maybe myanimelist is removing scores from inactive users? or users who gave one punch man a 10 just to bring the score up (e.g users who their only anime is opm and it's a 10) idk man

Yep, that is a pretty big drop, it is popular though so a lot of people are probably watching it/ completed and so the dramatic drop happens.

If it was a obscure series and it got a big drop like that then I would consider it odd.

Well even for an immensly popular series like OPM it is very fishy. SO my theory either it was a bug on MAL all along and OPM never had that high a score or it is a bug the other way around.
Bots may also be true...

Looking at how there isnt any serious spike in the lower rankings I think we can drop the bot theory...

No anime has ever dropped this much in so little time. It was 8.71 two days ago. There's no way that many people finished it and ranked it low enough for it to drop that much. This is extremely odd, when I first made my MAL account opm was rated 8.79 and that was 1 year and 11 months ago. There's no possible way in 2 days it dropped more than double of what it did in 2 years

This caught my eye too. It's definitely odd and should be reported.

It's still a high score, inside the top 100, you should still feel pleased

That's not the issue here. It's simply not normal.

That's true, perhaps mal got rid of a mass of up vote bot accounts that was giving it 10/10?

Yeah, i really dont see what else did that outside of MAL cleaning up all the bots and accounts only created to give OPM a 10/10

Why only OPM though? Why are not other series affected? Don't tell me FMA doesn't have bots.

the Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru light novel dropped from 8.91 to 8.88 in one day, not sure if this is the same thing but both were drops that don't seem normal

Agree, I mean I love FMAB but if there's one anime where there are plenty of reasons to suspect that it has an army of bots protecting it from dropping in the rankings and letting other show to pass it.... that's FMAB xD so if the reason was really the removal of bots then FMAB's score surely had to drop a bit as well.

Maybe some admin only looked for OPM bots, not all other series? Yes, that's still technically unfair to focus only on OPM, but it would explain why other series with bot armies aren't affected.

someone was experimenting what would happen when you take away 70,000 "10" votes
