I have recently opted to elaborate my initial 10-point scale ratings on my anime list to a 100-point system, the scoring/grading scale is as follows:

The Very Bad
Things that are utterly baffling to me. Not many complete series will fall into this category as I'm well beyond the days of finishing shows I dislike this much.
F (0 - 39)

The Marginal
Has at least one redeeming quality, being mercifully short or possessing something out there or mildly interesting. Still falls flat in a significant way.
D- (40 - 44)
D (45 - 49)

The Okay
The craft is evident, yet it lacks ambition or cohesion on a fundamental level. Can also be something which, while holding plenty of interesting ideas, takes narrative decisions through direction or writing that are either questionable or outright objectionable.
D+ (50 - 54)
C- (55 - 59)
C (60 - 64)
C+ (65 - 69)

The Pretty Good
Something that, when I think about it, excites me in concept. Yet, when I return to view it, pales in comparison to my image of it, although still provides an engaging and even mildly fulfilling experience.
B- (70 - 74)
B (75 - 79)

The Excellent
An exceptionally strong core conceit, theme, or concept can help to make the flaws in these ones easy to look beyond. Moving and impactful in such a way that manages to lower my critical defenses for even just a moment. It is very likely that I felt a strong emotional response at least once while watching most things from here upwards.
B+ (80 - 84)
A- (85 - 89)

The Outstanding
Things which elevate to become the cornerstones of my taste. Wholly exciting and tearing down the walls of my learned cynicism while viewing.
A (90 - 94)
A+ (95- 99)

The Beyond
Exceedingly rare. Delivering a complete, fulfilling experience while also imprinting on my self in some indescribable yet wholly impactful way.
A++ (100)

(I may also do this for manga at some point, though I don't think that list is big enough to warrant it at present)__
