| I probably regret this post by now. |
| It's most likely a bug, you'd have to make more than 10000 accounts to make FMAB drop 0.14. Plus it doesn't have many 1s from what I've seen. |

Connortit said: well i mean, there have been bot down voters lately (or so i've heard) but i can see your point about mal site acting upi think its just the mal site playing up theres no way a show loses 0.14 in a day when it has over 700k votes |

| maybe a lot of old accounts with high ratings for FMAB got cleaned up today ?_? |
 |
| Couldn't care less about the scores but it's extremely hilarious that this happened so randomly. |
 |
| What the heck? What happened here? Did someone overslept, or something? |
| Jolyne Kuujou + Steel Ball Run Universe = Billie Eillish |
| Most likely the admins have deleted at once some obvious fake or inactive accounts. |
| lol what a dropped that was but im not gonna be surprise if it comes back to the top again |
| I'm a FMA fan and I fail to see what the big deal is. Barely paid attention to the top anime list to begin with. Doesn't matter if it's first or 100th on the list,won't change my opinion of it or anything that takes it's place. |
| It dropping down to #6 seems kinda suspicious tbh did someone bot it or what lol Now the real question is when will the hardcore FMA fans come out and bot it back to #1 |
 |
| Woah I was expecting to see it #2 but it got way down, that's weird. If this is a bug I'm just gonna enjoy seeing Snk at the top for a while before it gets fixed lol |

I like both series so even if I did pay attention to this I wouldn't be bothered either way. |
| Oh, how the mighty has fallen. MAL start banning bots now? |

| Lmao those aot fans are going all out, apparently. Good to know we have people who can challenge the gintama tard, in that regard. |

It's actually highly entertaining to watch those people who actually care for silly stuff like that. Sure, it's great they care so much about there favorite series that this stuff gets them excited, in no way do I mean to look down on them. I just personally would rather focus on the stuff I'm watching more than what rank it has. |

This is a system where apparently Dragon Ball Z is rated higher than Serial Experiments Lain — it's hard to take it seriously. It also wouldn't surprise me if average reviewer that rated Lain highly has a lower mean score than of F.M.A.B.. |

To be fair Serial Experiments Lain would probably go over the head of an average viewer it's more of an niche anime for few intellectual inclined. Proceeds by saying Lain should have been rated higher than DBZ. |
| I don't know why most of you guys are making a big fuss about it. So what if SnK became first and FMA: Brotherhood dropped down to 6.? After all, SnK and FMA are at the top of the list, which shows that they're the best animes. Complaining about the freaking position is so childish. It's not like they're in the Top 9000. If it's the bot or whatsoever's business and FMA ranks 1. again, as a person who loves SnK so much, I wouldn't give a damn, the two animes are perfect after all. |
 |
| was about time. guess the bots are going. |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| Maybe they removed long inactive and troll accounts. Whenever something threatened the #1 position, fanboys were always swarming in. |
 |
| Nothing remarkable happened, as far as I'm concerned. |

| I am so happy now!!!!!! Not because my favorite SNK got the No.1( and I can't tell which one of my favorite should be on No.1) but for FMAB going at it's deserved position. |

| Yeah, that kind of drop is incredibly unnatural. It's likely just a temporary glitch, probably as the dev team was working through the code (similar to what happened with ecchi anime a while back). I've enquired about it and will keep this thread posted. As an extra note for the future since people are throwing out the bot point, the "upbotters" and "downbotters" tend to just cancel each other out completely or cause only a very slight deviation. |

That's almost 10 years!! FMAB is a great anime but I think it's a testament to the quality of some of the series we are seeing these days (like SNK) :)) very different. |

It's not that simple, sequels tend to get higher ratings than the prequel even if they're just as good as the prequel, as the sequels are mostly only watched by people who already liked the prequel. The ratings for sequels are therefore often skewed. |
Sai-B said: On the flip side, FMA:B greatly benefits from the 1/5th rule. Very convenient as Brotherhood's weakest moments are in its first 12 episodes. It's almost like a rite of passage since it's around episode 14 that things really take off and FMA:B shows its true colors.melfluere said: I don't know why most of you guys are making a big fuss about it.

| I bet it’s going to regain its previous position in less than a week. |
| To judge others by your own standard is the height of folly. |
| The salt when it is fixed by tomorrow would be priceless. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I think this this most likely a bug/glitch, something similar to what happened with One Punch Man a few months ago, where it got its score a lot higher all of a sudden, boosting its ranking from #46 to #22, before going back to its usual ranking place once again. Even in that case, the score of all the other anime remained the same like it is here. Losing 0.14 rating points within a day sound literally absurd for an anime with such a huge viewerbase and no. of votes. |
