Has signing up for MAL changed how you viewed some anime?

For me, yes.

I never thought people hated Citrus and Eromanga Sensei so much.

I finished Made in Abyss on the third try because of how loved it is and I had to appreciate the last few episodes.

i discovered some info about anime, sure I am surprised when people hate on my favs but that changes nothing. For example, I did not expect that Orihime would be disliked here, weird because she is just great, nothing can make me dislike my Orihime

I feel like I've gotten more critical but that might just because I've watched more and not because of MAL itself

I think it's had a subconscious effect on all of us; whether we like to admit it or not, other peoples' opinions do have some influence on us.

Agreed, anybody who dislikes Orihime has terrible taste in girls.

People like iva- and Fario-P have given me good reccomendations and we've both had really in-depth conversations about shojo/josei media and the stories that we look at as well.

So i'd say the people not mal helped shaped more of my tastes than so the site and its just a rating and ranking should never affect your enjoyment of media at all.

It made me realize that Hand Shakers was actually a bad show.

I actually enjoyed it when I initially watched it. But after reading the complaints regarding this anime, I had gotten very aware of its flaws, and it plummeted the enjoyment I got watching this anime.

Ok I'm pretty sure this is a joke, but since a bunch of people really do believe this, I'll use this as reference.

There is literally nothing wrong with being influenced by other people's views. The only thing that's wrong is people's stupid ass. I know it's better to deny it, especially online because you want to keep it cool. The best, most concrete opinions are formed after getting to know all sorts of different perspectives. Doesn't mean you'll have to be influenced, but there's also nothing wrong about that.

I did start watching anime a bit more critically whereas before MAL I only watched it casually for fun.



Why do you hate cats?

Not yet, but I'm waiting for it to happen for some anime... Apparently they have a very good score, but I just can't watch them.
Something tells me that I will never watch them anyway.

Not at all, it's just now I get to discuss them more in depth, while airing, etc.
Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.

No, My opinions are still same

Ecchi is softcore porn.
Shonen still the best.

Everything else is just fine.

I wasn’t aware of how much Seven Deadly Sins/Blue Exorcist were trashed on, even before SDS’s Season 3. I thought they were pretty damn good. I probably wouldn’t have discovered Ashita no Joe if it weren’t for MAL, so yeah it probably does influence what I watch. For my tastes no, anything ai is trash, harem/ecchi on occasion and shonen for life. I probably won’t enter an elitist phase, it makes people less approachable. And yeah, it’s always been that way.

Surprisingly, not at all. I was expecting it to, just didn't happen. Well, probably more accurate to say it hasn't happened yet.
