Have you thought of people who like pre-1960 anime? Of people who like OVAs of 80s and 90s? Of all the people who watch single-episode shows out of sheer interest in these parts of the medium, not to boost the amount of titles? How exactly does exploration of the roots of the medium become "disrespectful attitude"? Achievements are intended to encourage people to explore new horizons, not to discourage them from doing so.

Jesus Christ, you can't get even the very obvious joke. God, there was even smile, and you still not get it. A joke about joke achievement. With clear inclusion of the author (i.e. me) in the target audience. And I used to think that it's me who tend to take everything too serious.
Not only that, but you completely missed the point that I was talking about manga in that case, not the anime. Have you ever read the whole post or just see the last words and decided to oppose it?
Also, there are not so many pre-60s anime, and people who watch it are usually old watchers that already watched enough anime to not get that achievement. The same goes for the ones that like 80s and/or 90s OVAs.
And how exactly this achievement discouraging people from exploring new horizons while it's very obvious that it's telling you "you read only a fracture of medium, try something new"? Not only you fail to see a joke, you also fail to see the logic. And on that note, so do you think that these "Mean Score" achievements (more that 8, less than 5, less that 3) - which are clearly joke achievements - also discouraging people from exploring new horizons? Then why are you not against it?
Holy mother, I just make a suggestion, and a joke one, and you reacting like it's some big deal. Come on, it's just some pictures for viewing some cartoons, why so serious? This is mass-culture, don't treat it like something great.
Ah, and so: -> :-) <- Please.

It can be joke "anti"-achievement, something like "Cheater! / You watched this many OVAs, ONAs and specials just to inflate your list, isn't it?"

This could also work for manga... Someone who has more than, I don't know, about 50% of titles on his list as oneshots, could have "oneshot maniac" with description like "Not every story needs lots of volumes to have a conclusion"

The problem I see with one-shots is that most of them get merged into a collection of one-shots or another series when they appear in volumes. So the number will be constantly going down.

@Alex-and

Following your line of thought, should we also implement what was suggested earlier in the thread, renaming the "completionist" achievement to "govnoed"? 'Cause it's a very obvious joke, right? 'Cause nobody's going to get offended, right? Right? Splendid logic right here.
From where are you obtaining the data on people who watch old single-episode anime? Because the majority of such people I've seen, have more or less half of their list consisting of such anime. Not everyone is a lanblade to counterbalance these with an equally large number of long anime. If you want to have that achievement so badly, you should change the minimal threshold of short titles from 50% to something like 80%. And this problem will be solved.
The issue here is exactly that it's telling you "you read only a fracture of medium, try something new", while you, having watched lots of single-episode titles, with all probability have experienced much bigger variety of themes than the person who had watched a small number of longer anime. Modern newcomers are not interested in OVAs and movies. An achievement called "cheater" will discourage them even further. It may be a clear joke for you, but yet again, can you guarantee that everyone else will share your sense of humour?
I am not against "Mean Score" things, because they're exactly that - scores. How would knowledge of their mean score discourage anybody? Even MAL itself tells you that info on the bottom of your list. On the contrary, MAL doesn't label you a "cheater". Will you also blame MAL owners for not implementing your obvious joke?
It is mass-culture. Quote me, where exactly do I state otherwise? Indeed, we are talking about mere pictures of mere cartoons. The very purpose of the MAL forums is to talk about these things. Are you implying that mass-culture cartoons are not worthy of discussion?

To sum it up to my main point. There are lots and lots of people around, who are looking for a smallest excuse to insult the list owner and their tastes. At the very least "Mean Score" achievements are worded more or less neutrally. But the achievement saying "Cheater!" will fuel the fire, which the majority of said achievement owners would find less than pleasing.

Comparing the light tame joke to straight foul insult. And you're telling me my logic is twisted. Sorry, not working. Also, too many repetitions.

Erich_Domel said:

From experience here and in real life.

Erich_Domel said:

Doubt it, most of recent (i.e. from 90th onward) specials/OVAs are most either comic or ecchi (infamous beach/onses episodes). Most of old one-shots are either psychological or historical.

Erich_Domel said:
Modern newcomers are not interested in OVAs and movies.

And I've heard the line "nah, it's too long, I'll better watch that recap/alternative movie instead and then, if I like it, watch the whole series" way too often. Problem is, as you can guess, half of time they not like movie enough to watch the series, and end up only with that.

Erich_Domel said:

Doubt it, it's not some public online game scoreboard. And if someone is fragile enough to stop watching anime/read manga only because some anonymous source on the Internet tell him/her "you're a cheater" or "you have a shit taste" or "anime/manga is shit" - then he/she needs to mature a bit.

So, you're sure that this

I love Chinese cartoons
Mean anime score higher than 8.5. How about using the whole scale and re-rating stuff?
That could make you look less like a fanboy...

Watching anime is suffering
Mean anime score lower than 5. Someone has to counterweigh the fanboys, right?

Less than three
Mean anime score lower than 3. Is it hate, or is it love?

are serious achievements that are encouraging youngsters to watch more anime, and even a very sensitive person can not be offended by this? Or do you tell that this is not obvious joke? OK, I have no comments on this.

Erich_Domel said:

In the second version of MALgraph there was one "questionable" achievement for too high mean score, and I don't remember any public riots about it.

Alex-and said:

I, for one, am not a living saint. Even the most chill and mature person will have some kind of feeling of protest if they're being constantly insulted.

