When you sort anime on MAL by aggregate score I regret to inform y'all that "Pui Pui Molcar" an absurd show about CGI hamsters shaped like vehicles now finds itself cemented in the top 200 with a score that's rising daily. At first I thought it was a meme, or being boosted by what I call "Irony 10s" untiil I started reading the actual reviews and forum posts and came to the aneurysm inducing conclusion that these people are actually serious. Yes, folks. A 2 minute show about CGI hamsters shaped as cars that randomnly cuts to cringy Koreans (real living Koreans) in the backseat of these things dancing is now ranked AHEAD of actual masterpieces such as Gankutsuo, Shinsekai Yori, Katanagatari, and honestly God knows what else. MAL has reached peak levels of autism and officially lost the plot. Congrats, I didn't think y'all could go any lower. |

They're not CGI, they are stop motion animation. They are also cute and fun. |

Also there was a more discernible "plot" And Pingu's absurdly high score, i do think was intentionally boosted by Reddit and as a meme / Irony 10's Whereas RE: Pui Pui Molcar i actually get the feeling these troglodytes are serious. It's really sad tbh |

LOL nah considering I've been on MAL for... what 11 years now? This is one of the most absurd rankings I've ever seen. MAL's rankings were generally good .. for the most part. Most shit rated super high (in the top 100) were either masterpieces or Gintama. Most of the shit rated super low - below 7, usually ranged from very poor to mediocre at best. Were there discrepancies - or times where i didn't understand MAL rankings? Well , yeah of course- but those used to be anomalies or exceptions. Recently they've been occurring with far greater frequency and no example illustrates that more eminently than Pui Pui Molcar. |

Not sorry. aiyaiyai said: There are 18 replies on this thread and 2 of them complain why OP has SAO in the favorites. Yikes. Anyway, I won't add anything other than I'm watching Arnold Schwarzenegger's Commando. Fucking great film. First of all, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a D tier actor at best. Second of all, yeah hating on SAO is nothing new. Digibro kinda made the cool and hip thing to do about 7 years ago. Glad you could catch on. |

I made a post earlier about how generally good MAL's aggregate scores were. But inexplicable anomalies like this continue to occur more and more frequently. The only other site I have experience with is Anime-Planet right now, and their ranking system surely has plenty of issues. Almost everything on there is above an 8 lol.So it becomes super hard to actually differentiate series based on scores. I think SAO has an aggregate score of 4.13/5 (8.26/10) and that doesn't even put it in the top 1000. |

To be fair I find it quite strange how MAL hasn't done anything about it, maybe if it gets high enough, the same thing as Tian Guan Ci Fu will happen where people just downvoted it lol. Honestly, I was confused as hell when I saw those scores, even the reviews take no acknowledgement of the general audience who will certainly come across it. I plan to review it myself when it finishes because that is kinda strange. In saying this, I love the show, but it isn't 10/10 on a universal scale. |

Eeeh, remember when the trolls voted freaking Pingu in the City #1 on MAL?!? Yeah, i believe this is the same thing, no way in hell these people are serious, they are just trolls or bots made specifically to up voted it untill it reaches #1 or something, the mods will take care of it in due time, so no worries. Not that i really care about the top on MAL anyway. |

I would review it myself tbh, but honestly I don't even know if I could give an objective review anymore. The show just simply isn't good, and its general reception and aggregate score kinda make me even more partial towards hating it. Hopefully some other people can step up and give some fair reviews.

Let throw that headline right back at you. Some of us love the these, I believe they are guinea pigs. And if you can't even recognize the art of stop motion, maybe you missed something. Hot take, not so hot take. The Rosario Arc is only weak tragedy porn for teens. Pretty laughably how desperate that show was. Just had to add this. Hah. I'd much rather watch these 2 min shorts of stupidity |

The amount of people who actually look and care whether something is in the Top ___ or how high something is scored /ranked is a lot more than I thought. I was not aware that it was such a big thing tbh. But sucks I guess? I've never seen that show so I can't really judge how bad or good it is. Is it that awful? |

Johan said: Well then you don't need to take their opinions seriously. If someone has a vastly different taste from you then they're probably not the right person to ask for an opinion on a related matter. I think most people get this and that's why they don't care about an entry's score on MAL. Based on what I've read about the anime you're talking about it seems like no one is scoring it high for its "critically introspective writing" but they still find enjoyment in another aspectGoZha said: Bruh who cares... let people like what they like and just like what you like LOL I don't care what people "like" I care what people say is "better" than something else. Kind of boring these kind of replies. I like a Mcdouble from Mcdonalds. That being said is it a 5 star Angus burger from Parkside? Hell No. And you're goddamn right I'd judge someone if they said it was better, and probably not want to take that person's "opinion" regarding food too seriously. |

I assume it’s because of how few people have actually seen it, only 1,521 users. The score will probably go way down if a considerable number of people watch it and add it to their list. |

Interesting thought- define what you mean further You know, people with big knowledge on cinematography who can really judge an anime like they judge a movie, but by MAL standards (sound for example, how a normal person like me judges this, I think it's the hardest criteria) along with art, animation, characters, story and others. |

Yeah I kinda get what you're saying. So something like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic where you have a user score and critic score. MAL does have reviews.. which... i guess is the closest thing to a "critical score" ? But the problem with that is that anyone can make a review, and they're not well regulated. It would involve hand selecting a group of actual trusted voices to be official reviews, and there's really not many that I think would be a good fit. Stark700 is the only one that comes to mind. |

It seems to me that the people who aren't encouraging thoughtful discussion are those who are replying to OP themselves. Not all of them, of course. Anyways, I'm guessing it's just the 'memers' again upvoting obscure anime to look funny and ask for attention. Perhaps the same situation as Ex-Arm, except they are all joining in on the fun to downvote it, or upvote it - depends on whom. Well, opinion differs in the end, so just leave 'em be. |

lmaooooooo imagine thinking that Gankutsuo, Shinsekai Yori or even Katanagatari can try to compare to PUI PUI MOLCAR, PPM is just on a higher level that those garbage shows. Its not CG, it is stop motion which is quite impressive how fluid it goes for a kids show. PPM is just a masterpiece. This being said, imagine taking seriously MAL ratings. |
