A number is just a number. It's still possible to like something you don't want to rate highly for whatever reason. Especially true if someone has a rating system that only makes sense to them. |

They're probably elitists who think giving anything higher than 6 is reserved for like 1 or 2 anime. |

It all depends on how they rate anime. I think 5 is an average score while a lot of people think 7 is an average score. Maybe they think 4 is an average rating for an average anime. |

They don't hate anime. They just have shit taste. Not enough ecchi and fanservice. |

I'm glad this was done with 4.00 rather than 5.00 because of my own mean of 4.91 (I swear it's going up, I just haven't really completed many anime recently since I'm watching a 14 cour anime). I would say it depends on their rating system. If they use a 6-10 scale shifted down to 1-5 then I doubt they enjoy anime much less than someone who uses a traditional 6-10 scale. If they use the full scale but watch a lot of short films, music videos, and commercials that they rate low but don't spend much time on in comparison to the other anime they watch then by anime count it may be that they don't enjoy "most of the anime" they watch, but in terms of time or even episode count they are enjoying most of what they watch then I wouldn't say they hate anime. If they pick up all the anime that airs each season (40+ series) and rate most of the 2- 6 because they truly aren't enjoying them but are just suffering through them in order to stay updated with everyone else and be able to give full informed reviews of all the anime of every season then I would say that even if they don't hate anime as a medium (why would they still be watching if they did?), they do hate most of the anime they watch. That kind of person may enjoy hating on stuff so the enjoyment may come from expressing their unenjoyment (eg. writing reviews of their hatred). If someone watching the Super Bowl for the commercials and dreads the actual game because that isn't what they're there for it doesn't mean they hate football. If someone watches anime to criticize it that doesn't mean they hate anime because the act of watching the anime isn't what they were intending to get enjoyment from. |

It's just how people score. If in your perspective they're wasting their lives, let them. Don't waste yours worrying about how they spend their lives, spend your time deciding how you want to spend your time. :P yes, good point. |

They're probably harsh-rating completionists who pick up shows on a whim. Also, I bet their lists are full of shorts, OVAs, and seasonal anime. Doesn't mean they hate all anime though, just that they have no real standards when choosing what to watch. I'm sure they also have shows they love, otherwise they'd find a better hobby. |

Basically, bad work doesn't invalidate good work. And it's not best to generalize, period. Some anime are good, some anime's bad. Whether it's *most* or not is besides the point. But I guess this is a fair question, I don't think it was phrased very well though.. |

I disagree with how most people rate things. I think a 5 isn't a bad score, it means the show was average and didn't impress me too much, but I still finished it willingly. For most on MAL though, a 5 means don't touch with a ten foot pole. The way I see it, if I'm more harsh, my highly scored anime has a lot more meaning to me. If everything I watched was rated a 7-10, then those scores would lose all meaning. My scores are a way of ranking the shows I like in groups. In general, I ignore what the numbers mean. If two shows on my list share the same score, that means I believe they are on about the same level. It helps me remember how I feel about shows. |

Why the hate for Akira? I can understand not liking it, but putting it on the same level of SAO? Do you not care for visuals at all? As much of a "classic" or "must-watch" anime as this may be, its only strengths are the same as a generic explosion film. There isn't a story to this anime, at least not one that I could follow. It appears to have a rebellion type plot with some sci-fi mixed in, but I couldn't pinpoint where the beginning, middle, and end were. This is "adapted" from a highly acclaimed manga and was even directed by the mangaka himself so the poor adaptation may be due how little time it had to adapt what was released of the manga at the time. The action scenes are done well and the colour palette is impressive seeing as what was available at the time the movie was made. Unfortunately all of the characters look similar and in a fast paced movie it can be hard to know what characters are in a scene without other characters referring to them by name. Since the movie is action based the characters don't address each other too often so you may watch through an entire scene without even knowing which characters were in it. The sound effects were done well and sound quite realistic when they need to be. The music also sets the tone of the scenes well. The voice actors do a much better job than the character designer and the characters do sound different. Their voices also sound good in general and make the movie come alive more than anything else does. If you have a good knowledge of seiyuu you should be able to tell the characters apart by voices. In addition to not being drawn differently, the characters also don't differ too much in their personalities. The antagonist was completely forgettable, the protagonists form a group consciousness which makes it hard to follow which character did what, and the female characters look and act so similar to the male characters that it can be hard to even know that they're female to begin with. One character they designed differently from the rest was some sort of alien, but he also has a female counterpart who is indistinguishable from what he would look like in drag. I personally couldn't find anything to enjoy about this anime. The battles were nice, but if that's all you're there for then the sad attempt at trying to give the movie some sort of plot could just be classified as filler. The story feels like a dementia anime but lacks the satisfaction of understanding it almost like a maze with an entrance and no exit. There isn't much to this anime at all. The sound is good and the sakuga is nice to look at, but from a storytelling standpoint there isn't anything of any value. I'm even planning on making a recommendation between it and Glasslip for both being anime that have good sound and visuals but shitty story and characters (I love making unhelpful recommendations and then not actually publishing them into the MAL rec system). |

No, they wouldn't be on an anime forum if they hated it, unless they're a very pathetic troll with nothing else to do. I think they just use a different scoring system, I've seen some people who use 3 as average, or maybe they watch a lot of bad shorts, or maybe they're just really critical, even a 4 is relatively enjoyable for me, so I understand that. Of course, it's possible they're just trying to be part of the imaginary cool kids club, but I think there's a different reason for each person. |

And tearing a lousy series a new asshole is cathartic.

Then there are just series which are just IMO bad, (not trying to offend anyone who likes these) Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Plastic Nee-san, Golden Time, Charlotte, Kaze no Stigma just to name a few. Pretty much whatever I gave a 1/10 I don't think is that great. Then there's stuff that's so bad it's kind of funny like Inferno Cop. |
