cookies0 said: What is "really, really dumb", is to purposefully misinterpret what someone said, to make your "point" seem more valid. I never said anything about "above average means someone doesn't like xy". Based on my rating standards, 6 is barely enjoyable, 5 and below is how horrible it was. And no, the average on MAL is about 6.5-7, not 5. How am I misinterpreting what you said? Your post implies those who have a mean score of less than 6.5 don't enjoy anime. Which, as I explained, is a fairly dumb presumption to make. I'm not talking about the average score on MAL, so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up. It has 0 relevance. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |

Or is it just that they are so highly empathetic that they even empathise with anime? I've seen people who literally hand out 10s and I just don't understand, do you like anime that much that you think that all of those shows are the best anime ever? I'm not patronizing anyone or being angry. Just genuinely curious. I don't think they like every show but it's just that the shows they like outnumber the one's they don't |
 |
| For interests sake, on average I rate anime 1.77 points lower than their average while my mean score is 2.29 points lower than the global average for users or 2.01 points lower than the average anime. I'm not sure how I would do the math on this, but obviously I tend to watch lower rated anime than the average user which contributes to my low mean score. |
  |
| if i watch a show and a few eps in i don't like it..i delete it...so i only watch shows i enjoy hence the high mean score lol |
| Don't know about other people, but over the years I have stopped watching anything I deem less then a 6/10. So, my Mean Score goes up. |
 |
| I have a Mean score of 7.43. The day that mean score goes below 7 is the day I will stop watching anime. If its below 7 then that means that my Anime experience is "Fine" instead of " Good". And there is no way I will spend so many hours of my life watching something that's just "Fine" |
| I do like most of what I watch, not everything, but most of it. That's mostly because I only add shows I would probably like to my PTW list. Actually I'm sure most people with 5 or less average balanced their 6+ watching shitty OVAs and movies to laugh at how bad they are and then rate it 1-4. Another reasons of why anyone would have +7 average: 1- In some countries, you get approved at school with a 7 mark. Therefore 7 = Average inside the mind of anyone who goes/went to a school which works under that system (For example: Me) 2- Some have one or more favorite franchises, and give every installment of it a 10. That bumps the average a lot if it's a long franchise with many sequels. (For example: Me, again. I gave a 10 to almost every Monogatari Series and every installment of the Aria franchise) 3- There are people who love the medium itself, and wouldn't give a rating lower than 7 to almost anything. 4- Some people drop anime they don't like and leave them unrated. 5- Sometimes you don't like something but you can't help to give it a 7 or more because you actually aknowledge it's good. (I was bored to hell with Seirei no Moribito, but it was good and I would recommend it, so I gave it a 7) And there are more reasons, of course, but I'll just stop here. |
| They are casuals, give them time and they will realize everything is the same and they will eventually change their scores. |
| If you don't intend to use the guidelines laid out by MAL, please don't rate anything at all. It's not like many people care about other peoples rules though, so whatever. |
 |
| Well, in my case, as you can see in my list, I hand out 10s very often, it's not that I think that those animes are the best, or else they would go to my favorites selection, I just enjoyed that anime enough to give it a 10. If I were to judge the anime seriously more than the half of the animes on my list wouldn't eve get higher than a mere 7. |

Kidemonas said: Phann said: Having a high average doesn't mean we use a different system. I have a 7.6 average and nothing below 5, but I agree with you about 6-10 means good, 5 means neutral, and 1-4 means bad. The difference is that I drop things that are 1-4 for me. If my average enjoyment of anime was a 5-6, then I probably wouldn't be watching anime, I'd find something I like better to spend my time on. This is spot on. I see it exactly the same. Thirded this opinion. Sometimes I do complete the odd 3-4 show (i think i've done it 5-6 times), but I generally just drop what I don't like. |
| For me it just means I've enjoyed a good amount of what I've seen, not all of it. Sometimes I'll watch certain things again and end up changing my opinion on, but for the most part I'm just somewhat good at choosing stuff that I'm more likely to enjoy ...or at the very least tolerate enough to finish. |
| first of all, what anime they've watched? If they keep watching something of the likes of Utsu Musume Sayuri then its not a surprise if their average rating are low. then, what number is average to them? if 7 or 8 means average for them, they will most likely got high average ratings, why do they use 7 or 8 as average? probably because irl 7 in test marks are regarded as average. there's my rl friend who dislikes SAO but give it a 8 and said that 8 is 'average'. And lastly, it's pretty easy tbh to predict what score means good, average, or bad for them if you have seen all the anime they rate. |
 |
| I have a mean score of 7.09 If it wasnt for seasonal anime i would have a way higher mean score because i try to pick something that i have a good feeling about and most of the time its pretty much spot on. |

