I consider review scores pretty arbitrary. I typically rate shows based on how well they succeed at what they set out to do. That is, unless I find what they set out to do blatantly asinine and/or uninteresting. Then I try not to pick those up in the first place. I refuse to rate shows I haven't finished though.
A rough rating system:
1 - 3 : A show that actually hurt or offended me to watch. Shows I'd go out of my way to recommend avoiding. Typically a mixture of QUALITY animation, cringe dialogue/plot, and a terrible/absent message.
4 - 5 : A show that fell flat but had passable internal components. 4s lost their way but 5s never really lost a chance for redemption.
6 - 7 : A show that eventually led me to have increased expectations but didn't fully deliver. Most shows that I consider "tried really hard" but had severe writing inconsistencies fall in this category. May have just given up the ghost.
8 - 9 : A show that I found masterfully compelling at times that more than made up for all it's flaws. Immediate recommendations for all general anime fans. Flaws are apparent but these shows are damn charismatic.
10 : A show that might normally be in the 8 - 9 range that touched me personally. Possibly had flaws but the message/animation/plot/sound all blew me away to the point that I didn't care for objectivity anymore.
I think these typically line up with MAL's existing "bad, fine, good, very good" rating system. Scores are massively subjective despite any effort. I'm human.
