It seems like they use cosine similarity.  -» http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=5645

I can't really say how good it is as a measure, as that's not my area of maths (EDIT: it's actually just a normal correlation, geometrically. I fail).  But what I do know is that the distribution of scores is NOT going to be uniform, neither is it going to be normal about the assumed average of 5, so they will have to somehow compensate for that.  There's like 5 pages in the thread, full of maths, and I really cbf reading through all of it (reading maths takes a lot of effort).

EDIT: read a bit more, seems like they want to use Pearson's correlation and scale the output from (-1,1) » (0,1).

It's also a good idea imo to also take into account some other things such as selection choice (genre of anime).... if they're not doing that already.

No, Heartless would have watched like 3x more than you.  His list is just incomplete.
