| that statement is wrong. /thread closed |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| Bullshit, it's like saying that Marvel's movies are better than Tarkovskij's Stalker just because they are more popular. |
 |
| Being good makes a show popular but not all popular shows are good. |
| Nazism was pretty damn popular circa 1933 so no, I definitely don't think so. |
Take care of yourself |
| popular = appeal to larger audience this is how i see popularity |
 |
| Popularity denotes mass appeal, which isn't necessarily synonymous with good. There are many great things that will never never have mass appeal, especially when it comes to things that are esoteric or niche in nature. For something to be popular, it needs to be palatable and more easily digestible. Popular things are only "good" if popularity is the means of measurement that we use to determine goodness. This kills objectivity, which would mean the death of art as we know it, and many other things... |

| Consider it like this, I am a good person and I am not even popular. So .... I am just letting you people know what to do. |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Tokyo Ghoul is popular Does that answer your question? |

| Absolutely not. Popular just means it's very accessible to the masses, which is most of the time not a good thing. Especially when it comes to anime/manga, because the fanbase is relatively young. |
| Nope. Almost every popular thing is bad. |
 |
| depends if the popular thing is also your taste. So if something is popular doesnt mean its good for you or others |
  |
Thank you kind sir. *Tips fedora* Those are my thoughts as well. My man. |
| I am a woman, but thank you anyway mister |

| I mean every popular show has clearly done something right but popularity is certainly not a way to measure quality. Nothing can be objectively good nor bad, so even if we agree that "popular" is not synonymous with "good", I don't think it's right to say all popular shows are "bad" either. |
Comic_Sans said: I am a woman, but thank you anyway mister Oh my bad. M'lady. I am actually surprised.  |
| Ill the the bad guy and say yes, to an extent. Steins;Gate is ranked #5 overall and #8 in popularity, so it holds some truth. There are many more but that's just the example I'm using. But then again Bleach is #14 in popularity, and I hear nothing but negative things about it, so it goes both ways. So who knows...  |
 |
| Hell no. Who believes that to be true |

| Hell No, that's very a dumb thing to ask. |
| Mass appeal is one kind of good entertainment value is another kind of good quality is another kind of good originality and innovation is another kind of good. The first is only one that can be objectively measured with exception of arbitrary guides that can be objectively followed Moog said: Popularity denotes mass appeal, which isn't necessarily synonymous with good.

This kills objectivity, which would mean the death of art as we know it, and many other things... There is no such thing as objectively good art. There is only how well an art fits into an objective guide frame for that specific style but that doesn't necisarily mean it's good in other measures of good. What is a good style? Is it good or bad if it does not fit in a specific known style? There is no objective answer. |
| it is popular for a reason... but uhhh idk im gonna have to say no lol |
 |
DateYutaka said: to me there is Objectively good art . That should tip you off it's subjective. |
| Popular means it's more likely to be good. |
 |
| Definitely not, just look on Top 10, or Most popular anime here on MAL, trash after trash, with some honorable exceptions. |
 |
| Popularity and Good are like the X and Y axis (Axies? Axisis? I don't know) on a 3-D graph. They touch, but a positive or negative value in one doesn't mean the other will have the same value. |

| Not always, for example AKB48 is popular but has below average music overall. |
 |
| Ever heard of opinions?Does popular=good should be self explanatory. |
 |
| Definitely not. As others have said, the only thing that popularity actually shows is that it has a wider appeal than something that is less popular... and because most people have awful tastes in nearly everything, wide appeal isn't necessarily a plus. |
 |
| Bandwagon Fallacy is perhaps the most well known fallacy. Anyone who still thinks so must take a course in logic and fast. |

| Yes, it very much does, only the best can attract the attention of everyone. Whether they be a mudslinging shitposter or an site admin, they're not popular for nothing. Hell they could be good at all the wrong reasons, but you can't deny their skill. |
 |
| Donald Trump was elected as president by the people, and he was a huge hit on tv, so he's obviously popular. but most ppl dont think he's good though. |
| Of course not, that's just ridiculous to me as most of the time I think it's the other way around, Popular = Shit. |

| Nope. I find that more often than not, the opposite rings more true. |
| Obviously not. Popular crap is anathema to people who've actually watched enough anime to develop a taste. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Depends on how you define good. Obviously a large group of people like popular things by definition, so they consider these things good. You can find flaws with anything, but it's up to the individual to make their decision on whether something is good for them or not. |
| if a show is popular that means a big amount of people like it doesnt mean its good but there is a thing called opinions |
| popular shows are on average good for most people but not all good shows are popular opinions play a big role |
 |
| There are shit ton of games that ppl hate, and its popular among most people. There are clothing that appeals to most people and others that don't. One way of looking at it is I guess the trend that is occurring, but being not following the trend does not equal of "hating it" in someways, it just means ppl have their own prefered stuff... For me, art should be involve in how I will decide something I will watch. If its from the 2000s era or something, of course I will think outside of 2015 artsytle and just, follow with it. Let it first absord within me. Not, really anything about clothing, I wear simple jeans and walking shoes if its Summer, and winter boots during Winter. |
| Nah of course not, just look at No Game No Life |
| why would you ask such an obvious question when you know the answer? |
