| nah, i don't think there's anything wrong with that. if you enjoy the series and feel it deserves a 10, give it a 10. just because other people's opinions don't match your own doesn't make yours invalid. the elitists can be kinda snobby, don't let them get into your head. |

| No but since I use my ratings as rankings too (and many others do too, it seems), I like to use as much of the rating scale as I can. |
| Lol, nope. If you feel it's the score it deserves, go ahead. It's your opinion, after all. |
 |
| if people are bugging you about giving too many 10s, you can bug them about not giving enough 10s. |

| A 10 out of 10 score means that an anime is a good as it can possible get for you. It's perfection in your eyes (not literally, as perfection doesn't exist and would be boring if it did). The problem with having a lot of 10's on a list is that your scoring for anime get's skewed and a 10/10 suddenly becomes pretty meaningless. In a perfect world, everyone's scoring average would be a 5/10, assuming they're watched enough anime that is. Looking at your list rn, it's basically saying that FMA is just as good as FMA:B and Kill La Kill is just as good as both of them as well, not to mention that Attack On Titan is equal to the three of them. If that's not true in your eyes, then it's a problem with your scoring system. Just using my list for the sake of comparison (not saying my taste is any better than yours), I don't have a 10 out of 10 listed anyway on my list. To the person looking at my list, that means that a 10 out of 10 has meaning, and if I suddenly give a show a 10 out of 10, that means that show obviously did something to warrant that. That's all there is to it, really. (of course my list isn't complete cause I don't list shows I haven't rewatched in a while, so for all I know I could have 50 10 outta 10's just waiting to be watched) |
| Anime sucks. |
| I have like thirty 10s so I agree - Do what you want man. |

| Seems like you're relatively new to this site and probably just starting to watch anime; I was at that point a few months ago and i'd recommend ignoring what the "elitists" think. You'll find there are a lot of cynics on MAL and at times the toxicity is just disgusting. Some weabs on this site will rashly go out of their way to drag them down to their level - ignore them and stay true to your opinions. Don't let other people judge your ratings/opinions, your "taste" and understanding of what makes a good anime will develop as you continue to watch more series. In the beginning, I also just started out with AoT and thought it was the best thing ever. Recently, i've started adjusting my ratings, especially my 10s simply because i've seen better and started to notice flaws. |
  ~ |
| I personally just see it as being lazy (though I'm not really one to talk considering how lazy I am). I mean if you really enjoyed them that much, at least spend a minute to think about the score, compare your 10's together, did you really enjoy all of them equally that much? If not, lower the scores of the ones you didn't as much as the others and keep doing so til you've gone through them. Congratulations, you just set up your standards. Eventually when enjoyment alone isn't enough anymore, you can start factoring in the other aspects of anime. But don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna complain about anyone's scores. You're free to rate whatever you want however you want. |

| Let's think positive Many people on MAL like you.Nothing wrong with that.They just enjoy that they pick. But i think your should give 10 rating for your favourite series And rest of them you give 9 or 8 And it's only about taste.So don't worry with that |

