>>283199666Guide to MAL1-4: some meme shit5: the worst anime that ever existed6: a masterpiece, the best out there7-8: yeah it was good9-10: some meme shit
for mal scores, magical destroyers at 6.25 is them basically saying it's abysmal while I thought it was overall meh with a few good episodes. a 6 is probably an accurate score though revenger is at 6.67 and I genuinely liked it.
Magical Destroyers is a solid 2, don't kid yourself.
>>283200000look at the stats https://myanimelist.net/anime/40010/Ishuzoku_Reviewers/stats and look at the scorethey froze its score when it got too high
>>283199666G-Reco rips. A really pretty one too. 5.80 is way too low.
>>283200450if every single episode was like episode 7 (trapped in a game), sure, I'd agree with you since that episode was unwatchable dogshit. but the majority of the episodes were mediocre to fine, and there were one or two actually good episodesyou're a coward by the way
>malFuck off.
>>283200488Why??
>>283199666Weirdest rec thread.
>>283199666all of themscore is inversely proportional to quality
>>283199666I barely remember this other than the penguin, but I remember thinking it was way worse than March.
>5.91 on malkind of sad because there's always a niche market for male ecchi
>>283200716Because the site is run by a bunch of faggots.
>>283200906Holy fuck I want blue to rearrange my guts
it's fine, a lot of absolute retards filtered by the generic black haired self insert being killed
>>283200822This. MAL has shit like SnK and S;G as the best anime of all time, their opinions aren't worth listening to.
>>283200716They have done that a bunch of time in the pastThey used to inflate FMA Brotherhood's score whenever it got close the being outrankedThey also lost all the credibility since they started selling digital manga on their site.Scores are just marketing
>>283199666>mal>scores>caring what others think>has no functioning brain of their own
The MAL rule is that anything between 6.5 and 7.25 is where the really good stuff is because that site is plagued with retards from r/anime who genuinely don't know good anime from bad and are usually just told what to like/dislike to karmawhore.
With this website you have to add 1 point to anything that's not battleshonen to get its actual rating.
>>283201395But NPCanon, you only hate mal because 4chan expects you to hate mal. You didn't come to hate mal out of free will, you followed the masses. OP is questioning the opinions of the masses and you're not.
>>283199765Lesser known old anime in general has an absurdly low score.It's disgusting.
Yashahime was pretty good IMO, a solid 8
>>283201953It's gatekeeping so it's good.
>>283201951>OP is questioning the opinions of the masses and you're not.Exactly. OP follows the mass's opinions. I don't. And you're a faggot
>>283199666ONEGAI>>283201561Beat me to it, fren.
The fucking normalniggers gave See You At the Foodcourt like a 6.5 when it was a 9
>>283202419Why are you so desperate for mainstream acceptance
>>283202419>>283201762
>>283199666I hate MAL and Rotten Tomatoes so much because many sites have the scores from these sites as of they're the "final say" on any given show or anime, where if an anime is rated a "6" on MAL for example, there's no further debate once that score is given.
>>283199920I haven't forgotten, but I also didn't like Interspecies Reviewers outside of the massive titted cow-girls. So fuck MAL and fuck Interspecies Reviewers to some extent, mostly because the harpy girl was a massive cunt.
>>283202836why do you care, when you have elevated tastes it is only natural that these scores don't match your preferences, and "final say" is appealing to unwashed masses incapable of critical thinking
>>283202329Seen this, didn't get all the freaking out people did over it.
>>283202909What's there to get? Normalfags fear anything different, it's in their nature.
>>283200628It does slap doe fr
>>283200488>>283200716Because it was getting brigaded by thousands upon thousands of retards that were being told to give it a 10/10 rating by some youtuber. People in this thread are fucking retarded for thinking discrediting those fake votes is bad. Score isn't frozen either.
I stopped caring about MAL scores a long time ago.
I never started caring about MAL scores.
>>283203184but it's ok when they (MAL) do it.>Score isn't frozen eitherthe current rating and stats literally do not match

>>283202909It used to get recommended back in the day way before traps/femboys/gay shit in general became a meme among normalfags. Back then people were actually made fun of for being gay. People would look it up, see it was gay, and overreact because it was funny.These days no one bats an eye anymore because a lot of casual anime fans “ironically” like traps now.
>>283204778Stop trying to pretend you were around back in the day. Everyone was gay for Bridget long before Boku no Pico existed.
>>283199666>What are some anime with low-scores on mal you think arent actually bad?Aquarion Logos
>>283200716Because contrary to what cumbrains here believe, it's score wasn't authentic. It was actually being botted.
I have no idea because I don't pay attention to MAL.
>>283203184>Because it was getting brigaded by thousands upon thousands of retardsIt's funny. /v/tards do the same thing shit with metacritic all the time for their culture "war". When metacritic then purges those brigaded views /v/tards pretend to be the victim and act as if they're totally "legit" opinion is being silenced. This schizos always have such a victim complex, as shown by this thread.
