So how do you rate?
| So I am talking about scoring anime/manga in this site Like if u dislike some series because of their popularity (or something similar) will you rate them low? so the average rating would go down even in reality u would know that it is not as bad as u rated it. Or then rate highly series that u like a lot or feel that they would deserve higher average rating even u would know those are not really worth of the rating u gave? Edit: so the reason for the down/high rate doesn't have be the reasons I said but the point is that u know u rated it lower or higher it should have been. So if u have like some anime rated 3 because it is extremely bad in your opinion it is rated as it should be.. but if u have like all popular Shōnen rated 1 I really don't believe that is rated as it is supposed to |

| What no. Of course it's intentional, but none of the reasons you've provided. If it's bad, it gets a low score. If it's good, then a high one. |
| What do you think you're piloting? Great Mazinger? Dangaioh? For Pete's sake, this isn't some robot cartoon whose main character is an autistic kid or some punk. - Kiichi Goto, Mobile Police Patlabor |
| I rate as a feel like, i'm not gonna be biased towards anything just because it's popular, nor am i going to inflate a score of something that's not popular. |
| Users like that do exist here, but for me? Nope. Rate merely on my enjoyment level. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| I honestly hope no one does that seriously. |

| I rate high or low based on if I enjoyed the show or not. |
| That's a terrible reason to give an anime a low rating due to their popularity I rate animes due to my enjoyment level Whichever I enjoyed the most gets a higher rating, whichever I did not enjoy the most gets a lower rating |
 |
| I rate high if I like it, down if I don't...its that simple. |

(If there has been recently something similar and this is not worth of any discussion just lock the thread^^) Why would I rate out of their lvl of popularity? That does make hardly any sense. Even if I would.. when it gained popularity once, my rating doesnt make this show better/worse then it is. I dont care about the ranks at all. Its the exact opposite, personally I dont like huge fanbases, because most of the times the crazy ones come to the fanbase as well. So the ones that like the anime and arent insane are there, and the crazy ones/hater stay away from it. |

| It does seem like a lot users like rating low on here for some reason. I personally rate high when compared to the rest of MAL. |

| Or those who rate 10 a very bad show just to troll. |
| Rating takes to long when you joined after seeing after seeing the majority of your series... |

I mean u got stuff like naruto rated 1 and only 1 episode seen and then like lucky start rated 1 and u have watched 24 episodes of if? Who watches +20 episodes of something even he thinks it is utter crap? I hope all of you can be honest :7 |

| I rate the series based on its originality and my enjoyment. |

| I just rate off enjoyment, nothing more nothing less |

| Yeah i dont really care about the Overall score and i dont think over-rating a series by 1-2 points will make a drastic change lol... |

| I rate a series based on how I think it compares to other series I've seen. I've gone back, retroactively, and dropped some ratings as I've become a more "versed" anime fan. I often only watch series I'm confident I'll like and that has almost always been true, so most shows wind up as a 7 or 8. I don't feel the need to have a lot of deviation in my scores. If I give it a score of a 3 or below I'm almost absolutely dropping it after a few episodes at the very most, if it's a 4 I might stick it out until the end in hopes it gets better, but anything above a 5 I watch the whole way through. But I don't manipulate my numbers for a better looking list, I have a lot of high scores because I won't check out series that people tell me are bad or that I think I won't enjoy. |
rederoin said: People like that exist? Well like gintama (2011) 1% 'somehow managed to watch +200 episodes and still watching season 5 while rating it as 1... That just doesn't sound right |

rederoin said: People like that exist? Of course. I was cringing on the edge about to drop F/SN at like episode 16, but didn't so I could have a overall opinion of the whole show. It wasn't entirely bad, but I just didn't like Emiya Shirou at all. Last thing I need though is people going like 'Your opinion is invalid, you didn't even give the show a chance.' 'You only watched like half who cares what you think. 'Pick it back up it's good!' etc. It's funny because the guys who criticize people for completing a show they didn't thoroughly enjoy are the same ones who criticize people for dropping it and talking about it. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| I generally just rate things by how much I enjoyed them. This doesn't mean I won't rate a popular series low if I don't like it, however. |

There is even one review that has this kind of part ''...I'm a hater converted...I wanted so badly to bring this anime down because I wanted my first anime loves to be ranked higher than this anime. I originally only watched one episode when I rated this anime poorly. Now that I've taken the time to appreciate this anime, I now consider this anime a masterpiece...because only an anime master could make an anime of this caliber...'' |
Tavor said: Users like that do exist here, but for me? Nope. Rate merely on my enjoyment level. ^This.Why should i care about series popularity when i rate?90 % of my grade is enjoyment and in that remaining 10 % there is no mainstream/popularity factor. |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
DateYutaka said: While you are free to rate as you please, your method of rating confuses me.as i say i rate as my sacle dictates Basically, you let other people (Impact on pop culture, who's voice cast, studio, other ratings, etc) dictate what you score it. I don't necessarily have a problem with this, as like I already stated, you are free to rate how you see fit, but it makes me curious. Has there ever been a series that didn't have an impact on "pop culture", or didn't have VA's that you liked, but you rated highly anyway? I find it rather strange that you would let other people decide what to rate a series for you. |

| People are just butthurt because what they like/dislike is not liked/disliked by others, forgetting that old golden rule of 'opinions' (also they want to be justified). How does this tie up with their score? If they think that a show is bad (say SAO for pure examples sake) they would actively give it a, let's say 1, and call the people that liked it 'fanboys' or' 'tards', again thinking what they like is what all must like. People that usually do this are elitists, nothing bad with being an elitist, but there is something wrong in being a douche elitist. Simple example Neane1993 said: the guy who kept making multiple accounts to lower the scores of anime that are higher than Legend of the Galactic Heroes and to make Legend of the Galactic Heroes higher on the Top Anime list? Pure fanboyism at it's finest. Why do you care if others like your show or not? Why does the score on an internet site hinder your mood? It does not matter whether you're a fanboy or an elitist, you like what you like, you give it a score, you give it a comment sometimes, you recommend it, but you do not take arbitrary numbers as the soul sign of liking/disliking a certain series. People that intentionally give something a bad/good score are stupid, end of discussion. 'It's Ok to not like things, just don't be a douche about it.' |

The forums are dark, and full of ego. |
| Yeah I've never rated a show low just because it was popular. The closest thing to this I can think if is I have given a show maybe a 1 lower than i would normally if it was really popular and hyped but I thought it was a let down. |

Checked some of 1 raters and all of them had all gintama seasons rated as 1 so it was not like they were watching season 5 first.. pretty sure that they have not even watched season 5.. |
| Rating shows low just because their popular is just plain retarded. I like to think that I rate fairly, use the whole 10 scale and I base my score on both personel enjoyment and critical e.g. I enjoyed kampfer, but I know its not a good anime so it only gets a 7. The thing is I dont have have that many animes below 5. And the amazing reason is I watch shows I know im going to like. frankly if you have more shows with score in the 1-4 than the 5-10 , then you need to learn to choose the animes you watch better. Ive seen people watch a show and rate it low then only to go onto the 2nd season and watch the movies and specials, or watch a show thats pretty much simaler its like why watch shit you hate dam masochists |
