Manga/Anime You Read/Watch

[quote=Bioalchemist]didn't realize everyone was so into scoring. well if you want it to be uniform create a scoring guideline and implement it in this forum. We can make the scoring more uniform so it translates...but ultimately most judging is in the eye of the beholder unless you can somehow come up with a scoring scheme that is completely objective...though that seems pretty much impossible when it comes to anime. 1-4? yeah you have to be really bad. i do put inuyasha and DBZ in the 4-5 range though. i would prolly put yasha lower but sesshomaru is a bad ass. when i was teaching chemistry i remember giving a number of 0-2's. In most cases the work was incomplete or never turned in. so if i find an anime that fits that i would probably assign it a 0-2 ;)[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Meiyjhe] Aye, review scoring is stupid. People should change to 1-5 instead of 1-10 since 1-4 is not being used anyway.[/quote] Or just stop using halves and keep to whole numbers on the 10 scale. That reminds me. I don't use 4s too often. I use 5s a lot, but not 4s. I should use them more. [quote=xIchi] Well if it's just stupid, [b]then why do most schools are[/b] like that.[/quote] Because grammar. Seriously though, your point is really, really dumb. Not only are you merely guessing the scoring method of most schools, but you're also correlating correctness with usage/prevalence. I mean, just because most people in America treated slaves like dirt doesn't make it correct. A scoring system like that is really stupid. Try to change it on the off-chance that you get into politics. [quote=YayaFTW] Actually online ratings are better translated this way:[/quote] That wasn't an especially helpful list.. [quote]The point I'm trying to make here is that online ratings are heavily influenced by people's taste.[/quote] ALL ratings are influenced by peoples' tastes. The problem is that Anime and Manga is a more niche market that caters heavily to the fanbase. As such ratings become less reliable and should only be looked at as a gauge of the value of said work from the view of a single person. Aggregates like the scores on MyAnimeList are nigh useless. [quote]Using the lower scale would only bring imbalance [b]even though its more logic[/b].[/quote] Yes, its more logic.. It wouldn't bring imbalance because there was none from the start. If the balance is skewed heavily in one direction you can hardly call it balance.. [quote]Right now the scale is: 9-10 great / 8-9 very good / 7-8 good / 6-7 decent / 5-6 below average / 4-5 Mediocre.[/quote] I think you've mixed up the last two.. Mediocre is synonymous with average.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]I simply point out stupidity where I see it.[/quote]

[quote=YayaFTW][quote=Searz] Yes, its more logic.. It wouldn't bring imbalance because there was none from the start. If the balance is skewed heavily in one direction you can hardly call it balance.. [/quote] More logical*, sorry :D I think I misused the word "Balance" here. What I mean is that it's hard to change something that has been around for so long that it became the general consensus among the anime / manga community. In my country for example, most people don't know how to convert Fahrenheit into Celsius. If someone asks me about the temperature outside and I answer him in Fahrenheit, he'd probably understand that it's cold or hot, but he wouldn't know how exactly cold / hot it is. I'm pretty sure my example sucks because both Fahrenheit and Celsius are legitimate units of measuring temperature whereas our ghetto anime rating isn't "legit" compared to a full scale correct rating. [quote=xIchi] Note to myself: Proofread everything before posting when talking to Searz. Note to myself2: Do not try to actually talk to Searz. [/quote] I personally don't mind the fact that he corrects our english. I'd better know where I'm mistaken than be left ignorant. He's actually doing us a favor, I'm pretty sure he could just not bother correcting our english and getting straight to the point but we're the ones losing here. For example, I learnt today that "More logic" is wrong because "Logic" is a noun, not an adjective. [spoiler=Offtopic] Half the reason I enjoy debating in forums even though sometimes I say the most stupid shit one can ever hear, is because you always learn something from it. What I learnt from Searz' post today might come in handy in the future, and I appreciate the fact that he took time to actually correct me. It might even help me nail a date or something :P Imagine I'd meet a cute girl and we start talking and she'll be like: "I personally believe online ratings are highly influenced by personal preferences" And I'll be like: "Hmm, I'd say ALL ratings are influenced by taste and that is because.. etc." And she'll be like: "Damn dude u so smart" and I'll be like: "Wanna get a coffee after class? I'd be happy to talk to you about this whole personal preference controversy" and BAM, a date. [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=xIchi]Idm when ppl tell me if sth is wrong, but in this case he unnessecary highlighted it while not really responding to the actual arguement. 2 times in a row. His inability to actually discuss subjects was already shown in the Runaans debate, why did I forget...[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]I think searz and GMD are the best known grammar Nazis on Mobafire. Just let it slide off you. I consider myself fairly competent with the English language, but writing on forums? I just write however I want. There is a point of bad English that becomes unreadable though. So in some cases correction is required.

[quote=Bioalchemist]^ it is all my fault cause of me scoring the anime i most recently watched. back to anime i started watching: 'High school of the undead' (OH THE FAN SERVICE) and 'Zero/Fate' (starting a little slow but i think it has some potential)[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]HSOTD will.. well you basically just said waht it's about :p. Zero/Fate, ppl have been saying that alot was cut off and is only availalbe in the blu-ray :/[/quote]
