When rating anime seasons do you view it as "standalone" or a continuing point?

I always rate based on what I felt about the specific season so standalone.

I rate each work separately, more or less. Giving the franchise one all-inclusive score doesn't seem right to me when new seasons or films in the franchise don't always offer the same level of entertainment or production quality.

Shows like One Piece, Bleach, and Detective Conan for example are blocked in one so rating per season is impossible while Attack on Titan, Haikyuu, and Gintama have their separate sections. I don't know why that is so...I can understand with Gintama because of the name difference..is it the long gap in release dates perhap?

It's simply how they release it. One Piece airs weekly and so it isn't separated by season. While something like My Hero Academia for instance airs seasonally. Meaning they will produce either single cour (1 season = ~12 episodes) or double cour (2 seasons = ~24 episodes ) and then stop. So it's separated by multiple seasons.



Hmmm I see I see. I somehow feel it's sort of... can't say unfair but like unbalanced? Since it's a continuation but I do see how like some anime have good S1 but then by S3 everything just exploded so having a bad rating on S3 at least won't affect the S1... not that weekly animes get that option X)

Idk but for animes with several season MAL reslly should try to add an AVERAGE /OVERALL score too, like REAL SERIES DO... that way you can have

Example : aot season 1 ... 8,48 ... amount of users 1,715,339
Season 2 ... 8,44 ... amount of users 1,003,285 ( - 712.054 users)
Season 3 ... 8,59 ... amount of users 748,520 ( - 254.765 users)
S 3 pt 2 ... 9,10 ... amount of users 700,075 ( - 48.445 users in same season )
S finale ... 9,17 ... amount of users 276.010 ( - 424.065 is airing so i asume will increased)

Average /overall = 8,756 ... so the score will include all season.

Now why you asked, cuz is a whole show with a continuity ... like GOT, and all series with seversl season on idbm , you got GENERAL SCORE OF THE SHOW AND then i dividual rating ... episode rating will be asking to much from mal staff

They have so much issues avoiding voting brigade . Why do i use AoT as example, to make it short cuz im annoying on how they act that their score is better than any show WHEN IS HAS SIGNIFICALLY less users than other shows, will lead in increaisng of the RATING, which is an ilusion since only loyal fans stay voting 10/10 and people who drop it didnt review, look at the ampunt of people who have drop this show. If is such a masterpiece, why many people leave it ???

Casual viewers who cuould rste this show 7 or 8 also leave, avoiding to low the score BUT ANYWAY, WITH ALL THIS FACTS, REAL PROOF AOT fans blame full metal alchemist fandom for their scoring decreasing , DUDE BE REAL, MORE PEOPLE WILL WATCH IT LATER, THEREFORD score itsome will find it good and score it 7, who knows, i never seen such an entitled fandom before, that instead of realising for all people will score 10/10 they blame it on OTHERS and their

Conspiro paranoic delusion that MAL is rigid or benefic a 1 year old show that score 9 in japan last year of most BELOVED MANGAS EVER... 12 year old manga , respect your elders hahahah

You dont have to like it but score it 1 out pf 10 is ridiculous and just show how inmature in general are tye new users of this site, they are making so hard fpr general public to believe in the scoring system.


Yeah I feel like there should be a mean score for those whose seasons are in separate postings since they are from the same story so at least we'd get the feel of the whole and not chopped. Or like make all postings same and not have them different like one is in a block while another is per season. Thought I guess doing it for long running shows will create a whole bunch of clatter.. imagine separate 22 seasons! yiip

I rate as both. For a sequel to be good it needs to be good on its own while also continuing the story in an interesting way. For example, I think SnK s2 as a standalone is about as good as SnK s1, but my rating for s2 is 2 points higher because it does a great job of expanding on the universe.
