I don't watch an anime by it's ratings. Ratings have no relation with the anime.

Just by watching MHA,JJK and tokyo revengers anyone can realize this truth.

like...everything, it's:
1 - overhyped ongoing,
2 - continuation of something not-in-top-50,
3 - something so long, what you didn't wanted to start it (juuust yeeet).

You'll find masterpieces that have like a mean score of 6 or so. I've seen many of those top 50 but many of those are also not that good in my opinion. But people have their own opinion about things.
You should check for anime with your favorite genre instead of trusting other peoples score here.

I've seen 17 of the top 50 rated, will probably get around to most of them in due time, though Gintama is daunting with its 400+ episodes

Excluding a few dropped anime (and their sequels), I've watched everything from the top 50 except Kingdom (PTW) and Fate Heaven's Feel.

Those who say that "there are a lot of bad anime in the top 50 and a lot of good anime rated low" should study some statistics. The anime rated 6.00-7.99 are 15 times more than the ones above 8.00: it shouldn't be surprising that the good anime rated low are quite a few.

And probably will never complete it due to Monogatari series.

I'll break it down as such. From MAL's numbered 50 on the "Top Anime" list:

Ones I have never seen and have no plans to watch:

- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (but do have the 2003 iteration on my PTW list)
- Gintama (all of the different Gintama entries; it's pointless to list each of them individually - I wish every series was restricted to only one place in the first place rather than being divided between seasons)
- Shingeki no Kyojin season 3 part 2
- Hunter x Hunter (2011) (but do have the 1999 iteration on my PTW list)
- Violet Evergarden Movie
- 3-gatsu no Lion 2nd season
- Clannad: After Story (as of now; it may change if I ever watch Clannad)
- Code Geass
- Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season
- Haikyuu!!: Karasuno Koukou vs. Shiratorizawa Gakuen Koukou
- Mob Psycho 100 II
- Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen (maybe; depends on whether or not I get around to watching the first season)
- Hajime no Ippo
- JoJo Stone Ocean
- Jujutsu Kaisen
- Kimsetsu no Yaiba Movie
- Ashita no Joe 2

And some series on there, like 3-gatsu no Lion (the first season though) and Monster, I dropped.

Again, MAL's Top 50 would be a lot less messy and more coherent though if they restricted each slot to one series, not second and third and fourth seasons and prequels and movies and second and third seasons part 2 quarter 1 eighth 4 of the same damn series!

The amount of Gintama entries occupying space on that list - Nine - is absolutely ridiculous! Three Gintama entries back to back. It's taking up almost a fifth of the list!

It should be the next big reform MAL makes. Hopefully there's a faction pushing and advocating for that.

I haven't bothered watching some from the top 50 simply because they don't interest me, namely the Monogatari series. Haven't seen all of Gintama but I'm enjoying it so far. Don't plan on seeing Mushoku Tensei.
There's very few titles in the top 50 I truly enjoyed tbh.

I mostly watched the top 50 but many Gintama seasons are utterly ridiculous. They should make a system about that, including Monogayari. Monogatari is great, you should watch that OP.

have watched twice and more than him, but didn't watched 38 titles from the top 50.
it been said already many times in this forum the the top50 doesn't represent nothing lol.

in fact the 50-100 in the top list should be the real list.

Since my haven't watched yet are a lot more compared to my watched one, so I'll list what I have watched instead.

All Gintama related
FMAB
FuruBa the Final
HxH
Koe no Katachi
Code Geass
Kimi no Na wa
Haikyuu related
JJK
GTO

Also 1 dropped. The rest, haven't seen.

It's not like I plan to watch all of them though. Maybe a few more if I'm interested. And btw I'm waiting for all AoT seasons to finish come out and only then I will start watching it.

- NOT your usual shounen anime
- Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG
- Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons
- Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers
- BIG patience for its 'slow' start

Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part 2, Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season - dropped this trash in season one, ewwww
Fruits Basket: The Final - dropped this in season one, boooring
Hunter x Hunter (2011) - it's battle shounen thus it should be melodramatic and boring
Violet Evergarden Moviel - dropped this in season one, melodramatic and boring
3-gatsu no Lion 2nd Season - dropped this in season one, melodramatic and boring
Clannad: After Story - watched season one, it was kind of meh, but as far as I know season two should be absurdly melodramatic
Owarimonogatari 2nd Season, Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen, Monogatari Series: Second Season - dropped the franchise after Nisemonogatari which was ewwww
Kimi no Na wa. - this is melodrama, right?
Shiguang Dailiren - episode one was too melodramatic, also #NotAnAnime
Haikyuu!!: Karasuno Koukou vs. Shiratorizawa Gakuen Koukou - I skip on sport because it gets melodramatic
Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi - looks boring
Kingdom 3rd Season - looks boring
Hajime no Ippo - I skip on sport because it gets melodramatic
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 6: Stone Ocean - dropped the franchise after the second season. Too much JoJo-isms.
Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu Part 2 - the wrong kind of isekai
Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen - the manga got too melodramatic thus I skipped the anime
Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie: Mugen Ressha-hen - dropped this in season one, boooring
Ashita no Joe 2 - I skip on sport because it gets melodramatic
Great Teacher Onizuka - dropped the manga because I don't like delinquents, skipped the anime

I haven't watched:

- Violet Evergarbage movie (name expresses my feelings about this work).

- Ousama Ranking (people say it's amazing, but I can't be bothered right now with a 2 cour series that doesn't grab my attention visually... maybe in the future, I can't do dirty to Wit after the fantastic Vivy).

- Kingdom 3rd Season (people don't even want you to watch the anime, and the manga is too long).

- Link Click (blame the one below, all the stuff I checked out so far made me lose hope in any Chinese cartoon being good).

- Mo Dao Zu Shi: Wanjie Pian (First two seasons were horrible and I ain't being baited into watching another, also screw you, they are not even top 100 anymore!).

I used to watch everything in the top 100 just because they were there, that made me try out some amazing works, but plenty others were shit and I was stuck watching them for the sake of completionism doesn't matter if 10 eps long or 150, man I was retarded even bothering.
