| I've seen countless MAL users who generally score everything they watch low. Yet they still continue to watch anime regardless. What's the point of investing your time in a medium you hate? I'm not talking about troll accounts either, there are genuinely people that do this unironically. It just seems so bizarre to me. Do they get some sort of satisfaction out of it or what? |

| I don't see anything conflicting between enjoying anime in general and having a low mean score (for example). |
Maybe try sleeping? |

| If I hate some anime I still will try to finish it ... Not sure why ... Maybe a sense of completionism or there are anime that are so bad that they are good ( I will still rate them low ) ... But it will take me a lot more time finish them So not sure about people that have a mean score of 2 or 3 |

| Some people rate everything below a certain threshold of enjoyment/quality 1/10 so they have more scores to differentiate between shows they like more. You can't assume that there is always a linear relationship between enjoyment and scores. |

| The typical answers (not mine, since I don't have a mean score of 2 or 3) to this question are: - Digging through the mud to find gems is worth it - I enjoy even my 2s and 3s, they're just worse in terms of plot/animation/characters/sound/enjoyment/etc. than my 4s and 5s, and so on |

| There's no industry that produces mostly good things for everyone. Everyone has their preferences and tastes, so the logical conclusion is that, the more anime you watch, the lower your mean score becomes. The more dedicated you're into anime, the more bad shows you watch, and this makes absolute sense. Imagine having watched 90% of the shows you'd love, and trying to find something new to love while also watching what's popular, what your friends like or what you're curious to watch for some reason. That's how my mean score decreases as time passes by. Imagine watching double the amount of anime you've watched, well, your primary choices would definitely make better results than your later ones. You'd pick shows you're not as hyped with as you were with the ones you chose first. |

For expamle, exArm was so stupid and bad I actually enjoyed it because how rediculas it was :D . So, if I rate shows solely the enjoyment scale, it should get an 8. But does it deserve 8? No. |

No. A show being laughably bad doesn't make it enjoyable. While watching a show like ex-arm you aren't enjoying the actual show, you're enjoying laughing at how bad it is. It is completely different from what I was referring to. And if I have a guilty pleasure, a show I think is good regardless of the general consensus being different, I will undoubtably rate it high. And analytical reviews are bullshit, if you don't enjoy sth, you're not going to acknowledge its good parts, you can try as hard as you want. |

| Scores on MAL really mean nothing, I know a handful of people who only use 1 as a bad rating and everything above as a positive rating, so rating something a 4 is actually good in their score system. I'm pretty sure there is very few people who watch anime and don't enjoy it, then they either hate themselves or watch it only for their friends. Also many people don't rate how much they enjoyed it but more subjective. They might have loved the anime but thought the animation and music were bad so they rated it low. |

| My mean score is a 4.66 because I pretty much drop on the spot anything I don't enjoy, and I rate everything relatively, both of which make it so that I never watch anything I would otherwise give a low score, and I have to make room within the higher scores for my absolute favorites. I try to make the highest use of my rating scale. This is why my average is a 3/10. >Rating systems not based on enjoyment are pretentious and monotonous. Just because you enjoy it doesn't mean it can teach you, make you think and change your worldviews. I will enjoy a visit to a whorehouse far more than I will enjoy one that is to a doctor. Which one will be more beneficial? Or more accurately, the whorehouse would make my brain release more dopamine than something like Eiffel Tower, but Eiffel Tower will obviously be far more memorable. (I am speaking hypothetically, Paris is probably overrated) With the right approach you can honestly enjoy anything that you want to. I can enjoy everything I watch. |

| I don't avoid watching bad shows. In fact I actually find joys in them. Firstly, seeing them fuck themselves up helps me appreciate what good shows do well. Secondly, dissecting boring content is a form of entertainment itself! Needless to say, this mindset precipitates a low mean score. |

| Some people concern themselves with having valid scores around others or scores that are likely to reflect other people's experiences when it comes to watching certain anime. But I think it just takes away a person's ability to form their own opinions. It should be common knowledge to anyone that a person's sentiments towards a show should be taken with a grain of salt. But nevertheless, people concern themselves with other people's level of criticism because they're either too afraid of disappointment or they lack the motivation to form their own opinions and rather live through other people's experiences. |

| I don't rate everything low and if I want to hate anything I should have a proper knowledge about it. Simply hating an anime just because it is being hated in the forums doesn't make me a critic. You can find many pseudo elitists who just follow the trend of elitism without having any critical points to prove why something is good or bad. |

| I don't get it. Why do people have a problem with taking something more seriously by giving something a lower score when it's perfectly justified? Do you have to give something a high score to avoid being judged for giving it a low one because that means "you don't like anime"? It doesn't mean there wasn't any entertainment or accomplishment that came out of the experience altogether |
Jun 20, 2022 5:34 PM

| I don't do that, as soon as I hate the anime I would just drop it asap. Some people just have "no-drop" policy for whatever reason I dont know. Others of them are just critics. Guess they just have nothing better to do. |

| My mean score is around 6 for both mediums. But I've seen people with like 2 and 3, and I don't really get it either. I haven't watched/ read as much as other people. But a rule of mine is to never drop anything, regardless of how much I hate it. So maybe that's why? Some people just watch A LOT of anime and never drop anything. I think that might be a part of the reason. That or they are just really harsh when it comes to rating something. Love your name btw. |

| (Very) low mean score doesn't necessarily always mean "hating anime", neither that the user with it forced him or herself to complete countless anime he or she never really liked. You can't just straight out jump to sweeping conclusions only based on a single number without trying to understand all the context surrounding it. |

| I'm always highly amused when I see someone with a mean score below 5, because 5 literally MEANS "average". If you've watched 800 shows and your average is "very bad" instead of, well, "average", something is wrong 😂 I can understand averages above 5 because most people don't rate shows they dropped, so it makes sense that the negative counterweight to the stuff they enjoyed is missing. But no sane person watches ONLY stuff they hate and drops everything they enjoy, so... |

If you give everything a low score I have to question if you even like the medium anymore. There is absolutely no point in experiencing a medium you don't like. |

If you only enjoyed a part of every anime you watch then yeah there's definitely a problem. I'm not talking about people who generally have scored a lot of anime lower. I'm talking about the ones who only watch anime to pretend they are critics. 5 is the average score, if your mean score goes below that, then it just means you think anime is bad overall. Your score reflects your enjoyment. |
