It's a huge possibility that Attack on Titan Final season can take the crown of the infamous Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Rather you agree it deserves that spot or not should be determined by honest scoring and not off the haters who don't want to see their possible anime being dethroned. This goes for all anime. And it's always been a huge issue in the MAL community.
If you look at stats and click on members it's very obvious that thousands of accounts have been created to solely give this show a 1.

3.4 percent scored a 1 which is less than a 2, 3, 4 combine for this scoring. I really hope MAL does something about this such as banning ppl for creating fake accounts just to mess with the tegrity and honest scoring of anime series in the future especially mainstream series.

I reported obvious fake accounts and they told me "There is already a system in place to prevent vote brigading". One positive thing....FMAB score is decreasing year after year so we don't have to worry.

Same when AoT fans create accounts to down LoGH, or the Gintama case with fans of other animes... After all, this is internet, will always happen...

Tell us something we don't know.

Let them keep wasting their time creating fake accounts, their efforts are in vain anyway.

Why does it matter? AOT fans are doing the same thing, going on LOGH, Steins; Gate and HxH and spamming 1's. At the end of the day, it's really just all about which anime has the biggest fanbase to spam 10's and spam 1's on other anime, not which anime is objectively better.

Lol, the pot calling the kettle again? You ARE aware that of those 60% 10s a huge amount is also botted, yes? And we're not talking the 7000 1s, of which a small part still might be a real vote as well. From some random testing I did it seemed to me quite likely, that as much as 10% are bots. Some 10k+. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about HnR:B being top or second, but I find those hypocrites calling themselfes fans in the SnK community truly amusing.

Its a war, they can do whatever they want, but at the end we still gonna win if they animate chapter 119 -122. Even biggest FMAB fanboys will create new accounts to give AOT 10/10.

These people have too much free time in their hands, and I'm not just talking about the FMAB fans. lol
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Pointless effort. If they really want to make a change, they should at least wait till series finishes airing, so scores from dropped wouldn't be registered.

Please shut up about this. There is already a system in place the bot scores don't do anything. The score probably just went down because of THAT scene in the last episode

I mean others are doing the same thing for FMAB...? This was the same when vinland saga and chihayafuru 3 were airing at the same time and has happened multiple times before.

I really wouldn't bother too much with it, it will pass.
plus this is like the 15th thread for this. I'd just not care and move on,it will still remain your favourite yes?

Fmab is one of my favourite anime but if it will go down from the #1 so be it? it's just a ranking

I mean... who cares? I dont understand the obsession with bringing down FMAB people have. Anime rankings on MAL are so pointless. Just cause something is #1 on MAL doesn't mean its objectively the best. And who is any individual to say the majority is wrong and to try to change something a majority believes to what THEY think it should be because it doesn't fit with their opinion. If people are making alternate accounts to downvote a show and upvote another I just feel bad for them for being such a pathetic person with nothing better to do and like others have been saying others do the same thing with their own shows. FMAB is rated #1 for a while. Who cares. If it's not anymore. Who cares.

AOT isn't anywhere near the top anime for me personally so yeah I rate it low because I legitimately believe it shouldn't be at the top and despite its fanatic fanbase alot of people I'm sure feel the same way especially with the uproar over the seasons animation making alot of hardcore fans upset. FMAB also isnt the whole franchise with the active fanbase AOT is so I can promise there are more people pushing AOT up and FMAB down than otherwise.

Maybe you should re read again. You aren't calling me out on anything. I literally said its an on going issue with most if not all mainstream anime or did you not understand when you read that? But nice try on the pot calling the kettle bit it was cute.

I wonder how a rating based on the scores after trimming the top and bottom 15% would compare to the rating based on all scores. In particular, how would the rankings be affected. A trimmed score would be significantly more difficult to game.

Boo hoo we don't care. Series like Gintama and LOTGH have had this issue for a much longer time and aot fans do the same thing to fmab as well. It's unfortunate but with the mal highest rated page, it's kinda bound to happen.

They should definitely fix the fake account stuff though

Exactly. Remember that one time when gintama was the number one anime on mal and then FMAB fanboys downvoted it? Pathetic.

Nothing to worry about the ratings mate
There are several series that I like very much and I think they deserve much higher ratings but still I don't care because for me they are great regardless of their ratings
The same goes for snk
