All factors u mentioned will cause inaccuracy in your ratings.

So what would be "accurate" then?  Can you have "accurate" ratings?
Ratings, being completely subjective, can't really be assigned to accuracy beyond what the person believes.

Assassinator Wrote:Rating based on the 1st few episodes may be inaccurate because the 1st few episodes may not reflect the rest of the anime.

No, it's because you aren't rating the series, but rating the first few episodes (and perhaps what you think the rest is like).

Assassinator Wrote:Rating when you've only watched things from a single genre leads to a narrower scope, and less basis to make a comparison on, and thus it will also effect the accuracy of your ratings.

The magnitude of the inaccuracy will depend on the magnitude of the factors. So u can't really say that your ratings when you've watched no other genre will necessarily be more accurate than the ratings when u only watched the 1st few episodes either. I all depends on how many of the starting episodes u watched, what kind of anime it is, how much did u limit yourself to one genre and heaps of other factors.

So, what should you do then?  Try all those factors?  Opinions are opinions, nothing else.  They may appear "inaccurate" in one's eyes, but can't be considered "wrong".
So as you've said, watching more than one genre doesn't guarantee more "accurate" ratings, just like saying x may equal 10 doesn't necessarily help you find x.  So point doesn't work :P


Lol @ off-topic-ness.
