| Yeah. I don't understand the "I don't drop anime" concept. Why continue watching something you know is shitty? Masochism? But I guess I'm already picky about the anime I start so there's a higher chance I'll like it, hence a higher scoring. |
 |
| From my perspective its the opposite, they keep watching animu even though its bad in search of suitable animu (for their taste and req). I think its love that drive them this way. |

Kona_Kana said: No, I like anime and my mean score is 3.32 Ah nice to know there's actually people who do so that post on this thread. Do you feel that some of your 1s are highly better than your other 1s or something like that? Because as for me, I pick any shows, from high ranked one on MAL, middly, low, until the abysmal, and those which is on the enlightment chart and also club relations of "Uber-Elitist" club (because I don't wanted to only can say that I've seen better than "popular-and-good" shows, but also wanted to say that I've seen worse than some "popular-but-bad" shows) |

EmperorQ said: Since you're one of the rare people who has over a day watched per anime I'm not surprised that you would have a high mean score. My mean score of anime I've spent more than 18 hours on is 9.1.zombie_pegasus said: Usually after 7 or 8 episodes should be enough to hook me, except for a super long series like one piece that took about 15.At what point do you usually drop an anime, though? Is it three episodes, one episode, or even just 15 minutes? There are plenty of anime shorter than all of these; in fact the median length of all anime is just three episodes. I rarely drop anime that are under 15 minutes long, hence the reason why they make up 92% of my 1s, 86% of my 2s, 68% of my 3s, and 61% of my 4s. |

| It's possible that some people are really critical when it comes to rating their anime but if you're not a reviewer or critic, I don't see the point in finishing a show that you're going to eventually rate poorly. If I don't like where a show is going I just drop it, why bother wasting my time not having fun just so I can rate it a low score? I stumbled upon someone's profile once and saw they had a mean score of 3. I checked their list and found that 75% of their scored anime were anime shorts that were less than 5-10 minutes in length and when you go to the respective anime's page they were all shit anime. Not shit as in my opinion is shit but anime that is literally atrocious, all of them had a rating of less than 4. Anime like this but not this exact one, just proving my point on how bad they are. I immediately thought why this person even bothers doing this, just so they can look "cool" cause they have a super low mean score? Ridiculous if you ask me. In my opinion, everyone should have a mean score around between 5-8. 5 being you are a tough rater, 8 being you are a more forgiving one. If you have a score lower than 4, what are you doing with your time? Why not pick stuff you'll enjoy... End rant. |

   |
| no. they like anime. maybe they're tsundere :P another reason: because they add too much anime like shitcom (and also similar with it), boku no pico (and also similar with it), ergo proxy, pupa, and tatami galaxy on their list. and it affects the overall mean score |
| I mean, if they have a below 4.00 mean score that means the average anime they watch they think is bad, which isn't really a good thing. |

Cardcaptor Sakura also had great fight scenes but spent more time on character and relationship development. Akira, having no characters, spent all of its time on the fights and therefore had no characters to relate to and it was even hard to know who to cheer for since often the hero and the villain looked similar.

| If they don't hate anime by now even after watching so many shows they think are bad, then they have to be masochists. But I think either they aren't good at picking anime that are more in line with their taste, use their own rating system and/or compare apples to oranges while judging and rating a particular anime, or are just plain old elitists. |

I also have always been a sucker for action. Thanks for sharing your perspective. |
| I don't think they hate anime. They've just seen bad ones and few good ones in their opinion. And maybe they used the MAL scores correctly. |
Protaku said: Yeah they probably sing "hello darkness my old friend" in bed until they fall asleep too. Made my day with that *Cries* that was a good laugh |

| No, because most anime are bad. Most of everything is bad, really. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I think they might not hate all anime. But it is certain that they might have disliked 80-90 percent of the stuff they watched (like the Kona_Kana guy above) - since they obviously have a lot of low scores that have to be lower than 5 where it gets bad - even if you are one of the guys that says "5 is still okay or good". Still leaves 10 percent of stuff you can like. You also can roughly guess that they might not have a lot of other hobbies and about 100 percent of their free time (when they are not at work or school and not sleeping) is being spent on anime. Since a person with other hobbies probably would just prefer doing a fun activity other than watching bad anime (other hobby). But that isn't possible if you only have anime as hobby. Those guys are dedicated to anime a lot - so they will watch almost every minute in their free time and even watch the worst stuff they don't lke. |
| Funny, I see some people in this thread complaining about a 4.00 mean score, but on other threads I'd see them yell "let anime fans like what they like and dislike what they dislike. None of your business". Hmmmmmmm, I find that quite interesting fellow MAL weebs. |

