<p>According to users of the popular website "My Anime List" the review score of the popular "Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia" had dived nearly five points across a period of several days. Going from a  respectable 7.83 with over 16,000 votes to a far less impressive 2.65. </p>

<p>The sudden drop in score puzzled users and fans alike with many commenting that they were utterly baffled by the dip in the score. "I get that Fate/Grand Order isn't something everyone is into, but why did the score change now, the show has been on running for months at this point." wrote one confused commenter. </p>

<p>The answer to this question came several days later in the form of a post in the MAL's forums by user "Rinismywaifu" who explained, in his own words "I just wanted to show how easy it was to manipulate the arbitrary score an anime is given on this site as a sort of social experiment. By creating [a huge number] of bot accounts it was easy enough to change the score and make it seem like the fandom had turned on this particular anime for one reason or another. I wanted to show just how easily the anime fandom can turn on something that is seemingly popular."</p>

<p>As of writing, "Rinismywaifu" has yet to respond to the content of  said post, but the public seems to have moved on, as "Interspecies Reviewers" had suddenly become the most popular anime of all time on the site.</p>
