I don't have time nor the motivation to watch as much anime as I once did...
I like to put quotes from memorable anime I watch in my list.
Note: I am usually very careful with the types of anime/manga I start and drop stuff that I don't like pretty regularly, so expect most of my completed anime/manga to have higher scores on average.
10/10: Something that has affected me deeply on an emotional level. Usually, these stories fundamentally change the way I view the medium or the world in general. They don't necessarily have to be flawless (as nothing really is), but they need to leave a lasting impression that sticks with me for years to come. Life is worth living as long as I can continue experiencing these.
9/10: Amazing stories that I had a blast experiencing; I would not mind rewatching/rereading these. They may not affect me in a fundamental way like a 10/10, but they still resonate with me in many ways. Sometimes, a 9/10 may still be one of my favorites.
8/10: Stories that contain a few noticeable flaws, but I still enjoyed quite a bit. They usually do not leave that much of a lasting impression, but I do not regret experiencing them at all. This is sort of the threshold in terms of whether I would actively recommend it to other people or not.
7/10: Good stories that contain a decent number of flaws. I usually do not enjoy these completely from beginning to end, but I still enjoy most of it. I go into stories hoping that it's higher than this score, but I still don't regret experiencing these.
6/10: Stories that are OK. They either have a lot of noticeable flaws, or I just didn't enjoy it that much. I still respect the story for what it was trying to accomplish, and I certainly do enjoy some parts, but I may not have experienced the story if I knew it would be a 6/10 beforehand.
5/10: Meh stories. They're not good by any means, but they're not terrible either. I drop most that are this score because I want to experience better, but sometimes I get hooked on some specific parts and may complete it.
4/10: Bad stories with many flaws. I do not particularly enjoy reading/watching them and feel unsatisfied/unfulfilled after completing them (if I do at all). There may still be one or two elements that I think is decent which prevent me from immediately dropping it.
3/10: Terrible stories. If I complete them, it's because it's a "so bad it's good" story. I would actively discourage people from experiencing these (unless you like laughing at bad storytelling)
2/10: Abysmal stories that I had a terrible time with. No redeeming qualities here. I will likely drop these immediately or will not be interested in the first place, so it's unlikely I will ever have a completed anime/manga with this score.

Your list also looks good, even though I've haven't seen any of your favorites (>w<)
What anime/manga are you currently working on?
How are you doing? :)
