| After introducing the petition at Lum-Chan.com, we started discussing how to increase UY's rank. I already asked people on Lum-chan to set their score to 10/10. But currently, UY is still only #203. About 50% of people who voted, voted 7-8 out of 10. FallinG_StaR noted that there were 479 people who "Plan to watch it" which is actually MORE people than what that 50% who voted 7-8 total to. If we could get some of these people to vote 9 or 10, that could greatly help. I also noticed that some people who DID vote 9 or 10, haven't completed 1/5 of the anime yet, which means their vote doesn't count to the Ranking. Currently, I believe the EASIEST votes we can probably get are these people: People who HAVE completed the anime, or at least 1/5 of it, but HAVEN'T voted at all yet. We could simply ask these people to give a vote, and they might be nice enough to do so. |

| Agree with Etherealmerc. Just having people raising their ratings to 10 is not he best idea. That way we are just doing what kids do with their favourite series to get ahead of others... |
| I didn't say it was related to the petition 0.0 Also, for the people I mentioned, they don't have a rating, so getting them to rate would be helpful. Whatever, I'm giving up on this, then. |

| In all honesty, of what I have seen so far UY is far from a 9 or 10. Im sure it might pick up in later episodes. Funnily enough, I actually prefer the earlier drawing styles for the series as opposed to the later ones >_> Im hoping for an EPIC ending |
 |
| I think it would be a 9 rate anime, because it never develops it's story, like Maison ikkoku for example, but the comedy makes for the development in the story. The fact that the anime is a long one, makes that you either love it or hate it after you've seen all the episodes. Hence some high votes on it. |
| The problems is that not everybody enjoys this kind of anime.Some might get bored after 20 episodes and just drop it.I almost done that at first.But after a while I noticed that the episodes became more funny so I continued to watch it .Now I gave it a 10 because I think that it is much better than a lot of animes out there.It is indeed worth watching. |

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
EtherealMerc said: I've not missed the point, just explained myself in a wrong way (I can have troubles explaining my point of view sometimes, since english is not my native language, so please bear with it.)@RobgeFR You're issing the point of this kinf od anime good friend. Let me see, what I tried to say before was that, some viewer can learn to like UY after having watched so many episodes, after all it is a long running series, for example like SailorKagome did. the fact that it has some many apisodes can conquer the viewer slowly. On my case I enjoyed it immediately. And find it a excellent anime (9), but not a masterpiece (10), for a Takahashi masterpiece we have Maison Ikkoku. :) Also, the fact that it is a episodic anime and doesn't really go anywhere, can turn some audience off. Inuyasha and maison Ikkoku on the contrary do have a plot, at least mainly Inuyasha, in the case of Maison Ikkoku we just follow the events happening to some people life during 5 years(in the anime)/7 years(in the manga), well, we can call that a plot :). On a side note, after watching some random user lists, I feel that classic shows like Urusei Yatsura are being prejudiced by the fact that some users indiscriminately rate dozens and dozens of anime in their lists as a 10, without having much knowledge in anime history. Well, I don't generally care about that fact, but it called my attention again some minutes ago. It'll continue to happen again and again the the future orchestrated by newbe fandom, so... Hmm, I need to sleep now. |

| My 2 cents on whats likely a dead issue- I would not support messaging people asking them to simply change their rating.. I rated mine 10/10 because I felt it was 10/10 . I would never wish to tell someone else what to rate something. If they feel its 8 / 10 that is how they feel on the series. I do agree if more people who have SEEN and READ UY were on MAL the rank would by that nature improve. |
| R there any issues with asking people who haven't rated to rate it? People were still talking about it at Lum-chan |
| |
| In my defense, it actually seemed like a good idea at the time, now I don't remember why 0.0 maybe I didn't see it as lying for those who haven't voted YET. I've been mostly driven by one of my online buddies trash talking the anime, despite NEVER watching, all cause it wasn't on the latest top 50 list -.- Some people from Lum-Chan have already come over, I believe Cata is joined, I couldn't find Kroptik though. Maybe some of you should join Lum-chan too, when u think about it, it's kinda unfair that only we are migrating. It'd be stronger if we really mixed the two sites. |
