Highest Rated Anime Episodes Of All Time
by KurorihS-1673 | created - 04 Mar 2023 | updated - 05 Mar 2023 | PublicDisclaimer: It's universal knowledge at this point that rancid botting is part and parcel of this site. I'm not talking about just fandom wars, I'm talking about the "people" who will actually buy votes in the thousands just so they can downvote an anime's overall rating and episode ratings on IMDb away from its authentic ranking (lol). As you may have known, this occurred recently with Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War; we all witnessed a guy go out of his way to downvote the series with thousands of bots because it was sitting at a 9.5+ overall rating with all episode ratings in the range of medium to high 9s.
Fortunately, we tend to archive web pages, ingraining these true, real, actual ratings into the internet and allowing them to be documented in spite of a potential swarm of bot votes. But also, most of us know not to take these ratings definitively. Most of us are already aware of the possibility of diluted accuracy in them, to use them more as a general impression, and to even check their statistics page for any comically abnormal distribution of scores within the demographics chart indicative of botting.
