The only answer I can give is a troll one. Maybe they use the opposite system with 1 being the highest. So technically, they are scoring the same as you Edit: OnionKnightRises said: Literally thought the exact same thingYour 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. |

| 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. |

Sayanora12 said: Oh! Is this the remake of the “MALers having a mean score of less than 5, what makes you keep watching anime”? Or a remaster of “Why do most people's mean score on MAL is low”? Or is this the new dlc of “Why do people with a low mean score not try to get some other hobbies or friends in real life?” This is getting kind of ridiculous at this point guys lol... Not at all!! 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 |
| They're god of MAL. How don't you know that, smh. |
| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 |

| It is fine to thrash anime? Yes. It is fine to trash every anime? I don't think so, that means that you are wasting time in something you don't enjoy... pretty dumb imo. I haven't seen much people with mean score lower than 4 tho... I think you are overreacting a bit there. |
 |
| 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. |
| Why do you even care OP? Are you going to force people to enjoy what they dislike? |

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. |
| 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.) |
| Being wrong is just an occupational hazard. Follow me on twitter. I have an anitube channel so feel free to check it out and subscribe if you like what you see. |
| 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. |
| Many people in online culture like to be negative. Their scoring system is skewed in interesting ways. It is difficult to believe people would battle through content that was (1-4) level of quality. |
 |
| I only watch anime, at this point, that I can safely assume to be in my field of interest, so I rarely start an anime I end up hating |
| First watch over 500 anime. You will see your mean score and you will know there's nothing wrong with it |
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? |

| If they think the anime is bad of course they will talk bad about it. Different people have different standard. |
| The act of criticizing and making fun of something can also be very enjoyable. |

| “The world is full of nice people. If you can't find one, be one.” ― Nishan Panwar 8=D ~ O: |
| 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? |

| most anime is dogshit. newfags will learn this fact in time. |
Mattinator95 said: xShinigami3125 said: I wrote a review for opm s2, go check it out. I don't even know what to score OP2 at this point but I probably wouldn't give it a 1 around 3-5 I'm constantly changing scores now and then I gave Dal 3 a 5 even tho it probably should be lower but they had like 2 good episodes where it wasn't as terrible as the others XD due to the outsourced stuido so there was at least a bit of effort . Considering how much I love opm, for me the answer of what to score it is quite clear |
| The amount of people I've seen that fit your description can be counted by hand. I don't think that having low scores or mean makes people elitist. |

| 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. |
| Imagine hating anime and still spending 100+ days of your life simply watching anime. No logic there whatsoever. |
| Probably because people tend to watch seasonal shows instead of seeking out shows they would likely enjoy. |
