*Checks SetsukoHara favorite list.* has one piece as favorite in manga section. Confirm op fanboy. Tries to change subject because I'm talking negative about his favorite series. One piece fanboy logic detected.

I cant really agree with putting individual seasons on a list. ESPECIALLY if its part 2 of a season.
shows should be looked at as a whole.

but in truth all these lists suck equally

MAL has biggest userbase thus their scores are the most "legit"

Aside that... don't care about scores. As they are irrelevant to my personal enjoyment.

But for AOT specifically it came out 9 months apart for season 3, and some seasons including AoT are separated by many years. Why don't you agree with that?

The reason they do this is probably because these seasons often come out years apart with no guarantee there will be a second season.

Not much to do about that.

In any case I'd almost feel disgusted that My Waifu Attack on Titan is apparently put in the same breath as that completely uninspired and uninteresting Full Metal Alchemist.

Anime-Planet is the trashiest of them all. Oversensitive fujoshit/feminazi overlord. Terrible and bland design. Rorico-fan/thatanimesnob reviews are present there which makes it cancerous by default.

And seeing that high ammount of stupid and foolish commentary on character pages makes me feel thankfull for the fact that MAL will never implement it over here. *spits on the ground* Frickin' disgusting website!

I'll stick with MAL and /a/.

Edit: Oh hang on this thread was about rankings? Then just forget what I said.

I feel you fam, but that would just make most shows unreviewable.

For example, you couldn't review shows like One Piece, you gotta wait 15 years to give off a review of Naruto, and etc... that's why we give off a seasonal review. But, of course, you can review the series as a whole after the series ends.

I'm level on mal-badges. View my badges.

Now that i think about it, these are just the same type of audiences across all those websites, and MAL is literally just the biggest one which by default makes it the go to for audience scores. If you included Anikore, the Japanese MAL, that would be interesting.

MAL draws from a far larger sample size than the rest of the lists so the information is far more useful and a better representative of the anime community. The same bunch of series are highly rated on all lists. The exact order of them doesn't really matter to me, it's more about how series' are viewed by others in general.

R is Reddit. M is MAL. A is Anilist. P is AnimePlanet.

Good taste wins points.

(For those tragically lacking in a sense of humor I should say this is a joke. I don't necessarily think there is an objective 'good taste'. I'm applying everything I think is important to form a taste that I respect, in a tongue-in-cheek way.)

How overrated is Your Name? (normie test)
R3 M1 A2 P0

How respected is Clannad: After Story? (soul test)
R1 M3 A2 P0

How resepected is Monogatari? (fan service tolerance test)
R2 M1 A3 P0

How overrated are MP100 / OPM? (sakugatard test)
R1 M3 A2 P0

How respected is Fate? (otaku culture appreciation test)
R3 M1 A2 P0

How overrated is The Promised Neverland? (recency bias test)
R3 M1 A2 P0

How overrated is GTO? (reverse recency bias test)
R3 M0 A1 P2

I wanted to do an anti-moe / anti-CGDCT bias test too but didn't know the best way to go about it and this already took too long.

Final scores:

Reddit=16
MAL=10
AniList=14
AnimePlanet=2

Surprised Reddit won tbh... I can't stand the community on there with all the normies that flood in from other boards. Can't discuss a show with a good sexy anime girl - espcially if they even approach loli territory - without some asshole with a retarded borrowed moral framework they absorbed from being a such a fucking sheep trying to ruin everyones fun.

But it was still cose... for the most part lol. My big takeaway form this is that AnimePlanet is pure cancer and if I ever get the kind of resources necessary to purge it from the internet I won't hesitate.

A much more accurate representation of mainstream audiences that recognise that the purpose of the anime media is just to provide entertainment, with over 500k voters and almost 5m total votes.

Every site has similar ratings and I disagree on the same things.

Aku no Hana (anime) is PAINFULLY low in every site.
Koe no Katachi is painfully high in every site.
Kizumonogatari is painfully high in every site.
And stuff like that...
But, anyways, I don't care about top anime ratings. Why should I?

All rankings suck, how a comedy anime has better score than an anime that has so deep philosophy, pychoanalyze of characters, adorable metaphores e.t.c. ? I did not see IMDB's list before watching The Shawsank Redemption(I watch tons of movies since childhood) and It was my best movie, and yeah, IMDB was right! But these illogical anime lists have never hit! I guess non-japanese anime fans have IQ problems.

People watch anime for different reasons. SOme for fun, some fore gore, some action and many more. Why do we watch anime? For entertaining ourselves. What's your problem with people who watch it for light moments especially when your own life can be shit? IT'S NOT LIKE ONLY BEING A PSYCHOLOGICAL ANIME MAKES YOU GREAT, DEEP, BROADER ETC. EVEN COMEDY CAN BE GREAT, DEEP, BROADER TOO.

I like MAL more but it should more a bit friendly it can add comment box for every anime and manga down . Also make a feed community for users like us .

I don't know why I like MAL but now I think if I have to just only track my list then I can use IMDb like before I don't need MAL and for manga tracking I can use anime-planet ( because webtoon and webcomic comic are not even listen here . )
Seriously I don't know what to do ?

I have found that each anime site, has it's own unique following, demographic, and favorites.
I've seen sites where D.Gray Man is the end-all-be-all for best anime ever, and here it is ranked #442, lol.
Don't take any of these sites seriously. They weren't ranked by me, and therefor, none of them can be correct.
