FMAB Fandom don't bombard the anime who gets the high rating , It's just a Myth that has been spread in internet badly . They don't, this shit is baseless accusations which have been thrown around for years despite FMA:B having more fake 1 votes than the majority of the shows that people have claimed were "brigaded" by FMA:B fans.

The vast majority of the time shows went down because they just weren't that good but were overhyped by day one super fans, and then brought down by more reasonable casual voters. For instance bleach, that shit was not that good, A-tier season, sure, but I wouldn't say S, let alone best of all time. Now with Frieren FOR ONCE there is a show that can be argued to actually deserve the hype

In 2021 they totally did bombard new top 1 anime, i remember just casually looking at Fruits Basket season 3 and AOT season 4 part 1 rating, and seeing so many 1 rating. When i entered their page, they simultaneously gave FMAB a 10.

Those wouldn't matter. MAL never takes those ratings into consideration even if they are shown on the stats page, + MAL recently did a bot purge or an algorithm change, which has definitely shown results. A lot donghuas got a score boost that were affected due the botting, (similar case is with the manga section, you can see that there are some new additions in the top 15, which popped out of nowhere)

So even if the fan base DID downvote other shows, and even if those accounts WERE affecting the ratings (which they weren't), the recent purge should have removed them and the score should have changed of both FMAB and the shows that were being downvoted, but the score remained unchanged.

TYBW is s tier, no doubt. It is at least at the evel of soul society arc.

Why do you need to downplay it, it was really and sincerely that good.

We say they do that because they really do that, I've seen many times fmab fans downrating other anime like Kaguya-sama S3, Fruits Basket the Final Season and also Frieren, but in the latter's case, they couldn't match the Frieren fans

FreshSalmon827 said:
I dunno if you're new to this community. The age of your account suggest you are but every single anime that has temporarily surpassed fmab in score besides frieren have been rating bombed. There was constant threads about it whenever it did happen and from 2020-2023 I would track the stats since I had a lot of free time, I wish I kept all the data I might still have some of it somewhere. The mass deletions on mals side of fake ratings also show they were review bombed.

I do believe all the shows would have dropped in score eventually naturally but it's silly to claim if didn't happen.

Fruits Basket, Attack on Titan, Gintama, Bleach, Love is War and I think Demon slayer. All of these just from the top of my head I'm sure there's more that happened longer ago, are shows that received thousands of 1 star ratings precisely after surpassing fmab in score and threads were made of people acknowledging this happening. So much so that now when posting threads on fmabs page there is a warning reminding that discussions on the ratings of shows are banned as I'm sure you've seen.

Ultimately, it doesn't really matter. Fmab is an incredibly popular and well-regarded show that the vast, vast majority of fans are not weird about. It's just a loud minority that are weird. When people criticise them, try not to take it personally because they aren't talking about you, if they are then maybe self-reflect on that a little.

But that still affected the rating. What we see is weighted Mean not absolute mean. For instance Frieren's absolute mean rating is 9.2 and Weighted Rating is 9.35. It would've been heigher if Certain Fanbase did downvoated it until 1 score got 1.1% rating. And we all know Frieren is a kind of anime which can't be hated.

Confused_100 said:

Weird you say that but FMAB shouldn’t be hated either… God even your reply makes zero sense

Cielord said:
@Rishon007 I read it, that's why i know it's irrelevant. If you take a few seconds to think why, you would understand that, but it seems you aren't willing to, so i'll explain it to you. I talked about the rating and ranking in 2021, since then MAL did multiple bot purges, and hundreds of thousands of new users watched and completed the respective shows.

The scores of the shows i talked about not changing, doesn't disprove the downvoting FMAB fans did.

ANIk_003 said:

It should be hated because the 1.1% of scoring 1 is done by FMAB fans it I may so bold. Because have you watched Frieren? It's painfully obvious that who watched 3 episodes and interested in fantasy show can't just finish the show and give it a '1'.

Confused_100 said:

By your logic, what would make anyone give FMAB a 1? Cmon be genuine. I have friends who see frieren as a slog to get through due to its starting slow pace.

What would someone in their right mind act like FMAB didn’t get bombed more?

ANIk_003 said:

So first of all Pacing of Frieren is supposed to be like that. People who knows a bit watches shows like that expecting that, and if you realize that yeah fantasy isn't my thing, just drop and move on.

