| I mean the ratings of the mangas are shuffling like at madman. Manga like 20th Century Boys and Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan where standing on the very top and are over taken by other works some of those works where even finished already that time and still managed to overtake those names. Also One piece for example is like going downhill i noticed by following the anime only to be honest. But still it's the same story even if de anime is slower paced the arcs arcs not actually getting better after the time skip. Yet still it seems to be having a high score anyway. These are just two examples. The main reason is the very hipster way of hyping it up. Once a manga gets a anime adaption the manga seems to be f*cking sky rocking. Which make my think is this really not a totally biased way of rating instead of actually rating the manga only? What do you guys think? Also srry for my bad late night drinking engrisch. |

| People just rate light novels too damn high |
 |
| A small amount of readers all rating a series a 9 or 10. It happens with anime too, just look at all the gintama in the rankings, small size sample. |
 |
| No. How Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria can be rated so high blows my mind. |
| how can you say One Piece after time-skip is going downhill? the arc that just finished was one of the best.. and why are you comparing anime to manga rating? |
| I think the manga list is okay, a lot of standouts from their respective genres and demographics but the light novel list makes me cringe, I can't lie. I don't think MAL is exactly a great place to look at light novel ratings just because what's actually translated in English (legally or not) is not much so there's less competition. At least, I think realistically the ratings would look different if there were more translated light novels. For example, probably more original series and less light novel adaptations of manga (e.g. Death Note Another Note, Ao Haru Ride, Akatsuki no Yona, etc). |

| Ehh, majority of mangas aren't translated, while majority of animes are. Most manga (or LN) ratings are a result of a very few number of ratings, so they aren't really indicative of anything. Actually, tons of manga aren't even on the database yet, and it's very true that getting an anime adaptation attracts attention from us (the West), to something we otherwise may not even realize exists. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| That is because the manga ratings on MAL are strongly affected by the popularity of a series. When a manga series gets an anime adaption, it will get a blow of votes. And because the rating uses a Bayesian rating system, it's starts to sky rocketing. When the series is over and the popularity drops, the series is going back to it's normal rating. It's like people change their vote after a series is completed. It would be better that MAL would have an option to separate completed series from ongoing ones. As completed series have a permanent vote, while ongoing series have the benefit of the doubt, so they have a temporary vote. For example Cage of Eden, this was a very good series and it was rated very high when it was an ongoing series, but when it was ended in three chapters suddenly in a rush it's rating dropped almost with two points. And that is a lot for the Bayesian estimate. |
| There's always a big majority who love things, but there are others who don't like it. So, it's all about taste. |
 |
| You can always rely on my rating buddy. |
| Are you mad? The rate are subjetives |
| This is MAL, nothing should be taken seriously. |

| Highly doubt, but I usually look at they to devide if I should read. |
 |
| When have MAL ratings every been taken seriously? |
Maria_Perez said: On the contrary, so many mangas are also high ranked but don't deserve it all--best example is Fairytail. But I don't know what you mean about One Piece going down. It's STILL the best manga. The new arc itself is amazing. lol hating on Fairy Tail. Reason = One Piece fan. |
| Fairy Tail is just the poor man's One Piece. |
 > "i think Youtube is a pretty cool guy. eh sucks viacoms dick and doesn’t afraid of anything" - anon Ban me plz |
| I think when they're adapted into anime, manga scanners go for those so they can get more publicity towards their group, then more people start reading the manga because the anime didn't end at a part they liked or they don't really think anime is as good as manga so they check it out. |
