UPDATED ANIMETACRITIC OUT NOW

Anime has nothing resembling a Rotten Tomatoes that collates what critics thought of each anime. A separate ranking for critics that complement the user ratings of something like MAL’s top anime list. So I made one myself. I took the MAL scores from 82 different anime bloggers and reviewers and collected them into one big table to see which came out on top.

Notes:

The ‘seen’ column is for how many of the 82 bloggers have seen and rated the anime. The ‘score’ column is the average score between those that rated it.

Because this comes from MAL, it uses MAL’s dumb Japanese naming scheme. Sennen Joyuu is Millennium Actress and so on.

There are 2141 entries here. I discounted titles that had less than 5 people who had seen them.

This post is split into 3 pages. You can jump to the second and third pages at the bottom of the post.

This is no more or less a ‘correct’ score than that of the general user score. It’s still all subjective. This is just a different metric.
