I suggest deleting FMA:B page, or at least making it unavailable for a while, and to block new user registrations until people decide to grow up...
Hey_Taka-tin_Hey said: The opposite is correct, the "most popular section" is useless. I'm not interested what is discussed in global school yards, nor what the students there are watching. Simply not my taste. "Most Popular" is 100% useful. I want to know what anime gives me the best chances for meaningful interactions. If no one's watched it, I can't discuss it. "Top Anime" however, is a shitty troll-fest. Period. It's been a blight since I've joined all the way back in 2013, and was probably a blight loooooong before that. What I have to give you is that the "top anime" section is also pretty useless, because the same demography dominates it on MAL. And recently they learned about opinion amplification using bots, further distorting the section. That's why I only rely on 60%+ affinity friend's ratings, and anidb.net with a different user demography and rating normalization. I really wish MAL supported user defined views, so I could filter out 75% of MAL's user base's ratings and popular watches. That may make them usable for my shit taste. |

| That ain't how it works chief. Let the fandom support their beloved show. That's what the website is there for. If you delete the page or block their access to it, then all hell will rain loose. Honestly, let it be open for access. Who cares? |
 |
| Dear OP, THIS WHOLE THREAD IS A FUCKING JOKE. Why do you care about the #1 spot? Huh? Are you trying to be an elitist? Why do people like you care so much about the score? It's YOUR score that matters, not the general toxic populace. Most importantly, it's indicated as "MyAnimeList", NOT "OurAnimeList". Such dumb people asking about scores, y'all are infidels. Sacrifice yourself in your FMA:B or AOT basking of glory. No one cares, that's all. You grow up, everyone else who flames doesn't with their bird-brains. |

| Nah, let it burn. Nothing beats watching generic shounentards beating each other up. |
| It's not #1 anymore because more and more people started giving their votes, including fans who lowered their rating to 7-9/10. Always pointing at FMAB fans is hilarious. But here, enjoy your attention. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| You're asking weebs to grow up lmao good luck with that. |
| FMAB is a whole anime without parts and just one airing period. Many anime nowadays is seasonal and using parts, i mean (for example, Anime 1 Part 2 is the best of all-time, its weird). Look at Gintama, how many of those are in top 15, you could say overall Gintama is the best. |
| If mods are gonna block or delete entries over scores, they might as well remove scores entirely. A score is a score, get over it. It's gonna get manipulated, that's how the internet is. Give the series the score you feel it deserves and don't care what others give it. That's what i've learned after 3 years on this site. |

| Truest #1 anime should be Miru Thighs and I'm the only that's right. |
Hey_Taka-tin_Hey said: I've proposed that they straight-up delete the Top Anime section multiple times. It (undeniably) lowers the quality of every social part of this website. If people want to see what's highest-rated, in (almost) real time, make them put in the work themselves. It shouldn't be a feature that MAL itself promotes. And it sure as hell shouldn't be the second option on the freaking menu! "Most Popular" is 100% useful. I want to know what anime gives me the best chances for meaningful interactions. If no one's watched it, I can't discuss it. In that sense it's perfectly fine. "Top Anime" however, is a shitty troll-fest. Period. It's been a blight since I've joined all the way back in 2013, and was probably a blight loooooong before that. I actually disagree with you on this one. As much as it brings in toxicity and negativity, it can bring more attention to hidden gems since it's based off how much the majority enjoyed it (usually) over how many people have seen it. Series like Legend of the galactic heroes, Gintama and Shouwa genroku rakugo probably wouldn't have as much members as they do now without it. |

| I love how some AoT fans act all high and mighty when they did the same thing with bot scoring. And it's not fair to blame everyone of each fanbase just the toxic people from both fanbases need to grow up. AoT the Final Season is way to high in my opinion and that's coming from a fan of both the manga and the anime. |
| Don't tell them that mal rating isn't that accurate. Actually there's many shows that already beat FMAB |

Hey_Taka-tin_Hey said: Yamikuroe said: FMAB is a whole anime without parts and just one airing period. You're technically right, but only technically. Because Brotherhood can only ever be seen as anything close to a 10/10 if you add the original Full Metal Alchemist into the equation. Exposition, during the first half of Brotherhood, is a bloody mess. To the point where I'm pretty sure they just assumed everyone had already watched the other version, and relied upon that fact to build the entire main structure of the new anime. Put more simply: No FMA 1, no chance for a first place FMA 2. It's a single anime that... shouldn't actually be watched as a single anime. As weird as that sounds. What I mean is FMAB is complete from start to finish, true it is no. 1 possibly because of the previous FMA, but you could watch FMAB without watching FMA first. |
| I am going to be that person that just tells you, "It's a freakin number." Why? No, I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's just true and better for your mental health to not obsess over a freakin number of all things. If you really care about ratings, find someone who has rating rubric that's set in stone and not likely to rate based on enjoyment, which is subjective*. Or, develop one of your own. *use of or lack of storytelling techniques is not subjective and neither is the presence or absence of character introspection, adherence to known psychological science, etc, as example of contrast. |
| There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so. |
| Why does everyone feel the need to get up on their soapbox over meaningless BS like this nowadays? Here's an idea. Ignore it. Crazy concept, I know. The irony of suggesting people grow up while in the middle of acting like a child... |
