I give a 4 to anime that were just barely good enough to finish. If the last episode is even sorta decent, it’s often a 6. I have given a 1 to an anime once, when it was not quite bad enough to drop after episode 1 and made a huge step down in episode 2. If I drop after 1 episode, it doesn’t even make it to my list.
I treat all 1 to 10 rating scales like 1 to 5 scales. 1 through 5 just means 0, imo.

Seems logical. I give at least a 5 to everything I find interesting enough to watch and complete of own volition.
If I gave it below 5, then I either watched it in a social setting or dropped it at some point.
Of course this means that my rating is skewed in favour of my tastes (duh).
