MaL should consider Rating of the entire Anime instead of season wise

xDqnilo said:
I've been finding that really anoying...but i think the best way for... everything...sorting watching looking up...rating ..would be to set the whole anime as one section...and then inside that...you have it divided by seasons and arc or whatever...and there you can rate every arc separate...and then anime as a whole...

I hate this thing on Mal top anime should be Ranked based on full length of anime or upto point where it aired not season wise...cuz i checked ratings on IMDB it is rated 8.9⭐ but when i checked the episodes rating every episode is rated above 8.5 (except s1ep3 8.4⭐) and almost every episode is rated above 9⭐ and 9.5⭐ and two episodes are rated 10/10⭐ and when i checked other animes and Fmab none of them r close to AoT..Even Fmab eps r not closed to 9.8⭐ and even eps r rated below 7⭐ even 6⭐ and yet it is top on mal and in my opinion the anime should not be ranked season wise...thats all

2,6% of 430.000 votes is scored 1, while the majority of top anime doesn't surpass 1% of that score. Gintama's score was raided by Fullmetal Alchemist's fans too, and has 2,8% of 146.000 votes. No fan of AoT neither Gintama would score it 1, no matter how bad the adaptation may be. 5s,6s, maybe 4s or even 3s if you dislike it. What is truly lowering the score is raiding from other fanbases, and if AoTS3P2 goes near nº1, it will happen to it too. In my opinion, Season 4 is superior to last seasons, and I like the CGI more than 2d titans (And the color palette). Still I would rate all seasons 10, because the overall anime is a 10 for me. S4>S2>S3P2>S1>S3P1

S4 has 52% of 10s while S3P2 has 45% of 10s (And only 0,6% of 1s). The 1s of S4 are what is truly lowering the score because of their weight in the total score. Which means that it isn't genuine. There should be more 3s, 4s, 5s or 6s, which would come from disappointed fans. Therefore, this isn't a problem from the fanbase of AoT, nor from genuine criticism of consumers. You can perfectly see in the forum how there is ''fans'' shitting on AoT while backing the rise of S3P2, but I tell you, if S3P2 comes close Fullmetal alchemist, these same people will raid S3P2 and shit on it too. Sad

The stats page doesn't remove the bot votes but bot votes are removed for the final score, maybe go read the rules about scoring before you make up stupid ass theory.
the score reduced because people found this to be a 8-9 at best and they scored accordingly, aot fans themself sabotaged this season

This is true to an extent. There are not only bots, but legit profiles who rated AoT (in this case, but it happens for a lot of anime) 1/10, and these are counted.
Still, the main reason the rating is going down are the 7s, 8s and 9s

By your logic, AoTS4 should have more 8s and 9s than AoTS3P2, but it isn't the case. AoTS4 has more 10s and 1s and less 9s,8s and 7s, while S3P2 has only 0,6% of 1s. Do you truly think that genuine and dissapointed fans would vote 1? And I know too that genuine fans wouldn't shit on their own fanbase as if they weren't part of it, as you did.


If the main reason were 7s,8s and 9s, there should be more 7s, 8s and 9s than S3P2, or at least less 10s, but it isn't the case at all. 1s low the score the most because of their weight. S3P2 only has 0,6% of 1s, and AoTS4 has 2,6%. It is pretty obvious that it isn't a genuine score, so, it doesn't matter

shadowdragon007 said:

even all the 10s are not counted because some of them are bots, if you look at the users considered for calculating the score for s3p2 its 777,777 and for s4 it's 428,707, as you can see more people voted for s3p2 and it will have a effect on the scoring too, true aot fans won't shit on the show? did you forget a few months back fans wre sending death threats to the animators and have been generally shitting on this season since the start

and the stats page doesn't remove the bot votes but the final score does

andrrww23 said:

That's the thing, it would be way higher, and only once S4 had more 7s,8s and 9s than S3P2, then it would drop behind. Therefore, the score isn't a genuine representation of AoT fans nor consumers. It doesn't make any sense that while S4 has 7% more of 10s that S3P2, they have the same overall score. Therefore, the problem here aren't fans, but other fanbases raiding.


The majority of 1s don't come from fans, because the raid of Fullmetal alchemist happened more than once while the season was still airing. The score is droping abnormally fast, as it did the times it surpassed Fullmetal alchemist. It is so childish that it is laughable. But that's not the problem, the problem is when there is people making themselves seem as ''fans'' to create a sense of infight, which isn't the case. I don't care if S4 is number 1,2,3 or whatever, but I don't it like when there is a sabotage against the fanbase, because that can perfectly affect the product. I tell you, many people from other fanbases have taken advantage of the minor controversy of MAPPA to shit on AoT, which is fucking retarded but, it is happening

bruh the score dropped abnormally fast because the majority is rating the show now, people keep saying fmab raided and stuff like that and use the example of gintama but when mal introduced the new system of duplicate account detection that was corrected and all the shows that were affected recovered you can check that out here https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1824703.

you do know that people enjoy more than one anime right i enjoy aot just as much as i enjoyed watching fmab, steins;gate, death note and every other anime, you don't have to stake your whole identity on one anime, and it was aot fans who created the shit storm it was not minor people were creating comparison videos making death threats and nit picking every single detail, also the score of s3p2 increased drastically because but i don't see anyone complaining about that
Nobody is sabotaging aot diehard aot fans are doing it themself, I can only imagine what will happen after the show ends since the manga readers are extremely divided with the direction it s going
you can think i'm sabotaging or whatever but I'm not i like aot, i gave this season a 8 and 8.5 in other sites because that is what i thought it deserved as many other people did

and also creating a new account just to rate s3p2 and s4p1 a 10 won't work and is also considered as botting

