| As a veteran of anime you learn to ignore the scores and just watch that interests you. I do agree that giving a score after only watching a few episodes is a bit hasty, but that is the gaming and anime community for you. I doubt the top 10 highest rated anime will change anytime soon regardless of what releases or how good it may be. |

A lot of the shows now don't even have an episode three, what happened to the third episode rule? I know MAL scores don't matter to a lot of old watchers, but what about the new ones who don't know how to critique shows yet? They use the scores right now as a basis. A lot of potential for Ikebukuro of the West Gate Park, Kami-sama ni Matt's ni, and Noblesse but people will just ignore them since they have really low scores. That's the bummer about everyone having a certain level of individual freedom, isn't it? They can just do whatever they want. Lol. Sorry for the flippant opener there, chum, but I find the argument to be a silly one. If a show is actually good (or rather considered good) then that will be represented in the general consensus and it's score will reflect that over time. But score, well...score isn't everything. There's no such thing as a "3 episode rule" either. I drop a show when it ceases to entertain me or I arrive at the conclusion it is either dogshit or simply not for me. There is no arbitrary requirement on the number of episodes it takes me to arrive at my conclusion. The only exception I ever made to that was for "Death Note", sat through the whole bloody thing, and I've learned my lesson. Turns out that it's a great example of a show rated exceptionally well but that is in fact garbage, proving my earlier point about score not being everything. |

| how dared they? yeah, totally agree, you should rate an anime only after you write a detailed report on it and you have to score at least 75 points in order to pass. Anyone who wants to rate Evangelion, Noein and Rahxephon should send me the reports to analyse them, for I am an expert, all ecchi anime reports go to Manaban etc |

SuicideMaster said: Why do you even care about other people's scores? I think op already addressed that. A busy person with a job or a college student might not have all the time in the world to watch anime. So there is a convenient source called "score" to judge, if they wanna watch the anime or not. Can't believe people still call scores irrelevant. A high scoring anime has more chance of getting a good viewership. Hope you understand. |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |
| Who cares? If the show becomes good after a shitty first impression, the score will rise. Shows like ACCA 13 come to mind, which had below 7 after that boring first episode. |

Animaniaig said: "People stop having opinions that I disagree with. You can only say good things about what I like." Just accept people think the things you like suck and move on. That's not what op was talking about at all. You should read it again. Anyway, honestly, I never understood why people rate anime(or any show) without completing it unless it's a long, on-going anime. Speaking for myself, many anime tend to get worse or meh even if they had great starts and vice versa, so I don't really rate them until they are finished. But, you can't do anything about it. MAL has been like this for years. Some fans will rate anime adaptations very high just because they read the manga, some rely on the 1st ep impressions for some reason, others will just rate it higher for the sake of making the anime have high scores, etc. You just have to accept it tbh. |

I rate shows based on my MY level of entertainment. Ill tell you right now I gave Nobelesse a 5 because I found it to be just dull and there's no point in me continuing to watch it. |

| noooo people don't like shows i like and are being mean to them noooo |
| 3 episodes rule is stupid. It's really okay to rate anime after one episode, but it's not okay to drop every different type of anime only because of that stupid rule. |

I try and give every show I watch a fair chance, but if it doesn't grip me for whatever reason or commits some fairly heinous mistakes early on (for example, episodes 2 & 3 of Re:Creators are DIRE pieces of work because they are mostly static art/pointless background scenes with incredibly boring exposition dump voice over) then I'm gonna give it a subpar rating and drop it. This is because my time is finite and I'm not gonna waste 3 evenings getting through something that is shit just so I can "rate it in good conscience" on MAL for the benefit of Jimmy Rando who incidentally doesn't give a fuck what I think anyway. |

| U should not care about how other people rate their anime its their list they can rate however they want to i have seen many people who rate every show 2-3 in their list and they think they look very cool and different its just cringe Just watch it so u can determine if the show is good or bad yourself everyone has different tastes so there is a huge chance that u hate an anime someone enjoyed or the other way so no need to blame people for rating an anime low that they could not enjoy |

| well, changing scores are a great way to see people's immediate (live) reaction to anime. I think MAL write quarterly articles about score evolution of particular episodes. And the rating...? It doesn't matter for all I care. Its range is 5.8-9.1 in most cases, so every anime here is actually... good? |

I meant people who rate any show early with the intent of watching the whole thing. |
charliechuckle said: I hate HATE "slice of life" anime's. They are either stupid boring, or irrelevant; but they are all unfunny. For some reason, rental girlfriend had me watching all 12 episodes or whatever. The cringe moments had me laughing, but let's be honest. I hate the story, and the idea completely. I think the edgy humor is what I liked the most. I gave it a 10. I hope they don't come out with season 2. There is no way they can keep the humor and show interesting any longer. I agree. Hard to keep it up when the novelty factor already wears out. It's similar to how Madoka sequel was crap compared to the OG one when the shock factor is gone. |

| I agree with OP on this one, It's always both hilarious and infuriating to see a new show get a crap ton of tens, Check when it aired, And find out that people rated it a 10 on the information of one or two episodes, The score is marketed and presented as the score for the whole show, Not it's first quarter. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| I don´t think it´s that deep. But as an "old viewer" I can tell you they´ll learn to ignore scores with time. Still I don´t get why people rate shows so early, i only rate them after i finished them or if I dropped them after watching most of it. |

| People are rating every show these year too fast, or you're just slow. as if they only judge shows by it's synopsis rather than waiting for the shows to build their foundation. I judge by the first episode. thank you. first impression matters A lot of the shows now don't even have an episode three, what happened to the third episode rule? 1. not my rule. 2. why do you think it's something universal? also that's the episode you DROP the show on, it has nothing to do with rating. I know MAL scores don't matter to a lot of old watchers, but what about the new ones who don't know how to critique shows yet? They use the scores right now as a basis. they're doing it wrong if they refuse to think for themselves. A lot of potential for Ikebukuro of the West Gate Park, has a romance tag but only men are listed as characters. not falling for yaoibait. Kami-sama ni Natta ni, looks like a generic harem+sol Noblesse source is a korean webtoon. not touching it. question is, why do you think scores are final? the last episode makes it final for me, I'll change it around as I see fit until then. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
 I make my own rules and my score is gonna fluctuate as I keep watching it from Episode 1. Episode 1 might be a 4/10, Episode 7 might be an 8/10 and I will change it as fit. you can't control anybody else's decisions. Just your own reactions. I'm just gonna sit back and laugh doe |

| What's wrong with early rating? A few of my trusted friends do the same, so there's an early impression on how my peers like a show. They are mostly > 60% affinity and carefully selected. I rate early as well to contribute to this view. Early voting is only problematic if it isn't based on actually watching the show, or if it isn't changed with time. But then again, arbitrary and irrational voting can happen at any time, neither early or late versions of that behavior are worse. |
 |
| It's kinda early to judge an anime but the MAL system allows it, so there's nothing wrong... |
| "Stop rating the shows this early" - but I have opinions...and it goes without saying that those are based on the watched episodes. "I know MAL scores don't matter to a lot of old watchers, but what about the new ones who don't know how to critique shows yet?" - they will wise up or drop the media entirely...natural selection. "A lot of potential for Ikebukuro of the West Gate Park, Kami-sama ni Natta ni, and Noblesse but people will just ignore them since they have really low scores." - since you haven't completed those anime you can't claim them being good...so same goes for you. I can tell easily that those are not my cup of tea no matter of "good" or "bad". |
