| i guess anything that is below a six, but ill always make exceptions |
| A score should not mean anything for you. Some certain group of people can hate an anime and rate it low. The same happens when they want to dethrone an anime so score in MAL doesnt really matter. |
| None because I'm not gonna let a bunch of numbers decide what's good or bad for me. |
  |
| Anything below an 8/10 is unwatchable garbage. |
| between 6.80-7. Depends actually, sometimes i check it why its low and i found some of them doesnt deserve under 7. Under 6.80 is more rarely i watch. |
| I'd rather not start an anime without at least 1 entry at 8.5+. There is enough anime and manga to choose from so I can be picky |
 |
| MAL's scoring is all over the place based off popularity and recency though even for nicher stuff if you get below a 5 you might have problems. A 7.1 might not be good for a popular series but it's a pretty good rating if it's niche or old. So I guess below 5? Mid/early 6s can be okay for some older very niche titles. |
DrSexy said: Since this place has the score and they are one of the first things you usually notice about an anime. What is the range of scores you avoid? Like below a certain score you don't even bother consider watching it. For me I don't usually watch anything with a score below 7. Normal genres - being 6 is mostly shit, but 5 or below is confirmed shit. Ecchi/Hentai - If it exists, it is watchable. |
 |
| All scores are arbitrary. I've seen here shows that I've liked and shows that are atrocious both hovering anywhere between low 7's and high 8's. |
| I get a bit cautious if the score is above 8 |
| Lower than 6.5 but higher than 5, there isn't any enjoyment to be had in that range, usually only boring anime gather such meh scores. |
 |
| I have my seasonal animes listed for winter 2022 that I'm specifically going to look forward the most rather than giving every anime a try since I'm really busy with school and it's a waste of time to grind everything in one season. Most of the anime that I'm looking forward to are mostly sequels or first adaptation from the manga that as a whole and overall rating is from the scale of 7.35-8.50+, but if the anime adaptation reaches below 7.30, I would either still give it a watch or take it off my watch list. |

| I tell myself that the MAL score means next to jack shit, but I'd be lying. In truth, anything in the 6-range I get the impression is trash, the 7-range is mostly well received by the masses but would probably just be OK-ish for me, 8-and-above is the good stuff I guess you could say that I roughly view anything beneath 7.20 negatively, and anything above 7.80 positively, in-between stuff will probably just be meh. Edit: That is, super-ultra-mega-generally speaking |

| i wont avoid it because of a score but if its below a 7 im a little iffy on it |
| bellow a 5 usually means its bad i don't use scores to gauge whether i should watch something i usually ask people with similar tastes what they think about it. |
| under 6 mostly. sometime anime with rating 6 is hidden gem / trash pleasure for me. |

 |
| anything under a 6 is usually a red flag for me |
 |
| Scores less than 8.5, or at max 8 I might consider. I rarely see the ones rated lower than this as per now. |
| if it is below 3. or i will watch everything and rate them low |
You all have to undrestand that Chainsaw man is impossible to adapt without CG. |
| Overrated stuff that don´t deserve to be overrated. |
| Honestly opposite. I like checking shit that has lower than a 7 for the lols. |
 |
| 6 or below, it may depend on other factors though |
 |
| I dont usually avoid anime beacuse of scores. |

| I'm going to say this first, before answering. I don't look at scores, amount of members and how high it is in terms of popularity. A score of below 5,99 is slightly worrisome. |
 |
| Probably the 5-6 range, most popular things are rated higher and ones that have a lower score get my attention for being rated so low, around 5-6 though is the forgettable generic trash. |
| I'll be skeptical of any anime that falls below a 6. That being said, as you can see from my list if it catches my attention that still isn't gonna stop me from at least giving it a chance and checking it out for myself. Anime is such a subjective medium that I'd hate to miss out on something I consider a gem just cause people generally disliked it. I'll decide for myself and all that jazz. |
 |
| i don't pay attention to the scores. |
  |
| None. I watch what I think I might enjoy regardless. I actually think a really bad score would make me curious why it is so bad. I don't pay attention to scores really. I am aware of it being 6 or 7 but it means nothing to me. I don't care if other people liked it. |
| If it has score 8-9 here on mal I'm cautious. |
 |
| I don't pay attention to scores when looking for an anime to watch. IF the story sounds good then I'll watch it. If it doesn't sound good to me then I don't watch it. Rarely have I been disappointed. |
| None. I like watching trash too. Even the burning, smelly trash that stings the eyes. |

| Generally something with a score under 7 And I'm quite suspicious about anime scored between 7 and 7.5, it's a hit-or-miss based on what I've already watched |
| Sounds petty, but anything below a 6. Usually anything below that is there with good reason, but I digress. One man's trash, another man's treasure. |

| None. Even bad things can be entertaining |
 Never watched as much anime as I wanted to |
| i dont avoid animebased on just a number. i watch it and see if it's underrated, overrated, or the rating it deserves |
| boccho is love, boccho is life |
| I try to be fair and exerce subjectivity. That said, I usually am a lot more critical to shows with scores of 6 and less - because I already know that the majority of people found flaws in it. Bad ratings can be tricky tho. 'So bad it's good' is definitely a real phenomenon. |
 |
| scores doesn't matter for me I watch every anime possible |
| aything 9+ is sus anything 8.5-9 is definitely not good |
| 5.5 usually or 6,0 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
