>without using opinions, why should I not trust MAL's opinions

Yeah, this will end fucking well.
>>
>>140699778
Ratings do not require a show to be completed. The vast majority of users will rate a show after only one episode, meaning that on average "slow burn" shows like SoL are rated lower than something that starts off very flashy. Plus once something gets a low rating early in the season, it rarely goes up; same for shows with a good start that go to shit.

>>140699778
Aren't ratings based on opinions? So for anyone to be arguing against the website, wouldn't they have to argue against the character of the weebs that use it?

I guess that means the in depth and quality reviews get mixed up with the half-assed reviews

>without using opinions, why should I not trust MAL's opinions
My bad. Didn't specify what I meant when I said no opinions. What I had in mind when I wrote that was to avoid saying things like "their taste is different from mine, therefore it's shit" or "they only like shounen, therefore they're shit". An example of what I was avoiding is this >>140700134

>>140700095
I agree. I've noticed that several "reviews", supporting or opposing an anime, involve qualities that can basically be boiled down to personal preference like "I don't like the animation" rather than examples of how they think the animation doesn't fit

I like her, its rare that anime has strong leadership women portrayed well. Her ditzness was clearly a calculated move so she doesn't intimidate the otakus too much and they have a reason to like her.

I think its just marketing. People outside of /a/ probably read the premise for Kiznaiver and heard Trigger and got on board with that, they probably aren't even interested in anything with 'mecha' in the title.
I think a better indication is the torrent numbers because at least you have an idea of how much the show has been screened versus the people who actually decide to go internet upvote it on only one site.

Like, from all the shit out there fucking GINTAMA.
>>
>>140702057
It's because Gintama is both a really long-running show and one that's broken down into a bunch of different seasons. So the only people still watching after 200 episodes are people that really, really like the show, hence why almost all the votes are really high. This is also why the most recent season has a bunch of 1 votes from people who never watched any of the other seasons, because they're trying to drag the average down.

I never use the site, but if it is anything like IMDb, isn't a large flaw that good scores beget good scores and vice versa.

As in, a show gets a view good scores and because of that other people give it a good score because lolsheeple.

Also on a normie site like MAL I would assume only normie stuff will get voted high. So anything that even so much as hints at anything ecchi gets lower scores.

Why do you faggots care so much about score? Do you need a hivemind so you can like things or justify your taste?

I swear, even my friend tries to convince me to watch 300+ episodes of Gintama just because it's best scored and laughs at other anime, that after certain episodes they go down from top 20 to top 30. Fucking why?

Serious question here.

Why do you keep all your anime? I keep anime for the season then I delete it. There are 2 reasons for me to keep an anime
1) I haven't seed enough (this only happens with extremely obscure shows, usually in the timeframe of a season I will have uploaded ore than enough)
2) It is an especially good/memorable anime that I rewatch (Shows like EVA, S;G and certain feature length anime)

I don't see the point of having something on my drive that I'll never watch again, anything I have ever see I can pretty much play from start to finish in my mind. I suppose you could make the argument of "why delete it once you have it?", but it is honestly fucking cumbersome to keep up with the storage space required, I'd be going through several drives a year.
>>
>>140699778
People on MAL rate often after only 1 or two episodes, rate entirely based on their enjoyment therefore causing extremely biased ratings and reviews and many of them don't even rate by a 1 - 10 system even though that's how the site is.

Some people use their arbitrary systems like rating 6 - 10 for a 5/5 rating system for example.
>>
>>140702710
To rewatch is the biggest reason. In fact more than half of the shows that I've watched I've rewatched and easily 5% I've seen more than 5 times. I've only deleted a couple shows ever.
And I've only gone through less than 2/3 of my 3TB hard drive in the last two years. It was $100 and by the time I need a new one they'll be cheaper.
However with that said, I can always delete many of my 'would never watch again' shows to clear up room when I actually need more room, so I'm not worried about storage at all.
>>
>>140702710
>Not at least re-watching at least 3 shows a season.
Pretty shameful family.
>>
>>140703136
>rate entirely based on their enjoyment

I do this, but dont pay attention or care about total score. Just do it for myself later if I want to rewatch something.

