Yeah babes.. I luv this thread.

So what? You gave a 9 to Azumanga Daioh and an 8 to Lucky Star, keep saying that you gave few 10, but to be honest you haven't watched many things that really deserve a 10.

PeanutSteak said:
You have not seen Azumanga Daioh and you gave a 7 to Lucky Star which is not that far off, after checking your list two of the things that I gave 10s you did too. Keep saying that what you believe is a masterpiece should be what everyone thinks is a masterpiece, but to be honest you're just upset that one of your favorite series has been de-throned off the top spot.

5layer said:
Well technically, Wishy IS actually right. Thats how scoring always worked and will always work. The fact that it works this way doesn't mean that KnK 5 is overrated or anything though.

Yeah. Let's bring up unrelated ratings in a childish attempt at character assassination.

WinterNightsFall said:


Same. I will treasure this ss (and moment) forever. Seeing something else other than TTGL ranked as #1 is the biggest shock from my 1.5 years here on MAL. D:

In any case, KnK 5 will stay up there on top for a bit, then once people start wondering about why this movie that they've never heard of before is ranked #1 on MAL and watch it, it'll go down. Quite a bit.

I foresee the creation of a shitload of clone accounts bring down the score. And the MAL ranking system is far from perfect.

Any bets on how long it'll be up there at first?

CODE GEASS IS A MASTERPIECE

Ketuekigami said:

but they didnt get "low scores". the scores for the previous movies would be considered high on MAL. and of course only the biggest fans would see it the day it was subbed first, i think thats pretty obvious. and how would u know it wouldnt be top 10? its actually really good and deserved at least in the top 10 so please dont make assumptions without even seeing any of the movies.

naikou said:
I just finished the 3rd movie. If it doesn't get significantly better over the next two movies, I'm going to be upset.

Torisunanohokori said:
^Yeah, but the same is true of a lot of other shows. KnK distills this to its essence (7 installments).

But Major also has 5 seasons (all of which make the top 200), so installments obviously aren't the only factor. You can't get on the top without something going for you.

And speaking of the top 200, I checked this out while I was waiting.

4/10
5/20
10/30
17/40
20/50
22/60
27/70
30/80
34/90
38/100
41/110
43/120
48/130
54/140
59/150
63/160
66/170
66/180
69/190
76/200
80/210

The number of sequels per overall places in the anime toplist (the average stays at a little over 1/3 except for the top 20 datapoint). That number has gone up since the last time I checked, though I'm not sure I still have the stats. Wishy had a legitimate point, it was just getting lost in the sniping - sequels get too much love and too little real criticism. The number of sequels creeping up on the toplist seriously worries me (mainly because of diversity issues). I do think something needs to be done to reign in sequel ratings in general. I don't know what I'd suggest yet.

Ketuekigami said:
AND, for reference sake. KnK is not supposed to be 7 different movies, its a series that consists of 7 ova's. it is the correct method and is done that way on all other anime sites, its just that MAL messed that up.

Uminekko said:
Comparison with episodic anime like ARIA, or sports anime like Major is not suitable. One must look at KnK as a 7 episode single series.

Torisunanohokori said:




Then, million-dollar question, why isn't it listed as one? If it were so listed, I doubt that this argument would have ever started. It doesn't need to be up there five times, going on 7. Every anime gets weighed down with hate-troll baggage (another legit ratings problem on MAL) which, ironically, pacifies flame-trolls.

The solution with combination you bring up is interesting, and I thought about it before too, but there's a problem with it. Namely, how does one draw the line between, say, Hajime no Ippo and New Challenger, which vastly differ in, to say the least, soundtrack and animation quality (being a sequel 5 years apart)? Or Rurouni Kenshin and Tsuiokuhen, which share a few message differences? If that question could be answered, I think you proposal would merit serious consideration. I mean, most sequels in the top 200 have originals also in the top 200 - do fans really need to see there favorite in there twice?

I don't mind the way they listed it, and I've already posted my reasons above. Separated as 7 won't have much effect, since it was produced closely (time), or maybe some people are just lazy to add it one by one on to their list (?) . This is an issue that has nothing to do with KnK.

mods could come up with an easy solution

windy said:
mod here, the split up ova thing is being discussed by us...kind of. there's a decent-sized public topic about it, as well.

there is no easy solution. if there was, we'd have done something about this whole issue already.

if anyone here has any ideas, please, post them in the topic in the suggestions section.

Torisunanohokori said:


It's already had a pretty significant impact on the ratings which are the subject of this topic. Thus it does have a bit to do with KnK. If people had been able to treat the different episodes of popular OVA series like Tsuiokuhen as separate, I almost guarantee you that KnK 5 may have hit the #4 spot.

naikou said:
Ok, 4 movies down. It's certainly gotten better over the 3rd and 4th movie, but the best parts are still the Neko-Arc segments at the beginning. I'm saving the fifth movie for tomorrow and expecting to be disappointed, but who knows.

Cloud1234 said:
If you watch it with that thought on your head, you will be dissapointed and you will think its overrated...

naikou said:

Would you rather I watch it expecting to be blown away, be disappointed and think it's overrated?

I can't help it, either way. It would be impossible to cleanse my mind of expectations.

Seriously, whether the rank is high or not doesn't really matter. Just shut the fuck up and watch the damn movies before judging.
