A 1/10 anime is the worst an anime can be. In all regards, it fails on even the most basic tests of competence. Such rating is reserved for things where the animation isn't even finished.
A 10/10 anime is the best an anime can be. Where try as you might, you can't think of anything that would improve the anime in a nontrivial way.
A 5/10 anime is the most bog standard generic anime that just barely manages to demonstrate technical aptitude.
A 6/10 anime is generally not worth watching unless it is of historical significance or it appeals to your personal tastes in a very niche way.
A 7/10 anime is something you would genuinely recommend to anyone interested in the genre or subject matter because you, personally, found it to be competently made and also quite entertaining. It could have been better but it could have been a lot worse and you don't regret the time you spend watching it.

Casuals get unrealistic expectations because they only ever watch anime that they have been assured are at least a 7/10, but lack the framework to see what makes it a 7/10. Something with great animation but dogshit writing, and something with just passable animation but really solid writing, can both be 7/10's.
Furthermore if you have a 56 episode anime where 1/3rd of the episodes are really good, 1/3rd are passable, and 1/3rd are dogshit, generally still evens out to a 7/10 experience
In this regard, the 7/10 anime seems like average. but that's because things less than 7/10 tend to not be talked about at all except when discussing niche genres and rare tropes.
A fanatic groks this intuitively. A casual consumes the 50 most popular anime of all time, which are mostly 7/10's, and doesn't see what makes 8/10's and 9/10's so special, and thinks 10/10's are a myth, a mere hypothetical 'perfect' anime that is an utterly unique genre defying work that will change their lives and cure their depression and regrow their parents marriage, and that anything less than that is a mere 7/10

This has actually happened to me, but objectively I can't rate any anime higher than 9/10

>>279850428 (OP)
true actually but im way too used for this format of post to just be bait

>>279850581
fair

>>279850538
for me a 10/10 is something I would tell a random anime fan is a 9/10, but for me, personally, it hits just the right niche appeal on top of being really well made

God these pseuds are so obnoxious.
10 - It was good
1 - It sucked

>>279850647
there's nothing wrong with those being your only tiers but you gotta be honest and rate things as either 1/2 or 2/2

>>279850647
This. It's either good or it's not. Like novels or any other piece of media it's either shit or it isn't and all is according to taste.

For example. I think Gurren Lagan is good. I think Bocchi The Rock is shit. If you disagree? Fuck you. You have shit taste and your mom is a whore. If you agree? Fuck you. Your mom is a whore, but at least you don't have shit taste.

>>279850758
do you think all good anime are just as good as gurren lagann?

>>279850769
Irrelevant. It's either good or it isn't. I don't waste my time trying to rank things like some smelly youtuber faggot who is looking to fill 30 minutes for ad revenue.

>>279850428 (OP)
Even a 10/10 anime is incomparable to the best examples of actual serious artforms like film or TV

>>279850821
>It's either good or it isn't
that is ranking things

It's ok, jeetbro. There's always next time. Work on your syntax till then.

why should i take hardcore catoon watchers opinion seriously?
it will make richer or understand the world better?

I get being annoyed with people who don't calibrate average at "5/10" but at the same time the aggregators are pointless in the first place because aggregating normalfag opinion is worthless.

At the very least it might improve your grasp of the english language

people will pretend that there is such a thing as objective quality to all media, that something's are objectively good, and something's are objectively bad
objectivity can be catergorized, and so a system was developed where numbers can be associated with the percieved quality of a piece of media
however, this idea is inherently flawed, the quality of something is based on how well you enjoyed it, and enjoyment is based on a person's opinion and if you believe in objective quality, then you have to believe in an objective opinion, and there is no such thing, every opinion is subjective
>tl;dr if you actually believe that numbers matter for the quality of something, you are retarded

>>279850428 (OP)
Ultimately, the concept of "the worst anime" is also a myth. Through the history of Japanese animation we got proved that technically the worst anime like "Chargeman Ken", "Twinkle Nora Rock Me!" or more recently "My Sister, My Writer" ended attracting small attention and genuine group of fans due to their uniquely bad qualities.
"The worst anime" is the ultimate 5/10 anime, the one that has no qualities that are genuinely good or bad and are just mediocre and forgettable. The one that passes through your mind like diarrhea.

>looking at scores
anon if you follow animu for a decade you should have already gained the visual judgement perk.
Just look at the promotional image. That´s it. You don´t need to read score or even a description. No tags. Not even title.
Just look at the promotional image and your instincts should kick in. If you followed enough seasons your prejudices should have been developed correctly. Try it now.

>>279850835
Have you seen onimai

>>279850428 (OP)
But we can both agree that Frieren is 10/10, right?

>Such rating is reserved for things where the animation isn't even finished.
I present to you Gundress, a movie with character designs by Shirow Masamune, that was actually released in theaters with several scenes unfinished, like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3cgqg4mUJg
And believe it or not, even this movie doesn’t deserve a 1/10, because it still has some merits. A true 1/10 is something like Hametsu no Mars: a piece of trash that not only looks like ass, but has nothing to say and is, overall, a monumental waste of everyone's time.

>>279850758
You are partly right in that both of those are good anime (I know you didn't say Bocchi was but that's irrelevant) and that the way ranking things out of 10 works is largely arbitrary, but the rest of the joke I was writing isn't worth the effort it'd take.

What would be a 1/ten anime?
