| I am ngl rn i really want them to keep the scoring system this way. Am I the only one? |
| only if it's expanded to allow the full emoji consortium to be used as ratings |
 |
| I agree 100% on this. The poop emoji beside Death Parade was something I unknowingly needed my whole life. |
SomeGuyWithHair said: No, I can't live with whole numbers. I need decimals in my life. Sure you can't use it in rating stuff but it matters in overall scores. this, i totally fell for this prank, didnt realised today was april fools, was pissed |
| I wanted decimal scores for April Fools dammit |
| Nope. Emojis suck and they don't tell the full score. Like I want to know if the show is a 9 or 9.01 or etc |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| I rate a lot of things with 1s so the poop emoji would be the most appropriate for them. |
| also makes people who sweat the top of the leaderbaord find their purpose in life meaningless. should make this rating system a genuine way to rate. |
| Only if there's an option to change the layout for yourself, kinda like what AniList does |
 |
| I completely agree. I mean, 1,3,8,2 what are those huh? Have you ever heard of them? They are not even in wikihow. I mean, how am i suposed to know what they are. We should use the language we know. And lastly could anyone explain to me what is 69? |

| Please no...it'd be a completely unnecessary change and if this wasn't a joke it'd just be a sad attempt to pander to a younger generation. No different from the shitty emoji movie, just on a much smaller scale. I already can't take a lot of the reviews on here seriously, this wouldn't exactly help with that. |

JudoJD said: Myanimelist actually implementing something good into their trash rating system is an April Fool's joke. You love to see it. speaking facts my dude, completely agree |
| Let's keep it this way please, it helps people watch the more obscure animes. |

| I want the emoji to show up next to my score tbh. |
 |
| I'd prefer it to go back to decimal numbers. Not having them in front of me is making me very anxious, and it unallows overall scores to be more precise, like, it's just as if a show rated 7,03 and a show rated 7,87 ended up with the same score, it's confusing. Plus, the emojis don't really represent how I feel about each show... |
 |
| Completely agree. But I do need decimals. They should do something like "Medal point poop" for 8.1, which would be more funny than what it already is imo. |
 |
| no thanks! i hate it and want it gone at the earliest possible opportunity! :) |
| One solution regarding the decimal problem that I have in mind is to implement the abacus. That way, we'll be even stronger in mental mathematical calculations someday. |
 |
| I think we should change the decimal ratings to have 4 decimal places to have better accuracy, I think that 0.0001 potential difference in anime score will really help me decide whether to watch an anime over another one. |
| If you want different scoring systems go to a place like AniList. I browse shows here by their score and I don’t want to have to distinguish from a bunch of emojis |
 |
| God no, this is incredibly annoying. I thought April fools was supposed to be entertaining with tricks, not a genuine nuisance. |

xx_ibrahimd_xx said: It’s not bad but they should still keep the number rating beside when you press the anime, or they should make a settings system that allows you to switch between them. I don’t know if you noticed but on MAL 8.10 and 8.90 is a big difference, and emoji doesn’t give you that information. It’s still a pretty fun idea though... 💭 I have the same issue with it, really. I might be able to get used to the fact that we have emoji stand-ins for our own scores, but at the least, they should keep the mean scores in numbers. We frankly don't get enough information from just the emojis... although we can still access the number scores, all you have to do is select the region with the score, and the number is visible. Alternatively, just use Ctrl+A and look at the emoji, and you'll find the mean score there. I have no intention of using these emojis, as it took me long enough to get used to the number scale, and I'd rather not go through the trouble of mentally converting these new symbols into numbers again... but they should definitely leave the option in list settings for those who are interested. |
| i do not mind if it stays like this other MAL alternative sites like Kitsu do have some reaction scores system if i remember right |
xx_ibrahimd_xx said: You never know maybe this is only a temporary thing or they might add an option to change it back for users who want the number scale. Well, we got a confirmation of that. It seems that things will be going back soon, but the option to stick to emoji will remain in list settings. Kineta said: Happy April Fools! Thanks to everyone who forgot what time of year it was and got fooled by our prank for a few seconds again~ We hope it made you laugh once you figured it out. To the number of people who seemed legitimately concerned... April Fools is a tradition around MAL, something we've been doing for over a decade. Try not to take goofy site changes literally when they're posted around the first of April :'D Though of course I hope you'll forget this advice until after you're fooled again next year. Site will return to normal at 23:59 PDT. Enjoy it while it lasts. For List Designers: We'll look into keeping the score classes in the list design (empty) for your devious disposal. |
| I would certainly hope not. I prefer not to see emojis. |
| Nope. Can't tell whether an anime/manga is high *insert score* or low *insert score.* |

| It's just so damn gaudy and tacky. My list already looks like shit, I don't need it to look even shittier. An emoji here and there is fine, but this many is just obnoxious |
 |
| Please no. This is awful I have to highlight the stupid emote to see the actual score. |
| This rating system is the worst though. I want the accurate scores and i don't care about younger audience as they say. I hate using emojis. Thay should just go back. I can't choose my show which have same rating. Mal must be high to adapt this trash rating system. Just go back. |
 |
| Please no. My brain is not happy with the emojis, lol. I don't like it. |
  YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE |
| nah bro wtf, they should add 0.5 scoring systems instead |
     |
| They shouldve allowed us to choose which one we want in our settings, that wouldve solved this whole problem so nicely |
| Yes, especially the 1 score. It brings me immense satisfaction and joy to leave a shit on Boruto. |
 |
| How will we know if a show is 8.9 or just a bland boring 8? |
| If they do keep it, it should be an option, as in, those who prefer the emojis can leave them on and those who prefer scores can turn on scores. |