>>283199666School days
Because of tourists, every animation with boobs in it has to have ~2 added to its MAL score to be accurate, 2.5 if uncensored or actual sex in it.
>>283199666Kinomi Master is great, god tier even, is so rare to find shows with such a charismatic lead, without to mention a good story, good development, a good sidecast, and a pretty good power system, but people decided to shit on it because a checklist of things they are supposed to hate.
>>283199666>MALIf an anime is old and unpopular, it most likely gets low mean score. MALtards love their modern mainstream slop.
>>283199666Stuff for men gets its score dragged down, stuff for girls gets inflated scores. MAL is worthless for ratings. Comeback when they give you an option to filter out female opinions since they aren't relevant in the slightest.
>>2832039932024 doesn't count, and 2023 was the year with the most people that voted I think, and that was like 700...
>>283205869>If an anime is old and unpopularIn other words, it's not good.
>>283200000That show received a huge mean score, partially due to some YT retard encouraging people to boost the score, but not only. People, many of them, genuinely voted high for it either because they liked it or they wanted to troll. MAL decided to put everyone into one bag and made the mean score lower somehow (algorithm, anti bot vote brigading system, whatever). Funnily enough, genuine and malicious vote brigading, reported for years, was pretty much ignored until Interspecies Reviewers drama. An ecchi comedy that became popular and received high mean score was "enough" moment, apparently. The last straw to fix an easy problem by punishing a show that wasn't even the biggest part of it.Also, checked. Wonderful five times zero.
>>283205961No. I don't mean ancient anime or anything. 20-30 years is old enough for those tourists to whine about it being "too old". Unpopular is also a tricky word here. For them, it's usually anime that are not mainstream and currently glazed on social media.
>>283200628>G-Reco that lowMore reason for me not to ever visit or even check that niggerhole
>>283205581It goes the other way. There are a lot of prudes among MALtards who can give 1/10 score to a good series, only because of one frame with pants or ecchi subtexts.
>>283205512>unironic use of the word "culture war" because you are too much of a pussy to admit you are losingGamers are victimized because corporation enjoy metacritic purging reviews that allow gamers to identify bad faith developers who push thier agenda. Metacritic also allows inflated scores for bad faith developers because it only allows journos, who will give "good scores" to agenda driven games.Brigading is a good form of protest, so metacritic is victimizing gamers for voicing their opinions and are censoring legitimate opinions and behavior like this is why reviews by rotten tomato and metacritic are discredited. But I guess faggots like you who are losing will be more then happy to defend them by twisting the narrative where you pretend you are a smart little moral faggot, won't you?
>>283205972It's a trash anime anyhow
>>283199666usagi drop got bonked to a 6.96the anime was honestly one of the best i had ever seen at the time but they bombed it because of you know what
>>283200716most review sites use software and maths to figure out if you're a real person contributing a score in good faith and your rating gets thrown out if you're like a new sign up and immediately vote 10/10 on an anime and never come back again
>>283201953>>283205869You both got it the wrong way MALtards, older anime tend to get more intelligent, fairer and critical scores then for any anime made in the past 10 years ago, so older anime on that site will tend to have lower ratings. As the only people who bother to go back and review an old anime are different from the type of people who rate modern anime whose ratings will be inflated/deflated completely based on hype culture or social media. An old anime that has a rating of 5 might still have something interesting about it. A modern anime rating of 7 might still suck. I mean, this site will allow you to rate and review an anime before it is even finished. Arete Hime getting 6.89 is pretty reasonable.And MAL is still better then some other real shitty sites (letterboxd and its video game equivalent) where it is impossible to gauge if something is good or not because of social pollution by leftoids.
>>283199666Pretty much anything more than 25 years old deserves at least a 5 point bump just because of how recency biased that shit hole is.
>>283200349this is true, 6-8 is usually the stuff to watch. almost nothing has a 9 anyway.
>>283207206Neon Genesis Evangelion deserves a 0 though
MAL is the website where everything rated above 9 is complete shit.It's a joke site.
You can't holistically rate a piece of art using a scale that goes from 1 to 10. The idea that you can rate people, places or things using a single number is just another modern delusion.If you had told someone a thousand years ago that people in the future would assign numbers to art and engage with them purely on that basis, they would not believe you.
It's really hard to see as a proper balanced review site when it's so lopsided. You'll get thousands of people throwing out 9s for whatever hype shit is airing or trendy but some obscure older series or ova might get a 5 from a dozen reviewers, retards with grudges or modern dullards who just can't handle anything old.
>>283207400Can you tell me how a 9 feels? How about a 5?What parts of the anime do you add up in order to get a 5?
Sometimes for a laugh I'll click on the recommendations tab just to see how much they have to stretch to try and recommend some other garbage they know.
>>283203993All the first place winners other than Mushoku Tensei are good.
>>283207537>Guy who has only seen Naruto watching their second anime: Getting a lot of Naruto vibes from this...
>>283203993damn i didnt know anyone else even knew about pui pui molcar, those were hilarious
>>283207893Do you retards just hide when shit is airing?
