I don't think I've seen such polarizing opinions about an anime before , It's either a 3/10 or a 10/10 for pretty much everyone. I've seen almost nothing in between.

Why do you think is an 3/10? I liked the story, but the final was a little bit expected and that's why I gave him 8/10. The final was awful....

OP, almost every anime will have polarizing views. Just go and check the stats of any anime. There will always be that one a-hole who has given a score below 4 or 5 to a really good series or movie.

I'd say it would be SAO, most people are either a massive fan or absolutely hate it, though I'm somewhere in the middle personally. Either that or the mech genre as a whole.

How? It's scored over 8 on MAL so it's not very polarized. It just has vocal haters. Same with Mirai Nikki.

SAO is probably more polarized but if you want something really polarized it's School Days. That's truly 50/50 love/hate right there.

Erased isn't even close to being most polarized though, it's received acclaim from most fans, and by a huge margin.

Well, according to the MAL stats, most people gave it a good score:


People who dislike it are probably just more vocal than the majority of people who do like it. I also remember seeing several reviewers with pretty sizable audiences breaking it down critically, and it not holding up in many areas (though I've never seen it myself).
Overall, it's definitely not the most polarizing. It's just a misconception since the loudness of the critics isn't caused by many voices, only a vocal few of them. It's that way with a lot of anime, especially popular stuff, and makes them seem more hated than they really are~

average does not mean bad. So what he is a casual watcher?

And even if it meant bad the answer is because why not?

What does it hurt you if someone gives your favorite cartoon a bad rating? Stop being butthurt, people can watch bad anime all they want, there is many reasons to do so.

No drop policy, simple curiosity, wanting to review the anime for example, hating on something and seeing the fanboys cry is fun as well.

well to each their own but the assumption that it or anything below a 7 must be a bad rating is stupid. I have seen people who used a 3/10 rating as an average for their own reasons like for example it being easier and more preferable to distinguish between the anime you liked than the ones you disliked, I for one have 3 positive ratings and only two negative because I feel more comfortable that way.

Yeah I never understood the "do not like it do not watch it" argument myself either. Why do people care about others' watchig habits that much? *sigh*

I don't think so, there are so many other series that divided the fans opinions. My brother was lot of time recommending me this anime until I finally saw it a couple o weeks ago. Personally gave it a six, was a correct series, with an intereseting plot, but I did not felt identified with the protagonist, I didn't like his behavior, he was like a child and you maybe will come and tell me that he became into his child version when he back in time, but I remember "17 Again", movie in that movie Chandler become into Zak Effron and he doesn't know how to behave as a teenager, but this man of 29 year old accustom to fast to be a kid again and that gets me out of the story, and the guy it's so idealistic that upsets me, not to mention the deus ex machina
. Anyway Eraser it's never a bad series, only it's not excellent, but it begins to enhace from the chapter 10, the last three episodes are the best, but three chapters are not enough to give it a 7

Only 0.3% people rate it 3/10.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/31043/Boku_dake_ga_Inai_Machi/stats

Large majority give it 8-10.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

People who looked past the forced """"tearjerk"""" pretty much hated it like Anohana. Personally i don't hate it, i totally despise it. It's one of the shows where you gave a 8-10 or a 4-2.
At least Anohana was just forced melodrama while i find Shigatsu even offensive.

No, I say Erased was just one of those seasonal shows that blew up and so you have people either calling it the best or worst. It has been a year and I haven't seen any heated arguments brought up by it recently because people moved on to the next show. Re:Zero and Yuri on Ice are other shows like it.

The most polarizing anime has to be one where people are still furiously debating it years after. I'm not the most knowledgeable on this subject, but I think Evangelion and SAO are good examples.

Not really majority of people (over 60%) rated it either with a 9 or a 10. And not even 1% with a 3 or below.
There are also SOME people who gave it a bad score at the end just because the ending wasn't on pair with the rest. That's really stupid.

Nah man, OP is a critic. He has to find every single fault in something. He can't enjoy anything.
It's about personality. Some people feel like rating a bit lower and having to actually their anime over before rating them helps add a bit of enjoyment to the experience and also helps them understand anime as a whole better. He probably enjoys anime more than you do.

We actually have a polarity command in our Discord bot at the Anime Guild which measures vast discrepancies in scores between the members

Currently the most objectively polarizing anime entry on MAL according to that is the original Mirai Nikki OVA from 2010, followed by a bunch of shorts and then the Oreimo ending specials

For longer TV-series then amongst the most polarizing ones were Akame ga Kill and Tokyo Ghoul Root A. Erased is actually relatively average in comparison

Of course this is only from a small sample size but still some fun numbers

I rated 130 anime a 5/10. 6 times as many as your entire list and it's my 2nd most common rating and you sent me a friend request a few hours ago. Saying that the average anime is average is the sing of bad taste instead of the sing of clear judgement?

Also, most of his fives that I can confirm are fair or understandable (and what I can't confirm are mostly believable).

And why do you think average is bad? Average is not bad. Average is enjoyable enough to worth a watch.

Interesting , OVA's are almost always love it or hate it kind of a deal. Mirai Nikki series itself is receives pretty mixed reviews.
