Are the users here similar to the fanboys that usually can seen in gaming sites? i guess i cannot trust the ratings then.

I mean, if you check the vertical bars in the rating system.....
you see that origination is being trolled by users.....

Aria-Natural

Aria-OVA
http://myanimelist.net/anime/2563/Aria_the_OVA_~Arietta~/stats
Aria-Origination
http://myanimelist.net/anime/3297/Aria_the_Origination/stats

if you watched the whole Aria series, you know that origination is better than natural. Aria natural has only one 1/10 and no 2/10 ratings. While Origination has about ten 1/10s and five 2/10s. Man..... fanboyism is all over.

You'll always have people who don't like a certain series whether their dislike is legitimate or otherwise. Taking a quick look at the stats there's only 10 people who rated it a 1 and 5 who rated a 2. The bottom half of the scores altogether make up less than 50 users. This is in comparison to over 700 ratings between 8-10. I wouldn't say it's a huge problem that affects much. At least not for this series.

It's pretty simple. The people who rated Aria 1/10 can't read or understand a language. Or use their eyes. You wouldn't enjoy the show either.

Harsh ^^

Besides in top30 anime differences between shows are about 0,01 so probably some otaku-freak-fans downgrade every show which is above their favorite.

Aria is really unique so there are only two ways of rating: you drop it after first few episodes so you can't rate it for real, or you watch everything and love it ;]

The problem here is that this series can't be low-rated like that.

Why?

If you give this seasons (the best one in my opinion) a 1 or a 2, you should have watched the prequels, then you surely gave a 1 to the first two seasons, why did you even watch them if you hate them? I really love this series, but to be honest, it is ranked #3 just because the low scores are received by the first and second seasons (because, naturally, if someone dislikes Aria, that person will surely drop the first season, then this guy won't low-score Aria the Origination).

Them, it is stupid and dumb to give a very low score to this, because you can't hate this if you liked the first to seasons, though thanks to this, this anime is top ranked via avoiding the real low scores (from people that really disliked it) with the first two seasons.

tl;dr: This show is a little over-rated to be honest, but if I could manage the ranking, I'd put this in the Top 10 for sure, it is really a great series, and it deserves a 10 in my opinion.

It's free-for-all anime ratings. On the Internet. On MyAnimeList, for Christ's sake. Stop taking it seriously, just go with your rating. Taking on rabid fanboys never pays.

Hating Aria is a crime.

For what it's worth, I have "HUGE" doubt about Aria before I start. Aria is my favorite series yet.

There's no need for that. Being unable to enjoy this beautiful anime is a curse by itself, whether it is by ability or will. I feel pity towards them rather than anger.

I would say a lot of people do

A) Only watch Aria the Origination and not the prequels
B) Watch a SoL even though they don't like the genre just because of the high rating

For the first one that is definitely possible. So many people just want to watch Origination without watching the rest. They haven't stopped to think of the reasons why it's rated higher.

Can't totally blame them for that since I often threw things on my list without looking for prequels or sequels when I first joined this site.

That's just for people who legitimately tried to watch the show, not for those who are purposefully rating the show lower to bring it down.

I think, some people do it on purpose cause no one knows about this series and it doesnt have a lot of ratings in the first place. Bad ratings influence the overall rating much more in this case. Poor stuff.
