Actually, why is it even on MAL to begin with? Has anyone even seen that or is it all just an elaborate troll? HELP, this has been burning a hole in my brain forever.

The same reason for why the Filthy Frank series is ranked number 1 on Top IMDB TV series. So, in short, an elaborate troll.

Why is Pingu on MAL?

Because some Japanese found it a good idea to make a new Pingu series.

Corey in the House (Corey Zeta Shonen) is the most overrated Anime of all time. It is nothing but a long and drawn out Anime, filled with mary sue characters that do not undergo any form of development whatsoever. If you want an actually good Anime, then you should be digging deep for gems such as Thomas the Tank Engine.

It has the greatest op theme of this century.
(2002)

Made in Japan baby. Lesson learned: if you wanna get your shit featured on MAL, move to Japan and air your stuff there.

Why is it in the top 100?

Why not? It's better than most seasonal shows that follow the same formula over and over again.

[Insert name here] show is better than Pingu

No.

It's obviously because Pingu is a fantastic anime that many people know and love. Trololololol.

The reason why it's even on MAL is because it is made by a Japanese animation studio. I think that's how MAL defines what is or isn't an anime and it pisses me off since Thunderbolt Fantasy isn't on here.

calling it elaborate is not doing the word elaborate any justice tbh.

Yeah, you are right. It was lame. I was just saying "elaborate troll" because the user above said "elaborate troll", not that I think it is elaborate in any way.

Did you see that scene where the friend of Pingu dies and Pingu decides to revenge him by killing the assassin using his sharingan and also promises to become hokage for him? It makes the anime a 10/10

"LEL Pingu is an annime xD LMAO so funny we should get it to #1 amirite guys that would be hilarious"

Those types of people are why.

Also, Pingu isn't even the best penguin in anime:

- https://myanimelist.net/character/120503/Eclair_Acleir_Aicler

- Grape-kun

Plenty of others too that I am too lazy to look up.

Because it's a complex space opera dissecting the moral implications of war and you aren't a true anime fan if you haven't watched it.

Because Reddit, they made it obvious that MAL scores are easily manipulable and not trustworthy.
Too bad that it isn't ranked higher, then it'd be even more prominent.
I found it quite good for a kids show but not top 100 worthy.

I think that Owarimonogatari second season, a season of Gintama and Your Name were also ahead of FMAB for a while.

You are welcome :), I usually use anime-stats.net to look at the score evolution but Pingu wasn't there.

It's in the database because we're consistent on objective values. It's a Japanese-animated show by the same studio that did Ajin and Sidonia no Kishi. Not our fault they decided to make a Pingu series.

Oh, you weren't around when this meme was fresh. At the beginning of its airing, it was Top 10, which was pretty fantastic and led to some funny butthurt.

Nowadays, it's pretty played out. Surprised to see people still beating this dead horse.
