Well, I moved over to Anime-Planet, which uses the 5-star notation. But it allows "half-stars". So, that's still a 0-10 scale.

And see my graph:

However, I still have to make adjustment as I downgraded every item on my list by 1 (half-star) -- except for Haruhi or anything lower than a 4 (or two stars). So, it appears that I have nothing ranked as a 9 (4.5 stars). Simply because, I've been dumping too many into the 9 (4.5 star) category. Instead, I'm going to set a fixed number of series (10% of my completed total) into that category.

The only 10 is reserved for Haruhi.

The rank of 5 (2.5 stars) feels low and punishing. I have my "average" at 7 (3.5 stars). So, I use that as a start value for anything "new" to me. As I watch along, I may increase or decrease that number - depending on how I feel about a series.

The 0-5 scale... I use that for dropped series.
