What?
I don't watch it if it is at least 8/10. I'm a seasoned veteran of this shit. I'm not easily impressed.
>>134050101
So you don't watch anything?
>>134050013
It's not bad, but may not lend itself to multiple viewings for reasons.
Much like KEKkai Sensen.
>>134050131
Except perfect shows like CLANNAD: After Story and Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal.
>>134050013
When the average rating is ~7.5/10, then yeah, 7/10 is kinda a bad rating.
>>134050160

If any show relies on purely death to invoke an emotional response, it's shit.
If you're not a newfag and actually watched hella anime over the years, you'd be thankful if you found an 7/10 anime nowadays.
>>134050288
But it doesn't rely on death for emotional response anon, that's just the climax.
>>134050171
The average rating is 5 at best, you pleb.
>Those turbokeks that never ever give anything a 10/10
I have a friend who does this and it makes me want to strangle him. 10 out of 10 doesn't mean it has to be fucking flawless in every way and every single person on earth has to unequivocally agree it's a grand invention that revolutionized the field like sliced bread.
It just means you loved the ever loving fuck out of it and would probably rewatch it a bunch if it's that kind of show or game or food product or whatever god fucking damn fucking hipster ass nigger cock suckers.

Not sure if you're referring to MAL or other normalfag anime rating sites, but on MAL all the best anime are in the 5-6/10 range.
>>134050411
I've never seen anything in anime above 8/10.
Breaking Bad is a good example of a true 10/10.
>>134050804
>not rating 0 to 10
>>134050839
I think anime movies are more likely to break that barrier.
>>134050839
What if you like anime 80% of much you like normal tv shows?
>>134050201
More like 6.5/10.
>>134050889
No. People just have lower standards for anime movies
What people don't understand is the relevance of the actual numbers behind the percentage. The difference between 70% of 100, and 70% of 1000, is 630, even if the percentages are the same. Or in other words, in the same time I could spend reading or watching the best 30% of 100, I could in the case of a broader selection of works watch or read the best 3% out of 1000. Why would I want to watch or read a 7/10 when I can watch a 9/10? This is what happens when a wider selection is produced and made available.
>>134050839

The only anime I've seen that would come close to 10/10 for me would beHxH, Big O, Ping Pong or Trigun.I should watch more anime. The first season of Heroes was literally perfect if you're going to get all /tv/ on me. Shame about the rest of it.
I rate things based on how hard they pull me in, not on any objective criteria though, so I wouldn't take anything I say seriously.
>>134050817

This is my argument right here. 10/10 should just be fantastic, excellent or something you personally loved the fuck out of, not some unattainible ideal that faggots like to pretend will one day exist and would never see anyway if it did since their standards are absurdly skewed.
True perfection would be in its own class and not limited to a number rating you dogs.

That just means that you are rating the first episode, not the show, genius.
>>134051048
Rating scores are shit, no exceptions
>>134052514
But, you can blame him. /new/ was literally stormfront 2.0 so moot deleted it. Then he willingly brought it back despite knowing it would be the same shit.
>>134052364
No. Moot's just a dude who wanted a place where he could shoot the shit anonymously, having unrealistic expectations when judging his decisions regarding a very difficult and poorly researched situation he never expected is what's wrong here. Being unable to do better also implies a similar or greater lack of ability and therefore understanding, in which case you're certainly not qualified to judge whether he was incompetent or not. When you've been there you can comment on the ability required to master the situation.
Kind of depends. A single person rating 7/10 is fairly neutral in my book, but an AVERAGE rating of 7/10 implies that half of the people that watched it in fact rated it below 7/10, so I am inclined to see this as harsher than the individual reviewer at 7/10. Group ratings tend to be inflated in general anyway.
>>134052541
He brought it back because he got that we needed a containment board. It's not that hard.
>>134050213
Yeah, YnS is 6.8
>>134052532
People that do 1-3 episode ratings can be useful to the rest of us that come in mid-season and want a quick idea of what's worth watching, though. (Or at least what the reception is for stuff.)
Anything below 7.0 = short anime or completely worthless
7.0 - 7.4 = below average
7.5 = average
7.6 - 7.9 = amazing
8.0+ = classics and sequels when only an established fanbase is still watching
Based on looking at MAL.
What's even the point of ratings nowadays when you can just download a demo in a matter of seconds?
>>134052574
No, he's the one who has an unrealistic expectation and yes, people are allowed qualified to judge whether he was incompetent or not. Because that's how it works in the real world. Especially if the community is the one actively feeling the impacts.
Your type of mindset is what promotes groupthink and how organizations fall part because they simply refuse to acknowledge it.
He messed up, deal with it.

