Attack on Titan
| I remember this was at 1st place some time before the last episode came out, and now it's in 3rd. I really don't see why this happened, because, generally, when an anime ends airing, the ratings go higher, since there are many people who only give a score to the anime after seeing it in its totallity, and if they are watching it until the end, it's because they are liking it, so they will give a good score. Another thing I noticed is that for an anime with an average score of 9.10, it has a really high percentage of 1 in the scores (2.5%), which is much higher than the other low scores: 2 (0.1%), 3 (0.1%), 4 (0.3%), 5 (0.5%) and even 6 (1.3%). In fact, they are less even if you combine all of them together (2.3%). The same thing happened with Season 3 Part 2, and it's not particularly because people didn't like the end of it. I know rating is not that important, but for new people who are comming to anime, the ratings can be a good way to find good anime! I think this is a case of sabotaging the score of an anime, and I find it kind of unfair, but oh well. What do you think about this? Edit: forgot to mention that more than half of the user (51%) gave this season a score of 10. |

Since the overall rating is higher than 9, any vote that is not 10 will lower the score. If you didn’t know, the total increase of 7-9 votes are more or less 2x the increase of 10. If that’s sabotage then the aot fans are sabotaging themselves for not giving it a 10. Finally, someone smart around here. |
| The only way for the rating to go higher is if a lot of people rated it a 10 when it finished. Yes, most animes do rise up when they finish. But thats only animes atleast under 9. A lot of people were disappointed with season 4 and rated it an 8 or below. Even if someone rated it an 8 the score would still fall. Even people who enjoyed(such as myself) didn't rate it a 10. Basically, not everyone rated this a 10, so the score is falling. |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |

| 1.Well it’s likely the haters who’ve been wanting to give aot a 1 score but waitier until after it’s finished So they’re opinion could seem more valid. 2.Another reason could be aot fans themselves who didn’t like this season for various reasons mostly because of mappa and decided to downvote it and place the season before it higher. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that season 3 part 2 which was in 10th place is suddenly 2nd place. 3.scores don’t get higher after the series is finished it’s usually the opposite actually. 4.Most people score after the series is finished so i didn’t expect it to stay up there when most of the people giving it a 10 when it was airing weren’t really the most sincerest or least biased. |

| The Score is decreasing like others said because some people changed their score from a 10 to another lower score. To be honest this season wasn't that great and it was way to high to begin with because of bots giving it a 10 from the start. Yes bots did also help lower the score of this season too but it's justified because AoT fans did the same to other anime. |
| Firstly, why should you even care about ratings on a database website? Not like it will affect your enjoyment at all. Most of the 1s and 10s (or whatever bots have rated) do not affect the total score at all. this problem was fixed last year. also, please note that if the score should increase, people must rate it a 10, as if they rate it a 9 or 8 or 7, it will only lower the average. and you know just as well as I do that not everybody regards AOT, especially the fourth season, as a 10/10. |
| People are mad that attack on titan has a higher rating than their favorite show. That's my interpretation. Many are just downvoting it to bring it below what they think is a better show or whatever. This score war is really getting lame. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| it's simple. percentage of 10's went from almost 57 to 51. anyone still crying about other fandoms downvoting, get a life. bots are not counted to the score. |

Why are people still talking about bots? If I rate AoT 10 and FMAB 1, my vote would count because I'm not a bot lol. If many people do this, the rating decreases. It's not just bots, it's fandoms. And that's the reason why FMAB is decreasing now, and AoT S3P2 (not long time ago) and S4 (when it passed FMAB) decreased. Anyway, S4P1 is decreasing now because of the 7s, 8s and 9s. No other reason other than that. some of the 10s and 1s are bots that appear in stats but are not counted in the weighted score, that's all i meant by it. score is going down, because like you said, people are giving it 9/8/7/etc ratings. some users are just too entitled to accept that someone would give it anything other than a 10. |

| My faith in the taste of anime community is restored. Season 2 P.2 is the better season, the peak moment of AoT to the date. As fair it is, that season is still the best rated one. Justice got served. |

Roger1 said: Thank god other people on MAL can think. Blind AOT fans think FMAB fans are nuking the scores even though the amount of 7-9s have drastically increased pots episode 16.Another one hahaha It’s mostly because people are voting it 7-9s now that it’s completed. Some are even changing their scores from 10 to 7-9s. Since the overall rating is higher than 9, any vote that is not 10 will lower the score. If you didn’t know, the total increase of 7-9 votes are more or less 2x the increase of 10. If that’s sabotage then the aot fans are sabotaging themselves for not giving it a 10. |

ManWild said: I don't think a 9.20 to a 9.10 in less than 6 days is natural for a series of this caliber. I've never seen an acclaimed anime go down .1 in a week because people just naturally decided to give it lower scores. One look at the stats makes it obvious what's going on. Watching FMA freaks downvote other shows is like watching a fat guy who was a gold medal runner hit better runners in the leg with a lead pipe and then say "You're not as fast as I once was!"Just natural drop over time.

| Wohh, it seems like the opinions are very diverged about this xD I forgot to mention in the original post, but I do know that anything less than a 10 lowers the score, but even so, I tought the majority of the fans liked it more, because plot twists, and therefore would give really high rankings. But it seems like there are a lot of people who didn't like this season tha much. Personally, when I give an anime a score, I usually give a anime the same score throughout all of the seasons, unless there is a particular season that was really worse/better (*cough* One Punch Man season 2 *cough*). But seeing people lower the score just because they liked the 3rd Season Part 2 better makes me wonder if they really think this season was weak, or just don't want to give it a 10, just not to be equal to the Part 2 of Season 3, because you can give 2 anime the same score, but you may prefer one over the other. Also, a 10 doesn't necesserally mean the anime is perfect (it can be a 9.5). But thank you for all the replies! It was nice to see the opinion of all of you! I do agree it was wrong of my part to assume that everyone that was watching would give it a 10. However, someone was saying that some of the 1s and 10s don't count, because they are from bots, but if so, why would they even appear in the stats? That doesn't make sense. Stats are supposed to show the score given to the anime by the users, and therefore should reflect real data. |
Roger1 said: Well if what you said above is true, there might be a reasonable explanation somewhere along the way. But if you just take the stats page at face value, Final Season has a higher percentage of 10's and a lower percentage of 7-9's than S3P2 AND FMAB. If FMAB is a 9.18 with a lower percentage of 1's, I'm not seeing how it's possible for AoT to be at 9.10 without that large block of 1/10 votes playing a crucial role.Bayek said: I don't think a 9.20 to a 9.10 in less than 6 days is natural for a series of this caliber.

It actually makes sense. Since it’s the most popular anime right now, more people rated it within a week compared to other anime. Also as I said, since the rating is higher than 9, ANY score that is not 10 will decrease the total. Only the top 10 anime in MAL reached 9 so you can’t compare aot’s rating to others since if an anime doesn’t reach 9 then 9 votes will increase the total where in aot’s case even 9 will decrease it. Also, FMAB was 9.25 when I joined MAL. It was 9.22 before AoT started airing in December. A .04 drop in 4 months is nothing short of retaliation. |

Still, I'm not convinced that these ranks aren't the results of a score war.Bayek said: the stats page also includes bots, if you look at the score it says 9.10 455,338 users only those many votes are considered for the score and the remaning are considered as bots, and so s3p2 has more user votes than s4Well if what you said above is true, there might be a reasonable explanation somewhere along the way.