| Elitists get on my nerves. There's nothing wrong with giving a lot of 10s. It's your own opinion. When I read the reviews on shows, they all have people who rate them 10s and 4s. Keep enjoying anime the way you want to enjoy it :-) |
| There's a couple wrong things about it, but I rather keep my thoughts for myself I don't wanna end up "triggering" anyone. Anyways feel free to scored as you want, however if you can at least use the full-scale system that'll be great. -Mastergold |
 |
| I would say that if more than 10% of your ratings are 10/10. Then you either dont take your ratings seriously or dont know how to use a full-rating scale. This however applies if you have at least 100 completed anime. |
| For me, a 10 is given only for the best of the best, masterpieces that changed my way of thinking in some way. When i rate something, i tend to think things like "Is this show equal, better or worse than this show with many similarities?" or "would i recommend this having watched already this show?" For me, a list is a ranking. Ofc, you can do whatever you want. It's your list, but i consider most lists with many 10 boring. It's just my opinion. |
 |
| If you enjoyed it enough to give it a 10 then you should rate it a 10, and to hell with what people think? For me, 10s are rare, although my rating are mostly based on my enjoyment of the anime. But no, there is nothing wrong with giving a lot of anime a 10. |
| No. i mean why not. what's wrong w/ giving a lots of 9 or 10 in rating scale. i had a mean score of 9 and evenmore i watched a lot of anime but i didn't update my list w/ that. so most of it, only tagged for watching while i had completed it. what's wrong w/ that anyway? To be a picky. to choose for the best anime to offer and not watching lame,boring anime. why not. the question would be, what's wrong w/ people watching bad,torturing anime? are they all a Masochist? this is not making any sense at all? |
| Mushoku Tensei is the best harem light novel out there and Rudeus is my man'. . . |
| The "watch better anime" meme is retarded. |
| Asking this question is the only inherently wrong thing. Also, the idea that 10/10 scores are meaningless if you give many of them shouldn't even be considered beyond the own and personal preference. It's you the one who defines the meaning of your ratings, not an arbitrary construction that gives a status of exclusivity to this rating. Again, not an issue if you want to consider this for yourself and your rating system but please do not shove it down other's throats and assume it's some kind of objective truth, because it gives false ideas and leads to misinterpretation on the way other people rate. And we have threads like this one as a result :P |
| Who cares. Use your list however you like. Ignore people like me who wants show off that sick low mean score. |
 |
| Oh yay, another thread for people to bash phantom "elitists". Just what AD needed. OP, at a whopping six anime completed whatever anyone says about rating distributions won't really apply to you since your sample size is way too small. In any case, there's nothing inherently wrong with using the 10 rating a lot. However, the more often you use a 10 the less that 10 is likely to mean to others. Rating using only high scores limits your range of expression. If you're okay with that, that's fine, but don't act like those who use the full scale hate anime and/or are doing something bad. |
| It's fine if you rate anime off of your enjoyment. But if your suppose to be critical, then giving out a lot of 10s isn't really good. I rate my anime off of my enjoyment. |
 "The sun is my enemy, but the moon has been good to me." |
| No. In fact, if you're honestly watching so many shows that are 10/10-worthy, then share them with the rest of the class. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| No, everyone's opinion is different. Now can we please stop copy+pasta-ing threads everywhere? of course no ones gonna listen, god i love mal <3 |
 |
| Not really, because plenty of people already do it. One more won't make much of a difference. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Nothing will change unless all users scores like 10/10 or 9/10. I mean different people uses the scoring system on MAL differently. And, hell do I even care about how you score? No. |
| Do what you want and ignore those people. |
| It really doesn't matter. Many people doing that inflates means scores but that doesn't matter either. If you think something's a 10, rate it a 10. Besides, you gave Kill la Kill a 10, so you're cool regardless. |
 |
| 10's are a whole different thing. One man's masterpiece can be another's garbage. As long as you don't fill your entire list with 10's and 9's, and use MAL's full rating scale, I don't think there's anything wrong with having multiple anime rated 10. |

| Yes, that means you're not a true anime fan. On a serious note, no. No one cares what you rate shit man, unless they're like triggered by that shit. |
VariFox said: No, everyone's opinion is different.

And if you call them out for it, they'll get defensive and say some garbage like "omg this is totally different, I just added something new!!!1!" It's basically blending bs and then people think it's something new. Just get used to it tbh. |
| There's nothing inherently wrong or bad about anything so... |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| No it doesn't matter. Its your list. >.> |
| It will cause people to view you as a peasant. |
 |
| Nothing is inherently wrong. Right and wrong, good and evil are human concepts and gain their meaning only within certain systems. If you reject those systems or simply aren't part of them these terms have no inherent meaning. So no. Nothing elitist about not throwing around 10s all day tho. Just people who value using the whole rating system, differentiating between different degrees of enjoyment they get out of series. Or just wanting to be able to give your absolute favorites that extra edge to set them apart from other series you 'just' liked. Don't be so insecure and project the elitist boogeyman onto everyone who doesn't do exactly the same things you do just so you can tell yourself that your way is the right way and all those other people are 'elitists' or whatever for having a different method or philosophy. People have normal reasons for not being and acting like you, it's not because they're assholes. At least most of the time. |

| I probably regret this post by now. |
| if its worth for 10 then go ahead, its your list and opinion after all but for me in ratings on mainly focus in my enjoyment. like why i should rates story for comedy anime, same as why i should rate comedy for serious ones. but who cares about ratings. |
  |
| There is nothing wrong with giving a lot of 10/10. but the problem is if a lot of your shows are 10/10, what is the difference between the low end 10/10 and high end ones? I feel like there is a lot of 10/10 because scores like 6/10 have negative connotation while it is a good score; above average. I like to stretch the scoring system to utilize the lower numbers too. Why do everybody have to use 7+/10 and forget that numbers 1(0) ~ 6/10 exist? in my opinion it helps me differentiate many shows when i use more numbers. |