>>134050661
>only /pol/ hates pedophiles
A problem with trying to bell curve your ratings is that if you value your time whatsoever then anything less than good is inherently bad for taking up your free time that could have been allocated more effectively. There is no 5/10 average for entertainment. If it's not good then it's bad, no middle ground.
>Numerical ratings
>having any real value
>>134052625
>a containment board
People who genuinely think this is an actual argument and think that is an actual solution are the ones who have no idea how things work.
No, that just encourage more of those kind because you're officially giving them a place. And here's the thing, they won't be contend with that and will try to push for more.
>>134052780
>Especially if the community is the one actively feeling the impacts
I put that there for a reason. But sure, make your own strawman, create and dispute your own argument. You're not willing to have your views challenged anyway and is already determined on being right.
Just don't be bitching about it in the next meta-threads about how /a/ is dying, crossboarding is increasing etc.
>>134052731
>Because that's how it works in the real world.
Actually, the epitome of "I say whatever I want even if I'm not qualified and my opinion is clearly superficial and worthless" is the internet, not the real world.
Anything below 3 might as well be suicide encouragement material.
>>134053011

>>134052896
Who feels the impact is irrelevant when it comes to the difficulty of assessing a situation, especially when we don't get to tell what the outcome would've been if another decision had been made. I can tell you one thing about the real world: if one thing didn't work out as planned or hoped or solve all issues in the case of unrealistic expectations, it doesn't mean the other option would've turned out better.
>>134052896

In the real world unqualified people are not allowed to judge things they know nothing about. The only times they are is when corruption is present. Which is unfortunately a lot of the time, you can blame nepotism for that. But in a world where legitimately intelligent people with strong leadership skills are put in charge of things that take intelligence and leadership this would not happen.
You shouldn't speak up when you don't know jack fucking shit anyway, because any person with an IQ above 90 won't take you seriously if you haven't been there yourself and you'll just make yourself look like a retarded know-it-all.

Piero Scaruffi has the right idea when it comes to ratings.
He's reviewed thousands upon thousands of albums, giving a 9.5 to only three and a 10 to none.
If you give anything a 10, you're declaring that it's the greatest ever, that nothing ever produced in the past or future can possibly hope to surpass it. It's absurd to rate anything as a 10/10.

9 -Fantastic, something you will enjoy many times over the course of your lifetime and love everyone involved in it
8 -Amazingly good and probably talked about for years to come by you
7 -Good enough to talk about every now and then and keep your interest in new stuff being released
6 -Okay, had some wasted potential but excelled in one or two aspects
5 -Average and had a lot of wasted potential with nothing be remembered as bad or good
4 -Bad and will be remembered as a example of why you can't take pride in everything in this media
3 -The shit olympics starts here, being the worst thing you will remember rating
2 -You want to kill everyone who helped create this and then purge it from memory
1 -Same as 2 but you can't seem to purge the memory of it so you decide suicide is the only way out of this predicament
0 -Never finished it because your instincts are telling your it would be a 1 if you did and aren't prepared to go yet

