| I purposely rate some just to mess with people. |
| how the hell you can't rate an anime after just watching one episode ? |
 |
| Rate by enjoyment at the beginning, critically later on. People change their ratings btw |
 |
| Rate it based on that one episode of course. I don't see anything wrong with that. |
 |
| Easily. I just do. If the anime gets better, I raise the rating. If it gets worse, I lower it. Simple. |
leasedeb said: No, they're rating based off the current episodes that they have watched.so what people are rating is the first few episode of the anime rather than the anime itself ?? |

| Honestly, I wish giving ratings couldn't be given out before at least about 3 episodes. Not every anime is going to lay all it's cards out on the table right away, and I don't think it deserves to be judged preemptively for that, possibly discouraging people from watching it due to immediate low ratings. I also really wish you couldn't rate a dropped anime, since obviously that means the person didn't watch the whole thing, and shouldn't have their rating stacked the same as people who have finished it. But as I'm sure tons of people are going to say, ratings are mostly meaningless and shouldn't be taken too seriously. But regardless of that, they do exist here, and a little more policing on that would certainly be nice. |

Mayu means MAL's 1/5th rule which refers to the fact that you've to watch a fifth of a show for your rating to count. Seems kinda like a BS rule if ya ask me. If you called a winner only a fifth into a baseball game, then the outcome could be very different then if you let the whole game play out. A fifth is not enough time to accurately judge something. People on MAL can be a fickle bunch though, so I'm not surprised a lot of people do feel that is enough. |
Mystifire said: It's enough. Maybe not for some shows where the last half is way better than the first half, but for the majority of shows I've seen don't go from shit to perfection after the first fifth.People on MAL can be a fickle bunch though, so I'm not surprised a lot of people do feel that is enough. And it's definitely enough for a long show like One Piece. One fifth of that would be like 200 episodes if it was 1000 episodes. |
| ppl dont realize that 1 episode is enough to get a general likablity. i used to do it and change it at the end and notice that there was hardly any difference seeing as i use 6-10 rating system there really isnt a big margin from the first rating to the last |

I disagree whole-heartedly, but I suppose there's not really a whole lot of point in arguing it anyway, even if it was an "official" rule. |
| Does MyAnimeList not enough of an answer? |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Some people even post reviews after 1 episode. |
HandsomeMan said: Some people even post reviews after 1 episode. Not quite as often, but it does happen yeah, and I don't get that either. It brings me back to when Psycho Pass was new. A lot of people thought it was really slow and dull at first, but it ended up leading into something amazing. Early reviews/ratings would not be able to reflect that accurately. |
| Honestly the first episode is sometimes the best becuase that weird hidden agenda has yet to be realized. I normally find first episodes a 6-7 and then they go up or down. |

KendiKong said: What I don't get is how there are sometimes thousands of ratings for an anime that hasn't aired There aren't "thousands" of ratings. With the exception of Attack on Titan and Steins;Gate 0, most of the highly anticipated anime don't even come close to 300 ratings. |
|
| Because they can. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Judging only that episode |
 |
| You do realize that ratings before something airs don't count right? |
KendiKong said: Kruzy said: There aren't "thousands" of ratings. With the exception of Attack on Titan and Steins;Gate 0, most of the highly anticipated anime don't even come close to 300 ratings. Even so, why the hell are there 900 ratings for Stein;Gate 0, nobody has seen it or even knows what's its about. There's no justification for rating it right now. Because fanboys were trying to get it on the top anime list while it was still possible. Same happened with Attack on Titan, One Punch Man, To LOVE-Ru and some other shows. |

JumpinJC said: Well with the first episode alone, you can already judge the anime by its characters, sound, animation, art, along with your own personal enjoyment, so I see no issues with rating it after the first episode. (I rate after the second episode, though). this. |
| I rate it based on episode I've watched so far, even if it's only one episode. I can always change the rating depends on how enjoyable the anime is until it's finished |

| When it comes to seasonal anime, I usually wait until the third episode before adding a rating. Assuming the average series runs for 12 episodes, that's 1/4 of the series, which I feel is enough to form an initial opinion. That score can then increase or decrease accordingly as the series goes on. |

| I only rated K after the first episode cause its my bias plus its a sequel. 98% of the time I usually wait until its almost halfway aired unless I'm still on the fence then its around near when its finished airing. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I don't? I don't rate an anime I haven't finished? I guess it makes a bit of sense if you've dropped it, but if you're still watching it, why? |
 |
| here we go again. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Why are some people so bothered that people rated an anime after the first episode? If they watched it, they can fucking rate it. |
