Well Death Note is rated 8.63 on MAL(not saying it is too high or too low)but i noticed that Jujutsu Kaisen is rated 8.72 so if jjk is rated that high death note should have been 9+ or something because the first season of jjk was just not that good to be rated so fucking high.Another example Tokyo revengers with so many plot holes and not much depth in the characters is still rated 8.25 is just hilarious for me.Another example Boruto, you may not agree with this but Boruto is a much better anime than what it's rating says it is, it deserves a rating of 7 and Boruto being rated so low SOME people who have completed shippuden just doesn't bother with it when it is a decent anime, well different people different taste.One last thing FMAB has 22k (1) rating reviews/ratings this is just bullshit even if you didn't like the show it is atleast a 5, 6 or 7 just rating it as 1 for fun or so your favourite anime can be on top is just stupidity.
There are many good animes which is rated a bit low on MAL and so the new gen anime watchers on MAL just doesn't bother to look it up and so many good animes are just being ignored for a rating system.
Well I am not hating on any anime, there are different people in this world with different taste so I am just asking it to you that the ratings on MAL matters or does it bother YOU, because the rating system is used for a reason and should be used properly for the new gen anime watchers on MAL.

It's the last thing anyone should consider when watching a new Anime, it's just a number based on popularity mostly, for example most of the top 100 animes include some really bad animes that are straight up bad in every possible way yet they are still in top 100 even worst top 10 so these rankings doesn't mean anything at least for me personally

For death note specifically I don't care really as I mentioned these numbers doesn't make an anime good or bad, for example there is tons of animes that deserve to be in the top yet they are not even in the top 100,does this make these animes bad? No
It's just that what's popular is what you see on these rankings, quality never been a factor since as I said there is tons of awful animes in the top 100

(this is just my personal opinion)

ratings matter as much as a pile of mouse shit in the middle of a forest. Its normal for people to rate things because it is their opinion and they have a right to that and to speak that opinion. Ratings don't matter about a show. The show doesn't need a high rating to be enjoyed and as such the show should not be rated by what it has but by what it makes you feel. If you are on the edge of your seat for most of a show screwing up your body posture to watch that show then you must have enjoyed that show.

Basically fuck ratings quit rating shit based off what it has and rate it based on the enjoyment you gained while it lasted

Tokyo Revengers is a good example, but Boruto and Death Note aren't.
In Death Note case you forgot the second half of the show, while JJK As a whole show was better.

You shouldn't care much about the exact score because it's usually incorrect. In the most cases it's off by +-1.

Yeahhhh that's a tough one. The answer can be rather ambiguous and all these countless variables just complicate the matter even more.
I feel your frustration and I agree that new gen has this annoying influence.
Personally, I think the ratings don't matter (misleading even), however I also am too bothered by the ratings.
Its ambiguous like that.
And jjk has hype going for it rn. Im not super convinced it will be inconic or legendary in the long run.

The only rating that matters is yours. Most ratings on MAL are highly inflated, I just don't trust many (it seems like the vast majority get rated 7+).

Anime like Jujutsu Kaisen is a crowd pleaser so will naturally get rated highly. I personally loved it, but can understand why others don't.

Also Death Note has some very major plotholes and bad writing in later episodes so I would definitely rate it lower than a lot of anime, I personally don't believe it deserves it's score but it doesn't matter.

I consider the ratings to be a very general indicator of how the anime has been received and what can I expect from this. That all and I'm not afraid score some beloved anime very low if I didn't like it.

Ratings do matter, but you have to remember that anyone can make a rating and do it for the wrong reason. I've met plenty of people who gave a bad anime a high rating because they are a fan of the Manga. I think it is important to be as objective as possible when It comes to ratings but not everyone thinks that way. So I do agree that there are shows that in my opinion are rated too high/low. But also I have to admit I've used the rating system to find new shows to watch and for the most part I've not been disappointed. Side note:I've noticed the most outlandish ratings usually have been attributed to shows new/airing and eventually for the most part level out years later. Just keep that in mind when checking out some newer shows based in ratings!

I mean, they’re helpful to get a general idea of if people like it or not. At the same time, that’s not always helpful for knowing if you’ll like it. I love bad romcoms with a rating around the mid to high sixes. They’re not highly rated, probably because they’re not good, but that doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy the hell out of it.

I think the scores tend to generally give a reasonable account of the shows quality. It’s true that more popular shows tend to reach higher on the rankings. However, when you have hundreds of thousands of people voting, it tends to average out it’s quality for the average person. Some people don’t like certain content so subjectivity will always play a role. People tend to like Horimiya, I rated it a 2. I rated Death Note a 10 regardless of its short comings in the 2nd half because of the impact the show had on me. It was my first favorite anime and so there are many factors when it’s comes to rating. But like most things, take the ratings with a grain of salt.

Popularity doesn’t and will never dictate the quality of a show or whether you like it or not personally. As what you said though yes Death Note is better than Jusustsu in my opinion and I I agree with you but if everyone rated it a 9 it wouldn’t suddenly improve the quality of the show. Boruto is not very well received for a good reason it’s really not that great. While I think FMAB is a grey show that is worth a 9 in my opinion it doesn’t take away the fact that it is a great show. Watch what you like rank how you like and stop worrying some much about how someone else enjoys their show and how others rank their shows. You are the deciding factor whether you think a show is good or not, not everyone else is what I say.

