This anime is doing amazing for the first 4 episodes, imo i think it needs a higher rating, the first few episodes are great. Is it just because not enough people are watching it? Or maybe because there are lots of people who just dont like it. Either way i think this anime deserves a higher rating.

Honestly speaking i believe that too. Seems like one of those underated anime right now. Maybe if more people hear its good it will get a bigger audience.

But it's still airing, the rating is not for sure. The definite rating will be when it ends and i honestly don't know why ppl review or rate an Anime after a few episodes.

its airing, the score will change very slowly and when the show is completed it will change drastically if its really good or really bad. If its just a mixed ending the score stays the game

At the rate this is going to have like a 8.30ish probably if the quality keeps going the way it was

Just wait until it's finished airing.
Until then, you won't get a definite rating.

@DJIzzyIzzyHitler u got some deep quote for your signature

an anime should be good/enjoyable from begining to end for rating 8+ imo so im not really against the idea rating after seeing 4-5 episodes but rating after just 1 epi is ridiculous..
other than that i dont say mal's rating system is good or anything.. some shows are underrated some are overrated but we cant say anything before the serie finishes and final rating

Didn't Shin Sekai Yori's rating only go up after the series ended as well? I sincerely hope this series won't disappoint, and if it doesn't, it would be a crime if its rating didn't rise as well. Right now it still seems promising.

I wouldn't say the rating is low..
Don't get me wrong, I think it has a very cool and interesting story. I think the idea is very original. However, the characters are kind of cliched..
Ai is that cute, weak but determined character that everyone else is inspired by and follows (plus being unique/special in a way
).
Hambart was the apathetic, mean, but secretly caring character that begrudgingly helps out the main character (but secretly enjoys it)
Scar, the robotic/logical character that's cool and calculated AND the big boobed, smiley, friendly character in one....
I'm sure we are going to meet a few more caricatures as the anime goes on....

I'm just saying that if they took the world that this series takes place in (maybe even the story itself too) and changed up the characters to be a little less cliched, it would be a much better anime.

Plus, it hasn't even finished yet. It isn't even half way done. It could get much, much better, or far, far worse from this point on..

Aku no Hana jumped by a full 2 points within a week of finishing, Oregairu also had a large increase of around a full point too, the early scores don't really mean that much imo, I' ll still rate um anyways though, good stuff.

I only watched only 4 episodes so far. It is good, but I don't think it is underrated.

Personally, I think Senki Zesshou Symphogear G is the most underrated anime this season, not just in score but also in popularity.

I don't understand why so many people rate a show before its completion. That never made any sense to me.

Anyway, as of right now I agree with your statement. This is definitely one of (if not) my favorite anime of the season. Would like to see otehr people enjoy it too.

Because it's not the plot of a story that matters, it's how you tell it and the consistency of the story from beginning to finish.

I rate from the very first episode because it's easier to get a round rating that way. Every episode I finish, the opinion from the episode before is still there in a mark out of 10. Especially with seasonal watching, where I've had a week of watching like 20-odd animes, it can be hard to remember how I felt about the last episode and the series in general. It's especially hard to remember how I felt about 12 or 13 episodes over literally three months of following the anime (I really doubt anyone'd remember their feelings during the first episode after all of that time), whereas with my system I can practically judge my opinion with every episode I watch. Rating as you go just makes way more sense to me.

I agree that so far this show has been underrated. I assume that the scores will at least hit 8.0 when the series is over.

People should really stop taking ratings seriously. They don't tell anyone whether they would like the show or not based on a few numbers that people don't give much thought on or worse people who just slapped it on for no good reason.
I never been a fan on judging a series with numbers. I rather read a review from a trusted reviewer, who knows things that are good, bad, could be improved on etc. and goes into depth about those things and are not biased. That alone would decide whether I would check it out or not, no need for numbers.

I give a show that I start watching a rating around the beginning or middle of the season. This rating is not the permanent score, it's simply the feeling i'm getting from the gut at the time of watching.

