| After clearing abit of my onhold collection and rescoring some of watched shows i asked myself if i should score dropped anime. I would appreciate if someone could answer some questions about this topic: -Did u score the same way dropped anime as u score completed? -Do the dropped score counts in to the general average score? -Should i score a anime with i dropped after watching 1-3 episodes? I appreciate everyone who took they time to check and answer this topic. English is not my first language so i use mostly basic english sorry if is bad explained or hard to understand :( |

| I don't think a score should be given to any anime not finished. You can't rate the totality of an experience without getting the entire experience. |
| As I understand it, dropped scores only count if you've watched a certain proportion of the series. I believe it's something like 1/5th of a series for your score to count. So something like 3 episodes for 12 episode series. As for whether you should rate it, I believe that's up to personal preference. Personally, I don't think you can judge a work without having seen it in its entirety but hey, your list, your rules. |
| If you haven't finished an anime, you shouldn't rate it. An anime can have a slow start and a very strong middle and end - Steins;Gate If everyone dropped and rated Steins;Gate poorly because they were bored on first few episodes, it wouldn't have a rating as high as it does. |

| I don't drop anime, so I can't relate. But if in an alternative universe where I did do such a thing, then I'd give ratings to shows that I've seen and dropped. Even if it were 1 or 2 episodes in, it probably wouldn't be counted as I'd require 1/5 the total number of episodes. I'd like to remind myself as to why I drop a show as well. If it's 5 or lower, then I know it's bad, but if it's higher, then I'd probably say it's because I'm not motivated to watch a show, and I'd maybe give it another go sometime in the future. |

| Rate however you want lol. If you don't feel comfortable rating a show you didn't finish, don't see why you would force yourself. I rate dropped anime based on the experience I had with it: limited or not. Because that's what makes sense for me. |

You experienced the full length and then gave it a rating on it as a whole instead of giving it a rating for the first few episodes. |

| Do you have to eat all the food on your plate to rate the food? >:) |

| I think if you drop a series, you've grasped the scope of your relationship with it and how much you will potentially enjoy it and determined it's not enough to justify your time investment. Basically I would encourage everyone to rate their dropped series. Unfortunately, I think MAL only factors you score into its stats if you've completed at least 1/5th of the respective series (e.g. 3 episodes out of a 12 episode anime). It might just be a way to limit the amount of data MAL has to deal with, but I think we would see more accurate average scores since people who dropped a show early are more likely to give lower scores than those who completed it or just stuck with it for longer. |

| Not necessary, but just do what you like. Nothing stops you from rating dropped anime, you have every right to do that. if you ask me personally, yes you should rate every anime you have watched, doesnt matter if you finish it or not :) |

I've never regretted dropping a series. If an anime is obviously bad early on, it almost never gets better. Even so, if average scores were weighted by number of episodes the scorer had watched (as I believe they are with respect to length on average list score) then the droppers wouldn't have nearly as high an impact as you're suggesting. Also, Steins;Gate took five minutes to convince me it was great. I'm curious what exactly you found appealing about the rest of the show if you were bored by the beginning. |

| I don't think it's "necessary" but it also depends on the context as well as how much of the series the person has seen + what the person actually thought of it. For example, if someone dropped one piece at episode 5 they might not want to give it a proper rating since they don't think they've seen enough to judge it. If someone drops a 12 episode seasonal at episode 5, they are much more inclined to want to give it a rating since they've seen almost 50% of the season and they are able to gauge it better |
 |
| i also follow the rule of not rating the stuff i dropped. it doesn't feel right to rate something i didn't finish. |
| I don't rate dropped series, not that it really matters tho. |
Lmao that's a bad analogy. ......... |
| One Piece is the Greatest Shounen. |
| If an anime is still can't hit me after 15 episode and keeps bore me it deserve 6 clearly |

| I do rate stuff I drop, I rate it based on how I enjoyed it from what I've seen so far, planning to go no drop policy soon so it won't matter anyways. |

no it is a good analogy why is it a bad analogy kek |
| |
| the site gives me the option, and I take it |
| I'm neutral about it, but I don't rate my drops because I can't use my full 1-10 scale for them. It just doesn't make sense for me to have a chunk of my list with nothing but 4s or less in it. Would make for a monotonous and boring look. |

