Do you agree that Dr. Stone deserves "1" Appalling ?
| We all have different standards on what we value and what our preferences are. For instance OP, our affinity is negative. It's quite clear we view anime very differently, and there's nothing wrong with that. The vast majority of people love Dr. Stone, so it might seem strange to you that a select few dislike it. Just keep in mind everyone thinks and seeks something different and have varying levels of experience. I quite dislike the show myself honestly. I understand it. I just don't find the story that interesting or compelling. It's a neat premise, but it's immature execution doesn't appeal to me at all. All the characters are one-dimensional and trite. The comedy is very poorly done and very prevalent. I don't think its use of science is that original. The art style and designs are rather ugly to me, and the animation is mediocre. Even though I don't find much value or enjoyment in the show, I'd at least give a rating of no higher than 3 based on production and technical aspects. I find it funny that lots of people are simply writing the review off as a troll. Giving Dr. Stone a straight up 1 is really questionable and pushing it, but the review itself is quite solid in my eyes. He justifies his distastes and shortcomings of the show, and I agree with most of them. I'm not gonna shift through every one of Karhu's reviews to see if he's truly legitimate. Besides, I think the outrage comes mainly from his score than the overall wording of the review. |

| Not a 1, but the reviews are not unjustified as the writing is suspect and there are a lot of stupid things about it. It has gotten better with the current arc and thank god Tenku and Yuzuriha are out of the picture. Such shitty characters, new cast is way more likeable |

Shamo- said: This is the worst phase MAL has ever been. Ever since these wannabe Polyphemus like Karhu & Cringeyman started spamming all seasonals with 1/10 rating reviews just for sake of attention. I feel like the site will never be same Yep. Reviews mods have gotten to them before but seemed to have given up at this point. They just throw up their hands say "well he didn't type the N word, must be ok". |

TommyBoy185 said: Yeah I don't think he's a troll at all and most of what he said in his review of Dr.Stone was true and it fell like that's genuinely how he feels about the show. I like most of his reviews even tho he shits on some shows that I love every now and then but hey, everyone's got their opinions.go on karhus profile and read his explanation about the rating system in combination to dr. stone. You will see he is not a troll. I dont understand why so many of you have a problem about the rating of 1. Read the god damn review, in the most points he is right about dr. stone. Or read for example karhus critics about liz and the blue bird or maquia. you will als see here that he is not a troll.

| In don't think he's a troll. He's just too harsh in giving scores to anime he don't like. (Gintama for example) |
| Why are these random no post accounts coming to defend the review? If you people genuinely believe that there isn't trolling going on and he is just this misunderstood reviewer that is just very critical you are rather naive. Go read his Fairy Tail and Goblin Slayer reviews if you had any doubts. I'm sure he's enjoying this attention now that this has been brought up. |
|
| People hate on popular shows, hell, even AOT series has those Elitist Jerks who thinks their opinion is better than everyone else. EG: "1/10 bEcAusE, juSt beCuase" And don't forget that you're on MAL, this site is full of those people. It's nothing new here. |

| Should I troll in the troll bait threads? It is kinda idiotic to be logical in the troll bait threads. Well, it will depend on my mood. |
| A lot of reviews here have similarities with Amazon reviews. They are dodgy, unhelpful and often plain wrong. Don't read reviews. Trust your own judgement. I cannot say whether they are justified or not since I just watched the second episode, which was okay. The show is not as smart as it wants us to believe it is but so far it has been moderately fun (mostly the Robinson Crusoe kind of fun) |
| Karhu brings up some points that I agree with. Despite this, I find the show to be relatively decent. I can enjoy some aspects. Unlike its shitty Shonen neighbor this season... |

Mattinator95 said: most of the reviews i have seen , or comments ponder and expect if it was a seinen it would be different, like being a seinen automatically makes a series "Serious' https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/42/Seinen theres alot of shows in that list that are not serious at all Because first anime that comes to their mind when they see/hear seinen is Berserk. |

| The show, especially this first arc, is quite alright in my opinion, nothing special. Everything in it is a bit too convenient. And really the last thing it needs is the Rick and Morty crowd 'BuT iT's So SmArT', no, it's not. The show isn't absolute garbage to be rated a 1, but I could see people easily rating it 5 or lower. |
| Some reviewers, throw 1's at every single anime and then you'll check to see their reviewed animes list and there's be some random old harem anime like School Days rated a 10. Everyone has different preferences so it's to be expected. |
| No one is questioning 8-9/10 ratings, so I'm not going to question 3-2-1/10 ratings. Also 5 is average, not bad and its not harsh. Deal with it. |