Roger1 said:

Lmao always blame fmab fans when you should be blaming aot fans ☠️ Your fandom hated the cgi, the ost, the lighting, the colors and probably many other things of S4 and they’re probably at least half of the 1s. Your fandom is also fighting against themselves on which season is better. When it ended, it got a boost to 9.20 and now that’s it 9.11, the 1s only increased by 700. It’s % even went down from 3.1% to 2.5% but still you’re a blind fanboy that can’t understand data. Yeah you can always just try to put the blame on other fandoms when everyone knows the aot fandom is the most toxic fandom of all that you even fight among yourselves lmao.

Do you understand that the raid doesn't have anything to do with duplicate accounts? These are other fanbases, that's it. AoT S4 became nº1 more than once in last months, and sudently, by your own arguments, AoT fans started to vote 1s because? By that time the show didn't end, and it happened too. I'm not an anime fan, I don't like other animes. This is my first interaction with any type of anime community, and it is so pathetic that now I understand the whole rejection against the ''otaku''. I like tv shows, and AoT is the only anime that is normal enough to be great and unique because of its ideology. What I see is people making themselves look like fans of AoT, celebrating that S3P2 is nº2, while rating it 1 too. You are so apologetic about the fmab fanbase (in a AoT discussion forum) while shitting on this fanbase that it is obviously suspicious, but I don't care, because the data clearly says that the score isn't a genuine representation of fans. And the overall rating in other sites indicates that the MAPPA controversy was from a minority too. So, I'm glad that the product will not be affected by such retards

And look, there is another person in an AoT discussion forum defending the fmab fans while calling the AoT ''your fandom'', and shitting on it. Not suspicious at all. And, if there wasn't this disproportional amount of 1s, S4 would have a genuine total score. I explained it, it isn't so hard to understand that it doesn't make any sense that while S4 has 7% more of 10s than S3P2, they have the same score. I'm glad that S3P2 is 2º, I loved that season. Let's see if S3P2 comes close to fmab if you have the same reaction

Roger1 said:

You do know that the stats being shown aren’t the real stats right? I mentioned the 1s just cause it went lower. The score you’re seeing now is filtered already so what “genuine” do you want? It’s just very obvious that you’re very upset that S4 isn’t #1 sad life. You’re probably one of those in the beginning of S4 who said it will end at 9.40 or something lmao. You can call it “sabotage” all you want but that still won’t make it go higher lol xD Goodbye top 5 in a few weeks.

Coincidentally, s3 p2 overtook that horrifically overrated season. It’s 8.5 at best.
Yes, it blows s4 out of the water. Don’t try and merge them just because it was overtaken.
And no, back when fmab was airing people weren’t just blindly rating every episode a 10.

andrrww23 said:

I didn't join this conversation till yersterday. I don't care about the rating as I said. I don't know if an otaku can read but, I will try to explain it better. The problem here to me is the fact that people like you are pretending to be fans of AoT while spreading a sense of infight, when in reality you only care about the position of your favourite animes. That's the sabotage, because sometimes, retards like you speak the louder, and then, it affects the product. That's the meaning of the 1s, and the overall interactions that I have seen in this forum. A rating is nothing in comparison with that. If S3P2 gets closer to the first place, let's see if you are that happy.

solele said:

Blindly rating doesn't matter in the long run for AoT either tho, since it has such a huge number of voters (its the fourth most popular tv show on IMDB by episode rating, surpassed by only Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and Black Mirror) . FMAB episodes on IMDB have 1,500 votes, while AoT episodes have 50,000 votes, there's such a big difference that it balances out from the blind raters. Plus, if you check the top voters average for an episode, the top voters still rate the top AoT episodes a 9.9 or 10, and the top voters for FMAB rate them a 9.3. T

I actually like the seasonal format MAL uses. Lengths between seasons are too long to have them the same entry. I'm certain Japan categorizes seasons as different entries and other anime ranking sites use the seasonal format also. Seasons have their own style and the production value can vary from each other. Each season is a project within themselves even if they don't cover the entirety of the series.

Also IMBD is a much smaller consensus for anime compared to MAL.

BurrZurrCarr said:

Yeah I mostly agree with this take, although I believe that IMBD has just as much authority when it come to anime as MAL in my opinion.

In my opinion, even though it's kinda annoying and sometimes even a little confusing to navigate the site this way, it doesn't really make sense to bundle all the seasons together into a cumulative score.

If that was the case, you'd see the score for the entire show jump around like crazy everytime a new season comes out, and it wouldn't paint an accurate picture of the quality of the show.

Granted, it's not a perfect system. The later seasons of shows will almost always be rated higher than the earlier one's because usually only people who enjoy the first seasons continue onwards, and I think we're seeing that right now with AOT. Don't get me wrong, season 4 is REALLY GOOD, but better than season 3 AND a 9.2 average? That might be a bit of a reach.

IFollowKIngs said:
Did you just use IMBD to
make a point lmao, if you want to look at like that. Then look at the series rating fmab(series) is at a 9,1 , while aot is a 8,9...
