| I like how some tries to deny 7+ ratings are "bad" and 7- are "good". Wannabe hipsters. It can be true, but that doesn't prove the fact one is better than the other. Anyway. 6 ratings are probably ratings from normies trying to watch underrated shows. This is where tastes mostly differ. Read the synopsis. If it interests you watch it. 5 ratings are probably only generally horrible. This is where eccentric people comes in. It can be good, but rarely 4 ratings are probably downright horrible. The people here have seen shit. It can be good but near-impossible |

| MAL scores are unimportant if said show interests you just watch it |
 |
| Probably,cuz yunno it maybe isn't objective.. People rate anime low or high from various reasons, it is to relative and there are high chances you would actually love anime with low score |
| Most hentai shows are scored below 7, and yet they are in most cases better than those anime rated above 7. |
 |
| If u ask me i like more 6 rated shows than i like 9 rated shows |
| Most underated anime on mal: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4651/Yume_no_Crayon_Oukoku?q=Yume%20ni%20crayon |
Like this wise person said, Mal scores are worth squat. There are shit shows with >8.5, so it is safe to presure that there are great shows with score <7. |
 |
| MAL scores are often bullshit. There are many shows I liked that are scored below a 7. |
| School days has a score almost under 6 and it's great. |
| Most of the MAL scores aren't accurate, so don't always trust in them. So you should watch even if they have a score of 7 or below of that. |
 |
| Watch/read what interests you, other people's opinions should be irrelevant when choosing to consume something in any medium of art. |
 |
| Mal Scores are usually nonsense because most people don't use the rating system properly so finding a semi popular show with a rating below 7 is rather hard. Also you shouldn't base what you watch on other people's opinion if the synopsis sounds interesting go watch it even it F it had a shity score. |
| Series of shorts, standalone ovas, old obscure stuff, and the likes are usually watched by people with lower averages and such.. Some genres also seem to be rated higher or lower almost by default If the series you're thinking of watching is some recent seasonal light novel adaptation with colorful girls then maybe watching it is not a good idea. But if it's one of the categories i mentioned above, and/or you feel like you're particularly interested in the topics presented by the anime more than the average watcher, than maybe it's worth a try. In particular i enjoyed many anime sub 7... akuma no riddle, anime de wakaru shinryounaika, aquarion logos, candy boy, centaur no nayami and thats just from the first 3 letters of the alphabet |

| As everyone here has succinctly stated... The scoring system is definitely BS. :P Stick to genres. |
| MAL scores are subjective. If you liked the trailer and synopsis go for it. I have founded pretty good shows scored below 7 and even below 6, so after all it's up to your personal preference, not the score. |
 |
| Yes. I watched salaryman man and it was worth it. |

| Nope , they are garbage watch them if you are easy to please |
 |
Oh man, this looks amazing, going to have to check it out. Dat voice acting. |
|
| Well all anime are worth watching, even the bad ones. Watching a bad show will also teach you about writing as well |
| Scores are subjective. Watch anything that grabs your attention. |
| Sorry, if u go after mal score something is hella of wrong with you. |
 |
| Only if you think MAL score can represent your opinion |
| Only scrubs think that anything below 7 is bad or that MAL score even means anything. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| its up to you if you trust mal users including their ratings |

| Sometime I have found good animes that have low scores or have bad comments, I think mal score is not important we need to look the types of anime that we enjoyed much in compared to other. |
 |
| if you find something you're interested in, then watch it. watch every anime rated under 5 as well because those can be real gems. |

mosam00 said: There haven been a few new anime recently that I was interested in watching, but held them off until they were finished to start. I checked their scores recently and they're below 7, is it still worth watching them? Have any of you enjoyed anime (thought they were actually good, rather than just fun) that had a score of less than 7 on this website? Yes because the scores mean nothing. I'm glad I didn't let the rating of In another world with my smartphone deter me from watching it cause I thought it was funny and entertaining |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| If its something unpopular the score is much less accurate than in case of popular anime, so I wouldnt care about it. I enjoyed (and yes, considered them good) plenty of shows like that. But in case of popular anime (like in the top 1000) maybe just check the reviews to see what others disliked about it. |
 |
| I prefer anime that has an average score between 6 and 7 because those tend to have the most fanservice. |
 |
| MAL scores are absurd and don't matter much. So, if a show with a score less than 7 interests you, don't hesitate from trying it... |
 |
| So many "MAL scores doesn't matter". But yeah, you can watch stuff below 7. If you want to save your time just don't watch shit below 6. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| My good advice: Don't look at scores ever again. Look at poster tags and studio. It's all you need to find interesting things. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |

I haven't seen them yet but I know they're made of concepts and visuals that appeal to me because I research everything I plan to watch. I see what the haters are saying and look for sexy screenshots. |
|
| Anything's worth watching, but for different reasons. Anything below a 7 usually lacks in one or more major categories when we score it, but that doesn't mean that they're terrible. There are plenty of series I've watched under 6 where I can find at least one thing I like. Usually, though, I watch these kind of like why film directors watch The Room . Ya know, to know what's not part of a good anime. |
 |
| Score doesnt really determine worth watching or not I found myaelf soemtime enjoyong anime below 7 But ofc if you are new to anime watching from high score is a good idea then trying other anime with low score that you think you might enjoy |
| Yes, that is why I watch everything each season and find really good or at least decent shows from the rough. I'd say you should watch the mainstream ones first and get rid of the mentality of that shows with low scores are bad. You shouldn't base your opinion on the general concensus, you'll find it easier to enjoy everything and judge it fairly unlike a lot of people. |

|
| iye its worth. dont ever trust mal scores |
  |
| I used to think that anything below 7 on this site is shit when i was just getting into anime. But now i can watch anime which are below 7 with no problem. Its just a matter of time, ur range will expand when u will watch more anime. |
