with doing that unless somebody doesn't have anything to back up their opinions). I just think that the score is harsh considering you loved the story.

If oshi no ko was a good read up until the final arc, then how is it a 1?
