Why is this movie's score so low? I was checking MAL today, and I came across this... as far as I know, Maboroshi was very well received on Japanese movie theaters: breathtaking animation, emotional soundtrack, although having a bit confused ending. And made by mappa. I'm not trying to compare an X anime with an Y anime, or something, so please do not lock my thread. I just wanted to know if it's normal to have such a low score like this, even if it's not aired worldwide yet.

This seems to happen sometimes with anime movies. I think the new Miyazaki film started at like a 5 as well and is now at a 7.4 even though realistically very few people in the west have seen it and MAL is a western platform. I've seen it with other movies as well so I imagine it's just typical for one reason or another.

This film currently only has a 147 users most of whom I assume haven't even rated it. Even Mari Okada's previous film Maquia has a 183,000 users so this movie is basically still a blank unrated slate at this point.

Because that's what happens when there's very few people who gave it a score, the sample size is just too small. The score starts low, and as more and more people rate it, it makes big jumps until it reaches its peak and then will slowly start to decrease until it stabilizes.

Advice: Don't think too much about scores.
