| I mean why do people on MAL do this? I don't do it anymore not even with 2nd seasons of anime I have watched the previous season of one episode is not enough time to know more about the story and everything else so I think you should wait for at least 3 episodes. |
 |
| I can rate it whatever the fvck I want, what's your problem? when the new bleach anime will air you bet your ass I'll rate it 10/10 after the fisrt episode |

| Getting your favorite series at a good spot in the rankings is good advertizing I guess. |

| this thread is not that far from "why people rate things that still running" -_- the reason is simple - exactly as in episode discussion people rate the episode from 1 to 5, people rate the 1st episode from 1-10 and so on. |

| I think people who rate anime while they're watching let's people know how they're enjoying it as they go along. If we're being honest, we can usually see how good a show can be based on it's first episode, unless it's something that builds into something completely different. Even though personally I wait until I've seen everything, I don't have an issue with people doing this; but something that really pisses me off is when people review something after like 3 episodes are out, and those usually end up being the top reviews. It comes across as a bunch of fanboys desperate for likes tbh |

|
| Because the story is just a (little) part of the whole, for me most of the time not even the most important, there are elements you can easily asses after the first episode like animation, character designs, backgrounds, soundtrack, direction, atmosphere, world building, premise, voice acting, characters, the dinamics between them, mood, humor and so on. One episode is enough to get a feel of the anime but that doesn't mean that my rating after the first episode is something that is set in stone; I can easly modify it if I feel like to. |

kingdommoutenfan said: i thought i was well explained - because the series is still running you rate the so far episodes, not the entire series, if score would be only once people wouldn't do that, but since you can change it, you will do it bae on the episode you are in + the previous episodes though you haven't watched the entire series, even not the completed ones.User-Name said: this thread is not that far from "why people rate things that still running" -_- the reason is simple - exactly as in episode discussion people rate the episode from 1 to 5, people rate the 1st episode from 1-10 and so on. no its different from that 1 episode is not enough to judge a series. |
| Because MAL offers the option to, and because they want to. You can judge an entire series from the first minute if you want, it's not like the police will break down your door and arrest you. |

 |
| i do it because otherwise i'd forget what i rated it at the earlier eps. especially with seasonals when i'm nearing the final eps i tend to only remember the last 3 eps. slowly changing the rating over time just feels better for seasonals so i dont forget how much i enjoyed/hated it at the first half |

| When I occasionally do it, it's because I can, I've seen the same formula before and I change it along the way as I deem necessary if my opinion changes. It's, you know, my list after all. |
 |
| "Why do people rate an anime when there is only 1 episode of it out?" Because this is their score based on the watched episodes - in this case one. I guess the OP wouldn't gives score for example to One Piece or Detective Conan in observable future. "no its different from that 1 episode is not enough to judge a series" This will blow OP mind than - you can change your score later if your opinion changes later. Actually you can change it years later after you have completed the show. |

|
| Why not? My rating always reflects my feelings about an anime so far, whether that's after 1 episode, 20 episodes, or the completed series. If my feelings change, so does my rating. It's not complicated. If a rating was set in stone, unable to ever be changed, I would never rate an anime until I'd finished it. But since I can change my rating as often as I want to, I don't see any reason to wait. 1 episode is enough to form at least an initial opinion about an anime. I can't believe how often this question is asked on this forum. |
 |
| Do we really need to ask this every season? Is this some kind of rocket science? It represents what they think of the show up to that point. The score doesn't need to be the final judgement of the show. (In fact, no score ever is the final judgement of the show. It's common for people to come back to an anime years later and to have their opinion completely changed). You can easily change the score whenever you want to. The score you give isn't some hill that you have to die on at all cost. |

So should we wait for 3 episodes to come out to have any sort of discussion? I believe that you can tell whether you like a show or not based on the first episode (and if you think the episode is average you can watch a bit more to see if it improves or not). Ratings aren't permanent, you can change them later on.