The only two ratings that make sense are based on your personal enjoyment, or if you're rating it to recommend to others, then based on how much you think your audience will enjoy it. Anything else is stupid.
>>134054183
Most of my shows fitting that description are at 3/4
>>134054183
Here a pic that briefly illustrate the concept. Rating isn't a linear concept, it's circular. Like an Ouroboros.
>>134054455
To add a pregnant and meaningful famous quote:
"Utter shit tier is the closest thing to God tier"
Friedrich Nietzsche
In school, 7/10 is a C. C isn't a failing grade, but it isn't a very good grade, either. Someone who averages a C is coming dangerously close to a D, which is sort of a conditional failure. This makes sense, since if you're getting 50% of the questions on a test wrong for a 5/10, you obviously don't know the topic as well as you should. Then, rather than making 5/10 the middle point for essays and practical exams and using some formula to adapt it to the same scale as the multiple choice test (no reason to do this except for autism; even if you like math, adding more shit always makes more room for mistakes and increases the work load), they just make 7/10 the barely passing grade across the board.
People are very used to this grading system. That's why they view 7/10 as a score for mediocre works, just shy of a failing grade.
>>134054610
Grades make zero fucking sense, is the issue.
>>134054610
Is murica the only country that uses this kind of grading system? (pretty retarded desu)
Here grades are out of ten and to pass you have to have just a little more that average, which is six.
>>134054752
>Here grades are out of ten and to pass you have to have just a little more that average, which is six.
Same here.
>>134050013
A five is something you had no strong opinion on and you'd watch because you had nothing else to do, six and four are similar timewasters but you found them more or less enjoyable. Seven and three are where you start actively wanting to watch or avoid the shows, and then beyond that just intensifies how much you liked or disliked it.
>>134054641
It makes perfect sense, for the reasons that I just gave.
Even if you did away with the letter grades, you'd still need a passing and failing point. In this case, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for that point to be 5/10.
>>134054752
How is that different?
Less than 60% gives you an F. However, a D (60-69%) usually isn't transferable, and a C identifies you as a very run-of-the-mill student.
GPA is useful for scholarships, employers, and admittance to better universities, as well determining whether a student should be placed on academic probation (good for giving students a kick in the ass to work harder, and then removing those who are taking up resources with their refusal or inability to learn) or graduating with honors. I can't see anything stupid about it at all.
I use a 4 point rating system
>1 awful
>2 bad with some redeeming aspects
>3 average, nothing especially good or bad
>4 great
/a/'s 10 is my 5 and my 10 is /a/'s 1.

I use the 5-point system that appears in my Taiga log, but that has .5 intervals. I like to use the .5s something like this
5-All time favorites that are also objectively fantastic (Disappearance of Haruhi for example)
4.5- a 4 that stood out to me personally among the other 4's for some more subjective or specific reason (Spice and Wolf or Chuunibyou fit here).
4-Great show. Has some flaws, but nothing that takes too much away from the overall quality. (I put Ika Musume into this category)
3.5-Average seasonal show that stood out among the 3's. (Joukamachi no Dandelion and Dog Days go here)
3-Average seasonal show. Was enjoyable to watch as it ran, but no too much to write home about. (Danmachi and Shimoneta are some recent examples)
2-Pretty shit. Might have had one or two things going for it, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. (Nisekoi adaptation was kind of entertaining in the stupid way and was pretty to look at if you like SHAFT style. Otherwise it was cliche without even trying to be clever about it.)
1-Actually shit. I sat through 25 episodes + the swimming pool OVA of that shit. I fucking earn the right to shit on everything wrong with you know what so long as it keeps being pushed in my face.
objectively the best rating system

I judge all anime on Monogatari standards.
It's either Monogatari/10 or it's Shit/10.

What do you rate shows you enjoyed but still think they are trash?
>>134064057
6-7, but I mention they are like 1 and 2 points up from where they should be
>>134050013
It is a bad rating, there's a reason people say that most anime is trash.
Always strive for perfection, an 8/10 is still flawed as hell but at least it can stand on its own unique merits.
A 7/10 just fades in with the rest of the unoriginal crowd of trash anime flooding the medium.
>>134050171
The average rating is 5/10, and 7/10 is still a bad rating.
My ratings follow a normal distribution curve where 5 is the mean. Most anime falls in between 4/10 and 7/10.

