We've made a few updates that you'll likely enjoy:
1. The average rating in each anime and manga has been updated slightly to account for both rank and rating; this way, the avg ratings will be a bit more distributed.
Note: We plan on updating this even more in the near future - specifically, we'll only list an avg rating once a minimum number of people have voted (probably 10)
2. You can now hover over the avg rating star image in the anime/manga entry pages to see the exact rating.
3. Avg rating now shows up in the alpha lists for tag pages (anime and manga), and the browse anime/manga alpha lists. You can also sort by avg rating on those pages.
4. 'Rank' now shows up in each anime/manga as well; the number listed is ranked out of all anime or manga in the database.
5. Rank now shows up in the browse anime/manga pages. You can sort by rank as well (this is how you'd see a 'top list' of all anime - but bear in mind that until the avg rating is far smarter, the results might look strange for the top ones). Rank does not show up on the tag pages as it doesn't make a lot of sense to be there.
Known issues:
-When sorting by rank or avg rating, alt titles show up next to each other; this will look strange given there might be a few rows in a row that are the same (or show the same rank, etc). There's no easy way around this right now.
-Avg rating sorting will be inconsistent in the top results as right now, if 1 person rates an anime a 5 and there are no other votes, it now has an avg rating of 5. Once we update for a min number of votes or weight even more, this list will be more accurate.
In the meantime, if you've never bothered rating and are able to do so in a fair and balanced manner (ie, you don't rate everything 5 always), please start to do so! Many series have lots of status markings but barely any votes, which of course will skew the lists.
If you like these features please consider donating, as it's the only way we can continue to develop new things in the future. :)
