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. |

I don't know about others but, I only watch stuff that I like, I don't torcher myself to watch the whole thing. I'll just drop it, that's why I have a high mean score. Also when I pick up a show I research a lot before I start watching, it's a bit exhausting but I've gotten used to in and it's worth the effort. |

My rating goes: 1. Animu that I watch on repeat 2. Animu that I love 3. Animu that I can tolerate 4. Animu that I feel guilty watching 5. Animu that I sleep to Never really hated a series, never really had a streak of really bad anime but everyone is different. :3 |

We're building up to the final thread of the series, "MAL Low Scorers Endgame: Half of you are going to disappear". You have to sit through a few filler threads before that. Every time I see the rating of Dororo going down, I take a deep breath and repeat 10 times, "Ratings don't matter." I'm sure this technique will help a lot of you out there. |

I genuinely asked why people who rate that low continue watching anime, and I got different answers , it was like an AMA, overall satisfied and found out that most of them were not trolling with their scores , whereas OP here is giving his opinion on those people , So nope, not a remake of my thread |

Manaban said: It is in a issue for small unpopular shows, I have found some shows to be pretty decent, but most reviews you find are about how unoriginal they are or bs like that. If you do not like something, you do not have to sit through it. or the hate shows like SAO, after the first season, why there are some people watching just to hate on it, just leave it if it's not your thing.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 |

Just like how people should let others do what they want, let people make whatever threads they want. Lets be real here. I've been in this forum for almost 6 years now and a lot of discussions here in AD are repetitive as fuck. If you don't like to participate in such topics, then don't. |

since the points of the OP have been adressed i'll just leave my two cents here that while this site has a average mean score of all the users who gave a score to a show, in the end what matters is that its called MYanimelist. so no matter what standards they use for scoring or for whatever reason they continue to watch shows they dislike i'll just accept that people have their own free will to do what they want with their lifes. it might seem pointless to some. however keep in mind that not everyone has the same reasons as you do when they watch something new. I myself like to watch as many and varied shows as possible, because there's the possibility that they might actually be entertaining to me. even if more often than not they end up as duds or dissapointments. so to sum up what i said just learn to accept that people have different standards and opinions and move on. |

Because people transcend their basic, normie tastes. I mean, I don’t think an anime fan exists that hates EVERYTHING they watch, then they wouldn’t actually be a fan of the medium (& wouldn’t even bother discussing it). The people who don’t actually respect Japanese animation are the people who refuse to rate anything critically & only rate their favorite shows a 10/10, without recognizing the flaws of each respective series. |

A lot of people rate anime low because of nit picking. They disregard the good things the anime achieves and rate it a medium score just because it has tiny mistakes. You can tell who these people are by seeing that their averaging score is about 7. |

What surprises me most is that 49 people have rated "No" , man if you're really gonna trash on every single anime why tf are you even watching it? It's just like someone who'll come to you and hate every single thing you bring for lunch but would still eat a lot from your box |

I think it's strange, but what I think to them it doesn't matter, so I don't really care. I don't normally let other people's scores on anime affect my own thoughts and opinions on anime. If I like it, I like it. End of story. |

Animxee said: 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. what people don't get about this generally are that your scores are not only a rating, but a ranking using more of the breadth of your scale gives more nuance to which shows you like more or less i think these lukewarm "6-10" opinions are really, unbelievably boring |

My mean score is 6.92 as of now.. Where does this put me? :D Anyways, it really is a difference in views and opinions, but I do agree that it's kind of ridiculous to do that. But I think that most anime fail to meet eveyone's expectations; and sometimes, even if you enjoy the show overall, if the ending doesn't meet your expectations, you find yourself condemning the whole show, and no one has the right to blame you for that. |

My mean score is around three or four if converted into MAL's rating system, and I can say to you about why I hate almost every series that I watch is because I am a masochist and I love to torture myself with bad anime, yay. Any more questions? |
May 18, 2019 10:38 AM
#72
I don't know, I enjoy most anime I've seen, despite what it may look like. I enjoy campy series, and all related to that. I sound like a broken recorder at this point, so I'll keep it simple, MAN I LOVE WATCHING BAD ANIME. |

WHY ARE THERE TWO OF THESE THREADS THIS WEEK?! FUCKING WHY?! LET THIS THREAD DIE ALREADY! FUCK! (Also practically no one like that exists outside of Krunchyman and his 1-5 scale, as most of the people accused of this are the most passionate anime fags on MAL and they still tend to give a large number of shows they like or love, including shows they find trashy. Plus, some people are borderline masochistic in their viewing experience. This has, and will always be the answer.) |

Muh "why can't everyone just rate anime the same way I do?" opinion. Just because someone rates low that doesn't mean they hate everything they watch. Besides, if that's what they get enjoyment from why do you have to judge them for it? Everyone watches anime in different ways. It's a versatile medium and people have every right to watch anime and rate it however they feel like. |

Just using the full score system, I meant 5 is like normal, average. So people rated a show 5 doesnt mean they hate it. |
May 18, 2019 12:33 PM
#76
I learned not to check too much because usually anime that aren't high in ranking tend to become my favorites ahahah! I also think that because there are so much anime it's normal to have anime that you didn't enjoy were you cannot give a rating higher than 3, so if you saw like 500 anime it's kinda normal that there's trash in that list imho. It's a question of personal taste. Maybe something were I gave a 10 for someone else is like a 2. |

Sai-B said: Yes, drop shit if you don't enjoy it, otherwise you're just wasting your time. Platypus7 said: 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. 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? Who are you to tell people they are wasting their time? |

because the more anime you watch, the higher your expectations and standards are. While some of course are just elitists, others it comes naturally. |
May 19, 2019 3:47 AM

They simply cant stand the idea of the expectation being outdone.Or think they are cool for hating something. I am from the old school and yet I dont mindlessly hate modern anime. |

If they think the anime is bad of course they will talk bad about it. Different people have different standard. |

This has gotta be the worst thread trope on this website. It looks like I rate things harsher than most people because unlike most people who consider "7" to be average, I consider "5" to be average. Other people may rate things harsher than me for a similar reason or for a different reason. Ultimately it dosn't impact your viewing experience at all and says nothing about them as a person, so why are you hyperfocusing on it? |

We have our own reasons. I prefer this instead of undeserved praise. |
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. |

Everyone has a different rating system. I've consumed a lot of entertainment, and, in my opinion, have seen quite a few stories set a high bar in certain areas that other stories haven't reached, so that makes most stories I've consumed a 5 or a 6. I will still watch a 4 or sometimes a 3 as long as they are still enjoyable. If they are so unenjoyable that I don't want to continue watching, I'm going to give it a 2 or a 1. Because I know what I want to watch and can tell in 90% of cases whether or not I will enjoy something when I see it, I don't go out of my way to spend my time consuming actively bad stories I won't enjoy. Thus, why my mean is a 5.8 on MAL and a 6.5 on IMDB. |
