Hi, I read on SomosKudasai (One of the most important anime news site for spanish people) that Japanese audience dislike this show completely, it has a rating of 2 out of 5 from users on Amazon Prime Video and about 40% of reviews are 1 out of 5

I'm not watching this show but on mal has a rating of 7.7 which is quite good.

I'm curious why is there all this difference in rating between mal and the Japanese audience? What's wrong with this show?

There is nothing just how much I have heard that
One reviewer who gave 1 star to the series said "Protagonist thinks his life is over when he is just 28, which isn't half of the expected life"

What I am going to say is just my observation and my opinion, which has been gathered by watching some news and reading bit about the general japanese culture. So I can be wrong or correct or partially correct.

Why I think this show failed is, because japanese people do love their shonen shit too much. They like to compartmentalize their watching activities. And I guess bokutachi no remake doesn't follow anything. It's not a proper isekai, not a proper romance neither is it a proper comedy nor a proper drama. It's short of a mixed bag of everything.

The anime isn't something depressing neither is it totally hopeful. It sort of lies in between and follows a boring pine up of everyday event, even after he went back 10 years. There is no thrill factor to it I guess for them.

I personally loved the anime! Yes I might not rate it high critically. But I do enjoy the manga and the anime (haven't read the LN). I personally too have noticed a trend where my taste in anime doesn't line in properly with the taste of mmost popular japanese anime. I guess that's the difference.

Sorry for the long ass para which doesn't really give a definitive answer. But I hope you get what I meant by it. Again yes I know, what I said doesn't apply to all of them but for majority it's true. I mean if I am not wrong, one of the Japanese reviewer wrote that kyouya being depressed at 28 isn't right. Although he(the reviewer) is right, but for the scenario of the LN I guess it's true. What I even find surprisng is this anime not meshing with most anime watchers. Because the base premise of working in a dead end company and being tired at around 30 or late 20 is a major problem for japanese people. I mean "Nobitaformjapan" does several videos about it. You can check it out in youtube.

Idk much regarding that future ends at 28 thing but sometimes you are so hopeless or your conditions are so bad that it doesn't matter whether you are a young man or old or just a teenager it sucks .. everything seems like it's the end.

Your definition fits for most slice of life anime. But many of them do well in Japan.

I guess because SOL's generally get a happy ending? Or they have a comedic or happy twist to it ? Maybe because of that. I know not all SOL are like that but still.

Again as I said, although BNR doesn't fit any particular criteria but after that it doesn't offer any sense of hope or happyness. It's just the mundane shit continues even after the time leap. Maybe that's the reason ? (As I said)

I mean these are all speculation and observations by me by gathering some quick internet searches about the Japanese. So I might be wrong. My judgement of them can be wrong. So I am not giving definitive answer here.

Because all those sites with reviews were made for picky viewers/readers, who think that expressing their “important” opinions is a must-do thing. Can’t say more than that, though. Another possible reason is that Japanese people have something like, “Since this was produced my country, I have the fullest right to criticize it to my heart’s content,” which isn’t particularly wrong, but it’s still pretty weird to hear such claims from the guys who masturbate to bullshit, call every second-rate female anime character “可愛いいwww”, and, last but not least, consider the majority of otakus to be “creepy”. No offense to any anime community in the world, but the fact that some people were born in the country, in which anime is created, neither makes them good, nor makes their opinions more important than those of others.

From what I've read, some of the problems from the people who gave bad reviews were that the MC is still 28 but had given up too fast, not talented enough to be with the Platinum gen, and clinging to much on the Platinum gen instead of focusing on rebuilding himself/focusing on his own self growth.

Tbf, even though I disagree with most, I can see why people have a problem with him clinging too much on the Platinum gen(from my POV, he gets quite a lot of plot convenience but there's a reason for the story to take this turn). While he remakes a better future on himself, it might not be the same case for some of them.

That is good news, this anime is completely worthless in anything but being an uninspired time travelling fantasy that provides no interesting development but pandering to people who have given up with their own lives

Agreed, this show is low quality, so perhaps that's why they don't like it? It's cliche as hell.

Tbh I agree with the Japanese audience and havnt really got why people like this show. I did quite like it from the start but to me all the characters aren’t overly compelling or interesting, the plot line seems quite vague to me and like it doesn’t really have a clear direction. Just seems the epitome of meh to me, not bad but certainly not good.

Was that on Japanese amazon prime thou? Even if it was, amazon prime jp doesn't portray the overall acceptence of the show in Japan but rather it only shows that many amazon prime users disliked it.

Also people disliking a show doesn't mean they rejected it and Amazon prime doesn't reflect the whole audience acceptence as I mentioned before so change your post title to "Why they disliked it on Amazon prime?". Current title is misleading af.

Because it looks like a generic Visual Novel where everything was going perfectly and the MC makes everything go perfectly, at least till episode 8, which means the anime was bad from episode 2-7, which is easily enough reason to anyone to stop watching or hate it because it had 6 awful episodes

Most people are not complaining because the story or characters are bad. Most negative comments are coming from LN readers, because this adaptation is rushed (as most other LN or VN adaptations).

Because it hits close to home and people who can relate to the MC, wouldn't be fans of the conclusion the anime reached. I mean some will think "this happens sometimes" and move on having learned an unpleasent, but important lesson. While others, more sensitive people will be turned off and feel that it would have been better if this hadn't been made in the first place. Because it's to close to reality. And let's not forget, reality sucks.

As a drama lover, I've watched many titles of drama, most of them are slice of life dramatic shows and I've found this show is feaking annoying in each episode. The chemistry between characters, the overall story, and character growth makes me so annoyed while watching this and I should have dropped at episode 3 if it's not my friend who convinced me to follow up the entire show with him

I would recommend some cool shows with MC suffering from life likes The Hours of My Life and Life's Punchline. That's the show which raises the expectation on me for this show and u know it just feels disappointed

You can see the reviews here after translating them and check for yourself:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B098MYNN9R#customerReviews (They're under "details")

Basically they can all be summarized with either:
- You can change career at 30 so the protagonist doesn't deserve the remake (LOL?)
or
- Oh noes, he just creates something with the Platinum Generation! (Again LOL?)

So, reviewers on Amazon JP are even more trash than reviewers on MAL (which I didn't think it was possible) and this is yet another lesson to generally ignore "anime reviewers" unless you want to lose brain cells.
Humans are suspicious and jealous creatures. When they see something perfect, they wanna find a flaw.

You have much to learn if you have not joined the witch hunt to down vote every anime that rises above our underrated favorites. I am currently on a campaign to get Training with Hinako into the top 12. Shit taste is hard to fight though, it's like trying to talk sense to an army of hallucinating loonies.
