What if MAL created a "Least Favourites" list?

Completely hypothetical but it's basically a list that functions exactly as the "Favourites" does, but instead you list your 10+ worst anime. Like anime you finished but wished you hadn't.
Though i don't think it would ever be brought in (bc of more negativity) i think it would be interesting and would add another layer to the ranking of anime to help newcomers to stay away from just bad anime.
Would you be up for this and what anime would you be sure to bag? 🤔

then people would be forced to watch anime they dont like so that they give appropriate score
it would be least favourite most watched. with representative number of masochists in the community

yeah that would be a fun idea.. and also seeing most "least favourited" anime
but then youd also have to make one for manga, no?
and maybe also people and characters then..
and oh my profiles become way more crowded

have you tried making a post in suggestions forum?

I like the idea.. I don't think it's a needed feature though :D But it would be fun to see which popular shows have the most haters.

The idea already crossed my mind,but I think it would only result in even more toxicity.

I want it so badly... There's nothing wrong with it, just that the general "least favourite list" will be a bit toxic but it's normal and I don't really care.

School Days and SAO are the first ones that came to my mind
Those who can't do what they have to when the time comes for action will find their presence fading in our classroom. An assassin who neglects to sharpen his blade is no assassin at all. He's just a boastful brat swinging around a rusty sword.

Nah, if they implemented that feature people would start to circlejerk and bring more toxicity towards certain shows and community in general.

Like the most hated characters list on Anime-Planet? It would be a waste of profile space to me, I don't care enough about my least favourite anime that I'd want to display them on my profile. As mentioned, it'd just generate more toxicity which MAL doesn't encourage.

Then how about least favorite characters and so on? That'll bring out a war. I can imagine threads like "Why is XXX the least favourite anime?" and something like that. Might be fun.

It's unnecessary and would probably only result in more people hating on others cause they don't like their fave anime you know how it is on mal.
Personaly I don't really care, I don't think I have any anime I have such strong dislike for to make a whole list for it haha.

Would make it much easier to tell if you think a user has shit taste or not without needing to check their scores

I can picture it already. Some dude coming to my profile and seeing my favs list and hate list being all triggered

The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.

The problem is: not many people go and watch less known and actual bad anime. So the list would just be full of people showing their “superior” taste with SAO, Eromanga, etc. on top.

So you're making a conversation thread about one of the most commonly rejected suggestions? Seems interesting.

It would give more insight into someone's taste, but at the same time if you get statistics on what people are using it for the most then we know it will be the perfect weapon for trolls.

There definitely isn’t enough room for that on a typical profile.
Furthermore, it’s something you can post on your blog instead.
I have a most hated / overrated character list on my blog. That’s sufficient.

If we had such a feature, I'd expect the most frequent shows on such lists to be popular shows too. Because popular shows are most likely to inspire hatedoms as well.

I think it would work if it was shown underneath favourite anime so you'd still have to expand it to show it and the "negativity" wouldn't be in peoples faces.
I like this idea but would need more than 10.

I checked it out. Not only that, seems like you can also list your most hated studio, people, publishers. It also has Won't Watch list smh. Can't help but wonder.. Why? What's the point? Thou it's interesting to see Sakura is up there being the most hated character lmao

Aren't "good anime" your opinion too? What, is there some sort of objectivity when it comes to greatness, but not for poorness? Some people think your favourite shows are bad too.

I think it's a bad idea. It would only bring negativity to mal. It's nice to meme about bad anime but to seriously showcase your most hated anime...I just don't see the point.

It's an interesting idea though, even if don't agree with it.

Haha, I started watching Date a Live because I was like, I like this character, or at least how she looks, and two episodes in I was like, I don't want to watch more because I don't want it to ruin my almost certainly wrong impression of her.

This is what your about me and blog are for. But if they did have a least favorite all I would put on the list is Shit.Zero season 1 and 2 anyways. And maybe Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. So it would pretty much just be wasted space.

Least favorite character is even more pointless I don't know why Anime-Planet has that feature probably to invoke -stans/-antis flame wars? xD
