I'm absolutely freaking twisted, sometimes I'll search a genre on mangadex and just browse it from earliest publication for new stuff. If I'm feeling especially juiced I'll hit "random page". That's how I found out abt Minamk Q-TA

I remember one time (a long time ago), I checked what the lowest-rated anime and manga were on MAL. It was about what you'd expect, but nothing was ever just 1 out of 10 (the lowest possible score you could give); there were 3s and 4s, sometimes even an errant 7 or 8. You'd also get 10s but I feel like those people were trolling.

Those middling scores though. I wanna know (or maybe I don't) the thought process of someone who comes out the other side of one of these and goes "Eh, 4 outta 10; pretty mid," or "Definitely an 8, but some things hold it back from true greatness."

It just goes back to people's worst/darkest fantasies, which everyone who has ever been on the internet is aware of by now, but hopefully not within someone they know

I can believe that for the more obviously fetishistic works, but every now and then I'd get a series which just seemed inoffensively trite and poorly put together, which somehow still convinced someone to give it an 8 or 9. Maybe there's more to it that I just wouldn't understand without watching it, some darker fantasy not immediately self-evident from the description, art, and negative reviews; but someone got something out of it. I'd be interested to know what.

To put myself on the spot, while I wouldn't file this under the same category of thing, I really liked Five Centimeters Per Second, which a lot of people tell me they found "Beautiful but boring." It's not some tasteless show whose very name is verboten, but it's the closest I've personally come to liking an anime a decent number of people have looked at me funny for.

But when I first saw Five Centimeters Per Second, I was going through the prolonged mourning period that sometimes accompanies a messy breakup, so watching something where the message was "Sometimes you need to let go of the past, or you'll miss the present that's right in front of you," stirred something within me and broke me out of my depression. If I'd watched it under different circumstances, I might've found it "Beautiful but boring" too, but instead I was in the exact right time in my life and frame of mind to really get something out of it. So yeah, I liked it, even if a lot of people I talked to don't.

Again, not quite the same thing we've been discussing, but I wonder sometimes if there's a story there when someone gives a middling show everyone else seemed to dismiss a good score.

I guess I could see why there'd be mixed reactions but those people are fools.

iirc for some reason in the last few chapters it spontaneously dives into an arc about someone getting raped. like it has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the story, there was no set up for it to explore anything like that, and its approach was extremely tasteless

i think its either like you said people just clicking with something because of some random reason like mood or not having seen other stuff in the genre, or theyre the kind of person that is ok with consuming complete garbage for whatever reason (theyre young, are a racoon etc)

I think what you have to remember is that a lot of people tend to avoid the extremely high or low scores as well, so a 4/10 for one person means kinda mid, and for another person it means “kinda bad”