You are not rating the whole anime, you are rating only the episodes you have completed... kingdommoutenfan said: why are you even bringing up One Piece. By the logic "you can't score anime before its completion" you can't vote for shows like One Piece, Black Clover, Boruto, Shin-chan and others which are airing for many years. |

| Maybe people are really thankful their favorite show got adapted or got another season? Mal reviews are a joke either way so I don't see anything wrong with it. |

| How is an entire half hour not enough time for people to develop a valid opinion on a show? Do you even want to watch the next episode? If yes, you like it on some level, rate it at least 6. If no, you don't like it, rate it a 5 or below either give a couple more episodes or drop it. Just rate as you go. The rating is just a number that can be easily changed with a few clicks if your opinion changes. |

1. You said you are waiting for seasons and seasons...yes, minimum 3 episodes how generously...still pointless. I have seen shows changing for bad or good after absolutely random number of episodes - even two episodes before their end. There is no actual pattern, well the visual quality usually drops after 3 episodes (so it must be "after at least 4 episodes"?). Can't find a reason why I wouldn't lower my score after that. 2. The whole "don't rate from only one episode" comes actually from "you can't score before its completed", go search the countless topics about that. Quite annoying tons of people insisting "You guys should start voting like I do!". Your post is just a variation on that. |

| It's my impression off the first episode. My rating often changes for a new seasonal as more gets released. It doesn't really matter MAL is for personal use I could care less what it does to ratings. Also people have the right to judge a series whenever because it does vary some shows yeah need time but a lot of content you can judge from the first episode whether you are going to like it or not. Stuff only gets marginally worse or better for me the more episodes go on. We all have a first impression off the first episode for some the first 5 minutes. So again why is it wrong to rate off that impression? I don't get why so many people on MAL care so much how others rate. It doesn't matter. I only care looking at reviews because I like certain reviewers to have a certain mean score or like similar shows to me because it can inform me if it's likely we will share the same opinion. That is it. |

| cuz I have the capability to do so? I have rated hundred of anime 1/10 after only watching 1 episode and 95% of them did end up 1/10 |

| Quite honestly, most of the time you can tell how the rating will turn out to be. Also you can just rate by each episode, so you’ll change accordingly the anime airs... |

| Most likely bec they loved the first ep? Don't ya worry or think too much about it, we can go ahead and change it anytime we want as the episodes progress. If after the season, it proved to be just a 7 or a 4, we'd change it so. :-) |
 |
| I have no idea either, it is freaking dumb |
| Why? Simply because we can lol. We all have differing reasons as to why we rate when we do, but I think many of the reasons stem from "because I can/want to". It's not like me rating shows before completing them is hurting anyone, so I personally don't see the problem. Also, like nearly everyone else on this thread has said, you can get a good feel of an anime and whether or not you'll enjoy it within the first episode. Of course there are exceptions, which is why the "3 episode rule" exists. But the 1st episode is also a crucial point of whether or not the anime will be enjoyable to you. If your opinion/enjoyment changes as the show continues, so does your score. It's not like our ratings are permanent, just let people do what they want lol. |

Makes not sense to me no matter how you slice it. kingdommoutenfan said: at all I am talking about seasons that are aired separately Usually when they air them together they are not marked as different seasons.., On the other hand the spilt cour seasons are practically the same since they are created as part of one production cycle...so giving them automatically the same score without watching even one episode is OK-ish. I don't do that but theoretically it's alright kingdommoutenfan said: Also I have never waited to watch an entire anime to rate it Yeah, but you are not so different from the people who rate only after completion. kingdommoutenfan said: why do you people take this topic so seriously it was only a question. Because this same question have being asked at least twice a month, people get jumpy when other people try to tell them hwo to vote. |

| Because people have opinions about that episode. What's the problem? |

| I rate by enjoyment and more or less know if it's not going to get better |
 |
| It really depends if you read the manga of it and you know it's gonna be good then that's reasonable |
