I can't think of any reason other than that it is high time for certain MAL users to start using the full rating scale instead of just 8 to 10.

I gave it a 6/10 because it was funny, and overall I enjoyed every episode.
Too bad it was so short.

+1

If 99% of the viewers didn't like it, that makes me one of the 1% left that enjoyed it.

Some will rate it high because they simply subjectively enjoyed it (It's so bad it's good, so they had good laughs).

Some will say it was just 'meh',cause they are not so sensible for things that made it so terrible for us.

Some have high average score, cause they think Japan is the best, and won't rate something really low until it's worse than holocaust, because some Asian worked hard to make it.

My overall score was 4/10: +1 for the good opening and for the nice soundtrack, +1 because i liked the bears and +1 because i felt potential at some points even though it was never ever used(this was not a work of amateurs, this was a work of professionals with absolutely no Time/Budget to do something acceptable). I really have seen worse.

You can find some fine details and little things you like in everything, maybe some just found a few more than us.
In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom.

We're talking about 8-10 here which the anime doesn't obviously even deserve.

I saw a review with an overall score of 10. I don't know if he's just trolling or simply awestruck or traumatized.

Gave it a 3, because I thought it wasn't the worst - the length really butchered it. Second, it had some potential. Third, it did accomplish being weird as fck.

Gave it 7/10 because it was really unique anime, with sad backstory. It was the most disturbing and hard to watch anime I've ever seen. Was just nightmare to watch, but aside from that the anime itself had really good scenario and was shown in interesting way. Kinda glad it was 4 min per ep.. because 20min per ep would be really hard to watch. Hope for UNC version in future.

I gave it a 7, if it lasted for 20mins though I wouldn't watch it. The scenes were short enough for me not to care about the story, it was pretty funny due to its crappiness.

The last episode having nothing to do with the rest of the story was especially stupid

I'm gonna go with a 1/10. Not because it was laughably bad (it was though), but because it was utterly boring. Just so boring all the way through, not even the uncensored version (which I watched) helped it in any way.

I want to clarify something.

People.

7/10 does not mean bad. 7/10 means GOOD. If you give Pupa a 7/10 that's saying it's GOOD. No one, if seriously rating this and not just rating "LOL 10/10 FOR HILARITY", should give this above a 4. I can get 5, maybe, but anything higher is just people too afraid to use the numbers 1-6. Which is silly.

I actually rated it a 6, which amusingly slips between your analysis (not afraid to use numbers 1-6, but I still rated it above 5!)

It's important to keep in mind that ratings can also represent enjoyment. I personally rate on how much I respect a show, but that's not normal. Normally a 6-7 means that they enjoy watching the show in the end, which isn't really debatable. You can say "how dare you like such a shitty show?", but you're wasting precious air (or finger muscles).

Some people tends to rate it subjectively (by enjoyment, only uses 6-10 scale) and some objectively (full scale rating). Well, as said, this anime doesn't even deserve a score from 8-10 which if someone does, either he or she is trolling, blind by love or an alien with little sense of what's bad and what's good in terms of anime.

I gave a 7/10 because for me it was particular, I liked the artwork a lot, the character design was well done, faithful to the manga..
because the script wasn't bad, it was right. Nothing excellent and nothing appalling.
The sibling's relationship was great, I don't see incest anywhere, maybe the infamous Onii - chan episode didn't helped, but even so I only see a tormented family who passed a very hard childhood. they always protected each other and the last episode helped to understand it.

Yes, the censorship was weird, but nevermind, I still got what happened.
The only thing I don't understand is why they messed so much things, the manga followed different paths.

Yeah, an 8-10 is absolutely absurd. I mean, you can't argue that this is a high quality anime. There were things I liked about it, such as the art style and the music, and I get some subjective enjoyment out of cheesy horror elements, but even so there's no way this show deserves such a high rating. I feel like I'm being a bit cheeky even giving it a 6!

Well.. I like taking in the concept of anime and I really like anime that are unique compared to most anime. I have rated some anime more quite high compared to average. (Ex. School Days)

Pupa was really disturbing and sad. Lack of backstory and story/character progression are the only reasons I rated it 7/10. Animation was okay and setting was superb. If it would been a bit longer series , where more would be explained about characters I would gladly rated it even higher.

The story-telling was schizophrenic to the point where it felt like I was watching the episodes out of order. After you cut out OP and ED, you get 3 minutes an episode, which gives you 36 minutes to tell a story, and when so many of those 3 minute chunks feel disjointed, it makes the series look really bad. It eventually became impossible to follow, and the only people who would have a clue as to what the hell was going on would be those who read the manga. Why was Maria pregnant? What did she give birth to? What consequence did this have in later episodes, if any at all?

Even though it ran on streamed services, the anime was still heavily censored, which is a problem for a show that's only (arguably) interesting trait is the gore. We are treated to over the top censors that omit anything out that could catch one's eye. Yes, it will be released uncensored, but I would have to be the biggest fucking idiot in the world to want to rewatch this.

Despite having less than the equivalent of 2 whole anime episodes to work with, there was still filler. For an entire episode, we were treated to Yume eating her brother while moaning "onii-chan" intermittently. THREE. FUCKING. MINUTES. Three minutes completely wasted on nothing we didn't already know before since we have seen scenes of her feeding off her brother several times before then. The last episode, despite being the most watchable, was ALSO filler. This slashes the already pitiful amount of time the series had to tell a story even further. Mind you, the series is this badly paced and directed despite being delayed. It was originally scheduled to be released Fall 2013. If the series was this bad in Winter, I fear what it would have been if it had three less months of development time.

At its best, it's unintentionally funny (fish gutting on a giant prompter in the middle of the city, Yume and Utsutsu enbracing in the middle of the street while carhorns blaze as they disrupt traffic), and at its worst, it's a catastrophic disasterpiece with stream-of-consciousness story-telling where plotlines are aborted randomly. The only two reasons I gave this a 2 instead of 1 include:

1. It's only 36 minutes long without OP and ED
2. Galaxy Angel Rune, Skelter Heaven, and Masters of the Martial Heart are things that still exist in this universe.

If you give this above a four, reevaluate your shit taste before you end up like the idiot above me. Do you really want to be like some dipshit who gave Akikan!, School Days, Kotoura-san, Shuffle!, Naruto, and Love Hina a 10/10, and then gave Humanity Has Declined, Plastic Nee-san, Kyousougiga, and Mawaru Penguindrum lower than a 7 using the same trashcan metric?

I thought that story was amazing but it was just too short, if it was a 20min+ eps anime it would definitely be an amazing anime but this way 5/10.