| Before I answer, I'm looking at your profile now and can see that you've just began and with a mean score of 5.63 I'd seriously recommend that you watch or add more anime titles because your score will grow. Me personally, with a score of 7.11 and my lifelong anime watching history, I like a majority of the shows I've watched in the past and present. That doesn't mean that I like everything though because I've seen way too many titles that I didn't like which results in a rating of 6.0. If you liked every show you watched then your score would be well over 8.5 or 9.0. |
 |
| I hand out 8s of the show is above average and quite decent. Which is quite easy to do for the anime medium... 7 is the average for me. My ratings don't always reflect on how much I like the said series. |
| No lol, it just means they only use half the scale. Their 5 is basically a 1. |

Since a mean score of 7 doesn't mean everything is 7 or above... |

I remember back when I started off I had a mean score of 6.88 or so and it's been dipping ever since. I've seen people with over 500 anime having mean scores > 5 and I feel like that's where I'm headed.. |
| I mean i tend to love everything i have watched, i have not added most of the anime i have watched but my rating system is 1,5,10. and my mean score is like 9.25 i believe. I just love most anime, i don't have extremely high standards. As long as it makes me feel excited, sad, happy, any kind of feeling then its done its job in my book. Not to mention i don't enjoy having to choose between 1-10 on a rating scale. |

| Nah, a higher mean just means that you're better at picking shows based on your taste, and you don't continue to watch crap shows you don't like. My mean score of 7.3 doesn't mean I like everything I watch, it means I wouldn't watch it in the first place if I wasn't enjoying it, or being marginally entertained at the very least. Of course just because something is entertaining it doesn't mean it will stay that way, hence I have scores lower than 6. The reverse can also sometimes be true, but isn't usually worth suffering through to find out. |

I'm not patronizing anyone or being angry. Just genuinely curious. NO im simply just VERY selective with the anime I watch... I always read reviews, watch trailers, and read the synopsis of an anime before I blindly watch it....This has saved me from watching alot of shitty anime....Occasionally, I will give an anime with a low rating a chance, But only if It looks real interesting and the summary is intriguing. |

| I have a mean score of around 8 and less than half of the anime I've rated are a 10. Being above a 7 doesn't mean you've given everything a 10. |

| Not really, I have a fair number of anime rated less than 6. |
 |
I didn't say that it's wrong or anything. It's just that I don't understand.. |
| I used to score 7 the series I actually thought were average. So nope, I don't think so. A lot of people differ from MAL's scoring system. |
 Ｓｗｅｅｔ♥I guess, as long as I have life, all I can do is fight with all my might. |
| I almost have a score of 7 and there's plenty of anime's I've given low ratings, so no. |
| not really. my mean score is 7.6, and there's some of anime I don't likes in my list |
| I wish i was that lucky to love everything i watched ! |
| Dreaming memes |
| Idk what anime u been watching fam, but I only select above average anime to grace my eyeballs |
  |
| For me, it's just a case of either putting in the time to do a little research to pick things I think I'll like, using the 3 episode (or less) drop rule and adjusting expectations to maximize my enjoyment. The only instance where this "failed" for me last season was Dimension W, which appeared to check off all the boxes in terms of things I like, but ultimately was a horrific trainwreck starting with awful Mansion arc. |
maybe you're just a more critical person...? |
