| So I recently saw some people whose mean score is below 4.00, do you guys think they hate animu? discuss. |
 |
| No. Maybe they just watch a lot of bad anime. |
| A number is just a number. It's still possible to like something you don't want to rate highly for whatever reason. Especially true if someone has a rating system that only makes sense to them. |

| They're probably elitists who think giving anything higher than 6 is reserved for like 1 or 2 anime. |
JustALEX said: They're probably elitists who think giving anything higher than 6 is reserved for like 1 or 2 anime. Thats most likely whats happening. |
  |
| It all depends on how they rate anime. I think 5 is an average score while a lot of people think 7 is an average score. Maybe they think 4 is an average rating for an average anime. |
| Yeah they probably sing "hello darkness my old friend" in bed until they fall asleep too. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Nah but they are elitists or as i like to call them ''special snowflakes''. |
| What're you talking about? It's a known fact that anyone who has a mean score under 7 hates animu.. |
| They don't hate anime. They just have shit taste. Not enough ecchi and fanservice. |
Asa Akira said: It's called S&M if both parties enjoy it; Otherwise it's called being an asshole.  |
| I'm glad this was done with 4.00 rather than 5.00 because of my own mean of 4.91 (I swear it's going up, I just haven't really completed many anime recently since I'm watching a 14 cour anime). I would say it depends on their rating system. If they use a 6-10 scale shifted down to 1-5 then I doubt they enjoy anime much less than someone who uses a traditional 6-10 scale. If they use the full scale but watch a lot of short films, music videos, and commercials that they rate low but don't spend much time on in comparison to the other anime they watch then by anime count it may be that they don't enjoy "most of the anime" they watch, but in terms of time or even episode count they are enjoying most of what they watch then I wouldn't say they hate anime. If they pick up all the anime that airs each season (40+ series) and rate most of the 2- 6 because they truly aren't enjoying them but are just suffering through them in order to stay updated with everyone else and be able to give full informed reviews of all the anime of every season then I would say that even if they don't hate anime as a medium (why would they still be watching if they did?), they do hate most of the anime they watch. That kind of person may enjoy hating on stuff so the enjoyment may come from expressing their unenjoyment (eg. writing reviews of their hatred). If someone watching the Super Bowl for the commercials and dreads the actual game because that isn't what they're there for it doesn't mean they hate football. If someone watches anime to criticize it that doesn't mean they hate anime because the act of watching the anime isn't what they were intending to get enjoyment from. |

| They are enlightened about the 'truth'. Well luckily I don't. |
| You should stop watching anime if your mean score is less than 7. |
devinder said: I'm sorta glad this is coming from someone with a mean of 4.35.You should stop watching anime if your mean score is less than 7. |
|
| They Rate the Anime based on Story - Art - Sound - Character - Enjoyment And what keeps them watching Anime is definitely Enjoyment , Maybe Overall score is 4 and Enjoyment is 7 |
devinder said: You should stop watching anime if your mean score is less than 7. Nooooooooooo, I'm 0.3 points from 7...maybe I should cheat and change some scores real quick lololol... |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| To be honest, I kinda envy those people because I have a really high mean score 8.32... too high lol That's what I honestly think though. I'm not gonna give out lower scores just to bring down my mean score |

MechaGuy said: Pretty much my opinion as well on the matter.No. Maybe they just watch a lot of bad anime. |
| They don't hate anime. They're just either very picky or much harder to please. |

| do you even understand what a mean score means are we calling people elitist because they don't like SOME anime? da fuk that word must sure apply for alot of things devinder said: You should stop watching anime if your mean score is less than 7. ur mean score is 4.4, not sure if joking. jc9622 said: devinder said: This ^^You should stop watching anime if your mean score is less than 7. Like I just don't get why they still keep watching anime if they hate 90% of the animes out there. How do they manage to keep watching only to end up getting disappointed most of the time? though this maybe is a somewhat fair point(but not really) but it's just worth it in the end for the good anime y'know. anime isn't bad even if 98% of it was trash bad work doesn't invalidate good work edit: I just chose this Water over coffee WHAT A BEVERAGE ELITIST |

Temmie said: This isn't "some". I'm sure OP is referring to people who watched a ton of anime, hundreds, instead of someone who only has 20-25 titles on their list. some an unspecified amount or number of. it applies absolutely the point is it doesn't really matter if you hate an overwhelming amount of series you've watched, the good work is still good. and if someone is willing to dig through trash to find it, that's them. hating some work, whether or not it's 850 works out of 1000, doesn't mean you hate the whole medium. edit: and even with that, if you rate six anime 7 and four 1, it's going to average out to below 5 lol. It's just how people score. If in your perspective they're wasting their lives, let them. Don't waste yours worrying about how they spend their lives, spend your time deciding how you want to spend your time. :P yes, good point. |

| They're probably harsh-rating completionists who pick up shows on a whim. Also, I bet their lists are full of shorts, OVAs, and seasonal anime. Doesn't mean they hate all anime though, just that they have no real standards when choosing what to watch. I'm sure they also have shows they love, otherwise they'd find a better hobby. |
 |
| Basically, bad work doesn't invalidate good work. And it's not best to generalize, period. Some anime are good, some anime's bad. Whether it's *most* or not is besides the point. But I guess this is a fair question, I don't think it was phrased very well though.. |

| I disagree with how most people rate things. I think a 5 isn't a bad score, it means the show was average and didn't impress me too much, but I still finished it willingly. For most on MAL though, a 5 means don't touch with a ten foot pole. The way I see it, if I'm more harsh, my highly scored anime has a lot more meaning to me. If everything I watched was rated a 7-10, then those scores would lose all meaning. My scores are a way of ranking the shows I like in groups. In general, I ignore what the numbers mean. If two shows on my list share the same score, that means I believe they are on about the same level. It helps me remember how I feel about shows. |

| I don't know why they would force themselves to watch a series they hate, anything 5 or bellow i would drop because i would feel like i could use that time to watch something that i actually enjoy. I'm not a critic anyway so I just score shows based on my enjoyment. |

EmperorQ said: At what point do you usually drop an anime, though? Is it three episodes, one episode, or even just 15 minutes?

| No, they wouldn't be on an anime forum if they hated it, unless they're a very pathetic troll with nothing else to do. I think they just use a different scoring system, I've seen some people who use 3 as average, or maybe they watch a lot of bad shorts, or maybe they're just really critical, even a 4 is relatively enjoyable for me, so I understand that. Of course, it's possible they're just trying to be part of the imaginary cool kids club, but I think there's a different reason for each person. |

| They are very exigent in terms of quality and taste I guess. No, they're not elitists, I've only ever met one user who is a so called elitist. |

Mamster-P said: i third this lol i see no fucking reason to finish a show you're going to rate so low...... my favorite are the people who finish a 25 episode anime then rate it a 1 or 2 Because some of us write reviews and take it seriously. And some of us don't have time to watch something halfway, realize it's poo-poo garbage, and pick something else up--once we've committed, we've committed. And tearing a lousy series a new asshole is cathartic. And you can't just always watch good shows or else you'll become numb to what makes a series good, so you have to watch dumpster grease like Lucky Star to once again appreciate just how amazing Now and Then, Here and There truly is. There are plenty of reasons to complete a bad show. |
