Edited for better explanation. This is a discussion out of curiosity.




Does those anime deserve to be there?
What are the ones overrated?
What are the animes that deserve a higher rank?
What will be your top 10?



And any thing related to it ...

I barely care about the top anime. High School DxD BorN is #11 for example and stuff like Gintama is so praised due to the 1/3 rule and people who dropped the first series would not watch the rest. How else would Gintama' have a 9.40 score?

High School DxD is still entertaining in its own rights. Although Gintama... I'm not too fond of the humor so... skip :3

You need to watch one third of the series for your score to count. Gintama' had #1 and a really high score when it aired.

High School DxD BorN isn't a top 50 tier series though. It also hasn't aired.

It is kind of nice to see what the 'top' anime on MAL are. I don't pay much attention to it though.

uhh no it's 1/5

in Gintama's case it's 201/5=40.2 => at least 41 episodes for your vote to count


OT: I've watched 123 of the top 200 as far as I can count at least

Thanks. But I mean, why is that certain anime great? If it is because of the plot, then why as well. Yeah, I pick on which anime to watch base on the MAL Top Anime list, I haven't watch tons of great animes so..


I am not familiar on most of the anime part of 200, like monongatori (?) , samurai champloo. etc.. So, Idk what makes it great

I haven't seen a whole lot of them and many of the ones that I have seen wouldn't make it into my personal list of noteworthy shows, but well, different people have different tastes, and so I don't see much of a point in arguing about the ranking or claiming that certain ones are over or underrated.

Those animes in the top 200 list are collectively likable.
They are the one's that mostly don't divide people's opinions, so they don't get low rates.

So, they are not taking many risks or going all out in anything. They are generally really enjoyable, but sometimes play it too safe.

All of my favorites are in the top 200. Gintama deserves its high rating in my opinion. Few shows come close to what Gintama has achieved with being both extremely funny and serious at times.

Out of the 17 shows I've rated a 10/10 9 shows are in the top 200, but those include multiple seasons so I have rated about 5 different shows a 10/10.

This.

From experience the ones I rate 10/10 tend to be the ones that are also in the 200 (or just outside of it), which is not that surprising. If it's something that most people like, then the chances that I'll like it too is also bigger.
Generally I have a good experience with the top 200. I think out of those I saw, there were only a handful I rated less than 5.

Of course, my favorite anime is #7 and my second one is #58. Mushishi is #12 and Bebop is #20.
And LotGH deserves more than 9.12 honestly. More than Gintama and Clannad at least.
And High School DxD is #11 wtf is this shit?

clearly the most people wanted rated those the highest. So I guess that means they deserve to be there. Id probably choose differently, but that's just my bias versus other peoples.

Does those anime deserve to be there?
In a way, yeah. They're the anime the majority chose, of course there are other variables. But I of course can think they are overrated or underrated.

What are the ones overrated?

I don't feel like going though all of them but I can maybe do the top 50.

Hunter x Hunter (2011)
Gintama: Kanketsu-hen - Yorozuya yo Eien Nare
Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki
Mononoke Hime
Great Teacher Onizuka
Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu
Kara no Kyoukai 5: Mujun Rasen
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.

What are the animes that deserve a higher rank?
Luckily all of my favorite anime are in the top 200 so I'll just use those instead of going through the list again.

One Piece
Hajime no Ippo
Nodame Cantabile
Ping Pong The Animation
Tsumiki no Ie

What will be your top 10?
Probably my favorites:
One Piece
Hajime no Ippo
Nodame Cantabile
Ping Pong The Animation
Tsumiki no Ie

then probably:
Mushishi
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Cross Game
Nichijou
Natsume Yuujinchou

A lot of them do. A lot of them don't. Haven't seen every anime in the Top 200, but it's just basically the ones I like deserve to be there, and the ones I don't like don't deserve to be there. High School DxD BorN doesn't deserve to be there just because of the fact that it hasn't aired yet. The ones I'm glad that are in the Top 200 include both versions of Hunter x Hunter, Bakuman 1 and 3, Death Note, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Angel Beats! among others.
What are the ones overrated?

The ones I dislike. A lot of sequel series.
What are the animes that deserve a higher rank?

Nana, Madoka Magica, Toradora!, Angel Beats!
What will be your top 10?

My 10 favourite anime. Otherwise, it'd be something like:

1) Clannad: After Story
2) Legend of the Galactic Heroes
3) Gintama'
4) The Wolf Children
5) The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
6) Hajime no Ippo
7) Monogatari: Second Season
8) Gurren Lagann
9) Mushishi
10) Great Teacher Onizuka

Both seasons of Code Geass are in the top 20 and DxD, a sequel one of the worst ecchi I've come across (and hasn't aired to boot), is 11th.... there are areas where it can be improved severely, but it's the majority's vote. So yes, they deserve to be there... except for DxD.

Umm, that's a lot of Gintama. Can we just condense that into the Gintama franchise?

FMAB is good and has a wide range of appeal, so for reccomenation purposes I can understand putting it at the top, but if someone tried to tell me its the best anime I'd roflmao.

Hunter x Hunter is like a crappy Tower of God. A really crappy Tower of God. Even if Tower of God isn't an anime, that doesn't make HunterxHunter good nor does it have that wide of an appeal.

Clannad AfterStory? HahahahahahahhahahaahahhahahaahahahahahhaahahahohohoHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!! No, haha, just no.

Monogatari Series: Second Season is good but its a lit slower than the previous series. The dialogue often isn't as snappy and the plot isn't as tight. I'd say it makes no sense to put it above the Bakemonogatari, though I think Nisemonogatari is best.

The whole list seems kinda random. Maybe it shouldn't be ordered.

Little Busters Refrain is in top 200.... its number 141 with a rating of 8.42
Boku wa Tomadachi ga sukinai is not in top 200..... its number 694 with a rating of 7.87
ToraDora is in top 200..... its number 92 with a rating of 8.52
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is in top 200..... its number 52 with a rating of 8.64
And
Zankyou no Terror is in top 200...... its number 190 with a rating of 8.34

Any stuff like this is rather random.
mal does not require your personal id to vote. There may be spamming.
And different people got different tastes. So you most fav. does not need to be #1.

You only pick what you like from top to bottom.
#1 and #10 can be switched with ease, but it's rare for #1000 to reach #1

Part from FMAB. It isn't really a ranking of how good something is just broad range appeal.

This might be relevant to the thread:

MyAnimeList Top Anime list evolution since 2007

So is there any era (so to speak) which had a better top anime list? I think the Top 20 anime list was better when there weren't four Gintama entries.

Sad that Death Note dropped off the list though :'(

One Piece was number 2 in 2007 :O And FMA 2003 (along with HxH 1999) have really dropped with time