As for me: I never check rating (not only here on MAL but nowhere else). I always read the reviews and check the PVs then I decide. If I watch it but don’t like/enjoy it I simply drop but do not rate it low. I always rate the ones that I like though! U may ask why to do so if I myself am not concerned to check that. It’s simple: my age! Once there was a survey here where the ratio of the users’ age groups were presented- and mine is let’s say so, far from average ^^ I’ve read through the comments above and there are lots of reasonable point of views but non of them considered AGE as a factor: let’s put it simply elder people prefer different topics, genre, etc. So there are lots of highly appreciated animes that I myself not interested in at all due the the above mentioned factor ;) and vica versa of course! :D I can understand that for some people it is really a matter that their favs should ranked firsts but honestly Guys: make your own decisions! And keep in mind: the world of Anime is limitless! It’s beauty is the fact that everyone can find their Tops! So let’s enjoy!

Sadly, it's a fact.
Death Note first half is really good, and easily beats JJK, but it has a second half.
Let's say every eps are 9.5 in the first half end every eps are 7 in the second. (I'm not planning to re-watch it right now, so the first half is 25 eps and the second is 12 eps.)
The weighted average is 8.689 which is almost the same score as the current one.

On the other hand, even if it wasn't an 9.5 show like Death Note in the first half, on average JJK was better.

And before you start giving advice how I'm supposed to feel myself, I gave higher score to Death Note.

I don't look at the scores too much. yes they can be helpful to find new anime to watch but aren't always accurate.

It bothers me sometimes tho... For example: You find a underrated gem but a lot of people base there score on animation and quality instead of the enjoyment. That frustrates me too.

Don't let scores bother you! Its just a number :)

Ratings and popularity are meant to give a more or less idea about how good or bad an anime is, they are not accurate as they follow personal tastes of users so being toxic about them is just plain stupid.
But what I actually find useful is checking other people's lists because if they turn out to have similar tastes I might end up finding some hidden gems there.

It bothers me, but most people aren’t into (or at least not yet) less main stream anime’s. Like take Mob psycho 100 for example, it’s rated higher than most of if not all of the Monogatari anime series when in reality I don’t think Mob Psycho needs to be that high. Basically the more main stream the anime the higher it will most likely be rated.

I personally use ratings as a way to set my expectations for a show, particularly if I'm not watching off recommendation. But I don't use them as a judge for how I feel about it and I find that looking at the ranking breakdown (o/o for each score, how many people dropped etc.) give me a better idea for the show's quality. I would say that the issue is you don't know why people have given something the score they did, especially with the attitude of 6> meaning something is bad.
I know that for me enjoyment has more personal weighing than quality anyway

Yeah it’s a little annoying because it would be nice if we had a perfect way to determine which anime most people would like over another. It would be nice if people didn’t take it personally when their favourite show isn’t everyone else’s favourite show. Its annoying when you see a show that’s criminally underrated below a show that you don’t think much of. For me Durarara and Sonny Boy are shows that I love but it seems people didn’t to the extent I did. But in the end of the day it doesn’t matter. I like to see how ratings change for airing shows every week because if a show gradually increases or decreases every week you can see how the people who actually watch the show feel about it. For example, Takt OP Destiny dipped massively so you can tell it was good at first but didn’t hold the hype, but didn’t entirely dive bomb. Which is a better way to see how people react to a show than seeing that’s it’s score is higher or lower than another.
All in all it works as a rough way to see what’s good. High rated shows are pretty much all good. The specific order you would rank them isn’t that important to anyone but yourself.

Ratings mostly come down to enjoyability by the masses on MAL. If it’s rated high, the masses enjoyed it. You may enjoy it you may not. It may be well written it may not be. Ratings matter only to a certain extent.

For people saying popularity equals high score that is so wrong. Fruits Basket season 3 has over a 9 on MAL and it is by no means anywhere near “popular”. Same can be said about. Death Note is the number 1 most popular anime but it isn’t the number 1 highly rated.

I agree that it sucks to see a work that you love adapted in a poor fashion. But I also think it's important to give shows a rating based on what it is, not on what it could have been. Because the source material is important for the shows creation, but it's not attached to the adaptation itself. So in turn that passion for a Manga in the ratings for an anime, could be counter productive towards people who don't have that same passion, but are interested in the adaptation.

No,I never trust the ratings on MAL. I have given Jujutsu Kaisen a 5/10 and Death Note 10/10. Death Note is really underrated

I would give an anime that butchers the manga a low rating. Because I wouldn’t enjoy it since I read the manga. Like Koe no Katachi and Horimiya are both 3’s. I read the mangas first for both of those, so the adaptations felt so empty with how much they skipped

I agree that it sucks to see a work that you love adapted in a poor fashion. But I also think it's important to give shows a rating based on what it is, not on what it could have been. Because the source material is important for the shows creation, but it's not attached to the adaptation itself. So in turn that passion for a Manga in the ratings for an anime, could be counter productive towards people who don't have that same passion, but are interested in the adaptation.

Oh that’s true, but ratings are very subjective, and I honestly don’t know what I would’ve thought of them without having read the mangas for both of them first. I completed the Koe no Katachi manga around a month before watching the movie and was caught up to the Horimiya manga when the anime came out. So I just gave them my impression after watching the anime with the influence of the mangas. But I get why they’re rated the way they are
