It's been months now that Frieren has had such a high score. It ruins the ratings of this site to allow people to just bot whatever scores they want. Do the admins intend on doing anything?

the FMAB fanboi is jealous of the frieren.
frieren is high because they fixed the rating during the Fruits basket Final mass 1 vote incident which crushed mal.

Have a little respect, OP actually scored Frieren 8 not the usual 1, so I don’t quite understand why the post in the first place?
But a large number of us gave a perfect 10, it’s just statistics…

If you genuinely believe that Frieren should have the highest score lead in this sites history, then you're biased. Nowhere outside of this platform is Frieren even considered a contender for the best anime.

@rohan121 This is a pretty abnormal example of this though. We occasionaly get high 8/10 to 9/10s but this show has an unprecedented lead over second place.

@White-The-Night holy cope, there a shit ton of websites where frieren is at top spot, and about the bias, how can i be biased if i was a fan when i liked it before anime was even announced? Your conclusions sound like they are made by a 10 year old throwing a tantrum over cartoons. Didnt even bother to check other websites and yet made so many conclusions not only about the website, but also people who likes the show

The only anime rating website with a high enough userbase to have acurate ratings to that of the general anime watcher is MAL. Sites with less than 5000 ratings don't mean a thing. My argument is based on other anime realted online forum websites.

@samsince04 I've simply asked a question. I've not attacked the quality of the show or it's fanbase. Yet every reply I've gotten is from an upset frieren fan. Hence why this is the show with a fanbase that would be mass botting.

@BaronBrixius This site is not called my Manga list. Manga ratings have never been consistent with anime ratings on this site. And yes, just not nearly as much as anime do.

@White-The-Night Well, I don't think anything's going to convince you the way you've been so adamant this far, but if you really want you can look at the latest 100 or so ratings in the stats column of the show and average them. Look at each account and remove the ones you think are bots if you want. You'll see that it's pretty consistent with the average.

I only have people who watched a significant amount of anime on my friends list, and excluding myself, 18 out of 27 people who watched Frieren have given it a 10/10. The others are all 8s and 9s. The average is 9.59.

It's just that good, face it. It's not my favorite anime of all time either, but it's the one show that's in almost everyone's top 5% or so.

If you think Frieren's MAL rating is too high because second place is so much lower, you should hold the same opinion about Berserk's manga rating right?

The whole point is what the best anime is to YOU. If it’s a 10 for most people on THIS site then so be it. It ain’t my #1 fav anime and it ain’t the best over all to others but who cares? Such is life.

Even those who believe the Frieren anime is overhyped tend to rate it no lower than 8 out of 10. This suggests that the show is widely appreciated. Everyone has the right to their own opinion and vote accordingly. It’s clear that the anime has earned its place as one of the highest-rated series due to its exceptional quality. (And no, not only in MAL is it in first place.)

The entire rating system has been busted in my opinion
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

the point of the site is for people t 9keep track of thier own personal anime watch lists, the average ratings are going to be all over the place regardless since users can and will rate things by different metrics amd scaling systems. The top ratings kust give a general idea of what is popular right now and have never and will never be the end all be all of what anime is superior to another.

@White-The-Night Let's say some anime other than Frieren achieved the same success. It came out of nowhere, was widely considered better than 2nd place (Frieren or FMA), the majority of watchers rated it 10/10, then it stayed that way for a year. Would this be considered recency bias or could the show actually be... good?

You could be part of the people of the 95% of people that like it, but the remaining 5% will posts threads exactly like this one. "When are they clearly going to fix the clearly botted score? My {insert anecdotal experience here} clearly contrasts with the opinion on this rating website, so it must be botted/wrong." You can see there's never going to be a winner in this argument. The majority of people who like the show will understand why it's rank #1, the minority will always complain and say that the majority is biased/stupid/wrong.

how do you know that? what evidence do you have?

You're not saying that the score is skewed because it doesn't have as many members as the other big 10, and that as more people watch and add it to their list, the score will go down. That would be plausible but instead you just seem to be in denial. Why even care so much?

@Mizuwa It is not ranked number 1 on the site, it is ranked number 1 by a larger margin than any show on this site ever, and has been for a while. If my favorite show was ranked number 1 by that amount, I would say that it has a botted score.

There is no show or movie that would be ranked in first place by this large a margin without bots.

@Cestlavie_ Nothing strange, it simply means that new watchers mostly agree with the previously established score, so it doesn't change much.
