Even tho a lot of people simply don't care about the MAL rating system I want to know animes that even after long periods of time the score didn't drop or even got higher.
I saw the all mighty FMA Brotherhood with the 9.25 score drop to 9.24 and shows like HunterXHunter that the score actually went from 9.11 to 9.12 even after all those years.
I also want to know to have some anime recommendations and maybe find some hidden gems.

Considering both Clannad AS and A Silent Voice are heavy drama shows, the fact that they're ~9's

Haikyuu S3 despite being a sports anime (Which usually the best ones sit around ~8.5) is almost 9

Gintama despite being a comedy (and the loud obnoxious kind) has 4 seasons with 9+, as well as 1 in the top 5

Ashita no Joe 2. I think the score was around 8.5-8.55 when I've finished it about two years ago, now it's sitting at an 8.64.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

GTO was in top 10 before.

But the show have dropped a bit now, beacuse ppl are retarded.

It's a good show and it jumps around in the ranking around the 40-35th place.

HunterXHunter scored up because of the trolls, it's just war between fans of fmab, gintama, steins gate, hunterxhunter, they make hundreds of accounts to score any anime that gets in the way of their favorite anime being number one. That's why MAL ranking is just a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously. It really makes me wonder if the animes that I mentioned treally deserves it's score, half of the scorer are trolls

Don't think of it as a quality rating; it's a popularity rating.

Does the mod team have any way to control that? Like banning the smurf accounts?
I don't really care about the score either, just see the ratings that a give of animes that I watch.
But anyways the score can give you an idea of how the anime is and it's quality

Averages tend to stabilize after a while, their biggest variations happen while they are airing and in the days/weeks immediately after at most.

So basically any show applies to this thread.

What's the point in believing in MAL ratings, since for so many titles people made multiple accounts to give them 1, or 10?

That being said, I do think it is incredible that LOGH is still in Top 10, not because it doesn't deserve it, it does, it is definitely amazing 10/10 masterpiece, but, IMO, most of people on MAL think newer is better by default, so something that finished airing in 90s, no matter how good, being rated so high on this site is rather surprising.

I would say that's false, just from the top list I saw Clannad, owarimonogatari 2,haikyuu, shigatsu wa kimi no uso, Code Geass, boku no hero, bakuman, shokugeki no souma, mob psycho and more drop the mean score in the last few months

Yeah, but they don't drop significantly, at most 0.1-0.2 which isn't really a big change overall. And if you mean Mob Psycho II, that ended airing just a little more than a month ago. That barely counts as a "test of time".

The animes based on classic novels from the world masterpiece theater seem to hold their scores rather well despite being very old.

Princess Sara (based on a little Princess)
https://myanimelist.net/anime/2547/Princess_Sara

Akage no Anne (based on Anne of green gables)
https://myanimelist.net/anime/283/Akage_no_Anne

Romeo no aoi sora (based on the black brothers)
https://myanimelist.net/anime/2559/Romeo_no_Aoi_Sora

There's a few other world masterpiece theater anime's that are worth watching but for the MAL scores they currently have and when they where released,i'd say these where the cream of the crop.

what I got from all these replies is you really need a large following fanbase like FMA, HxH & Gintama to consistently remain at number 1

these people who think old anime is bad do not watch old anime therefore do not rate old anime
pretty obvious

The mods can ban those account if you report them but they wouldn't do it by themselves. Just look at attack on titan season 3 part 2, the numbers on score 1 hasn't been lessened at all even if every single one of them is troll.

Do you know how many troll accounts were created in the past several months to downvote everything else and upvote Hunter x Hunter (2011)? Educate yourself before saying anime surviving the passage of time. Didn't even feature in greatest 100 anime of all time.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) is an openly pedophile yaoi anime. And it stands at 9.12 because people like yaoi and pedophilia. I am waiting for the day when Hisoka bangs Gon, actually. Too bad the author is clueless on how to finish this chore right now.

Btw, I am having it at 10/10 because I like Lenny. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

oh, that's really weird I thought hunter x hunter is scored high due its phenomenal story telling, the philosophy of each character being fully fleshed out, the amazing character development and the brilliantly portrayed villains. You're probably only saying this because you haven't watched hunter x hunter or because it's ranked higher than your favourite anime

why are you generalising a whole anime with the fact that hisoka is a pedophile which he is not I will admit he is one creepy son of a bitch but kids don't turn him on,powerful opponents do and that because people like yaoi there's no yaoi scenes what's so ever in hunter x hunter Also that's like me saying people like FMAB because it has child abuse. People like hunter x hunter because it's a amazing show. You're probably only saying because you're upset that hunter x hunter is ranked higher than most of your favourite shows

I haven't read the responses to the thread but i'm sure someone mentioned this Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu. I aim to complete most of the top rated shows so whenever I used to see this I used to avoid it because I personally don't judge top ratings as seriously. Because less people watch Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu(33k) or Ashita No Joe(8k) their rating can easily increase higher because of how many people actually watch the show FMA (870k)
Theoretically, if a anime is watched by 1 user and is rated 10 by the user, it would be the number one rated anime.

That's not how it works. The rating gets weighed based on how many people have rated a show, so the less viewers the harder it actually is to have a high score. Not to mention that under 50 ratings the score is always 0.00 because that's the minimum requirement.
I probably regret this post by now.

I don't know why no one mentioned Perfect Blue and EoE yet.

Perfect Blue was around 8.20 when I joined MAL but it's now 8.37 and I think it will goes higher and higher. Even back in like 2011 the rating was under 8:
http://web.archive.org/web/20110424225244/https://myanimelist.net/anime/437/Perfect_Blue

The same goes for End of Evangelion. The rise of score isn't as high as Perfect Blue but it still rises through time.

And I think most other elitist shows are the same for obvious reasons

FMA:Brotherhood and Gintama have been there ever since especially the former reigning at the top position for god knows how long. There was a time when Kimi no Nawa rose to #1 when it came out but it triggered a lot of overly-invested fanboys. Can you even believe people actually waste their time creating hundreds of new accounts just to rate their favorite anime higher and their hated anime lower? Lmfao.
