silverwalls said: because i enjoy most of the shows i watch? why do people even care. The question is asking why do people give high scores to things they didn't really like, not why people give high scores to Anime they do like... Back to the original topic: I don't know, but I go by MAL's standards for the most part, unless I'm rating a short. |
| IDK if I give high scores. I give so-so anime a score of 5 and 6. |
| Why do you even care? |
| What if people really just enjoy everything they watch? I certainly don't, but not everyone has as high standards as someone like me, and even so there are people with like half my average score. |

School grades are percentages; they have nothing to do with the 10 point scale.It's probably because people rate it the way a lot of schools do scoring for grades. Where 60 and below is just varying degrees of bad, 70 is average, 80 is good, 90 is very good, 100 is great, etc. At least it seems that way to me. i can't remember the last time anything but my cumulative grade was a percentage... homework, tests, exams were points, not percentages. 5/5. 18/20. 90/110. 200/250. 76/76. 80/90. etc etc etc. ...so yeah it actually does make a lot of sense and does have to do with a point scale. |
wow |
| To rustle the h8ers' jimmies. |
 |
| Cause people are random. I don't really care though as long as they're consistent within their rating system. they're why every score on MAL is skewed about 1 point higher than it should be. So average rating of 5.x means bad, 6.x means average 7.x means fine 8-8.5 means good, 8.5-9 means great. Not really hard to see it for what it is even with the ratings of many users being irrationally high. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| I'd like to say I'm pretty optimistic when it comes to most things. Guess I always look for the best in shows, and when the show is mediocre I try to find something good that came with the show. |
| If you don't like that I gave Kill la Kill a 10 you can fuck off the edge of my dick, OP. |

Calestia said: If i ask someone what they think about the anime they rated 7 or 8, they say it is okay or sometimes even bad... Why? While the rating system says that 7 is good and 8 is very good. Do they just like higher numbers? Just because something is "Very Good" doesn't mean it's ideal or that it doesn't have flaws. There are still two ranks above it. |

Redire said: Because stuff like mars of destruction throws the whole scale off. Even bad anime doesn't even come close to that level of bad. The OreImo specials were worse. As a producer, you can't get any lower than ignoring the source material and changing the ending of something, committing fanrape in the process. |

| Yeah You should be able to change someone else's scores. Of course you know better. |
 |
| Okay here's how I rate things: From 10-6 you're good, while at 5 your basically just hanging in there but you're standing on thin ice. Now if you're 4-1 well you're pretty f*****. -_- I don't know about you guys, but I think I'm being pretty lenient here right? |

| Some people think rating high = giving out mostly 7's and up. I think that its possible that at least a good number of these so called "high raters" might just be good at picking out anime they believe they'll enjoy and it turns out well for them. I think you also have to take into consideration that people often drop , or at least put on hold, shows they feel are 4 or below.. |
 |
| For me 7 = good and 8 = very good, if there are many 7+ ratings in my list, it's probably because of how I pick.anime to watch and not how I define the numbers I use. |
| Personally, if I enjoyed something while watching it, I'll give it a 10. If I would tell someone else to watch it, I'll give it a 10. I don't often give things under a 10 unless I really did not enjoy it. So yeah I don't rate things properly :^) |

XD Not to mention despite how I bash the crap outta Mahouka I'll probably end up giving it a 7/10 if the Yokohama Arc goes well (despite the previous disappointments from the previous arcs), If not then a 6/10. |
| Why the op obsessed of score? |
| Most people don't take anime seriously, so their scores will generally be higher. |

| I always thought 7ish was average or very slightly above average. Maybe it's because 70% is a C in school or I think a girl that's a 7/10 is average looking. 5/10 might be in the middle but that's failing in school and would be a pretty ugly person |

| Why do people give low scores? Op shouldn't just talk about one side of the coin. |

 |
| You could suppose that many would rather more accurately be able to judge shitty anime than good anime. 1-6 does offer a larger degree of shit scaling than a 1-4 would. |
| If I rate something a 7 or above that means I consider it good and it's worth watching imo. |
| It looks like some people are under the impression that there are more levels of "bad" than "good." I'm not going to argue with this statement, but I do want to point out that that regardless of whether you rated something a 1 or a 4 (both of which are considered "bad" by the typical MAL user), you probably regretted watching it. Why would you want to make a clear distinction between something that's merely bad and something that's utterly terrible if you're never going to watch them again anyway? I personally like having more room to distinguish various levels of "good" so I can easily differentiate what I merely liked, what I thought were the best of the best, and everything in between. For me, anything 5 or above is watchable, so I have 6 values to work with. Therefore, I only have 4 values to assign to anime I dislike, but then again, I'm not picky about scoring things that I consider bad since I'm never going to revisit them. |
 |
| Just drop off your mindset of 10 (actually 9) points gradation. What you need to look is actually the distribution pattern of those score, the closer it is to normal distribution pattern means that person is still gives score relatively impartial. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| What if mine looks like a Weibull distribution? |
fst said: What if mine looks like a Weibull distribution? Then you need to watch more anime and broaden your score range to increase the η scale of the curve, assuming that β in the function act as your taste. And yes, I don't know what I am talking about. |

| Your honor, I never wrote this post. |
| I dont know. If I dont like anime I rate it 1-4 If it is average I rate it 5 If I like it I rate it 6-10 Thats it. 7 rating would mean it was quite good in my case. |

Psajdak said: I removed all my scores, it's useless. I wanted to do this many times already but in the end, I never did because I'm too lazy to delete all those ratings. |
|
| 7 = C 6 = D 5 = Fail |
| I wonder about this too. When i first started using Mal i thought the rating system was broken but after considering the 1 to 10 it makes sense that 5 be average and anything below be crap. I usually dont even complete anime i would rate below 3 |
