I agree with most of that.  However, that they cut scores from people who haven't seen 1/5 of a series is a good step.  That means, with most anime, those who have only watched one or two episodes won't impact the final score.

At least, that's how I understand it.

Yeah...at least something to cut out people scoring an entire anime based on only surface level impressions. I mean...sure I've dropped shows after one episode before, but I don't have delusions that I can speak to the show as a whole. I'm well aware that some people might dig what I don't.

I suppose it probably balances out on some level at the end, so it's really affecting the initial score.

The score doesn't mean much anyway. I mean No. 50 on the all time charts is barely 0.5 above No. 350.

That's a fair point...most of the scale isn't really utilized. I'd be curious what a bell curve of the overall scores for that place looked like. I'd bet the vast majority are between 6.5-8.5...only 20% of the scale.

Though it's much worse on manga sites. I remember a friend was talking up The Promised Neverland for having a 4.9/5 on a site we use...which was nice and all, but then I realized I've never seen a manga on that site rate lower than a 4.5.