>rate often after only 1 or two episodes
if its a currently airing season I rate after episode 3 (or drop) and also each subsequent episode and then a week after the season go back and re-rate based on my over all feeling. For backlog I dont rate until the entire show is done.

Almost never complete a show Ive rated a 5/10, as I drop those by half the show although sometimes it happens if a show starts strong and ends terrible, like Dimension W.

6/10 is for tolerable or 'ok'. 7/10 are for shows I enjoyed but werent great. 8/10 are for shows I personally loved but might have had technical or story flaws.

9/10 for the shows that were amazing on every level except maybe one thing (like LAIN had mostly poor animation, so didnt make 10 but rated a 9). 10/10 are just for personal 'I will rewatch this' series.

4/10 and less are for things I drop less than 3 episodes in because of how terrible they are.

Trusting ratings is generally a poor idea anyway, otherwise things like Marvel movies would be universal 11/10s and they fucking suck.

Yep, MAL puts shit up the moment it's announced, and you can rate it whatever the fuck you want, actual status of the anime notwithstanding. . It's actually surprisingly common for anime to get pretty high rankings before the first episode airs based off of people giving out pre-emptive 10s (the second cour of F/SN:UBW made it to like 20th before the first episode aired, for example), but OPM is the first time they'd ever actually cracked top 10 that I know of.

Of course I know what I'm currently watching.
What my folders don't:
- displaying the whole list in one page for better viewing
- have the feature rate each show and to sort the list by score I gave them
- keep track the last episode I watch for a given show
- the date when I started/finished watching something
- supported by 3rd party little program like Taiga/MALUpdater
- other little things that display statistics like malgraph

The only inconvenient thing about using MAL is when you first start using it, initializing the list with whatever you've watched. It's literally painless from there on.

Your choice if you don't care about those little bits but I love them.

Why would anyone use MAL anyway, it is a side used predominantly by muricans. Now don't get e wrong, nothing wrong with muricans in general, however when it comes to anime...

Some 16yo dweeb watches naruto, then he goes onto MAL to browse his next anime to watch, he picks something at random, it has some immouto sexualization in it. He watches 1 ep before going onto MAL again to write an angry review about it being perverse and sick. Rinse and repeat for thousands of plebs.

You want "serious" opinions on anime, you go to the japanese boards and lurk those.

Trusting the opinion of an American on anime, is like trusting the opinion of a San Franciscan on guns.

/a/ and other sites like it are fun and all, but they really draw in too much new, people googling for anime reviews and recommendations will invariably come across /a/ at some point.

Similair to how western sites/boards dedicated to western media (such as /tv/) don't really get flooded with recommendations or requests, Japanese sites/boards dedicated to Japanese media don't get flooded with rec/req's either. The people on those boards have grown up in a culture in which they are surrounded by that media, know what it is, and have decided a long time ago to get into it or not. You will rarely find a japanese person get into anime in his twenties, yet in the west that wouldn't be unheard of.

TL;DR
Go use 2ch&co
>>
>>140699778

they give bad ratings to shows that include cute girls or sexualized content in any shape or form regardless of the actual good merits of the show and give high ratings to shows that establish sci-fi/ interesting concepts despite not developing said concepts at all and becoming trainwrecks mid-season.

some examples, Girls und panzer is very good but gets bad ratings, but that novel-adapted fanservice shit school show with magic powers? amazing! 9/10!

is the show a shit shonen with 100+ and terribad animation? 10/10 out of fuckin 10

The only reasons ever to use MAL are to keep track of the shows you've watched and to look up information on something. Anyone who has the slightest amount of intelligence would know better than to look at its community for anything.
>keeping track
Yeah. Some people like keeping track of what they eat or of all the (You)s they get, so why can't I keep track of what I watch?
>>
>>140708315
MAL is a shit site but fabricating complete falsehoods about it because of your victim complex is dumb as fuck, Girls und Panzer actually has a pretty good score at 7.64 and above most average shitty seasonal light novel adaptations
>>
>>140699155
Kumamiko is shit though.
>>
>>140708433

Of course they do. Look at this:

http://myanimelist.net/anime/8442/Maze%E2%98%86Bakunetsu_Jikuu__Tenpen_Kyoui_no_Giant

It literally doesn't exist. It was released in theaters in the 90s and vanished after it's run finished. No vhs, ld or dvd releases were made, no known masters, no raws exist. It's impossible to watch it, but it's been rated 39 times.

