I do not mean to be insulting, but I find people are very generous to this movie. I love the monogatari series but this movie is only 1 hour in length (3episodes), whereas I see people rating Naruto, One Piece and Bleach Very low ratings despite seeing hundreds of episodes. This isn't me complaining, I'm just wondering, what can be done within 3 episodes of time, that makes it so amazing?

Its not about quantity it's about quality. Shaft got a home run with this trilogy in fact with the whole saga.

40% of all the Naruto eps are fillers, so that's like almost 300 eps where nothing significant happens.

Feature films are a related but different medium from TV.
Shorter length and longer gaps between releases = different pacing and different priorities so expecting them to be rated on the same "things achieved per hour" standard is pointless.

length should not matter. It is also a 3 hr movie, which is long by movie standards. Perhaps you prefer seasons over movies cause you prefer longer more in depth stories.

This is one of the dumbest opinions I have ever seen, by your logic a movie's quality can never compare to a long spanning series.

realistically, yes. Assuming you don't hate watch, longer shows should be better as they can keep you entertained for wayyy longer. Unless of course, this movie is so enjoyable you rewatch it many times.

is a Feature film the same as a movie, I've never heard of this before? Any how I expect the same standards from any thing I watch.

Both of your arguments fall apart when you realize that length / quantity of episodes does not equate to quality and when you realize that One Piece doesn't have low ratings at all and is around the top 50 sitting at an 8.68 at the time of writing this. How could an 8.68 possibly be low?

Not true, when a movie is so enjoyable you rewatch it many times, I've seen Koe No Katachi (2 Hours = 6 episodes), 4 times now which makes it as good as a 24 episode season. You have to ask yourself for movies you would never rewatch if they're really as good as you think.

That makes no sense, there's no such thing as factoring cumulative enjoyment, a 1,000 episode series uses the same rating system as a 20 minute special.

Rewatching is a completely separate issue, that has more to do with personal preference than any inherent measure of quality.

Yeah it has a pretty good score, I don't think the length itself equates to quality but rather, the time YOU spent watching. If you dropped a long show it isn't as good.

That is simply not how ratings work, but there's no point comparing a movie to a series spanning hundreds of episodes, that's pointless.

In my opinion, every anime is infinite in length as you can rewatch as many times as you want. So the question is why do people only watch 3 episodes of something they consider their favourite, but hundreds of something they claim to hate. To my this is very interesting.

It's called novelty, human beings are always craving new forms of stimulation in our fast paced technological world. It's just a preference whether you get more enjoyment from rewatching shows you've already seen compared to new ones. No one said it makes sense to watch a long-running show if you dislike it, but many people are completionists or masochists here, so take that how you will.

MAL ratings are not based off rewatchability. An anime doesn’t need to rewatched to be good hahahaha

Kizumonogatari is easily one of the highest quality anime movies ever made. All 3 of these movies have better quality than most one piece, bleach, and naruto episodes. But of course it would, they’re movies with movie budgets. Idk what point you’re trying to make. Kizu is good, one piece is good. Both are different obviously

It’s just ratings. For example, I generally don’t like movies as much as long form storytelling because there’s isn’t as much narrative or character depth in film compared to a full length series. Between a movie I would give a 7 and a tv series I would give a 7, I’d prefer the series generally, but I’d still give both a 7. I wouldn’t necessarily rate a thing lower just because it’s a different media type. That doesn’t make much sense to me. Ratings are generally arbitrary and somewhat meaningless anyways, as they’re just there to quantify enjoyment. Also things should generally be compared to other things in the medium. Movies and shows are naturally trying to accomplish different things. Comparing something like Princess Mononoke to Fate Zero is like comparing apples to oranges in my opinion.

I guess these people would need a different rating system to mine,

I haven't got bleach a 10, because I haven't seen it, and if I dropped it early on I would have only seen let's say 5 episodes giving it a low score. You see my rating system is always two steps a head of any counter arguement, as facts should be.

if a movie was so good, you would assume it would be rewatched due to how short of a time it would take up.

I don’t think how long something keeps you entertained should matter, rather how much you like it.

With your logic some boring trash which I hated but watched for 24 episodes should be rated higher than a 2 hour movie that made me shed tears.

Ratings should be based on enjoyment and how much you actually liked the show along with its quality. Not how long the show was

Rating something based purely on how long you spend watching it is not indicative of how much you enjoyed it or how good the show was. Anything can keep someone occupied for a few hours. Whether or not that show was actually good is more important for ratings; how excited it made you feel, how much fun you had, if production quality was good, etc. How long you kept watching isn’t indicative of quality or value.

yes it should be, that is your real taste, you hate to admit it, but you spent your own time watching it and were convinced, carrying on watching each episode was the correct choice. That 2 hour movie you apparently love so much (for me it's koe no katachi) would only need to be seen 4 times to reach the 24 episode mark.

“Factually proves that they like it more” is false, it just means they put up with it for longer.

While I understand your rationale for calculating the value of a show purely through how long someone watched it, I believe it’s not accurate as rewatching a good show is not equivalent to watching new episodes of a longer series.

Even if I had the time to rewatch a movie like your name, I wouldn’t because I’ve already seen it along with all its plot twists. On the other hand, I would find it appealing to watch a new episode of some okayish because I’m curious to know what happens.

Because of this I believe rewatching a show is a lot more valuable than just the time you spent, because it means you enjoyed it enough to go through it even after you know everything that happens.

If you truly want to calculate the value of a show then there’s no need to go further than to Wikipedia to see how much money the show made for its producer. Because in the end “value” is just the money earned, right? The show wouldn’t have been made without the money.

the plot holes are totally irrelevant, take you as an example, you completed Original Naruto and made it all the way into the 400's of Shippuuden. Congrats, Naruto appears to be your second favourite show, unless you've rewatched some stuffs.

Because length is not equal to quality. Longer shows means more potential to find inconsistency and plot holes. That's what happened to SnK, where the whole S4P2 is a big big plot hole.
Second, you are also mixing quality and enjoyment. My list doesn't. Yes, I enjoyed Ex-Arm too, but still it's one of the worst series. That's why its rating is a 1 on my list.
And to answer your question, yes, FLCL is perfectly covered my taste, what I look for in a show, while SAO never.

Movies tend to have higher quality and a plot/arc/set of arcs in just 1 to 2 hours of film. As for example, Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart vs movie 1 (since I watched it recently, not using it as an example for general quality lol) has a higher screen quality and 16:9 screen rather than the typical old box size used for the TV series.

For Kizu, there's also the fact that it has been delayed by a lot of years, and iirc it had about 2 years of development without counting that delay. If you compare that to, for example, One Piece that has to get an amount of arcs/episodes ready for a more limited time, then you can pretty much see the difference.

Another good example of movie quality, though original, is Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san (which I highly recommend :)). Most of movie versions for popular shows can serve as an example too, as they can add new scenes or change animation sequences/quality (case of Madoka Magica 1 and 2 movies) and you can really see the difference in there.

TL;DR: more time + budget = better quality.
I'm, by no means, saying that long-running shows are bad, btw. Just that, in general, movies are treated better.

Only you can save yourself.
I only know what I know, I guess?

People aren't being generous, they are being honest. Length of a series is not equaling to the quality anyway.
