If you still want to know the anime's exact score even while this April Fools' joke is going on, you can just highlight the emoji and it will display the number.

Is this an April Fools' Day joke?

I'm asking seriously because I prefer the number system and would like to change my scores back to that if possible.

I'd like to insist on one point: It sucks. Even for one day, it sucks.

The rating system from 1 to 10 is on point, I don't even know if the community really has issues with it or if it's just for the joke. Only issue was actually 13yo anime fans giving 10s to average shounens (making me watch anime like assassination classroom) & those using bots to alter real scores (clannad after story, chihayafuru s3).

So one idea to improve this (in addition to dealing with bots): allow filters! for instance, with age (others could include: country, number of animes watched, etc). People grow up, tastes change, the more you watch the more you expect, etc. It's a nice way to improve the current scoring system, but it stills remains a non-essential feature. The ranking with scores as it is (coupled with reviews & recommendations) already gives a fair idea of the quality to be expected.

Technically, you can use it permanently with the Tag system (you can turn those on under List Settings) as I've been using for a while.

Though I know that there is a chance of this being an April Fool Prank but still I decided to go along with it. Afterall one of the problem mentioned is a kind of genuine one.


I understand the concern about 10/10 rating. I too find it difficult to give 10 rating, since every show have one or other issues. But that doesn't mean this rating system is wrong. Afterall, final score is based on scores given by every person.

Also the description given resolves much of the issues. I don't think emoji's would change anything. Infact I feel this step will reduce 10/10 rating and downsizing the overall rating of newer animes released post this change. Also, the new emoji representing 10/10 will make the matter worse causing more confusion.

Though it might attract some new young individuals but this rating system might discourage existing users. Also, this emoji stuff will make us feel more dumb and discourage users from giving a rating.

As a complementary feature, you can add the option where users have to give an answer compulsorily on "Whether or not he/she recommend this anime to others?" The sentence framing could be improved.

Also, I feel you should improve the review grade scale its a bit complicated. Especially rating in terms of character & sound, since some don't like similar character design throughout the anime while for others it's not a matter of concern. Also, characteristics of anime characters can'tbe judged. Sound effects are also not worth rating since it is also a matter of taste. You guys should reduce the rating scale from 10-1 to 5-1 on review page for users.
