seems rational.
the ranking is be average score.
season 2 has one episode with a rating of 8.75
season 1 has 14 episodes, of which some might have a lower rating, causing the average to be lower.
it’s a flaw of the ranking system if anything.
dozo have a starfish.
-Best 1st episode (WTF cateogry)
-Best baseball episode
-Best video game episode
-Best WTF are you seriously going to animate Nagi reading for 20 mintues episode
-Best ending
LOL 😛 Nah, that’s Haruhitardism alright. Just put a poll out about, say, Haruhi Season 3 and have fanboys rate it 😛 I bet it’ll rate even higher than Season 2 EP 1 😛
i agree with the placement of hellsing and fullmetal alchemist. NANA im not too keen on honestly but i enjoyed hellsing and the baby eating ultimate OVA’s 10-20x more than the melancholy of haruhi. that and seras victoria is just incredibly hot and a vampire to boot. haruhi loses to that and the fullmetal alchemist manga was a MUCH better story than haruhi’s. i like haruhi and im excited there is a second season but fuck the fanboi’s who just want to rape her. there is much better anime out there.
This seems to be the norm for sequels. For example, everyone seems to agree that Code Geass season 1 was better than season 2, yet season 2 has the higher rating. Same thing for Gundam 00. Boggles the mind.
@boo: It’s just a rating for the series, and the rating system is pretty fair (there’s a huge formula for the thing – it ain’t just an average of votes! D: )
@Roy: It may well be, but S2 ain’t better!
@npal: Definitely. The Haruhi name gives awesome to a series, apparently. Oh, and these are myanimelist rankings, and Gurren Lagann is at #1 (which ain’t that bad of a choice, really).
@jersey: Lol, I’ve never watched hellsing, so I can’t really say much! D:
@PR: You’re funny!
@RP (lolwut?): Yeah. Though in time, they should drift down – 00 and R2 are only half a year old, whereas their predecessors are a year+ older.
Out of that broad an anime range I see in the list, GL should definitely NOT be Number one. It’s not a bad choice per se, but personally Number 1 is at least overrating it.
This is to be expected since this is exactly what happened in the beginning with full metal alchemist brotherhood where it started being ranked as a top 5 during the airing of the first episode to now at a rating of 8.48.
I never liked MAL rankings and this just proves that I don't need to start liking it any time soon. I'm reading comments at youtube about how the new Haruhi Suzumiya ED is better than the old one. My reaction: W T F?
Although Haruhi is good, I don’t think Haruhi Season 2 deserves a higher rating than season 1 because it’s around the same in my opinion…
Don’t pay attention to the overall rating because it usually does not show the whole picture… and besides, I highly doubt that Haruhi Season 2 will keep that rating at the end of the season. Just proves that Haruhi S2 is way overhyped…
Don’t get me wrong, I still think Suzumiya Haruhi is still a very good series… just overhyped…
Chikorita157, note that MAL’s rating system is not flawed. It’s more or less the same as many other rating systems. 1-10 scale, 1 being the worst, 5 being average, 10 being exceptional.
@IcyStorm, Chikorita157: When hype goes overboard, we get weird rankings on MAL. And yeah, the users always, always rank high.
A 5 should be average, so why is Mars of Destruction only a 3? It’s undoubtably horrible – every aspect of it is below even the lowest of standards, yet it’s only “very bad.”
Though on the other hand, the top anime have pretty decent scores (8.99 ~ 9.00 is always the top, so it’s not like there’s ever a perfect ten).

Haruhi:
-Best 1st episode (WTF cateogry)
-Best baseball episode
-Best video game episode
-Best WTF are you seriously going to animate Nagi reading for 20 mintues episode
-Best ending
Why isn’t this my favorite series again?

ok so im retarded. you did them backwards, the fact that haruhi s2 is over hellsing annoys me……HIGHLY.
After seeing these pics, you actually still have enough faith in the ratings to feel annoyed? O_o
It does make me wonder what’s on Number 1… I’m not sure I want to know…
Well, that’s funny.

Well at this rate it will never surpass naruto.

I hate MAL’s ranking.. ;_;
This is lol, but it should balance out in the future. 😛
MAL is one big popularity contest.
But what about LoG-NANA is a total <3 of an anime.

Yes, it’s called “less ED overhype, more actually good judgment”

It is the USERS that are doing this.
I guess you are right in most cases, but I guess this stuff always happen when the first episode of a very popular series airs.
@Minnie: K-ON! OP youtube comments.
In any case, Youtube <<<<< MAL standings < reality
