| Just use the web archives and you can see Clannad AS, TTGL, Death Note, Haruhi movie, Kara no Kyoukai 5 and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien have all been #1 on MAL in the past at least iirc |

| wow, Mushishi improved its rating by an impressive 0.39 points since then, whereas Fumoffu dropped by 0.29 points. These rating changes over the course of many years might indeed be something worth looking into. |
| You also have to remember the userbase of MAL has increased exponentially over the years. The sample size was waaaayyy smaller back in the day |

| Code Geass improved by a whopping +0.54. Amount of rating people as well as average user age might be factors, but I suspect that there's even more to that. |

Xenocrisi said: I think it's more that when MAL was new and only had a few thousand users at most, anime wasn't as "normal" as far as socializing on the internet goes. So I reckon quite a lot of the users back then were more longtime hardcore anime fans. Over time however, anime has become much more socially accepted and consequently the amount of casual users on MAL has increased a lot more percentage-wise than what they were at in the site's early days. And casual watchers tend to be less critical and be more generous with ratings in my experience, so it's not so strange if this in turn has led to the global average of MAL scores having increased over the yearsZee530 said: Basically the new generation are way too generous with their scoring as opposed to before.
