This list is much shorter, because there's not much I dislike, and some stuff I may dislike I just don't know about. Also in both lists I didn't include some things, that are very obvious (e.g. everyone dislikes death and everyone likes being healthy), still I included some specific and personal preferences.
On my weird average score (Scoring inside)
You may be curious as to why my average score is so high. There are few reasons:
I generally only score anime I watched fully or plan to watch fully (for this I always watch at least first episode and the anime is usually finished).
I don't watch anime I don't like or drop them, often, but not always, leaving them unscored.
I love anime, so I generally tend to feel positively about series I watch and I do it with positive and receptive approach.
I don't take scoring very seriously and can score some anime above what I probably should've scored it (especially if the series is memey).
I love logarithmic curve.
I usually tend to give 10 to an anime I am watching, if I liked it's first episode. Final score may be lowered.
Likewise my scores are skewed by the way anime ends heavily. If I like the ending, then I probably will score the anime high.
I don't believe, that personal list should represent the bell curve (because this is not statistics, but personal judgement). And if you believe it should, you can consider my scored list a bell curve with no top half.
Also I actually make some lazy effort to lower some scores on anime retroactively.
Scoring (although it shouldn't be taken too seriously)
10-8 - Anime I loved. Just that. Anime with 10 score are what I can generally consider my favorites, while 9 and 8 are almost at that point. A lot of series that are now scored 9 or 8 I may originally score 10 and then lower, because there's another anime with similar feeling that does it better for me.
7-5 - Anime, that bored me, but I still usually watch those to the end or it may include anime with boring ending or one I didn't like.
4-1 - Anime I consider extremely boring, but that I had foolishly tried to watch. I rarely finish this kind of anime (hence rarely score). Also I rarely start them as I have a keen sense of what I might like and don't start watching anime on a whim, usually having watched trailers, read Day 1 reviews or researched into source and it's reception. Or all of the above.
As of 10.04.2022 I haven't scored anything 1, because I don't watch anime I despise like that. I once scored a 2, but then reconsidered the score.
Last to first

I hate the absence of [left] tag, since I love my spoilers centered, but lists uncentered.
