| On a scale of 1-10, how accurate is the top 50 anime on MAL? |
 It's hard to win an argument against smart people, but impossible to win an argument against dumb ones. |
| zero/10 Mal has absolute shit taste |
 |
| 9/10. I agree with a lot of the choices and I'm quite happy with it |

| It's accurate to the standard anime watcher who just discovered anime. |
| 2/10 only one of my favorite is in the top 50 |
 |
| 4/10 Perfect score. It doesn't deserve more than this. |
 |
| I would give it a 6/10 in accuracy. Most of the top list are great anime though some exceptions exist. A lot of things are completely out of order to my opinion, and it could replace a lot of the top 50 with other stuff. |
 |
| For anime: 7/10 overall good. Wish it was as good as the manga ranking wich I would give a 5/10 (some tr*sh titles ranking so high) |
| :v |
| 1/10 because attack on titan is on there, and it ruins it for everybody else. |
 |
| I don't know if I can give a proper rating until I've seen all of them but I guess 8/10 |
 |
| probably 7/10. seems accurate enough for most people. |
| Bruh wym accurate. Accurate to what? If you mean precise, it still doesn't make sense, but what are we comparing it to for it to be accurate. Our own preferences? Then the question is if our preferences are accurate to the MAL top 50. BY the definition of the to 50, the MAL top 50 is 100% accurate.... |

| It's better than other sites at the least. |
 |
| Right now the average score of the poll is 6,1. What means MAL score is a Dumpster Fire, like Eromanga Sensei. Still enjoyable. |
 |
| A few recent anime are placed really high. Snk 4, JJK, HF 3.... Other than that the positions are good enough. And yes, Fmab shouldn't be in top 10. |
 |
| some series which I will not name have too many bots |
    |
| I give it the MAL average rating of 7/10 |
 |
| 7/10. Some of my favourites are on it, but there's a few I don't like and a lot I haven't seen. |
| 1/10 because MAL is nowhere near accurate, in fact I think it has one of the worst ranking systems on the internet because it's all about fanbase now and not about the quality of the anime itself. |
| 1 , there are only like 5 anime that i like there , most of the other top i watched are boring af |
| Too much recency bias, so many shows (sequels or not) somehow manage to get into the top 50 w one or two eps airing which is imo ridiculous. Other than that, I’m pretty happy w the list since it does have a wide-ish range of shows that appeal to all kinds of audiences. I’d have given it a 9 if Aria was in there though :( |

| 6/10 - it always looked pretty decent to me. |
| From my own perspective, very inacurrate. It has some of my most disliked anime in it and other anime that I think are above average at best. |
| 1/10 extremely bias, that's all I need to say. |
 |
| I could see my rating being at most a 9/10, I'm just a normie lol |
| honestly it depends like for me, I think shounen is pretty overrated and not that good. but ya for new people its accurate. |
| 8/10 Pretty good list But since every one taste/perspective is different i guess its no surprise that many don't like the list and of course rating system is kinda not good |
 |
| ehhh, maybe a six out of ten because some of the animes in top 50 don't deserve to be there imo. |
 |
| I voted for a bang in the middle! The only thing that bothers me it´s the fact that there are way more people now watching anime, which is a good thing, but at the same time they vote more and give higher ratings to recent shows. I think this makes the classics stay a little bit forgotten. |
| With attack on titan being so high, it already is looking like a 1/10. Also silent voice and kimi no na wa aren't that good in terms of overall anime. Maybe as movies they're pretty good, but I still wouldn't put them top 20. Top 50 is just catered to popular stuff. |
| Once again I thought my boy SmashBlack was back. I miss the lad and his posts. :sadge: |
 |
| 6/10 (fine). There are too many shows (mostly the more popular/mainstream ones) in the top 50 that shouldn't be there (I'm not saying they are bad, most of them are pretty good, but definitely not the best that this medium has to offer). If you disregard that, there are some really amazing shows (from what little I've learnt in discussions, without actually watching them yet) up there, so I'd say MAL's top 50 is just about ok. |
| What do you mean by "accurate"? Accurate to what? Our standards? Then ig it's 0/10. Shit taste. |

| If I can vote 0 I would the Top 50 list % is based on the median of voters. FMA at 1st has a total of 2,478,373 members voted while Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu at 7 only has 248,498 members Doesn't make any sense why an anime who only voted by 248,000+ members would make it to top 10. It seems unfair for some anime like Death note with 2,900,810 members and ranked at 60. |
For real, had the same first thought |
 |
| I'm not sure, but the most hyped up series probably get higher ratings than the little watched under appreciated series I have seen. |
| For me, I have a lot of shows in top 50 that I'm not really a big fan of. I would love to redo the whole top 50. But the biggest thign that makes a top 50 bullshit is that x and y shows with more then 2 seasons has the chance to have every released season in the top 50. Making it just bullshit. |
 |
| It's 5-6/10 for me as most of the shows or movie there deserve the spot But few of them like KNY movie and your name don't deserve those spots and don't get me wrong they are both good but i don' think they deserve to be in Top 50 and aslo Kaguya sama is a great show but not a top 50 worthy. |
| 2025 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| Very inaccurate , cause with MAL rating system it is consisted mainly of sequels with high ratings cause only fans who really liked that anime will watch more sequels of it |
 |
| Not very accurate sadly. Maybe 4-5. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| There are some anime that doesn't deserve the spot.5/10 |
 |
| 4/10- the top 50 list is filled with sequels |
| ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
