Because Animes are not popular on IMDb to begin with. Their most popular Anime entry is One Piece with 264k user (against 2.5M on MAL).

Because this is an anime-dedicated website.

Even anime that are popular on IMDb doesn't compare to their popularity in MAL.
E.g., AoT has around 550K Members on IMDb, but here, the first installment has 4,000,000 million members. Even AoT Season 4 Part 2 - the second to last installment here, has more then double the members than AoT has on IMDb.

Because it’s an anime and anime tends to be more popular in anime sites rather than other kinds of sites?

Correction: AOT is the most popular with 553k members, followed by Death Note in 2nd with 397k members. One Piece is in 3rd place actually.

It doesn't rlly make sense to compare MAL to IMDb, when the average IMDb user has watched 10 mainstream anime at most so they don't really have standards

Idk if this is a troll or not

But to answer your question: IMBD is not an anime centric database

I would actually say its the opposite the ending needed to be fleshed out more IMO in terms of the time skip anyway

Not many people use IMDB for anime stuff, that’s why.

Because the average IMDb user is significantly older than the average MAL user, and doesn't watch teenage anime (anymore)
