As hype for a particular title builds up, there will be people in the fanbase that will inflate the scores before it even airs. One example is the upcoming SAO Movie that hasn't aired yet but already has ~742 rating it a 10.

Necro bump, adding more criteria to include shows "previewed" but not aired to public broadcast. One example is Violet Evergarden.

I'd agree to this. Makes sense.

I agree. It's kind of insane.





Crying doesn't mean you're weak.
Enduring doesn't mean you're strong.

It's only meant/added for Top Upcoming.
And it wasn't even ranked on all anime.

Maybe the reviewers seen it in japan at a cinema since they air them in private showings sometimes. Happens a lot. Should be allowed

But those are the true fans, and their voices should be louder than the haters. It pisses me off when haters lower the score on something I like.

Bumping this too. I agree, screws up the rating and encourages people to make fake accounts to boost/drop shows. Btw this is a problem with both fans and haters, as seen by the currently airing Gintama season, not one side is more to blame than the other.

This shouldn't be a suggestion. This is how the site should work by default.

I absolutely 100% agree with this. I have no idea why it doesn't work like this in the first place.

This kind of stuff is apparently not to obvious to the mods or the creator at this point.

I agree with this idea as it might avoid the rating show. Really this should be on default.

No it isn't. MAL does nothing with the data until the show starts airing, at which point it becomes irrelevant since people are bound to change their ratings to what they actually think of the show once it starts airing. Top upcoming is literally just ranked by member count. MAL considers it to be the anime that the most people are hyped for rather than bothering to calculate how hyped each person is or a mass of how much hype each one has communally.

I personally see no downside to removing the option to rate anime before they air.

Agreed.. I feel like you couldn't always do this..

I also noticed you can mark a show completed before its finished airing.. While I personally find it convenient for preliminary scoring, i could see it being problematic when shows get hyped..

I agree, especially that some people vote just because they are a fan or hate the anime and want to dirty it before the release. T_T

I fully support the idea. It doesn't make any sense to rate something that hasn't aired yet in the first place.
