Guidelines for scores

10 - The Few and Far Between of series that becomes an experience I truly cherish. Shows that I'm going to think about constantly, keep coming back to, and always love. Generally series where what it does is so strong, even the series flaws seem pale in comparison.

9 - Very good series that make me think, have several compelling characters, are strong artistically via the cinematic storytelling or overall design, and are otherwise memorable experiences that stick with me. It might have the same drawbacks as a 10/10 but often is strengths aren't on par with a 10/10 series

8 - Definitely above average series that stood out to me. Their appeal may be based more on one particular strength rather than the more well-rounded 9's or they might have significant strengths mixed with some significant flaws. 8's for me are generally the top 15 territory for any given year.

7 - I enjoyed it just about all the way through but these series don't really stand out to me in the biggest way. Or it might have stood out to me but had some pretty big flaws, technical or otherwise.

6 - I still enjoy myself for pretty much the whole thing, but the faults are so there that they're nagging at me throughout the whole experience. For the most part, 6's are where my mind spends more time thinking about what I don't like about the show as opposed to what I like about the show.

5 - Pretty much getting to the point where it's grating. I usually get a feeling that the show has good ideas or intentions, but it may be actually putting it together in a way where's there's flaws in and of themselves. Almost like a paper with a good thesis but who's argument's don't seem to actually do much to defend that thesis

4 to 3 - Show's that are actively bad, sloppy, have a poor concept or the nuts and bolts completely fail the concept. Often trainwreck-tier shows where I can still get some fun watching it all come apart. I can almost never watch these series outside of a show I'm watching week to week while it's airing

2 - Show's that transcend trainwreck and become actively unenjoyable or make me angry.

1 - I don't think I can even sit through a 1 willingly. 1 seem's like an absolute borderline I know I can't cross.

0 - (I know you actually can't give this rating on MAL but I can definitely see why some media have gotten a 0 from other reviewers) If 1 is the borderline I know I can't cross... 0 is the layer beneath it I don't even know about and can't really fully comprehend or understand.
