Are there any anime that you have watched that you absolutely loved, but has a pretty low score on MAL?

I'm curious because I never bother to even look at any anime that does not score above a 7.7 on this site.

Any anime that ;

-Is made before the 00s (old anime)
-Has a super low member count (underwatched anime)

will be underrated by default on MAL.

Examples: Rose Of Versailles (it's still pretty highly rated though), Ie Naki Ko Remi, Takarajima, every single WMT anime.

My favorite anime only has a 7.53 average. I liked Chuu Bra and it only has 6.4. The lowest rated anime I actually enjoyed is Urawa no Usagi-Chan with a 5.46 average.

All of my favorites.

But seriously though, I'd say Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita. The show is a damn masterpiece but is kinda low and members. It should be at least top 150.

I'd say anything out of the top 1000 is rated low. Currently that would be 7.7 or lower.

Not exactly low, but I really liked Chobits and I think it should be higher.

Bathtime with Hinako gets the highest rating of the three.

Limiting it to currently airing shows only:

World Trigger (7.22 isn't too low, but I like it a lot more than that)
Youkai Watch, Kyoukai no Rinne, Tribe Cool Crew, Okusama ga Seitokaichou! (They are all rated lower than 7 on MAL and 7 or higher by me. Considering MALs average is about 2 points higher than mine they're pretty underrated imo).
I probably regret this post by now.

I looked through my list after seeing this discussion and realized that most of my Anime scores are relatively identical to their MAL counterparts, so I don't think I have such.

Or, if 8.48 is low, then Angel Beats! - I've given it a 9.

Dunno.

Define low


Well anyway the only potentially good shows rated below 7 are either a) very old and unknown, b) highly controversial titles (like School Days or Yosuga no Sora), or c) troll anime (like Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu or Bikini Warriors)

Ginga E Kickoff!! I'd consider 7.43 low considering only 6,000 people have watched it and I imagine if more people watched the show it'd be at best a high 6. It's remarkably charming for being a show that's about kids for kids, and it was really hard not to smile at children's innocent ambitions and interactions with one another. There are also 3 characters that I think I wonderfully created in that they have the smuggest of smug attitudes, but at no point do their actions and words ever make it feel like they aren't 12 years old.

Don't forget the fabulous OST. Definitely one of the more well executed soccer anime.

MALGraph says that you gave Shinsekai yori the highest rating compared to its average (1.46 difference), but 8.54 is not underrated. My highest difference is 2.47 above the average.

There are only like 100 series rated higher than 8.50
There are over 10000 series rated lower than 8.50

Soooo yeah


I think maybe the top 1000 would be a better 'cut-off' point, in which case it'd be at roughly 7.70

Or it's because anime scores on this site are generally skewed toward higher scores. But congratulations on watching anime that the aggregate scored below an 8, we are all mightily impressed.
