WorldEnd: What Do You Do at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us?
| 7.86 is not enough ? |
 |
| The novel is even better and deserves the place it's at. |
 |
| I don't think it's unreasonable for it's score to stay below 8 in spite of all that it did right for the simple reason that the ending was not, in any sense, satisfying. It needs a second season or an OVA or a movie or something to give it a proper conclusion but lacking that, this is what it's going to be. |

Errr there's plenty of unfinished stories among the top 50 anime on MAL. One of the most recent examples being Made in Abyss, that ends probably in an even less conclusive way than Sukasuka, and it didn't stop it from reaching as high as the 18th place. So while you have a point with it not being finished, I would say that being finished or not doesn't seem to be that big of an obstacle for a far better rating that this. So not sure the low rating comes from there. Anyway, I'm not sure I would really bother with MAL's ratings to begin with. There are plenty of peoples who create multiple fake accounts to raise the rating of their favourite animu (as well as anything with the same name in another medium) and downvote anything they hated/that is easy to downrate due to low amount of ratings/that is ranked above their beloved animu. For example novel-side Sukasuka novel is currently under that kind of "attack" with dozen of fake account rating it with 3s and 2s. Main culprits I've seen doing that kind of shit novel side on MAL are the LOGH and the Umineko/Higurashi fanbase; but they're probably not the only ones, and novel side is just easier to spot, it happens anime side and manga side as well, in a far larger scale to boot. With such shitty behaviour, hidden gems like Sukasuka novels (and to a degree, anime) who enjoy a relatively good average rating while having a low amount of rating creating it are perfect targets for massive downrating. So I would say, don't bother with rating on MAL, it's completely rigged. |

| It is still a mystery why people take mal ratings seriously. |

It just happens that the reason it's unsatisfying is because its unfinished (and also cause it left off at an unsatisfying spot).

It's no secret that MAL (or for that matter any large enough group on aggregate... for example, the entire nation of Japan) has shit taste, so of course the only real purpose for MAL ratings is to complain bitterly about them being out of step with our personal opinions. |
| Such a super underrated show. It really just came out at a bad time. It having a super long title and being a light novel really screwed it. If it had come out 3 years ago it would have been a huge hit. Really sucks. I would read the light novels myself but the fan translation isn't so hot. Hopefully it either somehow gets a S2 (which I doubt) or the light novels get an official translation. |

Not really a problem of shit taste here, creating multiples accounts is just tempering with the real scores, and on top of this most of the time those peoples haven't even read what they're downvoting, sometimes, not even read what they're upvoting either. If it was real rating of 1 per person and only from persons who read it, then I would be ok with it no matter the result. But it's not. And that's why I'm saying that MAL mean rating is of little importance, because it fails even at representing the real opinion of its users. |

| That title is cancer, fuck this anime. |
| I'm waiting for another adaption of this. |
 |
| If I remember the season right, this anime was far from underrated. But you can't expect people to keep talking about it forever. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |

| Disagree tbh, I thought the last episode was a great finale but it was a chore to get there. |
