| no. It might be nice every now and then seeing a series you like be high but there's other things on earth that are more important. |
 |
| It doesn't effect how i rate the series it just makes me expect the best from it if its one of the highest rated animes |
 |
| I think they should be removed because there are a lot of underrated anime that has a lower score and there are a lot of people that only watch the best ranked anime |

| Doesn't matter to me as long as FMAB is 1st. |
Imagine how boring this world would have been without Japan |
| Rankings don't matter to me at all because I'm not a child |

| Everyone would want their favorite animes to get more recognition and appreciation but if people are going to childishly try to manipulate score then I wouldn't bother caring |
| It doesn't matter to me as long as FMAB is still in #1. Except for the other best ones to come like Oyasumi Punpun and Steel Ball Run or any of my other favourites, unlike Gintama, AOT, Fruits Basket etc |
| No, I only ever see the ranking when I start or finish watching something and maybe occasionally later on. Why should it have any lasting impact at all? What matters are the overall emotions and impressions that stay with you, which are personal. Statistics is something that can be interesting but it's just a representation of other people's opinions and only a small group's at that. You know, life doesn't revolve around this site only or any other sites where scores can be drastically different from here. To obsess over something like that... well, some people probably have lots of time on their hands. |

| Fuck no, if that was the case I wouldn't even be here. The rankings are awful, they've always been. It's just fanboys spamming 10s for the most popular shows while the lesser known shows never get a chance to shine. |
 |
| "Do rankings matter to you?" Mal users: No... Other MAL users and fanboys: No. As long as FMAB is still #1. Yeah. You made yourself a clown🤡 |

| Not really. I'll still watch it even if it ranks below 7 or 6. |
 |
| Yes, for me personally, it does matter. Let's consider a scenario, someone recommended you three anime, you can only watch one, so what will you do? most likely you will go to some review websites like MAL or Anilist and read the reviews or see the ratings, and you will most definitely be more inclined towards the higher-rated one. It's true that there are some really good anime with lower-ranking and some not so good with higher ranking, but I'm not gonna say that the whole ranking system sucks because of that. Just because I think that a certain anime is ranked higher than it should doesn't mean that everyone else feels the same way. There are many people who liked it and that's why it's rated higher. And the majority of the people rate an anime based on its enjoyability and their preference, if someone thinks that let's say Demon slayer is a masterpiece, then I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it's their opinion. The problem is not with the ranking system, it's with some people who just cannot accept the fact that everyone has different tastes |

| Rankings don't matter to me but I love the entertainment that comes with all the score threads. |
| HUNTER X HUNTER HAS RETURNED!!!!!!! |
| the only time it bothers me is when I might miss out on something really good because it got buried due to bad scores. That's it. |
| I like rankings I hate score manipulation and fake rankings |
| Nobody was arguing on the first few days Gintama was in #1, and I never saw forum posts as extreme as it were with anything else, and in fact, I think that those scores are actually okay. The only issue I see is with sequels counting towards the ranking. IMO Gintama: The Final should keep its score, but its ranked score should be its overall score with the entire series included, excluding things like 5-min specials, spin-offs or remakes. It bloats a lot of the top 25 with almost half of it being Gintama, so it'd still fare with a connected score. |

| If the answer is yes, it's time to go outside... |

That's the benefit as I see it atleast. Bababazooka69 said: Yes. Imagine best manga ever berserk or best tv series ever breaking bad had ratings of lets say 6 or 7/10 not that many would be willing to read/watch it and personally i too wouldn't be interested in these so yes ratings does matter its a reason why these both series are no.1 Solace546 said: If something is ranked real bad then I might not watch it, but I don't care where things actually are, that's just for starting them. And even for starting a show I don't care about the rank.

The thing I dislike though is seeing a high rank on an anime I consider to be garbage like FMAB, seeing this crap in #1 really boosted my expectations on it and once I finished it and saw how bad and overrated this garbage is then I realized I can no longer trust the ratings in MAL, that's ok though, not everyone will like the same things you do. The issue as I personally see it with Mal rankings is the way people take then so seriously, anime is more fun when your willing to try anything that interests you but equally you should never judge a show because of hype or the popular opinion. Take each show on its own merits and try not to worry about ranks so much. They should be used as a tool sure but a subjective one ruled by popular opinion, not something to slave over👍. |

You tried to use bots to get a guy's account permabanned because he said Attack on Titan was a better manga than BerserkHey everyone look, As long as it's popular you have to listen to the Majority Opinion You can't be like Talibans go around saying you're not a Real Muslim In this case here Elitists say you're not a True Anime Fan |
