Rating Attributes are the five dimensions a Scout can score on each AnimeOshi episode - Soundtrack, Visual, Emotion, Writing, and Impact - which are surfaced as a five-axis radar so the shape of an episode's score is visible, not just the overall number.
A single overall score tells you how good an episode was, but not why. The Rating Attributes break that judgment into five fixed dimensions, so a great soundtrack episode reads differently from a great writing episode. They sit alongside the 1–5 star score in the rating flow and feed the attribute radar on each episode page.
AnimeOshi uses one fixed, global default set of five Rating Attributes. They are the same on every episode:
Soundtrack
Music quality and how well it fits the episode
Visual
Animation quality
Emotion
Emotional impact
Writing
Story and dialogue quality
Impact
Overall significance of the episode
When a fan rates an episode, they give a 1–5 star score and can optionally score the five attributes. The star score feeds the episode's OshiMeter (the headline number, stored 0–100 and usually shown as a 0–10 score). The attribute scores are aggregated separately and surfaced as their own averages, so the OshiMeter answers "how good?" while the attributes answer "good at what?"
On the episode page, the five attribute averages are drawn as a five-axis radar chart. The shape of that radar is the quick read: a spike on Visual and Soundtrack with a dip on Writing tells you it was a spectacle episode that was light on story, even if the overall OshiMeter is the same as a quieter, writing-driven episode. Seeing the shape, not just the number, is the point of breaking the score into attributes.
The attribute set is a fixed global default rather than something each anime or user configures. Keeping the same five dimensions across every episode means attribute scores are comparable site-wide: a high Emotion episode of one series can be read against a high Emotion episode of another, because both were scored on the same axis.
Q: What does "Emotion" mean as a rating attribute?
Emotion is short for emotional impact. How strongly the episode landed emotionally. It is one of the five Rating Attributes, alongside Soundtrack, Visual, Writing, and Impact.
Q: What is the difference between "Emotion" and "Impact"?
Emotion measures the episode's emotional impact specifically, while Impact measures its overall significance. How much the episode mattered to the series or stuck with you beyond the emotional beat.
Q: Do I have to score all five attributes when I rate an episode?
No. The 1–5 star score is the required input; scoring the five attributes is optional. Scoring them adds detail to the episode's attribute radar.
Q: Can the set of attributes change per anime?
No. The five Rating Attributes are a fixed global default and are the same on every episode, which keeps attribute scores comparable across the whole site.