English is not my first language so i use mostly basic english sorry if is bad explained or hard to understand :( Scoring is a tool for enhancing your viewing experience by analysing what you enjoy and not enjoy, therefore you should decide whether eating dropped shows help understand, analyze, enjoy the show better or helps you finding better shows |
| Yes I do rate dropped anime. If I've watched something that means I've spent my time doing it and thus I need to express what I think of it via ratings |
| I scored Fairy Tail when I dropped it to chapter 140. Anyway, there were only about 40 chapters left and I could wait for what's next. |
| Wow. Thanks for all the time and effort it really helps with finding the answer! Just completed reading all the different opinions and takes. I figure out that I'm gonna rate some dropped series depending on the episodes size, construction of the show, genres that it contains and most important on how much I watched it and enjoyed at the time. In near future prob. gonna give another try to some shows and re-rate them. @faylres @BlakexEkalb Thanks for the kind words it really helps with gaining confidence. I'm almost fully self learned my English by listening and forcing my eyes to seeing it while playing or reading any staff. Now I can watch almost every anime or keep a understandable voice conversation but typing still is quite difficult I use alot of google to correctly type the word still creating correct sentences its pretty hard. But reading 1-3 times my text before sending a longer message helps to fix most errors! @BlakexEkalb Thanks for the corrections, I just try to make it as must possibly understandable in my ability! Gonna be hard to get used to the correct order in the creation of sentences but I will give my best! Again much thanks to all who get involved and take their time! |

| I don’t see anything wrong w this. A show can wrap up an arc in the middle of the series and I can gather my thoughts on the show at that point. |
   |
| I personally only rate shows I completed, except long running. So no, I don't |

| I delete any dropped show from my list, I just don't wanna see it in there, the rating is 1/10 |
    |
| I don't rate it, because I don't even want to think about the show anymore, and what score it deserves in my personal scale considering I didn't even finish it, etc, etc.. So I prefer not to score at all. But you can if it's something you'd like to do, for any personal reasons or just for fun. |
 |
| -Did u score the same way dropped anime as u score completed? Yes. I consider my scores absolute, irrespective of what state the show is in. -Do the dropped score counts in to the general average score? Don't know or care. It's just a number. -Should I score a anime I dropped after watching 1-3 episodes? Whatever you want. I score at the point I drop, whether that be 1 episode in or halfway through. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Generally I don't drop series, I keep watching to get the whole idea the director and writer wanted to deliver through their project. But if I ever dropped a series I don't think I would rate it.. I don't rate watching series till ending them so as a never completed series I don't think it should be rated. |
| You should rate shows however you like, remember it's your list and no one can tell you what to do with it. If it's useful anyway, I'll tell you what I do. I only score dropped anime if I've watched 3 or more episodes of it; mainly because I don't think that I can accurately rate a show based solely on the first couple of episodes (although this doesn't mean that I can't decide the show is bad and don't want to waste my time on it), but also because I don't want shitty shows that I only watched 1 or 2 episodes of before realizing my mistake tanking my average score. This is coming from the sort of person that only rates shows he's watching once he's finished watching them, so that might help when thinking about if this method is for you. Then again, I've only dropped 7 anime up until now, there might be a show that comes along and makes me change my perspective. As for your other questions, many people have already answered about the 1/5th rule; and yeah, I do score the same way as with completed shows. Anime is anime, after all. Hope this helped! |
| Yes, i think so .. if you watched at least 3 episodes ... if not, is kind of unfair right ??? Why rated something that you only watched 2 or even worse, one episode of it , make no sense . For me the rule is : at least 3 for a 12 episode anime 7 for a 24 or + And 10 for long runners . But thats a reach also, the bare minimun is 3... thats the number for any anime tho |
| the anime has to be pretty bad for me to drop so I usually give it a low rating to take my rage out on it for giving me an unpleasant time |

| I rate dropped to remind myself how much I hated the series. I changed once from 1/10 to PTW though. Because a sequel was highly rated. I usually trust MAL ratings of anime in the top 1000. It gets out of control above that. Nobody can stop you, even if you play with ratings on just one account. As long as you think you're fine, you can do however you want. Otherwise, I had to send all people that gave 1/10 to some series into some unpleasant isekai. |

| I think it's only fair to rate it after you've finished. But rating it based on what you saw is fully acceptable as well. However yeah, don't rate an anime you dropped after one episode, that's not fair at all. Give it a couple chances at least; maybe till episode 3 or something |