While I agree that a good review is worth more than a number, saying "stop taking ratings seriously" is really just saying you don't think anyone's opinion but your own matters. Ratings exist for a reason; use them for that reason and you'll find them useful.

Anyway, Shinsekai Yori as mentioned, and also Humanity has Declined are both anime that jumped over 500 ranks on this site after they finished airing. I don't see this show doing quite that well, but if it continues to get better as it has been, its score will definitely improve along with it.

The ratings for the most part are heavily based on each persons personal likes/dislikes. A person who wants nothing but little girls messing around in a school MIGHT (just giving an example) put something like "Dropped 1/12 Rating:1".
I usually try to finish a series before looking at it's rating because most of the time, series that I like get rated lower than what I think it should be (ex: this one). Although, people still feel the need to say crap like "I'm dropping this from 7/10 to 6/10 because of _____"

But just remember, ratings here are mostly opinion based rather than what I like to call, a reviewer mindset (at least, that's what I'm getting from discussion posts). Don't let the score influence whether you think a series is good and do not let it take away any enjoyment from watching it.

Exactly. Ratings while airing are done by the same people who write reviews after one episode, drop after episode one and feel the need to rate after watching 1/13 of the content, and the rate as they watch people > > That rating means nothing. Take it with a grain of salt even after it's completed.

I don't rate until the end nor do I rate if I drop something.

However, this anime's rating is fairly accurate imo. It is def not a 10, no where near a 9, maybe a 8, possibly a 7, and anything lower just wasn't your genre to begin with. Opinions.

Bingo.

This series is really good but DEFINITELY not everyone's cup of tea. Also, kinda rushed vs. the LN. However, because of the source material, it had one of the most memorable concepts/settings in the last year. And the ending song.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

It only makes sense to rate an anime as soon as you formulate an opinion about it... Would you keep a neutral score on Bleach for 365 episodes before rating it?
No, you'd do that a lot earlier, as soon as you could tell if the anime was good or bad, same thing applies to one-seasons like Kamisama no Inai.

But "Oh, your rating doesn't truly reflect the anime's worth", then it's up for the anime to change my mind and my score, that's how it happens. Some anime are good from the start, some others aren't
It's not only the final episode that counts, but the anime as a whole from the first episode to the last.

This.

I don't understand why people don't understand why people rate before a show is done airing. A show is not its final episode, it is every episode. And do you people really think that people who rate before a show is done won't change the score if their opinion about the series changes by the end? All they are doing is rating what they have seen. That's why there's an episode counter. Hell, even reviews on this site let readers know how many episodes the reviewer has seen so you aren't misled into thinking they're judging everything.

In addition, most shows - not even limited to anime - don't significantly change in quality over time. The opinion you have about a show at the halfway point is likely going to be the same one you have at the end. Yes, yes, some series will break the mold and get really good over time, I'm sure you can come up with multiple examples just as I can, but if you really think about it, many shows keep a consistent level of quality.

@Redfoxoffire
I'd say that certain genres, usually drama, end with a climactic part that can change people's opinions. Sometimes it's slight, but sometimes it brings meaning to the entire series.
A lot of the top shows were built climactically like that, like Steins;Gate, Clannad, Madoka. Aria the Origination hit me like that, raising my score from a 9 to a 10 with that final episode. But yeah, I think most shows show a significance in ratings towards the end.
There's always that romcom that people are hesitant to score, because it may get a good ending or a shit ending, or a mystery/thriller that has yet to reach the climax.
But yeah, plenty of of crap stays crap too, and there are a lot of shows I've kept my ratings from halfway to the end, or even from beginning to the end, especially when they're not built up to have a climactic ending.

tldr; different shows have different story formats, and some can have mindblowing endings, others are consistent, etc.
Mm but yeah, to keep on topic, I think in Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi's case, Humphrey's passing was kind of the high point and selling point for the series (until maybe ep12), and it kind of slowed down after that. I'm glad I stuck around for the ending of the series though.
