Attack on Titan
| I'd keep it as-is if it were up to me. Most MAL users don't know how to use half the scale anyway. |
Jatin587 said: I think it would lead to more accurate ratings. MAL already stated multiple times they wouldn't do that, and if you implement 0.5 decimals, people will then ask for 0.05 decimals, ect, anyway. The majority of the users already do not use the scale correctly, ignoring the 1-5 part... (Even you yourself, have barely 5% of your list on the lower half, so you should maybe reconsider what these ratings mean.) If you have enough entry, you will always feel like there is different sections of quality under a single score, with some higher and some lower. That's normal. If you absolutely do want it, you can use your Tags or Notes to do that, tho. Yurippe_05 said: Definitely yes. Same as above, you have 10% of your list in the lower scale. |

| I would say only form my point of view. Because there are many shows which is 6.5 to me but I can't give them 6 either so they goto 7. After rating and an average anime 7 I feel frustrated. |

keinboesewicht said: but if the number of shows is around 200 like in the case of @Jatin587 and @Yurippe_05 (and me) it makes sense that the average score is higher Oh sure, that's pretty much how it goes for everyone, including myself; we start with the popular/good ones before digging deeper. However, it's not because so that you automatically have to feel stifled in the scale. Yurippe_05 used the example of Chainsaw Man (7) and Hell's Paradise (7.5). Wouldn't Chainsaw Man be a 6 (fine) and Hell's Paradise 7 (good), with maybe what he thought was 6 before being a 5 (average) for him, in reality (or 8 and 7, ect.) ? In truth, i believe most people do not really think for themselves before attributing a score; you can often see users that are like "Peak! 07/10", or "Trash! 06/10". Personally, i really love to reflect on what i liked or not in a fictional work, and contemplate about my feelings for it. After doing so, i know without doubt what score i want to give. If one is confident in the way they feel about the series, they should be able to confidently attribute it a score, even if inside of the score multiple sections are created with time, and not feel the need for more. (And nothing stops the users from doing a rescale of their list; i did it multiple times, but never felt stifled.) |

| Oh yes, in fact, they should add a 0.001 scaling as well. I sure do want to rate anime as 7.471, etc. That would just be an amazing idea. |
 |
| yeah ill say so but,its gonna be complicated at first.. |
| I would approve of this, because a 10 point scale often makes it difficult to decide between 2 integers, that's why a 0.5 increment would be convenient. |
| i’m supportive also don’t mind either way |
 |
| Maybe if it was only available for people who have a mean score between 3.5 and 6.5 and getting out of that range would prompt a warning that you'll lose your privilege if you don't bring your mean back. MAL users already rate too high and if they added in half scores that would make the people who only rate 6-10 feel more comfortable only rating 8-10 since now they can maintain the same granularity while also feeling like they're "supporting shows" better. If you already rate high then half scores are only giving you something that you were refusing to accept the site was already giving you. |

| Nah. I think a 20-point scale is too much. 10 is the perfect balance. |
