Well i usually like other world anime so i was like "hey this might be good i mean characters look decent even tho synopses is nothing special this might be good"
So i watched the first ep and......it was boring AF
Its literally typical magic anime
It felt so basic and the story wasn't good...something wasn't right

Well i can't say this anime will be trash till the end...but first ep was disappointing maybe it gets better later on

Two words: Character designs.
When you these type of character designs its always bad. When u add fantasy to it it gets 100 times worse. Instant fail.

I saw this coming simply by the first cover art



Could anyone look at this and honestly not see trash

BTW: I haven't seen this anime, I just saw the MAL score and wanted to express that I CALLED IT somewhere.

The main problem is that the LN was released in 2003 (back when magic-themed literature was considered a rare species), but the director didn't do anything to make it adapt to modern standard.

One good example of a well-done modernization was Parasyte: the Maxim, where the character design of some of the characters were redone to not make it look like stuck in the 80's.

But what's wrong with designs? I can tell just from pic above redesigns were by same guy who did Trinity Seven.

Not like LNs weren't always a garbage tier literature.
Also modernization is worst part of Parasyte. It would be better if it was still set in 80s because now Japan is full smartphones that would make monsters appear on the net and be much more known. In other words a plothole.
Iwaaki's desing are good, much better than onIce shit.

This anime is not the best but not trash also, It's an ok show for me. The visual was good, the plot was ok maybe it will get better later on. The I like the OP and ED. I like the concept combining magic and science. The character is pretty decent like your typical battle anime.
So overall I think in the future this anime will not be trash but it will be OK.

How is the phone thing a plot hole exactly? It's realistic if you ask me and reality will always trash whatever plot hole you can critically think of, because that's the way it happens in the world you and I live in. So no, it's not exactly a plot hole if it's done to fit the time it was designed into.

Also, do you mean the you being eaten would post a video or another witness? Hahaha if it's indeed you, are you gonna be that quick? You might as well just provide a video of your tour from the belly of the beast.

Like I said, clarify what you mean with the video recording and you'll be understood. The time it'll take for you to unlock your phone itself, to talk more of record what you want, you're already dead most likely. What's your point?

Now if it's a witness, then that's more plausible.

But if there would be more people they spread truth about monsters like this existing much faster compared to 80s.

That's my point, it'll be witnesses that'll do the sharing which he's to clarify.

Maybe it will be good later Just wait for the same thing happened with me and I think boring but you can not judge it from the first episode so wait until the 5 at least maybe later will become good :( Because from the end of the episode there seems to be more wonderful events waiting

Most likely. I can tell you it hasn't been very enjoyable through these first two episodes so far.

I don't know if the rating really is reliable actually. I don't know about this anime, but another anime from this season Nil Admirari no Tenbin also had a score below 6.00 and it's one on my favourite show this season. People are starting to rate things really harshly recently that a show like this one might have had a score of 6.90 3 or 4 years before now, based on the first few weeks.

People are finally learning how a score scale works and that 7 doens't mean average.

A 7 rating anime is an average score because there's always a higher percentage of people watching something they like opposed to the number of people watching something they don't like. And generally speaking, an user who watch a couple of seasonal anime tend to have it's mean score of seasoned anime higher than 5 because the user watch naturally the thing they like. And even if the user don't really like the show, he likes it enough to watch it so the score don't go far below 6. So it's just natural that the average score is higher than 5. It's a score reserved for particular series with a controversial reception (like school days).

The explanation to this recent phenomenon I can give is that maybe the number of veteran anime watchers exceed the number of noob watchers. And the more you watch anime, the less your mean score become. Apply this to the massive users who got experienced with anime these recent years and the average score just naturally go down.
