Trust me, SD gundam deserves negative ratings if it could. I swear watching something that god awful took more years off my life then smoking ever could.
Oh, and it was the "superior defender" one. Whoever allowed that to be shown on television needs to be flogged. |

TBH, I'd like to see the number of times that a series has been marked as "Will Not Finish", as I think that's a better indication of a series' quality. I think seeing a show with a high number of "Will Not Finish" classifications would indicate that a lower quality, if a lot of people can't even force themselves through it. I haven't used the "Worst Ever" rating for any of the shows in my anime list but that's because, if I think it looks like a series is drifting into "Worst Ever" territory, I quit watching it. I will give a rating based on the parts I did watch (hence why I gave Haruhi and FLCL "Weak" and "Bad", respectively), but I don't think it's valid to call something the worst ever without watching the whole thing.

The problem with that is there would be way too many options and the ratings would be too spread out. Maybe this would work better: Worship it Buy it Rent it Watch it drunk Burn it |

I'm fine with the rating system. I'm a lot like quite a few posters here, concerned about the spamming of ratings more than anything else. Otherwise, skewing to the higher end is perfectly normal, because everyone pursues the genre they like. My ratings are also top heavy.
The idea of the rating system is just a loose benchmark. For me, I try to check out every anime that's on the top 50, and anything within my genre (which is almost everything anyways) within the top 200. I've been using that way of choosing my anime for awhile now, and everything that I came across thus far, has been at least a "very good" watch, so I think overall, the law of average is doing fine. |

I like the current 0-10 scale, personally. I find that, for people who put thought into their ratings, it produces more revealing results. I have not yet given anything the "Worst Ever" rating, but several series have gotten close. I like to be able to judge in subtle shades, rather than outright recommendations or denunciations.

I like the rating system in ANN right now. I was just updating my anime watched list and ratings. Most of my ratings are either good, execellent or on the the average side.
I only awarded 3 masterpiece ratings (Rurouni Kenshin, Samurai X and the 12 Kingdoms) and I gave 1 really awful - worst ever rating (Samurai X - Reflections). 
I was just browsing through TV Asahi's 2006 top 10 ranking. I do this often, my main concern is to look at how Candy Candy is ranked, this is the first anime I watched when I was 10 years old in the late 70s. It is still ranked top 10-20 despite a court battle that could very well see an end to this cult classic. It's a pity Candy Candy was never aired in the US. This is a powerful anime for girls aged 10-14. Of course, nowadays, I also look out for Mobile Suit Gundam which was released shortly after Candy Candy. Looks like MS Gundam is going to out live Candy Candy.  Can't believe it!

Worth buying blind Worth watching and buying individual discs Worth buying the boxed set Worth buying the cheap on-sale boxed set Worth renting Worth archiving on the hard disk Delete from HD, but worth burning to DVDR, Delete and don't waste a DVDR Don't waste your bandwidth on this crap Don't even watch it on YouTube Do Not Want! *even though I know that's not the kind of "burn" you were going for...

My two cents on modifying Zalis' rating methods:
...by standing in the line two days before the first sale in order to get No. 0001 of its serial-numbered limited edition. Two copies if necessary.
...and I'll continue hating you till the end of my life if you give me a limited edition as my birthday present.

Both mistress_reebi's and Zalis116's rating systems are interesting, IMO. Although, I think mistress_reebi's is too short because it's only a 5 point scale.

I see only one flaw. You burn DVDs?

I love the list, but one problem is that I tend to buy 90%+ of my titles blindly since most everything is pre-ordered and I never download anime. The 10% is mainly titles that are classics (like the IATV releases) or remastered/remixed DVDs. When I saw the mention of "Burn It" I had the image of throwing the DVD into the fireplace since I don't own a burner, but do use the fireplace often for getting rid of shipping boxes. |

lol, I was thinking more of a public burning in the town square with a priest spreading incease around the fire, while praying outloud. I guess I should have clarified the option. You don't have recycling? |

And of course, I do mean no offense to Randall and all the other non-downloaders out there; it's just a little tongue-in-cheek humor at the practicalities of piracy partaking. And though I didn't use [sarcasm] tags, I certainly don't really mean that "everyone" gets fansubs. |
