this is more suited to be in a blog, but i felt maybe it can be true for the most part, and thus might help others who are new here?


1-scores are bullshit

2-popularity doesn't matter

3- reviews no matter you agree or disagree, are going to be always better than scores. including your overall opinion about the show.

4- there is no good taste or bad taste.

5- there is no such thing like elite in anime community. it is just a meme (i dont see it being used mostly here, but just wanted to say that.

6-again scores dont matter. reviews and other people opinions, especially people i disagree with, give some perspective on how this show is bad or good.

7- the helpful review vote is sometimes abused, because most people don't care about the review, they care about whether the reviewer is agreeing with them and how close the score is to them. so always check other reviews.

well, doooooooooooooooh. of course they are. who even takes them seriously? some of the best things i've seen in my life are rated awfully here (for mal standards). every new piece of dirt gets insta-8.5 even if it's not worth an average score even. anything old or peculiar automatically gets a low score because it's not muh animu. of course ratings are trash and they don't really matter. but we've been through this, anon.

and about reviews, until the day they remove the scoring from reviews, they will never be as important as they should. most people only care about the score on the review anyway and they react only if it's something negative.

point is, a five star scoring system might actually be more interesting (if they really need one)

NOT TO MENTION how many inactive accounts have given shit scores earlier in the old days because the community was different back then. if said accounts would be removed, scores would be very different for some shows. there are lots of reasons why current scores on mal are irelevant.

and don't even let me get into those fools who make fake accounts just to give great or horrible scores to something. again, many accounts should be deleted anyway. then, the scoring would be more accurate. and even so, it's still irevelevant.

what matters is what YOU like. that's it.

ps: your account seems to be fake too, so it should also be deleted

Diebuster transcends all conventional forms of story-okay you get the idea.

Basically
1. Scores are BS
2. Reviews are BS

Just watch what sounds interesting to you and if it sucks it sucks who cares it's not like you're going to die tomorrow and if you are then you should be doing something else besides watching anime.


but that wasn't a review at all. a proper review should lay down the negatives and positives of the show in plot, character, animation, and sound with some overall opinion about the show. it helps a lot if the review is detailed.

Though I don't argue with sock puppets, I'll just interject that scores are a perfectly reasonable way to quantify how much a show lives up to the rules set forth by its genres, and if it breaks those rules; whether it was done well or not.

It can however become problematic when people conflate their scoring too much with provisions for music, animation, art and other non-critical production value components that should at the most nudge a score one way or the other after the main score is already found.

1. Why migrate to a new account?

2. Have you seen shit reviews?

3. Migrating to a new account is a sign of insecurity, ergo point 8 can never be true

4. Popularity and scores are great ways to introduce one to the medium, ergo points 1-2 are subjective as well

5. OP has shit opinions, which translate to shit tastes.

6. The need for emphasis is disturbing.

1. Why migrate to a new account?
i dont like my old ratings, i dont like to adjust them because i forgot what happened in the anime i watched, with few exceptions. so i need to rewatch them. i needed to delete all or most my anime entry, but it is tiresome to delete them manually. so i created new account. also i like starting new.

2. Have you seen shit reviews?

yea.

3. Migrating to a new account is a sign of insecurity, ergo point 8 can never be true

i didnt understand this question

4. Popularity and scores are great ways to introduce one to the medium, ergo points 1-2 are subjective as well

not always true. for most ? maybe.

5. OP has shit opinions, which translate to shit tastes.

well i cant argue with that

I wouldnt mind about scores but first in my case
- Check review, (I'll skip one that is long and nonsense, would've nice to it simple and organized) but again review is based user preference
- Checking out the highlight and see if theres something could interest me.
- Find out major reason why its low or high.

and be done with it.

Agree there is no good taste or bad taste.
Casual pleb also don't exist.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

all the points are pretty much spot one except for the last one atleast. all ratings and reviews are YOUR opinion.you shouldn't really give a single fuck about anyone's except for yours unless you want to waste other people's time by saying something opposite to what they are saying just to trigger them.

I don't think this is necessarily true. It mostly depends on the person behind the review or score. I'd pay a lot more attention to a score given by someone whose opinion I value than some shitty review written by a 10 year old. I mean, you don't ned to have any qualifications to write a review, any idiot can do it. Doesn't mean their opinion is more valid than someone who doesn't want to waste their time on something like that.

I like scores for how they effect the affinity system. I think it's really neat. Also the first thing I do when I check out other peoples lists is sort it by score. I like to see what people rated 10 and what they rated 1. I just find it super interesting, don't know why.

that might be true for the most part. but i like to believe that there are people who score according to a rating system fairly. but that is the case here, not everyone use the same rating system. sometimes you can find two famous reviews have more or less same review but with different scores for some reason.

When I check out shows to watch, I honestly couldn't give less of a damn about statistics such as the mean rating or reviews from other users. I also don't pay much heed to the synopses, other than to get a very basic idea of what the show is probably about. There have been quite a few shows that I have truly enjoyed, despite only achieving a mean score in the 6's and 7's, coupled with what I perceive to be harsh and unreasonable reviews. On the other hand, there are shows such as Code Geass that have mean scores that approach a 9, and yet I did not resonate or care for the shows at all. If I had let scores and other statistics influence my decision on whether or not to watch a show, I would have missed out on many anime that are important to me. Besides, I don't think there is much of a point in putting heavy emphasis on scores given by others when the entire system lacks an even somewhat standardized scoring system. That is to say, I do not believe that one word definitions of scores such as "Good" or "Great" serve as sufficient standardization. It's all subjective, so don't stress about what other people rate a show!



i agree with you. personally, sometimes though i trust some people's score to some point. because thier rating system made sense. mostly they are famous reviewers. not all of them but few.