And isn't it obvious that that FMAB would get the most of the 1s because of karma, come on FMAB has a bad wide reputation of downvoating so AOT, Bleach, Demon Slayer,JJK ... people would obviously do it to fmab what it did to them. But I have to say that there are good community also like HxH, Gintama, Frieren, they don't downvoat.
What's with u anyway, just have to protect a broken reputation of a fandom which will not make u money, for me call AOT, OP, HxH shit and I'm okay fine no reply, no defending with my life. Come use your wisely. Every time I see you defend defend and defend fmab, want to be Rahul Dravid or what?

Confused_100 said:

It downvoted JJK, Demon Slayer and Bleach? Lol. Where did you get this lie from? JJK fandom downvoted Demon Slayer. JJK never went up to begin with for FMAB to do anything to it especially Demon slayer… Bleach fell ordinarily, even see it’s current place. AOT yes I agree but karma? Again lol.

FMAB only started downvoted and are heavily blamed for 2 animes: AOT and Gintama.

Where did you get your information? Now back to the point, you believe that in any website, there is zero chance for anime fandoms to do what happened here? 100% you will find it and maybe even worse.

To me, FMAB fandom admits when they actually do it. Aka what happened in Gintama and AOT incident. The rest? Zero but fake accusations done to soil the fandom’s reputation more. Did it deserve it? Yes because again they aren’t free of blame but acting like all the review bombs are coming from is just plain misinformation and gaslighting.

And yes I do believe people would give frieren 1. Alot of animes everywhere get 1s. The difference is the amount of 1s it gets, not the percentage because by your logic, FMAB is the most victimised anime on this website.

Confused_100 said:
Now FMAB isnot free of accusations. The thing they actually did was review bomb war with AOT/SnK fandom. Not to say AOT fandom is free from blame here.

Other fandoms is a question. Fruits basket did get review bombed by FMAB, ironically even kaguya fandom review bombed it. As for kaguya and oshi no ko, that fandom was insufferable. They would do the problem and then act like the other started it first but then you see a full attack on FMAB. Yes you can see it in history of the website as FMAB fell alooooot in that period of time.

The community as a whole was so focused on getting any anime above FMAB that they started a rumour of any anime getting more ratings get review bombed by it. It was act ridiculous.

Does it mean FMAB is free of it? Nope because they are the ones that did this to themselves when it went a war with AOT.

Now Frieren deserves it eventhough it is unfinished which is its biggest disadvantage because the story and characters could literally turn to insufferable.

All I thought after FMAB got dethroned is finally it will be done with the weird gaslighting accusations but I guess I was wrong. Found multiple people here acting the same problem. God this will never end because these fandoms are so fake at this point, I am actually getting disgusted everytime I see it.

GTRaijin said:

Bro, what in the fuck's name are you getting so serious about? Who gives a shit about this nonsense at this point? It barely affects the scores in the end anyway.
There will always be people who don't have anything better to do in their free time so they start doing this bullshit just to feel better about themselves or whatever.

Confused_100 said:

You really believed that FMAB was doing it? Dude if that was the case, Frieren wouldn’t be number 1. Your literal coping and blaming of one fandom when most fandoms you listed are worse like kaguya fandom who literally using way back machine shows that FMAB was downvoted to oblivion because of that fandom is hilarious. Saying irrelevant things is true but keep gaslighting and spreading misinformation for your own benefit for too long that you believed it. Pathetic

Cielord said:

Remind me which year i talked about and which year Frieren came out.

ANIk_003 said:

Sorry my bad. How much you got paid?

Confused_100 said:

And not talking about what I said… When you answer and reply to what I said then I will answer the obvious answer to your obvious question

Cielord said:

You literally admitted that FMAB fans downvoted, and i myself saw they did. The conversation practically over, and you are just malding in this thread.

Roxiena said:

True, they think we didn’t see what they did the moment that AOT surpassed FMAB, all out of nowhere it got a lot of 1 ratings. I love FMAB but let’s not pretend as if it doesn’t happen all the time.

@Confused_100



Literally your own words.

Malding definition:
When someone is expressing a large magnitude of rage, often over something relatively small.

Isn't this a perfect word to describe your actions? You literally reply to anyone saying the FMAB fandom downvoted other animes (ironically enough, while admitting it yourself) and insult them. The topic in question is the aforementioned, fucking anime score.
