Clearly this show has some people that purposefully scored it as 1 because their other favorite shows were falling behind Oshi no Ko. We see that we have around 1000 people scored it with 3, then less than 1000 people score it as 2, but over 5000 score it as 1 to purposely reduce the overall show qualification. Is there a way that MAL start working as Rotting Tomatoes on dismiss or apply a weighing on 1 scores when those are significantly above the 2 scores - which clearly is people who have not watched the shows?

MAL already doesn't count scores from illegitimate accounts in the average. They don't say how exactly they know an account is illegitimate because they don't want botters to figure out how to get around the filter. You can see more info here.

Are you new to this site? Oshi no Ko isn't the only show like this, in fact Oshi no Ko is on the lower end of the spectrum. Shows like AoT and Fmab have way more score counts of 1, albeit you could argue it's because they have significantly larger overall members for their respective series.

MAL scores don't mean shit so imo there's no point talking about them.

It's very well known for a long time how the ratings work here with almost every popular anime falling to the mass score bombing and also tons of alt accounts being created just to bring down the ratings lol. It's a joke and imo you shouldn't care much about them tbh. It's not a new thing.

the show was rated the 1# anime after the first episode. If you think that was normal and it was deserved you are just biased. Just be happy your favorite anime is in top 50 on MAL, if you care that much about scores. But at the same time demon slayer has 2 entries in top 100 so it probably doesnt mean much.
Just enjoy your anime please and dont get hurt over some stupid scores

Try look at Kaguya: Ultra Romantic. There are close to 10,000 ones, and like 700 twos. Its just what happens when any show takes the number one spot from FMAB.

It’s laughable how some people get so bent over the scores on this site. If I love a show and I’m enjoying it, the score doesn’t change that. What’s even funnier is the score for oshi no ko is really high. Oh well

Thread locked for breaking the Anime Discussion Guidelines:
2. Please refrain from creating threads that do not encourage meaningful and/or civil discussion. An example includes:
    e. MAL community data
      e.g. Questioning the score/ranking/character favorite counts
      e.g. Saying that series X should have a higher/lower score/count
      e.g. Specific reviews, moderation of data/community content/reviews, etc.
As already mentioned in this thread, there is a system that detects illegitimate accounts and excludes them from the calculation of the MAL overall score. You can read more about it here.
