So recently these forums have been having giant debates on the two rating systems, rating based on the length of the show, and the far better system which I use, rating based on how much you've watched.

Here's why we who rate based on how much we've watched are far more intelligent.

If you rate based on length, Sazae san instantly becomes better than normal length 12 ep anime. But if you rate on watch time, all animes are infinite in length, and you can prove scientifically that a movie you've rewatched 10 times is better than a 12 ep anime cause you've spent more time watching the movie. Length based raters don't have this advantage.

Anyways, I encourage anyone who rates on length to change their mind on their ridiculous system and realise watch time based ratings are far superior in every way.

would love to hear some counter arguments

No one rates on length, mostly everyone rates on enjoyment and quality and it has nothing to do with watch time or length, there are many shows you think about after you watch, then is it watch time? What about shows you watch while you do something else? Both systems are very flawed and make no sense to me, but if I had to choose between only those two I guess watch time makes more sense? But still not

Or people can just rate anime even if they only watched it once? No one gives a shit how someone rates anime... God that you even have time to think about this stuff...

Nope. No matter how much OP tries to push it this will not become a thing.

@BestListMAL it's still bad since it doesn't take into account a lot of stuff, digimon tamers is one of my favourites but it wasn't available anywhere where I am for years (even on pirate sites), I still prefer it to stuff I watched way more because it was what I could see or just what other family members watched

I can now confidently say that convenience store microwave Ramen is objectively far superior to any 5-star restaurant course; given that i ate the former almost every day when I was in college, but could only splurge for the latter like once a year. Flawless logic.

Bro why don't you try something different? It's time for some character development
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

I rate solely on enjoyment. If I felt pure joy watching the show it will get a 7-9 so if it made me happy I will give it a high score becuse that what matter to me. For example the old godzilla movie which people today would say are pure crappy B-movies and sure they are b-movies but they bring me joy. Frack the quallity .

I didn't realize something only one person cares about enough to keep bringing it up was considered a "debate".

Lol what debate? I rate on frame count, btw. Which makes Akira the best anime of all time.

I'm level on MAL-Badges. View my badges.

Lol not agaaain. Is anyone's rating based on the show's length? If not then you're kinda arguing against nobody.

"recently having giant debates", name a thread which wasn't created by you, low effort thread, deserve low effort answer.

We can think about creating a thread value. If it is done once but correctly everyone enjoys it, but whenever it is made multiple times with the same topic over and over no one enjoys it, we can apply it into anime.

Here we are again.

If the movie does equal or better job than long running anime than the long running anime/manga creator/s should take a lesson that in shorter span of time another creator/s were able to create a media with bigger values of enterteinmant, alongside with story, score, characters, world building and other stuff.

To remind that I've somewhere noted that I've rewatched Bleach so many times that it is at the level of insanity and yet I still like a good quality movies/short titles.
I found my screenshot of my calculations [can't tell if I didn't make a mistake back than, just to update stuff said, BrianxStephanie finished cour 2 of TYBW already, Awake is on Fullbring Arc, while Project deleted/resigned from Bleach reactions, none new youtubers as I don't recall watching anyone else, and many of theory/analysis stuff on Bleach stuff so the numbers has only increased]