Alex-and said:

"Not discouraging" =/= "encouraging". To my understanding, these do not affect one's desire to watch or not to watch. These are just stats. These are not comparable to the achievement you're suggesting (except both being a "joke" as you insist). They have no relation to my point, and you try to diverge the discussion from it.
My point yet again being: either make the achievement more neutrally worded, or raise the minimum threshold so only the ones watching mainly recaps/alternatives get it. And hey, I have one more idea! Why not make the list of anime counted towards this achievement to include only short recaps/alternatives of the longer series (and not all short anime indiscriminately)? Aren't these ideas a slightest bit more reasonable? Is there any chance for us to reach a compromise?

Alex-and said:
So I ask you again, and this time please be honest

So I answer you again. I answer not to a post, but to a person. I have thoroughly read the whole thread prior to posting. I have seen your first post, and I thought "one post brings no harm". I saw you repeatedly pushing your point, and I provided a counterpoint, quoting your most recent post, but bearing in mind everything you previously said, as a whole. I do not address the "manga" part, because I couldn't care less about the manga. Furthermore, in the post number #222 you say this achievement is pointless regarding manga. Why do you keep insisting on talking about the thing you yourself just called pointless?

So it's my turn to ask. Did you honestly mean to introduce such achievement only, strictly, and solely for manga, without any relation to anime? If yes, please forgive my misunderstanding of your point (and try to express yourself more clearly next time). But if you by any chance wanted to have this achievement for anime, then all my points are still standing.

Irrelevant. Ad hominem. Turn to joke instead of serious answer. Effort to accuse and make opponent defend instead of arguing. Denied, try to use real arguments instead of demagogic technique.

Erich_Domel said:

First you arguing "there are different people, some might be influenced by that", but now you're generalizing? Make your mind. And you know, for that stats some people going to extremes (spacecowboy and other fakes with insane amounts of titles).

I've made my statements clear, it's all on that same page and inside that post, I'm not going to repeat it specially for you.
But. I'd like to point to the middle part of post #210:

If possible, I think that % should be calculated not based on the amount of short titles, but instead on total time of shorts.

because it's look like you overlooked that. Just think about it

Oh, and if you can say

What about an achievement for "Manga vs Anime"?

For example: Anime Completed/(Anime Completed+Manga Completed)

If above 0.8 (or 0.9, or 0.85 or whatever) you get an anime achievement if under 0.2 you get a manga achievement. The descriptions could be, for anime "Paper? What's that? Can you eat it?" and for manga "Arghhh! All that movement hurt my eyes!"

For limiting the achievement we could add a threshold of 100 of each as minimum or something.

What do you think?

It's an interesting idea, but that sure would be one very hard achievement to get indeed. After all, if I wanted to get say the manga achievement with a completed number of 100 anime, then I'd need to read at least 400 manga to get a value of 0.2 or lower.

For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave.

They were just aproximate values, we should fine the most appropiate values for not being too easy or too hard. Reducing the minimum to 50 we get 200 of the other one, which is fairly easy to get. Or instead of a percentual difference a simple one: if Manga-Anime is >100 you get the manga achievement and if it is < -100 the anime one, because the percentual difference gets harder to achieve as you increase the total of both. If 100+400 is hard 200+800 is impossible.

I seriously think there should be a HAREM achievement, along with a cheeky description about Main Character McBland, accidental falling on girls' breasts and female cast made only from cardboard cut-outs archetypes. And also heroines that can't utter a single word if we are counting reverse harems too (which I think we should). There are enough series to cover this one, right? Though I cannot think of what should we put on templates aside from Love Hina.

I agree.
I have 96.97% in the manga achievement. I have 33 manga, with 12 echi and 4 hentai (according to tags.. ). It's 16 "echi" mangas from 33. It's almost half. How can it be almost 100%?!

ps. What about series that are almost like hentai VS series with just a little echi? Sora no otoshimono, kiss x sis etc are almost like hentai, but they are tagged as echi.

I suggest to use something similar to weighted score calculation (google it).

We know percent of hentai among completed anime, percent of ecchi, and percent of other titles.
We know score for hentai (4), for ecchi (2) and for other (1).

This data is more than enough to find weighted score, which later can be converted to 100% scale. Something like this.

It's just a suggestion, maybe it would give even worse results than the current formula...

Maybe this could work:

100 / completed * (ecchi * log10(completed) + 2*hentai * log10(completed))

With 100 compled entries it has value 2 for ecchi and 4 for hentai as is right now...

But at the same time it takes total completed entries into account so it works for both few and many completed entries:

exmp1:
total 25, ecchi 8, hentai 5 ;

Now used formula:
100/25 * (8*2+5*4)=144%
With only 8 ecchi and 5 hentai entries is hard to call someone a pervert :D

My formula
100/25 * (8*log10(25)+10*log10(25))=25.16%

exmp2:
total 2700, ecchi 280, hentai 200 ;

Now used formula
100/2700 * (280*2+200*4)=50.37%
With 280 ecchi and 200 hentai ("regular" achievements would be maxed long ago)
but 2700 completed entries it's hard to get higher %

My formula:
100/2700 * (280*log10(2700)+400*log10(2700))=86.42%

Ryuma00, did I miss something or it gives wrong results?

For example, empty list with 1 hentai completed.

result - zero.

log10(1) = 0, that part needs to be corrected

ok yes, log10(1)=0 so the results would be 0,
but let's asume that we have more that 1 completed entry...
Since someone with 1 entry wouldn't be bothered by something like malgraph :D
