  Not in their lists but write a review about it on the anime page. Sorry didn't clarify.

  Why shouldn’t they? (We have a criteria that you have to have seen atleast 75% of the show before dropping to post a review, so that’s still a significant portion to view and form legitimate opinions/ratings on)

  Just from my experience, that last 25% of an anime could be crucial in analyzing a story. For example, the last bit of Planetes boosted my opinion of it from a 7.5 to an 8.5. It tied basically all of the strings into an unexpectedly satisfying conclusion. On the other hand, some anime like Toriko start with a recipe for success but lead it nowhere/fall flat.
  
  I really think the last 25% of a show could significantly change how a story is rated as a whole. Granted, there are shows that keep its pace throughout its entirety and a lot of reviews with at least 75% completion are still relevant. I just think they could also be misleading, and gatekeeping for 100% completion would yield more accurate reviews.

  oooooo okay
  
  hmmm thats definitely a tougher question... but I'm okay with 'no' as of right now. i think if one thing their opinion is worthy of being shared to an unassuming public than it should be one based on the entirety of a piece of media

  I take opinions and reviews differently. One could be like "Hey, tell me why you dropped it" while the other could be "Tell me how good the show is". With the latter question, I'd want someone who has seen the whole show.
  
  And also, I still love hearing opinions and I definitely consider them but I think they should have their own space. Just for actual reviews, I really think people need to know the material (whether they loved it or hated it).
  
  And thanks for responding :)
