I don't think I have ever seen such a polarising view between the reviews and the actual score of this anime
| A significant majority of the reviews of My dress-up darling that are at the top of the page are giving it a 4/10 or lower despite the fact that they make up less than 2% of the ratings. Are the people that hate this anime really that much more vocal than the people that enjoy it? |

| Hot takes bring more attention, so those reviews get more updoots. There are actually way more positive reviews, but since they are just like any other, they barely get any attention. You can look up any anime page and you'll see the same thing. |
 |
| This happens a lot and it happens the other way too where the top reviews are mostly positive but the score is relatively low (Ex. Darling in the FranXX). I’m not really sure why but I think it just depends on the show cause some have good reviews high score, good reviews low score, bad reviews high score, and bad reviews low score. I think it’s mostly just random and depends on what reviews hit or not. |
| Steins gate 0 has top review score as 3/10 with a mal score of 8.52 Slime s2 has top review score as 3/10 with a mal score of 8.4 fairy tail has 2/10 with 7.59 mal score, bnha s4 has 2/10 with 7.95 and s3 had 3/10 with 8.09 and s4 has 1/10 with 7.4 This not as bad |

Actually this is quite common,take AoT S4P2 for example it has a score of 8.89 currently but the top review is of 2/10. Same for Steins Gate it's literally the 3rd highest anime on the site but has a top review of 3/10. Hot takes get more attention, this is evident. I haven't checked but pretty sure many other popular animes will have the same thing. |

| It’s because it was getting popular and certain fandoms get scared their obsessions will be taken out of the top of the list as a result. I won’t point any fingers but something similar happened when Fruits Basket made number one on the list, it got review bombed with a bunch of negative reviews and ratings. That’s honestly why the top 5 has barely changed over the years. That’s why I don’t trust reviews on here anymore, you never know if it’s an accurate review or someone hate bombing a title. I bet you the same thing’s gonna happen to Chainsaw Man when it comes out since it’s another anticipated possible hit. |

| Negative reviews are less common when an anime is well loved and people who don't like a hyped anime will be looking for a review they can relate to. So the upvotes from people looking for someone who is expressing their negative opinion will coalesce around the smaller number of negative reviews. |
| No, it's just that people who enjoy this anime have problems. Deep, personal problems. |
 |
| This is precisely one of the reasons why you shouldn't read reviews. Reviewers are minorities so using them as a source of reliance on whether you should start something is not... So great. |
| Negativity is always louder. Thats just how it is. |
 |
| Most people would say "The negatives are always louder, normal hater behavior". I wouldn't go that route because it is lazy. The reason that negative reviews in certain shows like My Dress-Up Darling are on top comes from the fact that they are anime that doesn't resist the usual analysis about its qualities, since its popularity comes from superficial characteristics that are certainly unrelated to a deeper purpose, or to say, anime that are certainly not meant to be smart and are potentially created within the margins of the fantasies of the author. When an anime is not meant to be smart it is harder to make a positive review beyond one that complicately say "I enjoyed it", while people who doesn't like the anime have certainly many logical reasonings about their opinion, so they easily validate the opinions of people who find the same shortcomings. Can you make a positive review about a dumb anime? Yes, if you try to understand what they were coming for instead of elaborating the review from what you want them to create (Fanservice critics are guilty of this, the fanservice is not the problem of the anime, they clearly wanted to make fanservice, not an issue by itself). A positive review like that will always be more complicated since it needs a bit more of knowledge about the decision-making that could make something shallow/obscure great, and probably wouldn't fit this anime anyways because the main issue is that the romance fails miserably |
| @Gween_Gween the main issue is that the romance fails miserably the romance is not failed because its just not a focus this season its building their relationship to each more on hints but not heavy to it. The main girl realised her feelings early is good. Its slow progress but for it saying its failed is false because they dont have that realization to each other. Which can be build up to be romantic with the future |

I said that it failed because the approach was wrong, the characters didn't have symbiotic relationships that allow the romance to flourish naturally, the interactions didnt have the back and forth because Marin just switched up constantly around her two personalities, and Marins get in love with Goujo just by being pretty much perfect in plenty of aspects. Not saying that there werent good parts, the Motel scene was really good, but the anime lacked that kind of moments that give that tension because of the aforementioned issues |

This season has no lacking of their dynamic because its the focus of the anime.

| This is one of the reasons why revamping the review system is very much needed. Mushoku Tensei has a similar case too. |

| Who actually have the time to write a review lol ? It just says a lot about the person. |
 |
| I don't even think you should even pay attention to reviews nowadays since everything to what they said isn't objective and it's meant to be subjective lol |

| Read the review. I for one agree with everythin it says. The interactions between Gojo and slut are boring and almost frustrating. We're here for boobs. |

| Normally top reviews of popular seasonals are always bad despite the overall score. Its not just MDUD go to so many series and you will see like some random critic go 2/10 and make an essay on it. |
| Who cares? I actually prefer having dissenting opinions among the top reviews so it doesn't turn into a 10/10 circlejerk. The people rating shows 10/10 simply because they enjoyed it are not the same people reading reviews and finding them helpful. |

Zytoep said: it is. but circlejerking where is it? They review it as subjective as possible and with their deep fake analysis and some which get clicks are the ecchi buzzword. So being supportive with dissenting opinion is as worse as circlejerking which this anime has not happening at all. Its on about the reviews which is not that measurement to say the shows quality. Because its easily manipulated. Who cares? I actually prefer having dissenting opinions among the top reviews so it doesn't turn into a 10/10 circlejerk. The people rating shows 10/10 simply because they enjoyed it are not the same people reading reviews and finding them helpful. And others give it low its okay but judging the anime in through reviews are not okay because it filled with bias negative or positive which in MAL case is mostly negative and they are proud of it |
