the way I review shows now is simple on the surface. I simply ask myself "is show x better or worse than show y?" if x is something I rate as a 5, and y is "better" then I have to ask if show y is "better or worse" than show z that I have rated as a 6 i didn't realy add "numbers" to my ratings until I had clear enough "cutoff points" between "quality" of shows. I basically just ordered my list of shows by their "quality"
Scoring anime just seems like a competition within the anime community, I still have my anime scored on Anilist because my buddy was reviewing everyone's list, and if I hadn't seen over 500 shows, I'd absolutely turn them all to zero. If someone wants to know what I think, just ask me, and I'll be like "Dr. Stone is pretty good" and then we can have a conversation back and forth as to what we liked, what we didn't like. #AnilistOverMal
I honestly don't like most of the "standard" formatted reviews. My reason is simple - they usually don't tell why the show is worth watching nor tell why they liked the show (or do a bad job at that). Giving me a number if I don't know you and how your scoring works, leads to just a rough estimation with moderate variance. However, I think scoring (of masses) on e.g. MAL is still pretty useful, because it can give an overall and a relative estimate of how good a show is. Take it with a pinch of salt though. I still use MAL to score anime - I just use my own scoring, which is based on how much enjoyment does a show enduce. I think of scores as tiers. Surprizingly, it correlates very well with stabilized (post airing) scores lol Scoring is still not very indicative of shows' exact "worth", but it seems to be a useful method for comparing shows from different genres.