So this is bait?
I think Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya sucked. Therefore, it is not objectively fantastic. Pull your head out of your ass.
>>134057928
I'm sorry if you you have no standards and rate garbage 10/10
>>134064057
Enjoyment is a factor in the rating, just like how animation quality/sound, writing, characters, story, etc are all factors.
I just finished Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso and gave it an 8/10 because as far as "enjoyment goes" it was a 10/10 for me, it beat the shit out of my heart harder than any other series I've seen. So it gets an 8/10 despite horrendous pacing (first 9 or 10 episodes could have/should have been covered in the first 4 episodes, it could have easily been a single-cour show) and terribly misplaced comedy intervals all throughout the show, as well as a supporting cast of minor characters that lacked depth or any meaning that couldn't have been accomplished better with a smaller, more fleshed out cast of tertiary characters.
>rating series at all
Please go back to MAL.
Daily reminder that 10/10 isn't literally perfection, and if you've seen a decent amount of anime (around 100 at the very least) and still don't have anything rated 10/10 you're either avoiding shows that appeal to you or are pointlessly wasting an entire 1/10th of your rating scale just to feel intellectually superior and elitist.

Why would I go to an anime website where Gintama literally makes up half of their top 10 series?
>>134064985
Why would you care about the retarded community on a site meant for managing your backlog?
>>134050582
Yes it does.
What it doesn't mean, however, is that ~half of a (for example) MAL user's anime list should be rated <5/10.
Even retards who have watched only 20 series are going to gravitate toward series that appeal to them or look good, which almost lowers the chances of running into, say, a 1/10 to nearly nothing. And once you start watching a respectable number of anime, of course your personal bellcurve is going to place 7/10 closer to the peak rather than 5/10, unless you're purposefully seeking out shows to watch that look bad or you've heard are bad. Either that or you're literally watching every show that airs every season.
tl;dr: There's a LOT of anime that airs each season, and a LOT of that anime is complete dogshit.
If someone were to hypothetically have seen literally every anime ever and assign a numerical score to them, their "average" would end up being something closer to 4/10, if not 3/10.
Watch stuff like Pupa or Mars of Destruction or Master of Martial Hearts to really put into perspective how good those boring, avergae, 5/10 harem SoL shows are that get pumped out each season.

Numerical grades used in schools are incomparable.
If you're seeking to teach students skills to help them get along in life, you're not going to praise them or call them average when they only know 50% of the subject matter, so that's considered a fail.
You fail a written driver's test if you get under 90%, because that cut-off grade is appropriate for the subject matter being graded on. That doesn't mean you compare it to numerically rating anime and say "if it's not a 9/10 it's literally unwatchable".
>>134065400
alphabetical grades used in schools*
fuck
>>134051575
Probably not, since most bad manga doesn't get scanlated/translated, therefore us westerners don't even get exposed to it.
On the other hand, pretty much every single anime that airs every season nowadays is uploaded and translated for western audiences.
Anime gets more exposure, so people can see all the bad examples.
>>134064057
For this, I personally use a .5
For example, there are plenty of questionable decisions in Eva 3.33 but I still enjoyed all the PIANOS AND GAYS so I'd call it like a 5.5 or 6.5, the .5 signifying that, despite any faults, I did enjoy the program enough to want to rewatch it. Any .5 below an 8.5 for me is like an "I liked it, but..." type of deal.I feel this is too autistic
>>134064891
I agree that enjoyment is the most important thing, but I still have to tell you your taste and Shigatsu are both awful.

Say that to Cyborg 009 vs Devilman.
If the anime doesn't get picked up by CR, it's pretty much doomed.

I only rate things 10/10 ironically.
5 scale > 10 scale
>>134052721
Demo doesn't always give the full picture, also it's quicker to read someone else's impressions than to play for long enough to form your own.
I have four ratings
1.) I'll drop it
2.) I'l bear with it
3.) I'll watch it
4.) It's the best thing since sliced bread
>>134050013
7/10 became the new 5/10. Whenever I talk to someone and they rate 7/10 they always say the show was okay. That should be a 5/10 rating, it wasn't good, it wasn't bad, it was just okay
>>134065778
It's pretty autistic, shouldn't you switch the .5 to something else like a ~ or *? It just seems too "special" of a thing to assign .5 to.
6.5 should just be strictly better than a 6, and strictly worse than a 7. The way you describe it, 6.5 is kind of in it's own special tier.
>>134066786
>less options, less refined verdict

>in any way
I could only see a smaller scale being more helpful to toddlers or people of similar brain capacity since it helps them understand the scale better and decide on a rating easier.
