- Anything 8 and above is great in my book. 10 is often a masterpiece or has minor flaws (which may actually grow on me). 9 is for noticeable flaws in plot, character or twists. Art and animation are like bonuses to me. If I can't stand the art I wouldn't even finish the series to start with.

• 6 or 7 means mediocre, but 7 marks better enjoyment.

• 2-5 means there're some major problems with the anime wrt plot, characters or twists and especially pacing, coherence or logic. 5 is my baseline, and 0.5 point is deducted for each major problem with one of the previously mentioned factors. Generally, 2-5 means I saw no values in the anime whatsoever and considered it a waste of time.

• 1 is probably the minimum I'll give since I appreciate the effort put into making art. Also,1 means I found the anime offensive and could be triggered by it easily.
