I really wanted to show you the animes l watched but iam too lazy when it comes to rate anime and fixing my profile...sorry dude |
Johnnyd3rp said: WhenACatFlies said: The best two examples I can give are Kaicho wa Maid-sama and Rosario to Vampire season 2. When it comes to Kaicho wa Maid-sama, I will say I haven't read the manga. I'm 20 episodes in and I can't understand why it has such a high rating. Every episode can be guessed by simply understanding that Usui will be the one to save Misaki whenever she's in trouble and he seems to always know where she is. As much as I like the dysfunctional romances present in anime and all the stalkerish actions that pass for romance or the whole will they won't they, Kaicho wa Maid-sama fails all of those by being so fucking predictable. I can't even call Usui a character, he's more like a walking wish fulfillment. Usui is pretty much great at everything he does. What are his flaws? (being a stalker doesn't count because in this anime that is just another wish fulfillment) The anime doesn't differ too much from the manga, it's a good adaptation. The manga is one of the most clichè shoujo i've ever read though. I gave it a 6, i quite enjoyed it (also the fact that there is a citation of Basara in the beginning helped) but it maintained the same formula for 18 volumes. It feels pretty cliche to me too (the anime), but I want to finish it. Hate to be stuck 6 episodes before the end. But unlike other anime, I can't help but drag this one. Psycho pass 2 was bad imo and the first half was so fucking hard to get into it, but at least after some point it becomes kinda easier to binge the remaining half. With Maid-sama I don't have this ease, it's gotten progressively harder to do that. And hey my favorite manga is Hana Yori Dango which also has many cliches in it (though I can not be sure if it was the one that invented those/popularized them or just borrowed them) and has many flaws but it is still uplifting to read it, for me at least. Some arcs are more fun and interesting than others (last arc with that Umi girl is pretty shitty and unnecessary drama). But at least it's not that easy to predict because Tsukasa isn't the only one saving/helping Tsukushi, unlike Usui and Misaki. I hardly even remember the rest of the cast(except that cross-dressing boy). :( |

What is generic, how can you tell if something is generic before watching it, and how can you tell if something is generic when you don't watch generic stuff? -and finally, "stuff I know I'll enjoy". Yeah. That's called following hype. I personally pick shows I THINK I'll enjoy (like anyone else, I'm almost sure of it), it doesn't prevent me from watching shows that bore me to death (no matter their genre, reputation, or how good I thought they would be). I also get excellent surprises when watching shows I don't particularly care abput (KlK was the most obvious example for me) TL;DR: just say "I rate high and it's none of your fucking business" next time. edit: On a slightly off-topic subject, I think your way to rate makes it totally impossible to get a grasp of your taste. I just can't figure any pattern in that sea of 9 and 10, and as a result wouldn't recommend anything to you, or, ironically, really generic stuff. @Scarlett_Ryuken then fix your quote, lol xD edit 2 woops, forgot to finish a sentence here. |

| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |
| @Scarlett_Ryuken Apparently it does since I'm not deluding myself into thinking I'm super good at picking the best from anime and everything I watch is an instant masterpiece because I laid my eyes upon it. I'm sure a lot of people just refuse to admit they spent 8 hours on something they didn't love madly lol. |

| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |
| Yup, that's totally my case, better don't even look or you will be grossed out I suppose. I enjoy watching / reading too much and I don't give the rating any special thought. It's not constructive at all but I don't care. It's solely according to my personal enjoyment but seeing the majority of users have a problem with it and like to lash out every now and then, it's sad but I get it. And then I wish MAL had an option to erase all the ratings on list at once so I could avoid users who get rather aggresive when it comes to this. I don't care what methods and rating system user use, if they rate my favorite shows poorly or drop them but I wish it was the same the other way around. |
 |
| I'm not optimistic enough to say that everything I read and say is golden masterpiece. I also don't have the time to go out of my way to search up unique and well rated animes. I simply go down the list of certain genres and if it catches my eye I'll watch it. The ratings are for me though, whether or not I'll come back to certain animes/mangas in the future and rewatch them. |
| Well, my average rating is 8.4, which is high I guess. But the average score (the mean of MAL ratings) of the shows I have seen is 8,1, so it's not that surprising I guess. Most of the shows I have seen are rated 8+ on this site, and even among the 8+ shows I carefully picked the stuff I thought i would probably like. When i run out of the good stuff and start watching random mediocre anime, my average is sure to go down. |
| @Clebardman Let me quote myself. sasalx said: You don't have to. If you don't like a show you can drop it after 3 episode. Or maybe you like lots of genre. As I said (apparently you said that too) you can drop a show you don't like. Usually I don't even bother to add an anime to my dropped list if I drop it after 3 episode. Even if I add something to my dropped list I don't rate it. Because I just don't want to judge an anime after seeing X episode. So I hope this makes sense now for you. If not oh well but rest assure I will never say "I rate high and it's none of your fucking business" . |
| I have a mean score of 8.11. Thats good right? I also have a lot of 9s and 10s on my list. Most of those anime deserve it though. |

