I'm not sure where to post this, but seeing as it involves Steins;Gate i'll post it here.

http://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=&limit=60

On the "Top Anime" it shows Steins;Gate with #87 currently at a 8.60. Yet the show above it has an 8.48? I'm confused, it even says at the bottom of the link "we rank shows twice a day" so how come it is still so low?

I'm just wondering. xD Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but it's been bothering me.

Because the weight of the score is not strong enough? That's what I think.

Yeah, probably just glitches.

The rating is going up everyday though. Already up to 8.6, jeez.

It also happens when everyone praises Madoka. After it finished, it suddenly rocketed from top 100 to top 10.

The top anime section of MAL is only updated twice a day...actually that was back when MAL wasnt such a PoS in terms of server lags and SQL issues.
This day I dont think the list is updated at all anymore...maybe once a week or less.

That is why you will find lower ranked animes on top of others

why it score not reach 9.0. i see the stat that 10 and 9 occupy majority of the score. the weighting method may be wrongly calculated. (correct me if i'm wrong)

The other votes is what brings it down to 8.62. The anime needs more 10's to reach 9.0. Compare Steins;Gate to some other animes that have a score of 9.0 and you will see there is a very big difference. I would be really happy if it could reach up to a 9.0 though.

Don't worry, when it's complete the score will rise.

Completing an anime will increase your weight, meaning people who dropped it are worth less.

Completing an anime doesn't technically make a score worth more. Airing series count all scores but completed series don't count the scores of anyone who hasn't seen 1/5 of the series, so when Steins;Gate ends all of the people who haven't seen 5 or more episodes won't have their score count anymore and the average score will inevitably go up because the people who no longer count are most likely the people who don't like it, causing them to drop it early on.

As for the current ranking, MAL's Top Anime page is just not updating. Again. A glitch-less MAL is sort of a myth.

I'm gonna laugh if Usagi Drop's score is higher then Steins;Gate at the end of this due to Usagi Drop relying on 9s.

Oh, don't tell me "Usagi Drop is better than Steins;Gate' sort of thing. Seirously. Whenever animation is 'heartwarming', it always ranks high regardless of anything.

may be striked out but not enough people will vote for Usagi Drop for it to overtake...Personally i like it and will probably give it a 9 or 10/10 anyway

There is no real answer to that question.
I haven't finished Steins;Gate so I have no valid thoughts on this.
I'm just saying an anime relies on 9s to be extremely high on the rankings. But hell, the rankings mean nothing. It's the opinion of the viewer. But people do follow the rankings. So ya.

You guys are simply fantastic. You simply love to make comparisons with shows that have basically nothing in common just because you feel like it. Now we're discussing Usagi Drop X Steins;Gate. In another topic it was LOGH X Steins;gate. So, what's next? Gintama? Haruhi? Madoka? AnoHana?

No.
We never compared the two series. I just said that a series that has it main rating be 9 higher then series where 10 is their highest rated. The shows are completely different.

lol why the hell are you raging for? Only thing we simply stating is 'I think Steins;Gate is better than Usagi Drops!'. What's problem with it if I didn't compare anything else other than preference?

MAL server is probably having a hard time to grasp on how fast the anime has skyrocketed in its score. I'm as excited as you are, but we know for sure it's being best. Only if there were more fanbase to even make it reach Top 5 or even 3. @_@
