Anyway, MAL ratings are like any ratings, they just represent what most people think about the show. I still think they give a pretty good idea of the show's quality, but not really if you'll like it or not. For that you look for recommendations from people you trust ;D. | ||

Ok I forgot Shigatsu is viewed as the most amazing thing ever. That may just edge out NGNL. edit: ROFL Ok shit I take it back. Shigatsu is ranked 13!. That so takes the cake. I apologize for my earlier misinformation! | ||

Shigatsu is/was way worse. I don't know why I forgot about that. | ||

I think the one thing MAL can be used for is to see if something is completely and utter shit since 98% of all shows on MAL are rated above 5 it takes a pretty bad show to go below a 5. So it's a useful tool for evading that 2% that's probably utter shit, i guess. | ||

90+% of anything airing in a season is scored at 7 or above. | ||

In the end it comes down to not investing a lot of time in watching something you don't like. Back when I had a lot of time on my hands, I watched pretty much anything, and that's where you'll find my sub-5 grades ;D | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/star_ratings.png) Personally i feel it's a waste to rate things at all if you're only going to rate things that are good, but that might just be me(No different than the people who rate everything 10 or everything 0, basically imho). For me it's basically: + Show Spoiler + 1: actually unwatchable (haven't used this score) 2: horrible 3: bad 4: mediocre 5: average - anything below 5 is where i drop shows on the spot unless i have a reason for finishing it (watching it with a friend or something like that) 6: decent 7: good 8: great 9: amazing 10: master piece I only have 2 shows scored at a 2 though, takes a shit ton for my to have picked something up that i disliked that much to begin with. Other than that it's almost a bell-shaped distribution of scores for me with something a bit above 6 being the mid-point. | ||

It's not like people are misusing the rating system, it's just that it doesn't really work in the first place. In the end it comes down to not investing a lot of time in watching something you don't like. Back when I had a lot of time on my hands, I watched pretty much anything, and that's where you'll find my sub-5 grades ;D I watch lots of shows I rate at 5 or 6, sometimes even 4 if I just happen to like the setting / genre despite thinking it's below average from an actual point of how good it is. I mean 5 is average, right? So if I like the genre because I like comedy or whatever you're into chances are you're going to watch it. 6 is already above average, so if I went out of my way to actually watch it in the first place I'm most likely going to stick with it as well because there's something that made me watch it. Example: Yamada-kun is a 5 out of 10 for me right now, although that should be upgraded to 6 out of 10 with the last 2 episodes. Nisekoi is a 6 out of 10 for me right now because season 1 was just waaaaaay better so far. And I enjoy watching both shows. I wouldn't drop them but they're just not anywhere as good to me as the stuff I have rated 7+ | ||

The difference between you and me is that I just stopped watching those because I don't have time for 6-rated shows even if I enjoy them. Point is, I could do something I enjoy more in the meantime. What I'm watching now: Kekkai Sensen, Arslan, Oregairu, Assassination Classroom, and I feel confident in saying that for most people these are easy 7+ shows. My 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are basically equivalent of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 stars for shows I have the time to watch :D | ||