This is the kind of mindset that needs to change in this community. This idea that in order to "truly" enjoy and appreciated anime you must rate everything with a 9-10, and not criticize shows is absurd. Sadly this is the anime community so better not get my hopes up. ┐(‘～`；)┌ |

kikyo1hinamora said: it is better than hating everything and having a mean score of 5 Too me a mean score of 5 would just mean everything you watch you think is generally average. Once it gets below a 5 though i start to question why people watch anime if the majority of stuff they watch they don't like. |
| Too kawaii to live, too mahou shoujo to die >:D |
| @Nemesis92 @Meryeme-Mery - That argument only really holds out if your interests align almost perfectly with MAL's scores, in which case you're extremely unusual. Of course, unless you are of a contrary turn of mind, you can expect to have a higher score if you only watch higher rated stuff, assuming a consistent rating system. But not by anywhere near that much. My average score of anime rated 8.00+ on MAL is 6.76. Slightly over a full point above my average, but far, far below the average of the scores for these series on MAL. I suspect that if someone with ratings of the figures given by Nemesis92 started watching everything that came their way rather than just things with a high MAL score, they'd either readjust their ratings downwards on realising that they had been overrating things previously or continue to have an average rating of around 8/10. |

I could change my ratings to give an average score of 8+ quite easily. I'd be extremely surprised if I liked the anime I came across any less than the people who use such rating systems (I've come across plenty of people with far more negative opinions of anime they watch than me with average scores more than 2 points higher). It wouldn't change how much I enjoyed a single show one bit. I just prefer being able to show the degree to which I enjoy something, which you lose if you adopt a scale like that. In exchange such a scale gives you more ability to show off how much you dislike the bad stuff, which means that a system that produces a higher average rating actually means a bigger focus on your dislikes*. *edit: assuming you use the full scale, that is. But if you don't, then remember that only using 1-5 is EXACTLY THE SAME as only using 6-10. But produces an average 5 points lower. |

Once it gets below a 5 though i start to question why people watch anime if the majority of stuff they watch they don't like. Imho it depends on how much anime you have in your list, a mean score of 5 on someone who has watched only 20 shows it means that 1) he should take more time when deciding what to watch 2) bad recommendation. A mean score of 5 on someone with 500 or more anime is to be expected, you can't enjoy everything. You also have to take in account also the rating method is using, if he has a more critical approach when rating something or if he just like to give a try to a genre that he know he wouldn't enjoy. |
 |
| Ok so I have two main points to this. First off I don't think it's the fault of the people making the list but rather that scoring systems are ultimately flawed from the beginning. Some people are on principle against the idea of scoring because it's hard to wrap your head around a number(myself included), it doesn't tell me what was good or bad and it's void of any deeper analysis. It's easy to say 10 is perfect, so that must mean everything from sound to story was fantastic! but everything between 2-8 isn't so clear cut and it's hard to quantify what get's more points, story or sound, no! maybe art, but what about voice acting? That's very subjective and a single score can't cover everything if you haven't calculated the mean value through combining all aspects of an anime but even then it wouldn't really help anyone but you and it still can't cover any deeper topics. Secondly, the feeling a good anime gives will skew your view, you might be emotional or adrenaline filled, but it's very fleeting and will soon seem very distant. You can't quite tell what was so special about it or why you gave it a 10 in the first place. My anime list has been through many iterations since I joined this site, at first I had only seen a few and everything was a 9 or 10 then I saw more and I adjusted the ones that wasn't so special, a process which has repeated itself, until I ended up with a mean score of 6.5 similar to yourself OP. Lastly I think on some level we don't want to admit that we might have spent time on things that wasn't all that great so we fool ourselves to justify watching bad animes by giving them a much higher score than they deserve. |
KempsiiFeb 23, 2017 12:13 PM
| OK, when I read some posts, I realized that people like me (having a mean score around 5) are called "haters". I personally don't hate animes except the ones I've given a 1. Every anime has good sides and bad sides. And I thinnk having a mean score of over 9 is meaningless. You just can't like everything you watch. There will always be the ones you don't like and that is exactly why there is a rating system. I think a mean score can't be over 7 and below 3. Because people can't be that optimistic or pessimistic. |
 |
| How dare they enjoy anime more than we do!! Down with them! Down I say! |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| Soo, mine is a 7 just because you can't name a lot of anime that has a 10 rating, i have a couple(like 3 or 4) with a 10. I think 10's should be given to absolute masterpieces and its always your opinion on what a 10 is. I will never overate a series, I will rate a series based on how i've felt watching it. 10's rarely come around these days |
This life is a marathon, I'm on a steady pace |