>>283207206Can someone explain why average review scores drastically went up. A MAL 9 for 2025 anime would’ve been like a 8.5 a decade or two ago. Sure, you can argue we’re in an anime boom but from a pure writing and artistic perspective I don’t see how so much recent shows fill the top ratings
>>283207977game theory. people today think about what other people will give the anime so there's a trend of perfect 10 scores to combat the 1~2 ratings on the end of the scalepersonally speaking i rated the cat anime from last season 9/10 because i knew zoomers would watch 3 episodes and rate it a 4 or 5 since it wasn't "ha ha" funny. i wouldn't have done this 20 years ago when the hobby was more niche and review bombing/glazing didn't really exist as an organized movement
>>283203993I've always been puzzled by the amazing reputation A Place Further than the Universe has, it felt like dime-a-dozen 'cute girl hobbyist anime that gets forgotten by next season' to me
>>283208260>it felt like dime-a-dozen 'cute girl hobbyist anime that gets forgotten by next season' to meHow man of those dime a dozen girl hobby shows have you seen that were actually about coping with grief over the lose of a dead parent? Because while I'd bet you could name a couple it's not really a dozen. And you're an idiot.
>>283203993>Akiba Maid War beneath Bocchi>Shoujo Shuumatsu beneath Made in Abyss>Dark Gathering that fucking low, fag show that high upThe more I look at this list the more disgusted I am.
>>283208260>cute girl hobbyist anime Anime fans tend to like this genre so they rate it very highly. Ever medium has their personal biases. Same way Vosual novels fans love their Edgy ero shit or television purists live soap operas and sitcoms
>>283208260>>283208293hobby anime has inbuilt biases and incentivizes people who enjoy said hobby to rate it highly so they're able to get it and the anime to have more attention paid to itit's the reason why food anime almost never fails
>>283208260People praise it to the heavens, but I don’t remember a single character anymore after watching it aside from the long-haired girl, since her story is integral to the plot. The cast didn’t leave a dent in my memory.Meanwhile, I still have characters from Bocchi the Rock!, Maebashi Witches, and Tamayura clinging to my brain years after watching them.I know whos to blame here. Jukki Hanada and his shit scripts.
>>283208272NTA, Tari Tari and Tamayura, but both aren’t really CGDCT or hobby anime.
>>283201150Personally, I just hate yuri
>>283201561Damn, the CGI must have been a hard filter. Kamikatsu deserves to be at least 2 points higher than that
>>283208351>Maebashi Witches>years after watching
>>283201395>doesn’t care about other people’s opinions. >still going to 4chan to read other people’s opinions
>>283207953pretty much
>>2831997466 and above sure but 5.x on any rating platform is going to have at least 1 major flaw that makes it hard to enjoy and 4 or below is always a dumpster fire.
>>283208309>hobby animeYes, the millions of fans who go to Antarctica all the time love this show.
>>283208571the hobby is travellingantarctica is merely the destination and setting of this particular anime
>>283208613>the hobby is travellingaccurate foids in anime
>>283208620what an odd response
>>283208613I'm beginning to think you didn't actually watch the show. Saying Antarctica was just a hobby for travel is like saying the same about Mordor.
>>283208705>Saying Antarctica was just a hobby for travel is like saying the same about Mordor.absolutely not, you said this not me
>>283208483Yeah minus Maebashi Witches of course, but the cast is still very memorable
>>283199666>MAL>>>/r/eddit
>>283208705>>283208571i've realized the issue. you're conflating travelling as a holiday sort of thing while travel actually also includes going on the trip/journey for themselves. which is what they do since they're all going to antarctica to seek closure for one of the kids with the dead momgrowing, self-reflection and learning about themselves is inherent in pretty much any journey you make. i'm just not sure why you zero'd in on the location being antarctica suddenly making this anime in a league of its own
>>283201953>absurdly low>7/10???
>>283203671>the current rating and stats literally do not matchBecause I just told you they implemented a way to counter brigading. How about you listen for a change? The score was somewhere in the 7 range before that idiot youtuber made his followers sign up and give the anime tens of thousands of 10/10 ratings, getting the score to like 9.5 within hours. After they got rid of that bot spam it went back to the 7 range, and if you just take a look at a few archived scores over the last few years you'd know the score is moving, not frozen.
>>283209544Wow that 4-chan place sure sounds like an awful website!
>>283199666If you use the mal community's score scale then there's too many to bother. If look at scores as they should be then shows are either fairly rated or overrated. I don't think there's a show that deserves more than +1 to its score if you use the proper score scale.
>>283199666Obligatory. I would even call it good.
>>283209544Sounds like that one banner we have here>Don't go to /jp/ - Otaku Culture "please"
>>283199666I feel like many MAL users watched this expecting anything but what it was so obviously going to be, leading to this. Though I guess this happens for most ecchi.
>>283203993>Machikado Mazoku #2 in 2019Was that show any good? Never saw it and 2019 was about the shittiest year in recent history...
