This show was at an 8.84 just a few days after the finale and now it dropped down to a 8.78 in just a day or 2, what happened?

Did a bunch of people just decide to vote bomb the show?

It always happens after a show finishes. The score gets massively inflated and then dropped slowly a couple weeks after it is finished.

Lol, bro, why are you jumping to conclusions? It's just that the total score updates after the series ends, and when people mark it as "completed" with the final score, so the overall score decreases/increases. Most people don't rate when the show is airing.

You had people like me who’s score was inflating that number at first, I’m a manga reader who had it rated at 10 since the first episode. Once it finished, everyone entered their final scores which inevitably dropped the score.

Many people wait for the show to end to give it a score. Thats why it mostly changes a lot after it ends.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

many people put it a 9/10 at first but after finishing the show maybe they change their opinion (it's just a normal thing)

This is normal and will probably go down even more, also i think last episode was not that good considering the previous ones. For me it was a very good season but I prefer the first one

That is pretty normal I feel like.
alot of people who loved and anticipated the show gave it a 9 or 10 score immediatly, while people who were more reserved with their scores wait until the show is over.

The village went on for waaaay too long. A complete 180 on the pace. 1 season for 4 layers to 1 movie for 1 layer to 1 season for 1 layer. It felt prolonged longer than it should have been. And the ending just felt meh compared to episodes 9 10 and 11. I also wasn’t a fan of the old cave raiders (Vueko, Belaf, etc) and I couldn’t imagine how they actually safely got to the 6th layer. Just wasn’t a fan of all of that. Still a great season though

anything above an 8 on MAL might as well be a 10. it only takes a few hundred people to view it as an 8 to "bomb" the score.

imo there's tons of big Made in Abyss fans who didn't even know a new season came out because it came out on Hidive. and even if they did watch it, that doesn't mean they are avid MAL scorers.

I think the pacing/progression slows down for a reason, the dangers, mystery, and size of the layers increase drastically, so they’re a bit more cautious at first. Theres only floors 6 and 7 left, and I personally wish we got just a bit more time in those other layers to explore. I can see how people think the time in the village was too long, but it was introducing another main stay character, and it introduces a lot more nuance to the Abyss than I think we realize. The pace is justified in my opinion, but it objectively slows down for sure. But if I remember correctly the manga spent a bit more time showing the struggles of their descend, the anime didn’t depict that as much sadly.

I also think that it would be an okay pace if we weren’t introduced to the fast pace originally. I would have loved to see more of the other floors explored, monsters, and other dangers.

That’s true, I think it’s really hard to balance between their goal to get to the 7th layer, with the need to avoid danger as much as possible, and the urge to explore and spend time learning and gathering knowledge of the Abyss. I haven’t started it yet, but I got the game that came out Binary Star, and I really hope it allows you to explore the layers more, and goes into deeper finer detail.

Well not everyone watches shows weekly as they're released. And I guess people that binge it all at once have a more objective view and would give it a more honest score.

That’s exactly why I wanted to get the game as well. Being able to explore the layers would be so so cool. The only thing that’s holding me back from getting it is the 60$ price tag for a game that looks like it came out in 2004

it makes sense. There are a LOT of reviewers who wait until a season is finished before putting there reviews. Only real die-hard stans and die-hard haters rate right away, so I feel like the 2 weeks after a season is done, the true rating is revealed.

More people are adding their scores since it finished. It's obvious that it wasn't always going to have the same score.

The irony of this comment coupled with your other scores for other highly rated anime makes your above statement confusing. We have a bunch of newer anime in that range why do you think Mia should have a way lower rating than most of them?
