Well that is why lots of people using their own different rating system. |
| According to http://graph.anime.plus which tracks MAL user's scores, the average on MAL is 6.9 |
 |
| No, because that would require mal users to randomly sample the anime they watch, and that would be fking retarded (who the hell would want to do that?). If you're watching anime that you think would likely be interesting or good (to you), like a normal human being, then of course your score is going to be skewed.

DecimoXX said: the primary argument I see is that scales clustered around 4 scores give almost no information. What is the point of rating the worst thing you've ever seen a 6 as well as the 30 worst thing you've seen while not using 1-5 which could differentiate between themJonasTheJay said: Just admit it, you want to justify giving shitty shows a high score Actually I dont really like going to trouble of giving scores. But the argument I hear among people seem really stupid That said people should rate how they want |
| I respect users with an average score below 6 more because I imagine they hold their anime to high standards. |
 |
| Yes, top heavy lists are the natural way of doing things, but some other things to note: -"Good and bad anime" isn't so black and white -You can reasonably make a rating system that looks like a nice gauss curve, where 5 is the average from what you've seen (something which might look better at 999 anime completed than at 24) |

DecimoXX said: still, that makes 5 as much as the middle as 6Darek said: I think you've skipped your maths classes 'cause 5.5 is in the middle... OT: Why are people still making those thread just why? arghhh.... You do know we can only score from 1 to 10 right? both of them are at a distance of 4 from one of the ends of the interval |

| No, but I do believe more people need to use the full range of available ratings. When I see someone with an average score of 8 or more, I find it difficult to have any faith in their ratings; sure, it's possible that they just might have managed to only watch anime that they thought were excellent, but it's not likely. But having an average score of 5 would require watching a lot of shit, which kind of defeats the hobby. I think a range between 6 and 7 is reasonable, probably topping out at 7.5. But I did vote 'Yes' just to make it a perfect 50-50 split. Edit: tfw a few seconds later people just vote willy-nilly and ruin all your hard work |
 |
| No. In fact, there's really no score that goes in between 1 and 10 while leaving an equal amount of numbers on both sides of the spectrum. This scale would be imbalanced with an average score. We should change 5 to weak and 4 to bad. |
| Being wrong is just an occupational hazard. Follow me on twitter. I have an anitube channel so feel free to check it out and subscribe if you like what you see. |
| imo, 7 is the line between watchable and mediocrity. Anything below 7 in my completed list was an annoyance to finish |
| Yeah. It's more logical for a person's score to be above 5 (like 6 or 7) on average and their graph of ratings to be skewed to the top half of the scale (6-10), because naturally people are going to watch more of what they enjoy and less of what they don't. Sometimes just avoiding what they don't like altogether. |

| yes, 5 mean average and that's how it should be... what different is what you consider average in your rating sistem... because it does.. people will tend to avoid what they dislike and their standard become only higher, which unfair for series you watch letter.. |

Its off topic but thats a good thing right? "Rated per user: 769" "Total unrated: 40.02%" "Mean rating: 6.92" hope that gives a bit of perspective feels average man :< on another note, it's pretty close to the median rating of the site (6.83, rank 3951) |

DecimoXX said: I think thats the problem on the mal system side since even if technically incorrect, we still perceive 5 as the middle. This is reinforced by the fact that while scoring anime, 5 is correspond to 'average' Anyway the argument on where the middle is doesnt really affect the main discussion at hand so lets leave it here Actually this is a discussion about mean scores which does use decimals. So 5.5 would be the better average in this case. But if we're going solely based off of the rating scale then 6 would seem the better average because rounding up seems pretty standard mathematically. As with all threads relating to this topic I think people should rate how they want since that's going to happen anyway. |
| Okay first of all, the reason 7.5 is the average is because people are stupid and have bad taste, and don't rate everything 2's or 3's except for Evangelion. Second off, 5 is not a good average. 5 as an average gives you five scores that are positive but only four scores that are negative. So be smart and do what I do and have 1-5 as negative and 6-10 as positive. But don't actually do that, I want to feel like I'm smarter then you.

Its off topic but thats a good thing right? 6.92 is an extremely high "anime is above average" which is what any medium will most likely have. It has nothing to do with critical thinking. Just how people perceive things. Some people give 10's to everything, some people are harsh as fuck and will give a 1/10 if they hear engrish or something. |

| my mean score is 9+ because i just enjoy anime that much and never get bored of it in the slightest i don't see why anyone would claim they "love anime" if their mean score is below like 7.5 lol.... if you think most anime sucks, you don't LOVE anime.... lol.... i don't care how many shows you've watched "i only like 3 songs by this artist, despite their 5 albums... i love this artist" gtfo lol |

MortalMelancholy said: This 100%. If something is shit why would I watch it? If I have only seen a few popular anime like FMAB/Steins;Gate and maybe OPM am I gonna rate them as 5? hell no. Makes no sense.No, because that would require mal users to randomly sample the anime they watch, and that would be fking retarded (who the hell would want to do that?). If you're watching anime that you think would likely be interesting or good (to you), like a normal human being, then of course your score is going to be skewed. |

| I think anyone who tries to tell someone what their score should be is an idiot. Everyone's free to rate however they like. There's no right or wrong way to do it. If you've got a mean score that's sky high, so be it. If your mean score is dirt low, let it be also. Who's to judge what a person's score should or should not be? You've gotta be a real cocky kind of jackass to think like that. |

| I believe that 5.5 should be the average since it's the mean of the scale. People are biased towards watching anime they already expect to enjoy, but since anime outside of their taste generally isn't that much worse they don't downvote it enough to counter its fans so everything gets skewed upwards. If you only watch anime that you think will be a 5 or above and everyone else does the same but everyone watches different anime then the people the anime would be a 4 or lower to haven't watched or scored it while the people who do like it have given it a higher score. I don't disagree that this would make sense, but it does bring scores closer together and 50% of anime are rated between 6.54 and 7.60 which is a very tight margin for so many anime to be rated between. |
  |
| 5.5 is the mean and median average although I get the reasoning that as there are over 10k anime out there we can say that we've only decided to see the best out of the 10k+ out there to justify a high average score. Of course a counter to this kind of reasoning would be that since we've seen such a small percentage that we can't really know what an average out of the 10k+ should be but whatever it's your list |

| according to Sturgeon's law 90% of all anime are shit, so your average should be LOWER than 5 |
| I see most people with a mean under 5 and less than 100 days completed as either a person that drops it on purpose to appear critical or someone who just doesn't think before picking what he watches (which is kinda dumb). |
