You could say that for every other anime. Every other anime has its fair share of fans and haters. But the ratio for fans/haters for this episode is extremely high. Dunno, what you're getting at.

It's really something that FMAB has not produced an episode that would have such high ratings and yet somehow is still on the top. Speaks a lot about it writing.

The weak (imo) early humor and early story arcs make it a tough sell. It also seems that a lot of watchers are intimidated by big episode counts.

But who cares.
Like ratings make something better or worse in Mal.The people that watch, anime guides from reviews and Youtubers.
And social network like Youtube,Twitter,Instagram and Facebook.
And forums like 4chan.
And alot other places.

A bit sad for less known anime like 3-gatsu no Lion or Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu that has multiple episodes over 90% but not enough votes

(and I ain't even mentionning Natsume Yuujinchou, whose votes were already fxcked up by a troll and should also have many episodes rated over 90%, same goes for a certain episode of Kono Oto Tomare S2 which would have had a score over 96-97%)

This also happened. Sorry Gintama fans, I feel a bit responsible for it, but it's no longer the highest rated, it still has an insane amount of 5/5, but the damage is done. I know which episode now has that title, but seeing how it turned out, I won't tell it, eventually it'll come up to the list (or I hope so), and I hope that then it doesn't get manipulated neither.
I know that having this list would lead to a little war of scores, as with the Top Anime List, but I made it out of pure curiosity, and I wanted to show you all what I found, so I really hope the manipulation in the episode discussions doesn't go any further.

Also, to those who did downvoting (or upvoting) because of this:
Stop being so butthurt!

@mafd12: No worries. Your intention was good to begin with out of simple curiosity. There were certain episodes of other anime in the past with much more votes and with higher 5/5s that got hammered down by typical lowlives in this community.

Have been long enough in MAL to see how it goes but will never understand the obsession. I think these are the types who would give death treats to animators, mangaka or VAs had they been in Japan lol.

How is that a bad thing? In fact it shows that you don't need too many plot twists or some overhype moments unlike some anime (*cough* demon slayer *cough*) to show a good story. And it is still an anime that most people will say is the objectively best anime out there. Also the ratings speak for themselves.

By the way being impressed by Kimetsu no Yaiba Episode 19 for me is a sign of anime newbie or person who have watched mainly drama or other projects with less complicated to animate scenes.

I'll tell you what FMAB lacks of, it's the character development, the 2 main charas stay the same from a couple of early episodes until the end, you can argue that they are already developed and there not much things to do and the author can just focus on the world building, but that is the point, FMAB is far from a complete anime despite the rating here in this site.

Are you serious? Did you even watch it properly?
We literally see a short tempered shorty arrogant alchemist who thinks that alchemists are the ones closest to god despite not believing in him to a mature adult who realizes that alchemy is not the answer to his problems. All you need is an ordinary life and the people who are important to you.
He also is reminded that humans are not just cheap chemicals you buy from a child's pocket money and try to resurrect on a whim. He realizes these stuff progressively not all of a sudden like some nakama power or Deus ex machina shit.

It has already been dropped to 96.33% wtf that's just unfair
That's how it always is for gintama lol. Since the size of fandom is small, one can't really do anything against spammers.

You dare to imply that if I agree with you here, then you are going to take the completely opposite stance? Now THIS is backhanded. And underhanded as well.

The fact that you even managed to compile all that was astounding. How did you even do that? I hope it's not manually.

I'm not going to argue about which episode of which anime should've been here and should've not been here. But I gotta say that those that are already here do deserve the rating. They were all great episodes. Two that stood out to me the most in the top ones would be A) SnK III pt. 2's episode 4 (Levi vs Beast Titan) where everyone was talking about it everywhere online; and B) Mob II episode 7 (Reigen's conference).

No I implied...of sorts that you could assume that I would take the completely opposite stance.

Hands down me assuming your assumption is a bit insidious from my part, but I only hypothetically implied it, not actually.

A bit sad for less known anime like 3-gatsu no Lion or Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu that has multiple episodes over 90% but not enough votes

(and I ain't even mentionning Natsume Yuujinchou, whose votes were already fxcked up by a troll and should also have many episodes rated over 90%, same goes for a certain episode of Kono Oto Tomare S2 which would have had a score over 96-97%)


Yeah, I was just looking in the Natsume series and it's impressive, all the episodes are downvoted, even the OVA and the movie, and in a stupidly obvious way (for instance, although still clear, the downvoters in Chihayafuru made it more subtle); a shame as there are some episodes which would made it to the list if not because of this.
Also, don't worry, Sangatsu, Shouwa Genroku and a lot of other titles are gonna get a spotlight as the line cut keeps lowering.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a more general note, I'm already looking for the definitive line cut, and I'm tempted between two points: 200 or 150 votes; I think it's low enough to give some underdog titles an opportunity to enter the list. So I question, does that seems good to you? Which one you prefer? Do you have another proposal for the list? How many time do you think I'm gonna take on this?

Okay, who let the shonentards put Demon Slayer in number 3? It's like Ishuzoku Reviewers again, where there was an absurd amount of demon slayer/MHA loving shonentards who skewed the vote? If they can rule the vote, why can't Ishuzoku have their own rule too? The heck MAL?

If it interests you, I already have a list of episodes rated above 90%, it only concerns the one I've watched but there are plenty of them, if that could help you in any way

It's crazy how almost 20% of this list is Steins;Gate or Steins;Gate 0. Really goes to show how good Steins;Gate is


I had the same thought. Can't say I'm surprised though, Steins;Gate is my 2nd favorite anime of all time. I also noticed that both the series' most traumatizing episodes (12 and 23) we're on there. I guess everyone enjoys being emotionally devastated. Go figure.

Moral of the story: if you haven't watched S;G, crawl out from under that rock and go watch it. You won't regret it. Just have a box of tissues and a therapist ready for the much of the second half..
If you disagree with any thoughts or opinions expressed in the above post, you're wrong and I hate you forever!

Steins;Gate Episode 14 added to the list.
One thing I didn't detailed quite well (maybe because I didn't want to make the first post an infodump) is when one single episode enters the list: if it's an episode that aired some time ago, it will be added as soon as it meets the requirements, but if it's an episode recently aired, it will be added with the next list update, both for it to stabilize and for avoiding that its inclusion bugs the accuracy date.

Another thing I had in mind is what to do with that kind of episodes where it's known the fact of a score manipulation, some examples:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=309243
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1810723
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1816718&show=50#msg58849989
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=550039 <- Sorry for this one.
As you see, it's pretty evident that there has been some kind of manipulation in them, and because of it they can't meet the requirements of the list; the most obvious is the Natsume Yuujinchou's one, where the downvotes are focused in the 1s, but there are harder cases as Chihayafuru's one, where the downvote it's spread to all categories, so we can't really know which votes are legit and which aren't. There's from where the dilemma comes from, the idea is to someway ignore the downvoting and letting them enter the list, but as not all the cases are clear enough, there isn't a good way to determine how it would be that ignoring; also, there's the fact that this downvoting happens to much more episodes, by the way, after publishing this list, the top 3 episodes here fell down a bit in score (and the Gintama's one, I can't stop apologizing for that); then applying this ignoring to just some episodes could be unfair, but trying to apply it to all is practically impossible, yet letting those clearly downvoted episodes out of the list can be unfair too. That's the dilemma.
Tell me, what do you think I should do about it?