| The 8.22 is really underrated in my opinion, I would expect 8.6+. It's high quality all round. |
| Personally, I agree with the review at least, with most of his arguments. Even tho I belive that DR.Stone is a big 7/10 imo. |
| Imagine going to MAL for reviews. That's almost as bad as getting your opinions from anime youtubers. |
| dont read the reviews on MAL, they are mostly unhelpful. if you want to know if the anime is good, try to judge it from the 1st ep or go to youtube( they seem to be more fair there) |
  |
| It's bad but it's not 1 bad. It doesn't necessarily deserve all the really high ratings either imo. |

Mullerio_ said: BlakexEkalb said: Mostly because the average score is closer to 10 and not 1. If average MAL scores were around 4 and someone scored it a 1 it would not cause a big deal, but if it were scored a 10 it would be barraged with hate. That and a 1 is either a biased score or a BS score since the only shows that deserve a 1 have to be purposefully trying to make complete trash. Yea many people use the rating system the "wrong" way or at least not the way its supposed to be, a 5 should be average so a "decent" show but there are so many people thinking a 5 is a bad score and that is simply not true. But i disagree a show can be a 1 if its just a very very bad show that i also did not enjoy, 1 is basicially a 9 just the other way around, so i think its a score that should be given to shows that are simply extremely bad, similar to a 9 wich is for the extremely good ones (10 is for the really special ones with a equivalent of a 0 wich does not exist on MAL). Some 1 shows maybe have some monior decent points but they cant outweigh the bad ones, similar to a 9 wich has some flaws but they get outweigh by the positives. And that's the problem with mal's ratings system. You can give a show a 7/10 which is a "good" show according to mal, and likewise a 9/10 as a "great" show. This is already unrealistic, shouldn't a 9/10 be at least amazing, not just great? This is probably why mal's scores are usually much higher than other sites. |

The show is not as smart as it wants us to believe it is but so far it has been moderately fun (mostly the Robinson Crusoe kind of fun) If I may, I would say that reviews are useful in at least one specific case: when the average is low but some good reviews are placed in the top reviews, then one might actually choose to watch the show. Subete ga F ni naru is a good example of this phenomenon (and this is likely that other "non-standard" anime suffer the same fate), and since I use this criterion from time to time, I assume that it might be the case of other people. |
| On MAL, you have to take scores at a median because you’re going to either have a hand full of trolls that put out bogus reviews to fire people like you up, or have elitist snobs who think their “taste” is so refined that they’ll give crappy scores because an anime doesn’t meet their unrealistic standards. Or to put it bluntly, don’t get bent out of shape at every 1 score and don’t believe in all the 10 scores either because your true answer is somewhere in-between (and in my honest opinion, Dr. Stone is far closer to a 10 than a 1...I’d probably rate it an 8 at this point). |
| I mean, everyone's rating system is their own, so a lot of the time you just have to accept the difference in opinions. This guy isn't serious though. Don't pay his review too much mind. |
Xstasy said: I think that your taking reviews and scores too seriously. I enjoy reading Karhu reviews they are always entertaining lol. I just read it. It was not entertaining and barely had any actual connection to the anime it was reviewing. He goes on about penis jokes, virginity and shit like that......which hasn't happened as far as I am concerned. Most of the review was just waffle, pretty much an irrelevant filler of a review. |
| Like I care what other people think, plenty of stuff out there that’s highly rated that I think’s utter tat. Just go with what you feel and don’t glamorise people who agree with you as you’re just alienating people that disagree and just look like a loser tbh. |
| I have watched till 6 episodes and dropped it. I dont think its a bad anime by any means but the MC just bores me. I was interested in the petrification and the MC's creativity but the characters just don't have an interesting personality to speak of. Also, I was looking forward to see how the MC experiments and figures out the truth between what happened to the world one experiment at a time but we already run into a good guy vs bad guy situation where most of MC's mind is spent on trying to defeat this guy. Things may change in future episodes but for me my interest kind of hit a roadblock. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| How DARE you guys have a different opinion than Karhu-senpai! Having differing opinions is totally unheard of!!! Though I'm sure it warms his heart to see how invested you guys are with his reviews. :^) |
