Nope, not one bit. I don't really care what the top 10 anime is according to the people on MAL. I have my own personal top 10 and that's the list that matters most to me. In my opinion, it's silly to trash a good anime just because it's in the top 10 or it's popular or whatever. Just like what you like and don't be concerned about whether or not its rank is surpassed.

Well, to me, not so much. I just watch stuff I find interesting, so what if it's on top 10!

But I'll get really happy when/if any anime I like gets up to top 10! It can mean that a lot of people watch it and appriciate it! ^_^

No, but it quite annoys me to see my favorite shows get downvote by little kids.

Hate... Hate is overrated on MAL... Just because a handful of brats start to moan about shit being popular does not mean anything. For an anime to get into top 10 it need to get a lot of appreciation. The first 4 anime got over 1 million of viewers each, and FMA Brotherhood got over half a million 10's. Meanwhile, it got like 4600 scores of 1 from haters, and lot's of those are trolls and bots. So yeah, the power of haters amounts to nothing, because the majority of peoples do not waste their time and energy hating what others enjoy. Or look at SAO, the Justin Bieber of anime - its the 3rd most popular anime on MAL, despise it being virtually the most hated... so is it truly hated? It got 1,6 million viewers, half of them gave it scores above 7, +200k 10's, meanwhile the haters - 16578 scores of 1 ... so 1,4% of the whole viewer base... Actually, all the scores bellow 4, barely amount to 10% of the viewers. That's what the most hated anime of the past decade amounts to - 10%.
So haters don't matter at all. When Attack on Titan aired and got popular, there where haters at the time that moaned that it was overrated or trash ... yet Attack on Titan is the anime that put anime into mainstream - a masterpieces that would live trough generations. Does the fact that JimWhoLivesInHisParentsBasement and NoName McGee argued that its overrated in 2014, matters in any way? Nup. I saw someone mentioned Kimetsu no Yaiba... That one got really popular too, it trended number one on Twitter... do the few haters matter compared to the countless who got their mind blown by the mind blowing animation? Nup. Personally I feel bad for those guys...

So let's be serious. Is pointless to bother with haters. Why does top 10 matters? And does it matter? Yes. Because it's rare for a new anime to get there, the ones at the top are behemoths. Personally I can't even imagine an anime taking 1st place from FMA.

No, because at least half of them have no right being there.


god i hate posts like this...

why is there no reason? you do know the reason the list is the way it is right?

come up with a decent answer... you probably won't seeing this statement but, give it a shot...
Well, first off, I didn't say reason, I said right, the words have different meanings, so get it right, arrogant twat.
Second, the top 10 only looks at scores and nothing else. You do know that there are hundreds of thousands of accounts that are actually only here to influence those lists, and that people are so fucking butthurt about that list that they go out of their way to create fake accounts just to get their favorites higher rated?
Third, the legitimacy of the scores are and will always be a joke because the shows never have or will have an equal footing when it comes to popularity, genres, or any other metric you can throw at it.
Rankings are, and will always be a fucking joke.

Oh, and you don't have to respond to this, seeing how your previous response literally gave nothing of value, and only served as a way to show your own incompetence.

Not at all for me. I´m happy that Hunter x Hunter is there, but it´s fine with me if another anime take its place.

I enjoy the top 10, because it provides a general census of what people enjoy, or chose to watch and liked. The only downside to this is you don't get the point of view of people who watch over 500 anime, which would be really cool to see all the anime enthusiasts ratings in one place. Do I agree with everything that is in the top 10? No, but the is why we have a profile to display OUR top anime.

Not really, because caring about it is what leads to the dumbass people that think they're doing gods work by review bombing shows that compete with their favorites, and I'd rather openly wear an ahegao shirt before I associate with those people. I'm sure there are people that care about the top 10 that aren't as vitriolic, but damn are they the tiny minority.

The only reason the MAL ranking exists (in my eyes), so that newcomers can see what is considered good in the anime community and a good place where they can start and create their own taste of anime.

When Demon Slayer had started airing, people started praising it a lot. They even started comparing it to the greatest shounen animes. That was the hype. As soon as the rating increased, hate around it started. It became the SAO of 2019. So I don't think a very good rating is a very good thing either. Lol

Btw, I have my own top 10 which is a lot different from the general top 10. That's what matters.

I wouldn't call KnY SAO of 2019. SAO has 7.5 score, and KnY has 8.9. It's just that its haters are active on forums.

People don't hate KnY and much as SAO. There are just lots of butt hurt people who are mad because it is higher rated than VS.
Yes. Only VS fans are so salty about it. 90% of those who shitted on KnY were a fan of VS.

When SAO ended, it's rating was 8.40. After 7 years, it has come down to 7.50. Demon Slayer will probably have a similar fall. I hope not though. Lol

Yes, because the shows there are a must watch, even though they may not be you favorites, at least they have a pretty huge chance of being enjoyable. Despite saying this, I don't agree with the top.

Nope. I checked it a couple of times out of curiosity and, as always, I agree with some animes being there and disagree with others. I think the list might be helpful for people who are starting to watch anime, though.

Depends on what you mean by caring about it. I dont think a definitive list of anything exists. Its all relative after all. However, I do like looking through it for stuff to watch.

Not really since I'm not looking to watch anything longer than 30 eps and I couldn't get through March Comes in like a lion S1. As for the others..Steins gate was alright after taking a few episodes to kick into overdrive. Your name was ok. AOT S3 P2 deserves it's spot since it's basically the payoff season of it's series, and it really payed off well. A silent voice is a good movie, but I didn't expect it to be in the top 10.

I do not care too much for Your Name and A Silent Voice, but the other top 10 series are pretty good imo. The order is very questionable. My top 10 anime is almost completely different.

The top 10 is a good tool of finding anime that you’ll like for sure like, but it definitely isn’t the perfect tool either. There are many anime in the top 100, top 200, taht you’ll find just as good or even better than the ones on the top 10. Every individual has their own opinions, so you’ll be surprised at the quality that anime even around the 8.0 range have.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes should be #1. Just delete every other anime. That's the only one we need.

Not a newcomer, but yes, if you don't constantly keep up with the zeitgeist, then taking a peek is helpful.

People who get mad that everyone doesn't like the same things they do are another story.

Haven't even looked at it in ages. I think I rmbr FMA getting overtaken by Your Name. That's it.

Don't rly care cos that's just a response to the votes of the public and what they think is good. Ofc, a list as popular as that can drive a lot of eyeballs to what it has on the top but eh, it's not that big of a deal.

Nope. It's weird to say this, since I watch top 10 videos all the time (mostly out of curiosity and boredom), but I have no idea why people are so obsessed with what's in the top 10. I mean, seriously, people make fake accounts just to keep certain series from losing their spots. It's kinda sad. And the fact that people will give you shit just because a lot of your favorites are in the top 100 is equally as sad. God forbid your opinions match up with the majority every once in a while....

Doesn't matter much, as in, I may not watch something if it's number 1 unless I feel like watching lol. But it's good to know the general flavor of the moment, and something may inspire me to watch one of them.. I did feel curious about Death Note and watched it (although only a couple of months ago) because it was always so popular and it's one of the best anime I've ever seen:)
