10 - Masterpiece
A perfect 10 is reserved for manga and anime that leave an indelible mark on me, transcending the medium. These works excel in storytelling, character development, art quality, music composition, and emotional impact. Every aspect harmonizes perfectly, creating an experience that resonates deeply long after the last page is turned or the credits roll. The themes explored are profound and relatable, often challenging societal norms or personal beliefs. Minor flaws, if any, are negligible and do not detract from the overall brilliance. These titles are iconic, setting a standard for excellence.

9 - Great
A score of 9 indicates a manga or anime that is nearly flawless. These works often showcase exceptional storytelling, strong character arcs, and impressive production or art values. They engage the viewer or reader on multiple levels, combining emotional depth with entertainment. While there may be one or two minor issues—like pacing problems or underdeveloped subplots—these do not significantly detract from the overall experience. A 9-worthy title leaves a lasting impression and is highly recommended for anyone seeking quality storytelling and character exploration.

8 - Very Good
Manga or anime scoring an 8 demonstrate solid writing and production values. They feature a compelling plot, well-developed characters, and engaging themes. While there may be some noticeable flaws, such as pacing issues or character arcs that could have been expanded, these works remain enjoyable and satisfying. Their strengths shine through, making them well worth experiencing, especially for fans of the genre. An 8 reflects a strong recommendation and showcases a series that succeeds more than it falters.

7 - Good
A score of 7 signifies a manga or anime that is enjoyable with its own unique charm. While there may be some weaknesses in pacing, character development, or visual consistency, these titles offer an interesting premise and moments that stand out. They might appeal more to specific audiences but still provide a fun and worthwhile experience. A 7 is a positive score, indicating that while the title may not be exceptional, it offers enough merit to be enjoyable, and can be appreciated by fans of the genre or those seeking casual entertainment.

6 - Fine
A score of 6 reflects a manga or anime that, while not outstanding, still has enjoyable elements. These works might not leave a lasting impact, but they can offer light entertainment, with familiar tropes and straightforward plots. Some aspects, like character development or art, might not stand out, but they are far from unpleasant. A 6-rated title can still appeal to casual fans or those looking for a more relaxed viewing or reading experience without high expectations.

5 - Average
A title receiving a score of 5 is balanced, offering an experience that is neither particularly memorable nor disappointing. These works may not stand out for innovation or depth, but they can still provide decent entertainment. While there may be no significant strengths to highlight, they also lack glaring flaws, making them an easy, neutral watch or read. A score of 5 suggests the title is passable and could be enjoyable for viewers or readers looking for something simple and uncomplicated.

4 - Mediocre
A score of 4 suggests a title with some redeeming features but is ultimately lacking in execution. While there may be some interesting concepts or moments, these are overshadowed by problems in pacing, characterization, or visual quality. Still, these works may appeal to niche audiences or fans of a particular genre who can overlook the flaws. A score of 4 indicates that, while the title may not be recommended to everyone, it can still be appreciated by those with specific interests or patience for its shortcomings.

3 - Weak
A title receiving a score of 3 has significant flaws that overshadow most of its potential. Issues like poor pacing, weak characterization, and subpar production values make it difficult to enjoy, but there may still be elements that could intrigue certain viewers or readers. Perhaps it explores a unique theme or has a specific style that appeals to a niche audience. While far from great, a 3-rated title might still hold some value for those with a specific interest in its genre or themes.

2 - Poor
A score of 2 signifies a manga or anime that struggles in nearly all aspects but might still offer occasional glimpses of potential. While the storytelling, characters, and art may be lacking, there could be a few moments or concepts that stand out for the curious or the completionist. A score of 2 suggests that, while not recommended for most, the title could have some interest for those willing to overlook its many flaws for a particular reason, such as an unusual premise or an intriguing but poorly executed concept.

1 - Appalling
A score of 1 represents a complete failure in every aspect. These manga and anime are difficult to sit through, with incoherent storytelling, poor visuals, and characters that fail to engage. While they may occasionally provoke interest due to how bad they are, a 1-rated title is likely to leave viewers or readers frustrated or disappointed. It’s the kind of experience one would advise others to avoid, though it might still hold some appeal for those interested in dissecting or analyzing its flaws.