Everyone here is anonymous so it's cringey this would even be a thought in their minds. Also, these threads are meant to discuss anime, whether it be negative opinions on anime or positive ones. But it never seems like there is any room to discuss or analyze anime on the threads because people get pissy about a 4.00 mean score and yell "elitist, boo. Stop having an opinion, it offends my taste in animu". Jesus. I saw a ton of users give some of my favorite series a 4 or below, and I don't even bat an eye about it even when they talk shit about the show on the forums. Lol it's a mean score yall, no need to overthink it... Kona_Kana said: No, I like anime and my mean score is 3.32 RUN! All the people who complain that animu fans should do what they want will tell you to stop doing what you want. You guys, it is written under the weeb laws "If there is something you do that I would not enjoy doing, then I must make you feel bad about it and tell you to stop watching animu". Underneath that it states "Anyone with a meanscore under 6 must die; because blah blah elitist, blah blah assume they'll make fun of me for my top 10 and calling my favs generic, blah blah judge taste in animu because that will tell us if they're the devil or not". |

| They most likely have a different rating system. For others who don't, the thing I don't understand is people watching (and completing) anime they end up not liking on a regular basis. I can understand trying out new things and seeing whether you like it or not, but doing this again and again when you know it's something you'll definitely dislike is insane. Why waste time and effort on something you don't like (on a regular basis) is the main question here. |

People can have lots of different reasons for still wanting to complete shows they don't like. Giving anime a low score doesn't mean they can't get some enjoyment out of them.

| No, they are either very critical (or masochists), or as ^^ mentioned, they have a different rating system, where 4/10 is the average or something. But if someone's mean score is less than 3 I would assume that they are exaggerating. Just as you should "ideally" rarely rate shows as high as a 9 or 10, you should just as rarely rate as low as a 1 or 2. |
| BS, my mean score is 4.17 and I love Anime. When I give a show a low rating it doesn't necessarily mean that I didn't have fun watching it, it just means that it's a bad show. And please stop with that "if you don't like, don't watch it" garbage |
| what |
| im pretty sure it has to do with how they rate things for me a 6 or 7 is an average score for an average anime but some people may do it 4-5 |

Also, muggles who can't appreciate Lucky Star. Hatred! |
| It would be silly to make baseless presumptions by going off of nothing more than a single number. If that person only rates 1-5, then a mean score of 4 is really quite high. There are other people who rate different types of anime (shorts, movies, TV series, etc) in different manners, which can affect their score - I personally have a cap of 8 for single episode OVAs, so as to not devalue my 9s and 10s. I've even seen one person who only reserves 1 and 2 for negative scores, with 3 being average and 4+ all being positive scores. I believe the idea behind it was that they don't watch to spend much time differentiating between below average, bad, shit, awful, etc - they either didn't like it (2) or they hated it (1). This tanked their score since their most common score was a 3, which is a perfectly fine score by their standards. There are far too many extraneous variables to just make a baseless presumption. Everyone has their own methods of scoring, and the notion that someone would spend lots of time and effort consuming the anime medium even if they didn't like the majority of it is a strange one indeed.

NO ONE forced you to waste your time if thats all you can say about the show. i mean sure you have all the right in the world to finish it, but as an entertainment medium, i just can't understand why you'd force yourself knowing you though im sure you'd have some interesting reasons to keep watching |

