| When I just casually look for more shows to watch, I'll sometimes click on users and browse through their favorites to find something that looks good. But then I notice the person has a mean score of 2-4 with over 500 animes completed. Do you think that it's a bit ridiculous for people to straight up hate basically everything they watch too the point where they nitpick and tear into anime just because? I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I just don't see the point in watching anime if you're just gonna trash every anime you have watched. Like seeing 1's or 2's on all their completed anime, where you will rarely ever see a show rated above a 5. I think that's nitpicking too an extreme level and being a hardcore elitist. Then again it's just my opinion and not everyone is gonna agree with me which is totally okay. |

| inb4 hate on OP for making another score related thread cuz they're all elitists duHHHHhh |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Goddammit we just had this thread Why do you even care, why shouldn't they be able to be here, what are they doing wrong, stop trying to control the opinions other people have because threads like this always reek of bogus ass attempts at creating external pressures on people who have a mean score you don't like Let them do their thing, it's a non-issue dammit xP |
 |
| Every time I check someone who gave a bad review, I also notice that they gave most shows a 4 or 5, and honestly I just learned to not care what their scores are, but rather leave it up to my own judgement. I rarely rate shows lower than a 6, I think I may have rated one show either a 5 or 6, but other than that, mostly 7's, 8's, and 9's. |

| They just have a shitty or weird scoring system. Some people don't score by enjoyment at all, but unless they're ridiculously harsh or just terrible at picking shows to watch you'd expect a mean of at least around 5 if they're using the whole scale. Basically no one actually hates most of the anime they watch, despite what the scores may imply to you. |
| That's just trolling. Even if you are a massive elitist your score should range from 5 to 7. |
| I never lie on the internet. What's the point of it... the chinese noodles ad is an anime and avatar isn't! triggered Check out my taste and my profile. |

Basically no one actually hates most of the anime they watch, despite what the scores may imply to you. I've read a lot of low-rated reviews, there are people who've sat through over 20 episodes of several animes and have ended up giving them low enjoyment ratings specifically. Those kind of people exist, whether they actually didn't enjoy the anime, or are just lying about their enjoyment level is a mystery. Maybe the enjoyment of having completed an anime and being able to write a review about it outweighs the unpleasantness they have to deal with while watching it? |
| They have a different scoring system just like an anilist where you can score with emojis or with a 1-100 scale. Just get over it |
    |
| I'm all for using the whole scale, but I think having a mean between 2-4 is usually pretty ridiculous or it's a sign that someone has a very specific taste and that he won't appreciate most stuff that doesn't align with it, just don't take it too seriously. fuck this topic btw |

Yeah, there's always going to be some people like that. There are reasons to watch shows you don't enjoy for sure. Not being enjoyable doesn't necessarily mean a show is boring, some people just like to complete what they start or force themselves to finish a show they hate to avoid complaints of "you didn't even finish it." |
| The more anime you watch, the more your standarts rise. Simple as that |

| Maybe they have a different evaluation system than MAL. Although it is true that this harms the Anime score |
| Omg another one. Why does it matter? What everyone else decides to watch and what they decide to rate stuff has no effect on you. |

Just stop watching if it's so bad. |

| Why are so many new users here unable to perform even the most basic search functions to realize that this question has already been asked and answered a million times? I guess some mysteries are not meant to be solved. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Oh shit, here we go again.......... |
Edocchi said: Oh shit, here we go again.......... Hey look, this thread is about you, mister 4.40 mean score. |
|
| I have no idea why people even care about other people's scores. Not to mention quality matters more than quantity, so people are willing to wade through trash to find hidden gems. But seriously, just let people do what they want. It's none of your business anyway. |

| OP you must go outside and make some friends. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
Nurguburu said: OP you should go out and make some friends. Friends cut into valuable time better spent on watching shitty anime |
|
| Yeah, I think it's stupid. I can understand if people don't like the anime they watch, because some animes simply suck balls. However, trashing on every single anime you watch shows that you have zero brain cells, as a normal person would switch to a different genre/type of anime or a different form of entertainment by now. There's no point in wasting time searching for an anime that won't ever satisfy you. Either rethink your standards or stop jumping from anime to anime will nilly and actually take some time to search, read reviews, and look at in-depth recommendations. Yeah, I'll admit these reocurring threads tend to get on my nerves. This type of thing just gets way too annoying. |
| I don't get why some people are getting so salty about this question being asked. I apologize for not ever checking forums daily to have seen this question has been asked before. However, I won't apologize for having an opinion and being not so closed minded as many people are. While it isn't my business what people do, I just felt that I should start a topic about it. |

paintingneko1990 said: my rating system for story 2-3 points charactere 2 points predictability -1 point or a good plot twist + 1 point animation 2 points music 2 points according to my rating system on example angel beats 4 points the story had not touched me.i did not like protagonists, the story was so predictable.only for music and animation i can give 2 points each. sorry my english is not very good. Yeah, your rating system is actually pretty good. Even though you disliked the story and characters enough to drop it, you still gave it a 4. That's pretty fair judgement and I respect that. |

There's a forum search function: https://myanimelist.net/forum/search It's recommended that you check it before making a thread to see if the topic has been covered before (https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=516059). There's nothing wrong with asking a question but if you could easily have it answered by checking past threads instead of making a new one of course people are going to be salty, particularly with this question as it's asked regularly. |
| it's just because a lot of anime is bad |

| This threads just don't stop coming and they don't stop coming.... |
 |
| Imagine unironically liking anime. Weaboos smh |
 What's the difference? |
| People shouldn't waste so much of their time on shows they consider bad or mediocre, Having a low mean score just shows that you spend most of your time watching stuff you hate more than you like |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| its understandable if they seen like 1000+ anime already (1000 is the common sample size in polls/survey/statistics that is considered reliable) because as they say 90% of everything is trash (Sturgeons Law) and overall MAL global mean score is close to 7 or 6.79 to be exact, source https://anime.plus/s/globals |
VengefulAura said: Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't hate and in fact actually like much of what I've watched.Why is it that so many people on here seem to just hate every single anime they watch? |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Omg get over it bruh.... its not that deep |
| Because more than 90% of anime that comes out each season is bad. If you are looking for a series that has a minimum quality or offers something different and you are not selective, it is normal to have a low score. |
| Well i like to criticise and i can enjoyed something i think is bad One Punch Man 2nd Season is horribly wrong in every way, but its kind of funny =P . I like to see it stupid ass try and fail every week , and it makes me laugh Juts because i find a media having a low quality don't mean that i hate it. Now my mean score is not that low 7.7 But i do watch some anime that i think is bad but I still kind of enjoys them |

| Your topic does not feel like just an opinion piece. If you were asking why people do this and what others thoughts are of it, then yeah sure, it'd just be a harmless opinion topic (despite this topic being made like every couple days). The problem is you called the way some people watch anime ridiculous and pointless. How is that open-minded? It doesn't seem like you were asking for the reason they do so, it felt more like you wanted to tell people you didn't like how some people do things. It's not about your opinion, but how you presented it. |
