In scoring anime/manga, I try to be as objective as possible. Some series I love are ranked lower than I'd like them to be because I know they aren't objectively as good as I feel they could be. The opposite is also true. A score of "7" is my general cutoff for recommending a show/series to someone. However, some "6's" are worth it if you love that genre, just like some "8's" aren't worth it if you hate that genre.
With that being said, this is a breakdown for how I score anime/manga:
10. masterpiece: as close to perfect as possible. leaves a unique feeling of satisfaction after finishing. any flaws/criticisms are subjective.
9. great: objective storytelling and layered nuance. exceptional in its execution, but shows minor flaws. top tier in anime/manga overall.
8. good: nuanced and well-executed series in the top tier of their genre. its flaws stand out, but are outweighed by its strengths.
7. enjoyable: entertaining and worth your time, but does not excel. either brought down by flaws and/or lacking that next level edge.
6. nice: mostly enjoyable, but highly flawed. the potential was there, but the execution/substance didn't live up to it.
5. average: super generic, ruined potential, and/or glaring flaws. low-enjoyment, but may be redeemable/entertaining enough to finish.
4. poor: bad execution, flubbed endings, lack of substance, and overall low quality, though may have some good moments.
3. bad: no matter your personal taste, these have severe flaws in writing/art/animation. read the summary if you're curious.
2. horrible: not worth any amount of time invested. no depth, no enjoyment, no merit
1. garbage: time spent here is time you'll never get back.