Now this is pretty obscure for your average MAL user, you can imagine how much that number inflates on popular or seasonal things that have tens of thousands of more members. It's the kind of people that spend more time with electronic dick measuring than enjoying the actual material.

>caring about MAL

>>140699778
It is a fact that MAL has a horrible disease that is actually giving rates/scores for shit that literally just started.

It's episode 1, just aired, and if they assume/pre-hype the show, they will simply put a 9 and forget about the show.


MAL literally can't be neutral or objective when giving ratings.
>>
>>140704615
They used to reset rankings periodically, now they just hide the rating until the show has actually aired. But you can still estimate the rating based on sort order.

E.g. JoJo 4 started with like 8.8 before it aired (somewhat justified because the manga is known, but inflated due to die-hard fans). Kabaneri had 8.5 with only a trailer and the staff list out.

>Now that I think about it, it's weird how the one thing saving anime are shows with barely any budget, the only exception being Konosuba which somehow got really popular too.

For the same reason, actually.

Don't get me wrong, I think Konosuba is great, but winter had a lot of shows that weren't for low power-levels, so they just moved and focused on one.

See, you had Rakugo
>fujoshit
Grimgar
>SAO clone
Bahamut

for exemple, add the other and you have a bunch of shows that people dropped before the second episode.

You simply should not trust anyone's ratings, including and especially /a/. Watch it yourself.

Chinese cartoons are all about enjoyment and your perspective.

For example,
Native asians who grew up with suparobo shows since childhood would find Macross Delta to be the most amazing thing ever while westerners who got into animu post highschool would think its shit.
Similarly, westerners think AKIRA is a godsent best thing ever while native asians would think it's a decent show.

Read the manga, watch the show, do it by yourself and form your own opinions.
You don't need other people's opinions to dictate how your tastes should be like.
>>
>>140710388
But forming your own opinion is hard
>>
>>140710388
But how am I supposed to know what I should think of something without seeing what other people think of it?
>>
>>140699988

One thing to keep in mind, is that this changes once the show is completed. Once it is completed, you need to have watched 20% of the episodes (so more than 1) for your rating to count.

So the rating may jump once the show actually completes.
>>
>>140699155
Bakuon belongs on the lowest though. That's one thing they've got right.
>>
>>140699778
Because any shithead can rate any anime on MAL however they like whether they really did watch it or not.

It's the super flaw system and only inbred retard use it as indicator for anything at all.

Overrates sci-fi, shounen, sport and fujoshi anime and is strongly biased for very new and very old anime.

So if you for example pull up the Winter 2015 chart and decide on what to watch based on ratings it will recommend you watch Tokyo Ghoul, AssClass, Death Parade, Durara, Naruto, One Piece, Shigatsu, Fairy Tail,, etc,, etc,,
before Fafner Exodus.

NGE didn't have a 26-episode sequel series that more or less required you to have watched S1 and EoE. Fafner Exodus however did exactly that (replace EoE with Heaven and Earth).

Additionally, NGE is the best-selling TV anime of all time, while Fafner was never as famous.

You example is shit.

What about the Rebuilds? They're a sequel to a two cours TV series + movie franchise.
>>
>>140712164
They are a reboot that replaces (as far as we know) the TV series, or at least present an independent view on it. Rebuild doesn't require knowledge of the original series.

And the point of NGE being one of the most famous anime ever still stands, while Fafner is niche in comparison.

Why am I even replying to a tripfag like you?
>>
>>140711466
You will never get the idea to watch Fafner at all if you follow their ratings.

One of the most worthwhile additions to the mecha genre being ranked at #1920 is hugely flawed while some random excrement like Shitgatsu ranks in at #14.
>>
>>140712363
Enlighten me, what's so great about Fafner? What did it add to the genre?

I had this on my to-watch list for years, but only on low priority. Plus the fansub looked horrible and I didn't know what else to grab.
