Honestly, ratings don't really matter. What matters is enjoyment. Some shows you should watch purely because they're awesome even if they're not very good. So sorry to waste your time with this.

10- Mythical. This tier is for completely flawless shows and manga that perform at the highest levels in every aspect and profoundly affected my views on anime and story telling in general.
eg. Hyouka

9- A tier for anime that are the best at what they do. They excel in above mentioned aspects and are close to being flawless but might have some small things which bother me enough to not give it a perfect score. These anime still gave me great value and enjoyment and personally rung with my fundamental needs for an anime.
eg. Shiki

8- Great shows which have great stories and characters that I would like to revisit if I have the time. Have aspects of a 9 rating but have more glaring flaws such as plot holes and logic gaps on further inspection. Despite this these shows have a lot to offer and can be shows that shot for the top but didn't quite make it
eg. K-On!!

7- Highly recommended shows that are mostly simple and don't really try too hard to get into a top 10 list. They are mostly great value for time invested. An exception to the rule would be the deeply polarizing shows that have too many positive and negative aspects and find this level as a sort of limbo of uncertainty of whether they're actually great or simply average.
eg. Akagami no Shirayukihime

6- Average to above average. Can have some aspects of a good show but have a lot of flaws cluttered around it. These shows don't do any harm and are watchable and even enjoyable under the right circumstances so quite a few "turn off your brain and just enjoy it" shows. Can try to be good and can actually specialize in certain aspects but the overall product is average.
eg. K-On!

5- Below average to average. The cut-off line for watchable anime. These shows are filled with flaws but aren't terrible. Flawed shows that are still great fun to watch lie here.
eg. Kantai Collection

Pretty bad shows that mess up in most departments. Hardly enjoyable and a a slug fest to watch despite the plethora of poorly executed gimmicks. Sometimes tries to test your patience and intelligence.
eg. Boku dake ga inai machi

3
Too much stupid to even care about. Seriously bad shows which are a total bore and you'd wonder why people bothered making the anime in the first place. A place for seriously annoying anime which aren't the polaziring type.
eg. Mekaku City Actors

2
This is where it gets offensively bad. These shows go out of their way to insult you and the greater anime community in general due to their complete incompetence with basic storytelling, directing and characters so poorly written they become caricatures of the trope they represent. Continuous releases of these types of anime would actually break the anime industry and set it back a few years.
eg. Rail Wars

1
An anime that shakes the very foundations of our existence and can destroy millions of lives in a cruel instance.
eg. Aldnoah Zero