Star- said: raisa864 said: Coming from someone who's watched 300 anime (259 days worth) and has a mean average of 8.52, I never felt like any of the anime I watched was below a 5 (below average) in terms of enjoyment. There are some titles that were bad but I just don't remember them so they're not included in my list. How is that even possible? 260 days with only 300 shows? I am at 1.9k with 215 days. It's not like you only watched shows with 500+ episodes I compared our myanimelists in terms of completed anime (excluding the currently watching, on hold, dropped which also factor into total days). I completed 199 TV shows (of different episode ranges) of the 276 I completed all together. The rest of the 77 were OVAS, specials, movies. I rewatched 42 shows. In total, I had 14918 episodes. For you, you completed 596 TV shows (a lot more than me). The rest of the 1.9K, however, were specials, OVAS, and movies. That's why your episode count was 13566 (less than mine). Even though I completed less (almost a third of yours), I must have watched TV shows with more episodes. |
| The only answer I can give you is that they're trolling, either that or they just have a genuine love for all the japanese have created and can look past the flaws to see the blessed work that kamisama has put upon us. |

| Hottest Take Ever, fite me: Fairy Tail is better than Seiya, Bungou Stray and Hitman Reborn |
| I enjoyed everything I watched so far, that's all. Because you get to pick what anime you're going to watch, right? I made the right picks. |
 |
| They either just put really high scores for a laugh, or more than likely don't think about what their rating. Personally, before I give something a 9 or a 10 I think to myself "Is this really one of my all time favourites?" |
| LOL. i saw a lot of people giving 10 in their score i know its their list and they are free to do what they want with it and its their opinion but cmon there is no such a thing as 10 out of 10 there is always something that prevents that 10. for me when i enjoy an anime i ll put 7 that means its good. I have never seen an anime that deserves 10 out of 10. |
| Well, I think I'm similar if not identical to that guy. Although I haven't listed hundreds of Animes I've watched because.. Too lazy. And I don't remember how much I liked many of the Animus I have listed, so.. They just end up being blank. But it works sorta if not completely like this for me: 10 > OMERGERD I FOKKIN LOV DIS! AAAAAAAAA *wipes tears from one eye* 9 > AWESOME! <33333 8 > Yay, I really liked this :D!!!!!!! 7 > This was great :) 6 > It was ok :o 5 > Watchable 4 > Ehh..

Unless I'm doing random-picking. Or even a 2/3. Maybe I have a few 4s, MAYBE, and to find a 4 I guess I would have to list every Anime I've watched ever and the ones I do remember how much I enjoyed, and that's just a hassle... Cause I gotta find them first of all, and I gotta remember how much I liked it -.- |
| The main factor I usually go on when rating an anime is how much I was compelled to watch one episode after another, or in other words, binge watching(unless it was an anime movie). Something else I also go off of is how attached was the anime able to make the characters to me. The interpersonal/emotional side usually holds a high priority for me, but of course there can be exceptions such as those times when I'm in the mood for some action/adventure or something similar that may not normally come with high amount of that sort of content. In general though I'm pretty casual when it comes to rating. |
PheolingAnimu said: he's clearly not watched charlotte yet.Well he at least explained his thought process so i'll share it with you. "Let me explain my thought process here. My to go to score is 9, and the only requirement to get a 9 from me is "Do I enjoy what I watch?" if yes, then it's a 9. However, if I ejnoy it a lot, then it's a 10, and if only ejnoy it somewhat less then it's an 8, and if I ejoy it less than that, it's a 7 or at worst a 6. And I don't use the 1-5 scale at all, to low numbers aren't fun to give out, so I don't." I wouldnt have either if I'd known how shit it is....... I dont have a high mean score[ maybe] but I choose somewhat carefully and therefor enjoy what I watch more. now if I added hentai to my list, every one I got off to[ so almost all of them] woud be rated atleast 8, mostly 10's. |
| if i finish a show i canT see myself giving it lower than a 7 at the absoluTe least. I mean if its lower than a 7 to me why did i finish it? |
| I have a friend with 9+ mean score. He said that he only rate what he likes and when he enjoys the anime, so if he don't like an anime, he will not rate it. I think is not a problem if you do that. |
