So here on MAL we have a score that goes from 1 to 10. If you could choose, would you change it for something like :
Or maybe even other kinds of scoring systems. Personally I think I'd like a system like the reviews, I feel that I could note things better. What's your thoughts about it ? |

I don't really know how I would implement this but I would love to see a scoring system that allows the individual to be completely honest. Which means that the mean score won't be visible until you score it yourself and the score that you set cannot be changed. |

I have a scoring system that would only work for very few people and I happen to be included in that group. I definitely wouldn't want the MAL scoring system to change to what I use. That wouldn't be fair to other users. |

So setting it and you can't delete it would be a pretty bad idea to me. |

tbh i just rate how i feel when i finish a show (even though i always know ill probably go back and rerate it) but if someone feels it is truly necessary to have a "review" thing with their score they could just take advantage of the tagging system i use the tagging system to clarify what shows i have watched dubbed and/or simulwatched with other people. ive seen a lot of people use it to help clarify their scores too. |

Even for 7/8 stars, most people just give it either a 6/7/8 star after watching it just because of the mean score. You might not think you're doing that but in reality, it is actually happening. |

The system is good, the only problem is the trolls that give 1/10 to any series they don't like, especially ones that are threatening their favorite series spot at the top. |

I mean, that's their choice, they can always just put the score as 7, I personally want the scale so I can precisely give scores to the shows, because sometimes 2 shows can be a 7, but one could be a 7.1 and the other is a 7.8. As for the 1-100 scale, it's basically the same thing. 71=7.1, 78=7.8 |

I honestly dont mind the scoring system at present, but I would have really liked if you could rate in decimals, like 9 and half or 4 and half etc. A scoring system of 1 to 5 isnt bad too imo |

I like the rating system the way it is now but I would also like the option to use decimals. It would be more exact for shows that seem more in the middle. Like, a show could have a flaw that isn't too major that it would take the show down a full point. Instead, the score could go down half a point. For Pupa, I kinda struggled between a 4 and a 5, which I gave it in a review. I'd be satisfied with a 4.5 but we don't use decimals so...yeah. |

Ideally, for the non-casual, long term anime fan, the rating should be 1-10 with infinite decimal places, or the equivalent. That way if you want to rate thumbs up-thumbs down, you can just use 1 and 10; if you want to use 5 stars, you can use 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10; if you want to use 1-10, you can use 1-10 without decimals; if you want percentages, you can use 0.1-10.0 with 1 decimal place; if you want something more, like I do, you can do 0.001-10.000. It would be a system for everyone. After you've seen a couple hundred anime, the percentage should probably be the minimum granularity, if the goal was to track the entire range. For my own satisfaction, given anime A, B, etc., it should always be possible to:

I would prefer things to be split up. Soundtrack Storyline/Enjoyment Characters Animation Give each one 2.5 in 0.5 increments. This way people will have to think about more than just how they felt about it. Tired of seeing people say, Animation was amazing, characters were great, soundtrack was good.. but the story.. EH. 5/10! Like.. whot? |

Add decimals, and an option to replace your personal numeric ratings with just a Yes/No on whether you recommend people watch the show or not. It's nice having a rating for yourself to remember your feelings towards an anime, but sometimes you just want to keep it simple instead of overcomplicating it. |

I would like a score system that goes from -2 to +2, in five whole-number increments. That is essentially how my current scoring system works. Just that I had to force it to fit a 1-10 scale, or rather, a 1-9 scale. I prefer this because: 1. It simplifies the score into categories with clear, consistent meaning: hate, dislike, meh, like, love. 2. It is dissociated from the five-star movie rating system and any "grading" system like /10 or /100.

I personally despise 1-5 ratings systems. 3 in a 1-5 system tends to encompass 5-7 in a 1-10 system, and that's where a lot of the nuance is. |

well, I definitely don't want star rating, that's even less accurate than the 1 to 10 score. I want a score with decimals or a percentage or a rating for each aspect like plot, characters, etc could work as well I guess. |

I'm fine with it as it is now. There might be "better" systems, easier, more complex, fancier, more effective or whatnot. But in the end there will still be people complaining, there will still be some who abuse whatever system is in place. And there will still be people who feel the need to tell others how they are supposed to use their ratings. |

If you divide a 10 point system into a 5 star system you get 2 points for each star. Some sites use a 5 star system, but with half stars, in this case 4,5 half stars would be equivalent to a 9, which you can round to 5 stars. You're the one who's changing things here, but I'm not saying you're wrong. Everyone has their own methods for rating stuff with systems that work best for them. I used the full 10 points system until now, and I'll probably switch back to it in the future, but for now the 5 star system works better for me, because I realised I don't have to overthink as much about the score anymore. The main flaw with the 10 points system is that there is no "middle". People say 5 is average, but the middle is actually 5.5, and since we can't rate with decimals, the average could as well be 6 if you round it up. Things get so much more simple when rating from 1 to 5, because 3 is obviously the average, so 4-5 is basically above the average and 1-2 is below the average. |

More than 1-10 scoring system is a ridiculous idea.. People will be more influenced by mean score.. If A is rated 8.4 for example and B rated 8.6 and they like show A more a little, they will do useless thing like rated B as 8.3 and rated A as 8.7, I doubt they can really differentiate between 8.3 and 8.7 nor they can really build 100 tiers in their ranking ... |

I'm kinda unsure. 10 scores is a perfect option. I like using all 10 scores and I like when people do the same. But it seems that the most of community use only about five scores to rate their anime, and probably 5-score system could be more accurate. But imo it's kinda primitive. On the other hand, scoring by percents is too much |

I think implementing decimals (at least .5) would help setting some shows apart, because right now I have low/high 7's and 8's and so on that are not quite 6's or 9's, for example. Yeah, anilist lets you choose your preferred method of rating - even with emojis - but I question how well do they translate to percentages when they do overall means on shows. |
Jun 25, 2019 3:11 AM

Personally, I'd like mal to add decimals, but, if they fear so many scores might be overwhelming for people who don't really care about scoring too much, I think adding only the .5 would be a nice compromise. |

Actually, it all depends on how you see every number. 3 is in the middle of the 1-5 rating system, so that's why for me for me 3 stars means average, in others words, not too good but not necessarily bad either, just okay for the most part. Now let's take a look at the 10 point system and see which number would mean average: 5.5 is in the middle so the average would be 5 or 6. I've already talked about it above. If you look at things this way than you can definetely rate an anime that excels with 7, because 7 is already above average. |
