Sorta. I generally stick to shows around the 8 range so my scores are higher because I enjoy these shows for the most part. I am not too hard to please as I don't go into these shows trying to be different and attempt to dislike them. I go in expecting to have a good time and for them to be solid.

No I rate it on my own, but it sometimes affects whether I watch it.

Yes but I don't know how much it influences my score, I just know that it does

No they don't influence my own scoring.

Not at all. I rate anime based off how I felt about it.

I used to do so, but lately I just use MAL as a tool to find new stuff and then I try them out. What is a 9 for the general public could be less than a 6 for me and so on.

No, i don't let the MAL scores influence my ratings at all, if you checked my list you will see that i have rated plenty of anime very highly (8-10) that are "low" rated on MAL and the opposite is also true for rating very highly acclaimed anime on MAL, very low (3-5).

I feel like it influences me only if I'm uncertain as how I feel. Like, if I go into a show and I'm enjoying it or hating it immensely then I know, generally, where my score is going to land. If the show is pretty average and doesn't have anything going for it too much in either direction I'll tend to look more at what other people are saying and try to see where I fall.

only in moments when i feel indecisive of my score. i'd also refer to the reviews and forums, by extension, to formulate my ratings better.

For example : I think this anime deserve 7. But MAL's score is 6. Then i will it 8.


well no.

certainly have lowly rated shows that i rated highly, and highly rated shows that i have rated lowly. but i never do it BECAUSE of the mal score.

i do look at scores and reviews to see the public view.

but even then the reviews are the main thing that can change my mind from time to time.

No way, sometimes the taste of the people that score the show is different than mine.
