It's not a work of art by any means, but this is basically School Days 2.0 where "hurrrrr durrrr I dun' like the MC, show is bad durrrrr hurrrrrrr." The anime industry be damned if they ever dare make an unlikable protagonist designed to be unlikable, shame on them! A lot of people are also hating on the random comedy interjection, but I bet most of them have FMA: Brotherhood and Hellsing Ultimate highly rated. Disgusted with the needless violence and sexual references? Why watch a show with its ONLY genre being horror? You wanted to be scared? Do people actually expect to be scared of cartoons these days? The one thing I'll forgive the haters on accusing is occasionally shoddy animation and art, but this is from a fairly inexperienced studio probably producing this on quite the small budget, they're not ufotable or Madhouse. Well I'd like to apologize on behalf of the studio for producing something with below-zero hype going for it so it was never destined for inflated scores like Ancient Magus Bride. Good luck crawling out of that cesspool of Chinese anime that people barely ever even glance at, and no, The King's Avatar was an exception, not the norm.

TL;DR: MAL scores before barely had any affect on the anime I watched, now they will have none.

I don't get it on the one hand you talk about how people expect to get scared by cartoons and on the other hand you created a new thread to rant about people, ranting about cartoons.

The MAL score is not absolute but it still indicates the average pleasure of a show. If you disagree with the mean, well then you are a hipster. If you agree with the mean then you are mainstream.

YOU don't speak for all.

Get over yourself and stop being a hypocrite.

Being honest: I don't trust MAL scores in general because once again, its a general consensus site. And it is contrived of course because people will rate stuff differently than others.

I haven't watched the show at all but because you mentioned about this I am just giving my two cents. Just don't trust any of them because it can really go either way for anyone.

This is exactly what makes you a hypocrite.

>I don't get it on the one hand you talk about how people expect to get scared by cartoons and on the other hand you created a new thread to rant about people, ranting about cartoons.


No where did I speak for you in my reply. This attitude is the reason why I am saying that you are being full of yourself. You think you are better than anyone else.

What? You don't think you are better than anyone else? Accusing the majority on this site for rating an anime less than you expected? What a joke.

Other people like other things, if you can't respect that why are you even in this community?

Lol OP, EoL is absolute crap, can't you see the inefficient animation quality?, the Ragdoll characters? the crappy jokes that makes me laugh of how bad they are?

btw, I don't watch "horror" tagued anime to get jumpscared or to get scared, there anime with GOOD horror that makes you feel a real sense of danger which is really different than being scared, EoL instead makes me laugh of how bad it is

You are right, if anything usually shows with very high/high rating on MAL, nothing but pandering trash

I just wish nobody cared about the scores for anything on any site really. If you don't know why each person gave the score they did, it's just an useless (sometimes even misleading) number. One written review or one video by someone whose taste you know are usually many times more useful than a million scores with no explanation.

Every time someone posts something like "I will never look at MAL scores again" I smile a bit lol

My tip would be: if you don't have the time to watch one or two episodes of the anime and want to know if they are worth your time, ignore the number,scroll down to the reviews and try to find a well detailed one.

I don't care about budget, inexperience, or any other constraints, just the end product. What problems occur in production only shifts the blame to someone else, but it doesn't redeem the work in my view. Not one bit.

7 gintamas in top20. Code Geass higher than Death Note. People rating everything 6 of higher.

If anyone still looks at the average then... I don`t know people still believe that vaccines give autism.

I actually think School Days is decent, but I just scored it that way cause of what they did to Kotonoha xD

Your first mistake was ever assuming MAL ranks as worth of anything but jokes, op.
Look at all those freaking Gintamas in TOP 20 (and I like Gintsma, by the way). Or Code Geass R2 over R1. Or Kimi no Generic as number 1. Lain and Evangelion (TV) waaaay down. Mirai Nikki actually over 7 (7,95 now). Etc, etc.
Look how almost everything goes 7.00 to 7.99 (like half or more of a database of 4000+)...

Not that I've seen the series, but to be fair, a poorly-written story is still a poorly-written story, no matter what the circumstance. Hence why people rate FMA higher than Evil or Live.

And honestly, I have a huge hunch that if I were to watch it, I would regret it. I mean, what sort of emotional depth can you expect from a title that sounds like something an edgy preteen would tweet because they thought it was deep? What, does it mean that evil never lives? In that case, literally any work of fiction that follows the typical Hero's Journey format could've and probably has already told you that, in fewer words. Frankly, if this title is any indication of what the plot is like, then I wholeheartedly agree with the viewers.

This show's worth an excellent rating of 4 if you don't mind the poor animation, horrible directing and useless music. I think the genre tag needs to be changed to 'Comedy'.

The premise is good and deserves better treatment.

Because there is "good" and "bad" horror. Ofc, everyone decides for themselves, where they want to draw the line for themselves and everyone has their own reasons.
I was absolutely disgusted by the uhm... it felt like the worst anti-game-propaganda straight in ya face and I hate such things. ^^" At the beginning, I was curious about because of the title and cover, so I gave it one episode and was disappointed, because of that and the edges. XD
Ironically, judging from the first episode, I think, I would have liked the protagonist.

i do not trust or believe in MAL scores and reviews 100% but they do reflect more or less the quality of the shows within a season, that's why i chose to watch them from worst to best following the scores (i only binge watch the shows when the season is over)

according to the scores Dies Irae, Urahara, Ousama Game and Two Car are worse than Evil or Live yet i dropped the first 2 and enjoyed the last 2, even tho reviews and scores say they are all crap;

I only came here to do a little research on what to expect before i start, but even if it had a 1.0 score and the worst reviews ever i would still check it out on my own just because the premise sounds interesting, so why would anyone care about scores? just watch everything and drop what you don't like.

i'm more worried about people with less than 100 shows watched writing reviews, that's like a newlywed giving advice on how to maintain a long-term marriage
