This is how I rate most anime and manga, which is identical to MAL's scoring system. Well, most. There are a few exceptions which include hentai and guilty pleasures (To LOVE-Ru, for example).
Note: I tend to be harsh on experimental shorts, recaps and the like for some obvious reasons.
Masterpiece: 10
A masterfully crafted title, and one that has heavily resonated with me. It has nearly always kept me emotionally invested and engrossed throughout its runtime, and may have even changed my perspective about certain aspects of life. Might not be entirely flawless, but that couldn't affect my experience in the end.
Example: Koe no Katachi
Great: 9
An excellent title displaying brilliance in most aspects, but had a few hiccups along the way that slightly lessened my enjoyment.
Example: Shinsekai yori
Very Good: 8
A very remarkable title, but had the potential to be something even greater. Still, it was mostly very entertaining and did a lot more things right than wrong.
Example: Deca-Dence
Good: 7
A title with some noticeable issues that lessened my enjoyment quite a bit. Nonetheless, it was fairly decent and enjoyable for the most part.
Example: Hello World
Fine: 6
An unremarkable title that suffers from a considerable amount of major flaws, but can oftentimes be entertaining.
Example: Another
Average: 5
A fairly mediocre title with almost an equal amount of pros and cons. There isn't much to talk about it for the most part.
Example: Charlotte
Bad: 4
A below average title with a lot of shortcomings. However, it did have a few saving graces that didn't make it completely unamusing.
Example: Citrus
Very Bad: 3
A title that's very difficult to watch because of the abundance of flaws prevalent throughout it. Not totally irredeemable, but still unwatchable.
Example: Kamisama ni Natta Hi
Horrible: 2
A terrible title with little to no redeeming factors. Only a marginally decent aspect or two saved it from getting a 1/10.
Example: Sword Art Online (yeah even the first season is shit)
Appalling: 1
An utterly unenjoyable title that's beyond redemption in regard of its story and characters. The production quality might not have been that bad, but it just wasn't enough to compensate for the godawful writing. Would only recommend if you are a masochist or looking for ironic enjoyment.
Example: Mars of Destruction (it's a classic)
