The anime is really the best comedy of this year, the last time I laughed at a decent comedy of this style, it konosuba that gave us a very high point to isekai comedy anime, for my liking this anime did not deserve to have from 8 down.

I kinda agree that this needs a higher rating, but not +8.
Like 7.7~7.9 is more than enough I think.

yeah this is totally one of the best anime this year in my opinion, and my favorite isekai alongside with Konosuba.
but misjudged this days and people give an anime -6 just because it's isekai that's of course had to do with the disappointment of isekai in the previous seasons.
but i'm still happy that some people agree with me on this

Eh... For my tastes this is overrated at 7.5. Considering how many amazing anime are sitting on 7.0-7.5... This is currently above some great cult classics from the last couple years.

I was catiously tentatively optimistic at the start, but the last few episodes have been very meh for me so it's gone from a 7 all the way down to a 4.

But comedy is subjective so whatever. I still think stating this is the best comedy of the year when we had Kaguya-sama is a stretch though, considering the difference in production quality and how Kaguya actually hit some strong emotional beats in the later episodes.

This show is very one-note with it's comedy and has become a bit repetitive. I mean... it has tried to get serious at times in recent episodes but it just doesn't work, for me at least. There's no element of dramatic tension like Kaguya-sama had.

Also that ED is on a level of ugly that makes me wonder if it's meant to be an in-joke aimed at bad CGI.

I was referring to comedies of this style, kaguya is another type of comedy but hey, each with its own point.

It had potential to be 8 overall for me at the start, but its currently consistently hovering around 7.5, since the recent episodes drop in quality.

I hope it gets better later.

who cares about animation when the show is actually fun and the comedy is godtier
even second season of konosuba had a bad animation compared to the first season yet it had better score .
if this anime was back in the days when isekai wasn't as hated as now it will easily have +8.2

funny how you think this has an ugly CGI ED while kaguya-sama has the worst CGI in this decade lol
also this show is actually 100 times darker than kaguya-sama but still didn't got to the emotoinal part of the LN .

I actually found Kaguya sama annoying (I only read the manga). The main criticism I see of this anime is that the main joke is repeated often: the MC is cautious. But I think what makes it work, is that it's done in a variety of different and unpredictable ways. Like, in one of the eps, he bought an extra sword just in case, during a dramatic situation, which I did not see coming. In another ep, he destroyed a town to make sure the enemy was dead, which I did not see coming. Besides, there are plenty of jokes that don't rely on the MC just being cautious: like how he's an asshole to other people, the way he kept slapping the princess who tried to slap him.

I agree with you!
At least 7.8 is enough for me.
Sadly this score is lower than oresuki which i found too generic to have 7.77

It definitely does deserve this score. It's funny but it's generic/cliche writing, repetitive humor really shows the quality of the show, only seiya insensitive boldness with his cautious trait and Rista exaggerated facial expression are the core of entertainment. The supporting characters are worse, I don't hate them but it's just there's nothing to like about them. Seiya is just doing the same thing every episode, train, meet new enemy, repeat

Give it time, when the anime gets to that point people will surely stop seeing it as a "Konosuba clone."

Yes I agree it's underrated, I really like the comedy and it almost feels like a subversion of a genre.

Comedy of the year? Not even close, Kaguya-sama has a clear landslide to victory.

It deserves to sit at a 7.5. Its comedy isn’t that great, and it’s trying too hard to be a Konosuba-wannabe. I’d prefer if it started getting darker.

7.5 is not bad. Stop making these post ffs, Not every show that is under 8 in rating that you would rate 8 or higher "deserves" a higher rating

the reason why alot of second seasons have Better ratings is Because alot of the people that give the first seasons bad ratings dont watch/rate the second season

You should seriously learn how to rate, if you give this a 4, or almost any anime for that matter. I am not saying you should like it, thats completely up to you.
But an anime should get a four if it has no sound, or an actual slideshow that doesnt have any moving parts.

7.50 is enough for me. The plot is something new, it's your typical isekai route. the characters just went outside the routes and it's amazing. but to be enlisted as the best is something you peeps should think about. Plot is still the same "Isekai troupe route" nothings new with that brand the only thing is it's like rpg open world you can say no to a question that wants you to go adventure in the first scene. let's be practical just because they can do comedy doesn't mean it's nearly good. I'm surprised the score is nearly 8. if i were to score it should be 7.0

Well airing anime generally have low scores(unless they are sequels). If it finishes now its score will rise to 7.7-7.8 due to score boost(1/5 rule). 7.75 is a good enough score for this anime.

Consider honzuki which climbed from 6.8 to 7.5. It might cross 8 when it finishes due to score boost amd momentum combined. This is how it works for airing anime.

Believe it or not, people use different systems to rate anime. If that's how you see a four, fair enough, but... like I don't think my system is particularly abnormal. What you're describing is something that could not be worse. I'm curious what you think a 1/10 anime looks like if that's your definition of a 4 lmao...

Well in a 1-10 grading system I rate it like I would with anything else. A 5.5 would barely pass. I would never watch a '1' anime, but it probably would be a collection of drawings that my 4 year old niece would make.

To be fair, my flaw is that I never rate anime that I stop watching because I dont like it, but I wouldn't rate it lower than a five, unless it looks worse than some rip-off anime out of the 80's.

Edit: I stand corrected, apparently a few seasons ago I gave an anime a one, because it was the worst attempt of pro-feminism and men-hating form of entertainment I have seen up to a point it made me sick to my stomach. And in retrospect even that vile piece of trash didnt deserve that rating

You should just ignore others views, infact most of us just rate the anime higher than we should. Your metric is fair enough even if a little on lower side.

I’m pretty ok with it’s score atm.
I’d probably give it a 7
It’s good but I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend it
