Banach96 said: I just had a discussion with someone on a small subreddit. He watched the first season of Code Geass, but didn't like it and said it took him 3 months to finish it because he didn't feel like watching it. And so he wanted a recap of the second season so he could form an opinion on the sequel and rate it on mal. One replied that he should read it on Wikipedia, and he thanked him. Me and another user told him that it's wrong to form an opinion and make a vote based on a summary written without watching the series and his answer was: "It's not wrong, maybe it's not the right way, but since it took me a long time to finish the first one, I don't want to take a long time to finish the second one." What do you think of these people? Is it really fair to rate based on wikipedia? I suppose everyone is free to do whatever they want but to ruin an experience via a detailed synopsis, just so you can bolster your Mal scores is pretty juvenile. Again what ever floats the guys boat but anime is about enjoyment (and for some understanding of an art form), if your not enjoying something you should move on or actively try to understand what it is you arnt enjoying. The number of anime you've seen is arbitry. I saw plenty of shows as a kid that I haven't listed, nor do I list much in the way of music vids of TV ads but I've seen my fair share of those and then there anime based games that don't count, so all told, not only is it already a vastly inaccurate score for many of us but it's entirely pointless and somewhat petty to ruin a show, just to get more points on Mal of all things. There ain't no prizes, only missed opportunities.... |

| only reason I would ever read wikipedia summaries is if I forget the story of a show or if someone else is talking about a show on like discord and I want to participate in the conversation. Honestly this person is allowed to have an opinion, but it would be silly if this person was to say "this show is bad because of S2" |
   Has a 8.60 mean score Akasaka > Other Mangakas  |
| that is actually kind of hilarious, someone should do the same on yelp |
 |
| yeah, when you have no time to watch the anime, just read the summary on wiki, big brain moment it's ridiculous. sure, disliking an anime is one thing, but reading the plot on wiki to "fully finish" the anime is nonsense. screw that.

| There are fanboys who rated other anime lower so their favorite anime has higher position in anime ranking. So I guess many people are that stupid they do that for the sake of having more anime in their list. |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| that honestly really stupid, what’s the point of forming an opinion from reading a summary? |
 |
| Lol, why are people so obsessed with rating. i don't even add anime into my list anymore which I am unable to complete let alone rate it. Even I have not watch second season of code geass because i didnot liked season 1 very much |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| It doesn't even matter if the person who did this is satisfied with it. It's their rating and concerns no one else. It's not an accurate rating but who cares. |
| That's what you get for going to reddit. |

 Life is a despicable endurance race |
| i would personally never do that, since i think you need a lot more than just a plot synopsis to state your opinion on an anime. |
| Although I disagree with people rating things they have not watched entirely, that is a personal thing and I don't actually hold people accountable to my standards. Ratings don't mean anything but I dislike people rating things with out watching them because some people, especially newer to anime people, need something to gauge things by and ratings are going to be used a lot. |
| That's not even an opinion on Code Geass season 2, that's an opinion on the Wikipedia article of Code Geass season 2. Granted, they're not wrong that it's still an opinion, but not an opinion of what they claim it is, especially considering how iffy Wikipedia summaries of entertainment can be sometimes. Also unless you're a professional critic, you don't HAVE to have an opinion on something, you can just, I don't now, not watch it. I can understand watching something despite not watching it, completionists exist and the enjoyment from anime doesn't necessarily have to come from the anime itself, but that's out of the window considering it was bad enough that they just wanted a wiki article. That's no longer on the same level as people who watch shows they hate out of obligation or enjoyment through discussion. |

| I mean there are like 3 anime that I technically didn't finish I genuinely didn't enjoy the anime and looked for summaries of the last few episodes but that was like 2 or 3 episodes of a shorter series. I don't think you can form an opinion from just a summary at least not a proper opinion if you didn't like the first season then don't watch the next season or just drop the series I don't know why you would want to look up an entire seasons summary. But it's whatever and it's not a big deal at the end of the day. |
| PEOPLE DO THAT??? LMFAO THATS HILARIOUS i dont think thats not really ..... rating. a show. thats rating a wikipedia summary. but whatever you do you lol i kinda dont get why you'd rather read a wikipedia summary than watch the actual show tho, why even bother "rating" it |

| if u didn't watch the first season then don't watch the second season lmaooo >i didn't like code geass and it took 14 months to watch the first season >and 3 days for the second season |
| y'all should watch haibane renmei |
| WTF that such human is really exist!! |
 |
| Why do they even need to rate the sequel though?? Enough internet for the day, gonna sleep. |
 |
| Laughable. How far can people go to rate a show? In this case, the rating is just more important to them than watching, jesus. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| It's not my place to correct them if that's how they wanna rate the show. |
 In this world shrouded in darkness, I learned there was someone who’d been struggling along with me. That alone is enough.  |
| people do that? Well they are definitely gonna miss out for some series |

 |
| might as well read a short novel or something else |
It sounds like a work of complete genius to me. |
| Of course, you shouldn't do that. You watch a show, form an opinion, then rate it, looking at a summary just isn't the same as watching it :/ |
 |
| Do you really want to rate it that highly? Can you really say that you enjoy anime? |
| I don't waste energy to think about random weebs on the internet |
 |
| It's called poser my guy, he needs it to shows how intellect he is at rating anime. |
 |
| lmaoooooooooo. I mean that just sounds dishonest for your own list but people can lie on here all they want. I don't care. The only ratings that matter are my own. |
 |
| I would laugh at them and that's it. They're still a stranger on the internet so nothing to get too worked up about. |
 |
| I respect them more than people who watch every anime at 2x speed because they amount to the same but at least the wikipedia people are more honest about it and save time and don't have to expose themselves to twisted-up, sped-up garbage versions of the anime they 'watch'. If you're gonna cheat and fake your list, it's the second-most time-efficient method after just adding everything without looking into it at all. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Ehh, this sounds completely ridiculous.... |
 |
| That's wild. You just read the plot, and that is literally it. Not actually watching the anime. |