I watch a lot of OVA and ONA myself, mostly because I want to finish the entirety of any given series. what the fuck? what the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK!!?? Read through my post again, just read through it.. just do it.. A short comedy anime might be exactly what some people are looking for on their weekends, who would I am to ciriticize them for it? I also pick up alot of Short Series / OVA through the seasonal anime. It's more about completionism. The same applies to not dropping anime, even if you rate them as bad or horrible or worse - maybe you're intending to write a review, maybe you want to complete the anime just to be able to argue why the show is good/bad, maybe completionism in itself is something you strive for, or maybe you want to give the anime a chance to get better or you get some other enjoyment out of it. It's not as if that'd be some foreign concept. Look at some of the platinum gaming trophies out there, which sometimes make you hate even your favorite game. Who even unironically claims himself to be "elitist"? That's the exact same thing I was just arguing for a while ago. You'd find that out if you bothered to read through the thread.. Watch all the fucking ONAs and OVAs you want.. All I was saying is that people exist that watch them only to rate them low and lower their mean scores. |
Mamster-P said: ive seen so many times completed 25/25 score: 1 THIS ANIME WAS COMPLETE GARBAGE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT GOT SO POPULAR when i see that, i just can't help but LMAO... its like..... NO ONE forced you to waste your time if thats all you can say about the show. i mean sure you have all the right in the world to finish it, but as an entertainment medium, i just can't understand why you'd force yourself knowing you though im sure you'd have some interesting reasons to keep watching Sure, their explanation there might not be the best, but there's more to it than what you see at the surface. I'd go into detail and write one of my usual long-winded posts but I really can't be bothered atm lol. Been up since 4:30am, my brain is tired. ^^ |
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |

It's time to move on fam.. wow, tell that to the people who make the same thread topics every week..... then maybe ill disappear.... not that its not other sites on the internet that brought me here in the first place -___- oh and insecure ppl ive met irl...... them too -___- I don't want you to disappear. This has been explained to you over a thousand times to you by now. Have you ever seen me berating on people who have higher mean scores or watch anime just for the oppai? NO. I understand that some people just want to enjoy anime without trying to think too hard about it and there's nothing wrong with it. Likewise, there's nothing wrong with doing the opposite either.. |
join the club, fam. flannan said: 1) It's fine enough argument, in my opinion. I'm not going to give up liking anime, and I'm not going to give up being russian. This is part of who I am. I do not expect non-anime-fans to appreciate [insert anime name here], and I do not expect americans to appreciate smetana. But both are missing out on good things. 2) Similarly, just because MAL doesn't stop users from having an average rating below 5, it does not mean it's not considered wrong. umm...we...you see muh man... There is a difference between having the feeling of never wanting to give up something you love, and then never even having that as an option. And no, not a "but anime is a part of me" type of option, I am speaking biologically here... Who decides what score is wrong? You don't, I don't, and nobody else does. We can only decide for ourselves, so you need to stop with this idea that opinions and taste cannot be that flexible. |

Been up since 4:30am, my brain is tired. ^^ i trust you on this one, but can you really blaming me for being like "WTF? why'd you even watch?" when i see that? kamisama751 said: You got tired of it but you will respond anyway? What is the difference between your mentality and the one who finishes some bad shows? Jeez, yu are bashing yourselves. Go make some sense next time. :D yes, i got tired of constantly seeing things bashed and wondering what the problem was to the point where i had to start asking on here and annoying the shit out of people with my opinions like ive said before, i can't go anywhere anime related or avoid discussion that won't eventually end up in ppl whining. avoiding AD will not help.

I understand that some people just want to enjoy anime without trying to think too hard about it and there's nothing wrong with it. Likewise, there's nothing wrong with doing the opposite either.. no one said you did anything wrong, the problem with these things is that they DO affect people. you can't pretend with all the insecurity we see on this site, that people are not affected by other peoples comments, trolling, shitposting or not lets take the ecchi thing for example, since you know, i never seem to shut up about it, or at least, thats all ppl pay attention to me not shutting up about. anyway NO ONE can deny that theres MANY MANY people out there and on this site who are afraid of what others will think of them if they find out that they like ecchi. correct? well guess what... its more important to me that the ecchi fans see someone who'll willing to to fight against the hate it gets more so than it is to change anyone's mind, which was never my goal ive been told many times that i've made people feel better about the things they like in anime, as im obviously not someone who allows themselves to be walked all over. i don't think anyone truly wants to be walked all over. well if i can help ppls self esteem even just a little bit, im going to keep doing it no matter how much backlash i get from ppl with opposing viewpoints |

Really just boils down to how well people can argue their position. I think a lot of problems boil down to this; people who aren't good at critiquing and expressing their opinion tar everyone with a bad name. So many problems would be solved if people took a little more time into explaining the whys and hows. |
