Underrated ? No. 7.77 is a pretty good rating. Underwatched would be a better term I think.

I'd blame it on Funimation's lack of advertising, and that it's an original, so there's no manga that people can use to hype it up.

Some people might also be put off by the name Pierrot.

It's a shame though, 'cause this is THE best show this season

It's the opposite for me. Pretty surprised it was scored as high as it was (not that I care much about scores).
Seems like another style over substance one. The first episode had weak narrative and characters. Although I usually give anime more than 1 episode before I drop them, I've had no urge to watch anymore episodes.


That's your first mistake, it gets a lot better as the series goes on, especially in the second half

Yeah it really is underrated; I believe it will gain a cult following over the years.

Meh, lackluster ending kept this from being great. Talking about real underrated why not take a look at Taisou Zamurai?

Mf those series have below 7s on MAL. If anything they’re UNDERRATED. Akudama has nearly an 8 and is the talk of anitwt. It’s mid.

Are you kidding? its basically death note with among us gameplay and MHA setting. You mean you already can predict what the mystery is? or you just too lazy to understand the whole thing because you have smol brain?
Behold one of the lamest reason given by fanboys, You don't like it because it's complex and your small brain isn't capable of understanding it. Maybe your brain is small to see how dumb the other kids are and how that pink haired Loli gets away by doing anything

There are also reasons that they hate Talentless Nana because it is too edgy for them.Also why Talentless Nana came out of nowhere in Akudama drive topic?

Akudama isn't underrated but it is under watched. 7.8 is a pretty high score. If there's a show this season that I felt was underrated and and under watched this season it would be Taisou Samurai

Taisou Zamurai is great, by the way, have you seen how much his score went up? when he was on air he had 6 points and now 7.24, he deserves it for how great he was

Well the english dub is really far behind due to covid. Its only on episode 3 I believe. As the dub moves further along that will attract some more fans as well.I just started the dub today and am enjoying it a lot.

I did. I'm glad it went up. Its a shame that it hung around the 6.66 rating for so long because I'm sure plenty of people were turned off by the low score. I passed over it too and then decided watch it much later, after all the episodes were aired. It's a really good show. Its a shame originals like Akudama Drive and Taisou Samurai don't get more attention.

The anime medium should be more than just a place for adapting stories from other mediums. I'm sure there are great stories to be told that will never see the light because its too "risky"to invest in the.

I actually think it's overrated tbh. Everyone seems to be talking about it and it has a pretty high score, but I'm having a really hard time to get invested in this.

I agree, I think it is overrated (from personal perspective, quite a bit; from MAL's perspective, a little bit)
It's a couple of important elements short to hold its current score or anything above.
(sry to sponge off of that old quote, but I got curious contemplating your final opinion if you had finished it :b ... even if the underlying theme you described remains steadfast throughout the show)

Oh its completely fine, dont apologize :) i did not finish it though, i dropped it after like 3 or 4 episodes cuz I really didn't enjoy it. I hated the clichéd characters, the protagonist girl that just conveniently happens to be there because... Anime reasons and noone ever questions her even though she's so suspicious lol. The story... What story? There was none. The only good thing about it was the amazing art, I really loved it and the cool action scenes. But sadly for me thats not enough if there is no captivating story or interesting characters at least.

This was completely underrated before but after getting no.1 in multiple Anime Pages in social media for Fall 2020, it's starting to get recognized, rated well, and it's about get out of the underwatched category.

I think this anime is have it must to have. Yes, AD has no hype like JJK and Tonikawa but many really good anime aren't popular. It must have score 7.8-8.0 because have some issues.
Personally I give it 7 because plot is too dynamic sometimes and it is hard to catch all things that they say. Ending for me is kinda undefined. I would give a 8 but THEY HAVE NO NAMES. Am I the one who was annoyed? Maybe in other languages it was better but in Russian it was terrible to hear this

P.S. My favourite Cutthroat was turn into the villain . It kinda disappoint me

I don't know why this anime is so underrated.. When I Look The Rate and the hype of this anime this is really get slept on and get underestimated and also Akudama Drive Is Not Get more hype than tonikawa or Jujutsu Kaisen.
No, it's not underrated.This anime has horrible plot and weak ending. Even good action scene cannot hide the shortcoming. What a shame! The screenwriter ruined this anime.

On the contrary, it is way, way overrated. It is the silliest and most ridiculous thing made in many years. Yet people like it just because it is flashy and colorful, plot, story and common sense be damned. I never expected I would see in an anime, for instance, a "doctor" (spoilers for episode 6)
