MAL is known for having loads of bot/spam accounts that exist solely to rate popular shows a score of 1/10. They can mess with the overall rating, and filtering them takes time to average the real score once more. They mostly targeted the Gintama anime's entries, but now it's possible they're prioritizing series with upcoming sequels. That... or it's just haters.
