Im Patrick. Im more active in MAL but I created this for friends and contacts who either dont have MAL or have a beef with MALs mods as well as its general clunkiness.
How I rate things. Its mostly if I enjoy it or not plus if I am impressed with a few technical stuff: story animation art direction cinematography and editing and any sociopolitical message either explicitly or subtext or perhaps I love a certain character.
Note also that I dont rate anime based on certain rubrics such as this is 7/10 for animation 6/10 for story then average all that. Based on my whim and my gut feel I tend to weigh different criteria differently depending on the anime.
Thus these numbers are ordinal numbers rather than cardinal numbers i.e. I am rating each anime not only by itself but also in relation to other anime I rated thus far and in the case of seasonal anime how I rate or will rate other anime in the season.
10 = Critically acclaimed masterpiece that I also enjoyed or an anime I enjoyed so much and spoke to my deepest values that I choose to ignore perceived flaws
9 = really great and perhaps other peoples 10 or critically acclaimed but did not win my heart as much as 10s
8 = very good or I would have rated a 7 but it has great visuals
7 = good
6 = slightly better than average its a decent score
5 = passing score enjoyable to a certain extent and still worth watching despite defects or perhaps it should technically be higher but I did not like a thing or two such as the message
4 = can be enjoyed to some extent but the flaws are more glaring than those in my 5s
3 = liked by others and have some merits but did not click with me
2 = really bored perhaps it didnt make sense even if there are fun elements
1 = objectively appalling and/or my subjective experience with it is so appalling
