| Most people only watch what they're gonna enjoy, and give everything they enjoy a 7/10. Therefore 7/10 is the average, it kinda sucks because it would be more interesting to see a more diverse set of scores, but whatever. |
| I often vote low scores for very sound reasons. I think it's why my affinity doesn't work with anyone else. |
 |
| Because 5 and lower I'm quite likely to drop. Ain't no more time to watch something I consider trash to the end. Used to have no dropping policy back in days.. 5 is borderline drop 6 might get dropped (depends where it dips on scales) 5 and lower that I don't drop usually is hate/spite watching at this point. |

Ronichko said: BilboBaggins365 Not every opinion is well informed but on media why does it have to be? Because some people choose what to watch based on scores, members, reviews and someone's recommendation. __________ Who cares if some people don't care about making use of the entire rating system. I personally view people like them as lazy. __________ My ratings are for me and me alone. I don't' care how others view it or what it does to the aggregate score. Than why bother rating on MAL at all, rate them in a folder on your computer, by yourself and for yourself. __________ Others feeling the same way doesn't make them lazy. It's arbitrary rating at the end of the day. That simple. I agree, as long as it's feeling and not acting. The second part I agree with. If someone solely relies on a MAL score to inform whether to watch something that is their own fault. Plus if you use the site for awhile it's still easy to figure what the general consensus on the show is. For modern/popular stuff 8-9 probably means a good to amazing show 7.5-8 flawed, 7 very flawed and lower. For anything old/niche just tick of a point or two and it works all the same (a 7 is just like an 8 for a 90s OVA). I still fail to see how talking, watching or critically reviewing media isn't all combined together lazy lol. You can write a 30 page critical essay of an anime but unless that is your job you still are wasting time. Ergo being lazy. Thirdly because MAL has a nice UI lol compared to keeping a word document. The general database is really useful (my main reason for using this site). Plus I have people on here I like talking to and seeing what they are watching lol. I mean that is the purpose of MAL. At least it seems to me. Trying to create some "objective" review site and tailoring your scores to that lol that would be ludicrous to me. |

| It shows that people actually watch anime to enjoy themselves instead of hate watching like a loser. Thats all it really means, jus' sayin'. |

| Your rating is very critical as but that's ok, I usually rate my anime around 5-7 which is to say that anime around 5 are just ok as popcorn watch. 6-7 are shows which I might recommend for watching as they don't need much explanation. 8-10 anime are rare for me as in 1000+ I got like 7 (10s) and 3 (9s), 10s and 100 (8s) but that might change in future as I visit some shows retrospectively and reduce their rating as that's what mostly happen. I perfectly assume that people with 500+ anime with mean score of 5 as that shows their balanced view on anime as an art form but when someone who watched like 100-200 anime and their mean is 5, means they are hating anime more than enjoying and they are just being a snob as I know many friends of mine who will rate an anime low with nitpicking. Also 1-10 scale doesn't mean your mean should drop to 4 or below 4 as at that point it's perfectly clear you don't enjoy anime and should stop watching it. Lastly I think an anime deserves score of 1-4 only when it is regurgitated shit or caused a massive migraine/wasted your precious time where you can watch a paint being dry rather than watch that show. |
| 2023 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
epidemia78 said: Yeah same here. To you people who watch shows even tho you hate it, know I clown on ya'll a lot but you da real MVP.dunno. Maybe most people are like me and they drop bad anime without rating it. Which leaves only the people who like it or think it's okay to decide the final score. |
