You know I like that, it pretty close to how I view things. Your point on eight almost mirrors what I feel about all might eight out of tens, very good but room for improvement but still something I'd easily recommend. Not sure how I rank 7, I don't necessarily see 7 as mindless entertainment because I put the original EVA series as a seven and that show isn't mindless. 

I think for how I define a 7 is that the show is lacking something, that might be direction, pacing. But it still a good show. 5 is my average, so 6 is above average and 4 below average. I try to steer clear of anime that more likely going to irk me into throwing it down into 5 territory. As a result the bottom of my list and how I define 'bad anime' is pretty hard. I suppose it going on instinct - I hated MD Geist and gave that a 3, but Kokoro Connect was somthing I couldn't even sit threw so easy 2.

As for my top scores, I don't really worry if something needs to be accessible to newbies or the elites holy grail on Anime it just, if I consider it a masterpiece and constantly find myself reflecting on the show its got to be a 10 out of 10. I often see my 10 out of 10s there for as very subjective and they could easily find themselves as 9 or 8's in someone else's list.

For example my top show Monster isn't something I'm gonna recommend a newbie who might have only watched Pokémon because that just impossible to expect. But it's still a masterpiece in my opinion. 

Just checked you're anime list out and trust me, you got to give Stein's Gate another chance. Currently sitting on three episodes and believe me that show get good. Really good. 

Also I'll repost my anime list, cause it probably buried somewhere in this thread and I haven't link it to my posts because I have no idea how

AnimePedestrian's Anime List - MyAnimeList.net

I'm glad to hear it!! It helps me so much when I'm talking to others about a show I love or didn't like and why. I'm a chronic binge watcher and my hubs always gets on me for not taking in the content meaningfully lol so I decided to do something about it! I made my rating scale and joined a bunch of forums and subreddits and such and I've been really loving chatting with other people. I don't really have a lot of friends that are into anime/manga, so I never realized how fun it is to chat with other about it. 

The reason Steins;Gate is only at 3 eps is because I was really distracted watching the first 2 episodes and got lost really fast. I need to go back and watch it!! It's next up on my watch list actually! Funny that you noticed that haha 

I'll go check out your list! I'm sure I'll find some gems.

I was reading the manga when it was first serialized and when the harem part came in I just dropped it since it was so bad.

Yeah, it was so, so bad I hate even admitting I watched to the end lol

Per my MAL I made it through episode 5. Mildly amusing at first, but got bored of it.

Yeah! I was like, "okay, potentially cool", very quickly tanked.

I’m currently reading one of my favorite manga in the world... the devil is a part timer. It’s a reverse isekai with really good comedy. The best way to enjoy it is by reading it without knowing anything about it and I recommend this manga to everyone. Please give it a try. 
!(^o^)!

I loooove Hataraku Maou-sama!! Such a cute manga  

I just finished Chainsaw Man. I thought it was great!

Some of my other faves (variety of genres) are: Here U Are (BL), Kamisama Hajimemashita (Shoujo), Yuu Yuu Hakusho (Shounen), What's Wrong With Secretary Kim? (Webtoon-romance), Attack on Titan (Shounen), BJ Alex (Yaoi), unTOUCHable (Shoujo), Jujutsu Kaisen (Shounen)

Attack on Titan brought me in, Hunter X Hunter made me stay. 

I'd love to see how everyone determines how to rate an anime. Do you simply go off of the 1-10 on MAL or do you have your own standards? 

For reference, here is the MAL rating scale... 

1- Appalling

2- Horrible

3- Very bad

4- Bad

5- Average

6- Fine

7- Good

8- Very Good

9- Great

10- Masterpiece

and here is my personal rating scale... 

10- I would suggest this to every anime lover or newbie and probably won’t ever stop talking about it. Highly recommended.

9- Everyone interested in this genre should watch this show. Excellent characters, plot, and production. Highly recommended.

8- This had good characters and plot, but some parts could be improved. Recommended.

7- This had decent characters or plot, but lacked quality in development and execution. Recommended for mindless entertainment.

6- If you’re bored with extra time with no other show to watch, you could maybe watch this. 

5- This had one potentially good part or character, but overall pretty awful. Would not recommend. 

4- I only finished it because I wanted to know what happened in the end; don't watch this. 

3- I managed to get through the story, but it was a waste of my time. 

2- I watched the a few episodes and deeply regretted it.

1- I couldn’t even make it through the first episode. 

I posted, but then thought of this, so here's my list again!

I watched an anime called "in another world with my smartphone" and my god, was it awful. It starts out like many isekai where the ML dies (accidentally by god's hand) and gets reincarnated into a magical world with OP stats. God grants him one request and he asks to keep his smartphone. It's fun at first because he's teaching people all sorts of new things, but it quickly turns harem with no more focus on adventure and learning new skills and no more conflicts. Everything is handed to him on a silver spoon and eventually, god basically tells him that "monogamy isn't common here, so have your way with all of them!" and he gains like 5 wives. No plot, zero character development, and incredibly unnecessary cat fight scenes over some lame dude who can't make up his mind. I did finish it, but regretted literally every moment from the start.
