You could say that for every other anime. Every other anime has its fair share of fans and haters. But the ratio for fans/haters for this episode is extremely high. Dunno, what you're getting at. |

It's really something that FMAB has not produced an episode that would have such high ratings and yet somehow is still on the top. Speaks a lot about it writing. |
"You are the result of 4 billion years of evolution. Act like it." "Why don't you eat make up? Then you can be beautiful on the inside too." "'Sick'? Call me 'twisted'. 'Sick' makes it sound like there's a cure." "What's messed up isn't my thinking, what's messed up is this god damn world." "The world isn't perfect, but its out there doing the best it can for us. That's what makes it so damn beautiful." |

A bit sad for less known anime like 3-gatsu no Lion or Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu that has multiple episodes over 90% but not enough votes (and I ain't even mentionning Natsume Yuujinchou, whose votes were already fxcked up by a troll and should also have many episodes rated over 90%, same goes for a certain episode of Kono Oto Tomare S2 which would have had a score over 96-97%) |

Sorry Gintama fans, I feel a bit responsible for it, but it's no longer the highest rated, it still has an insane amount of 5/5, but the damage is done. I know which episode now has that title, but seeing how it turned out, I won't tell it, eventually it'll come up to the list (or I hope so), and I hope that then it doesn't get manipulated neither. I know that having this list would lead to a little war of scores, as with the Top Anime List, but I made it out of pure curiosity, and I wanted to show you all what I found, so I really hope the manipulation in the episode discussions doesn't go any further. Also, to those who did downvoting (or upvoting) because of this: Stop being so butthurt! |

@mafd12: No worries. Your intention was good to begin with out of simple curiosity. There were certain episodes of other anime in the past with much more votes and with higher 5/5s that got hammered down by typical lowlives in this community. Have been long enough in MAL to see how it goes but will never understand the obsession. I think these are the types who would give death treats to animators, mangaka or VAs had they been in Japan lol. |

Are you serious? Did you even watch it properly? We literally see a short tempered shorty arrogant alchemist who thinks that alchemists are the ones closest to god despite not believing in him to a mature adult who realizes that alchemy is not the answer to his problems. All you need is an ordinary life and the people who are important to you. He also is reminded that humans are not just cheap chemicals you buy from a child's pocket money and try to resurrect on a whim. He realizes these stuff progressively not all of a sudden like some nakama power or Deus ex machina shit. |

The fact that you even managed to compile all that was astounding. How did you even do that? I hope it's not manually. I'm not going to argue about which episode of which anime should've been here and should've not been here. But I gotta say that those that are already here do deserve the rating. They were all great episodes. Two that stood out to me the most in the top ones would be A) SnK III pt. 2's episode 4 (Levi vs Beast Titan) where everyone was talking about it everywhere online; and B) Mob II episode 7 (Reigen's conference). I wanna talk a bit about Mob II tho... the season was filled with breathtaking moments like Mogami's fight and Shimazaki's fight. But I'm so so so happy and that the two episodes that took the crown for best rated would be Reigen's press conference and the sports day (tho I know the reason why it had such high rating isn't about the sports day at all). Both of those episodes have no fighting in them at all, yet they managed to get 1st and 2nd place of best rated MP episodes. People hyped MP a lot because it has great art and animation, but I think the true X factor of MP's popularity IMO is the mix between wit, emotion, and twist which can be seen in these 2 episodes. /ok im done fangirling about MP lol. |

Can't say I'm surprised though, Steins;Gate is my 2nd favorite anime of all time. I also noticed that both the series' most traumatizing episodes (12 and 23) we're on there. I guess everyone enjoys being emotionally devastated. Go figure. Moral of the story: if you haven't watched S;G, crawl out from under that rock and go watch it. You won't regret it.

This is a very interesting list, thanks OP for making it haven't seen any of the top anime but I expected them to be here from all the stories that I heard |

Steins;Gate Episode 14 added to the list. One thing I didn't detailed quite well (maybe because I didn't want to make the first post an infodump) is when one single episode enters the list: if it's an episode that aired some time ago, it will be added as soon as it meets the requirements, but if it's an episode recently aired, it will be added with the next list update, both for it to stabilize and for avoiding that its inclusion bugs the accuracy date. Another thing I had in mind is what to do with that kind of episodes where it's known the fact of a score manipulation, some examples: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=309243 https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1810723 https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1816718&show=50#msg58849989 https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=550039 <- Sorry for this one. As you see, it's pretty evident that there has been some kind of manipulation in them, and because of it they can't meet the requirements of the list; the most obvious is the Natsume Yuujinchou's one, where the downvotes are focused in the 1s, but there are harder cases as Chihayafuru's one, where the downvote it's spread to all categories, so we can't really know which votes are legit and which aren't. There's from where the dilemma comes from, the idea is to someway ignore the downvoting and letting them enter the list, but as not all the cases are clear enough, there isn't a good way to determine how it would be that ignoring; also, there's the fact that this downvoting happens to much more episodes, by the way, after publishing this list, the top 3 episodes here fell down a bit in score (and the Gintama's one, I can't stop apologizing for that); then applying this ignoring to just some episodes could be unfair, but trying to apply it to all is practically impossible, yet letting those clearly downvoted episodes out of the list can be unfair too. That's the dilemma. Tell me, what do you think I should do about it? |
