a question for the novel readers, does the story get better? honestly for now it just feels so random, and not in a good way. the characters are generic as well.

but i love the soundtrack, direction, art and animation, so here's what i want to know. is there a bigger plot that is more interesting? or are next arks better than this one?

even this ark was themed well, even though on paper it was extremely stupid.

in short i really want to like this, but the story and characters are just not doing it for me...

I'm watching just because it's shaft + nisio anime, but i have the same complains as you. It's really generic and the characters are boring af(except doujima). I expect it to become good somewhere because it was created after monogatari novels, so i'll trust nisio isin for now.

I think its better to wait for more episodes rather than just judging it from the first three. It has a lot of potential and Im excited to see more of it. Of course you could find it generic at first but come on. Its Nisio Isin he's kind of the master of subverting anime troupes (You can see that evidently in the Monogatari Series) I think it's better to wait

I pretty much have the same complaints. It feels really random and sometimes unrealistic. There are times when the dialogue drifts away from the topic at hand which makes everything much more confusing (especially with the randomness and pace it's going at). Is this an anime original or does it have a novel? I might start reading it if I have time.

mal says it's from a novel, but i'm getting almost all the enjoyment from shafts work. why would you want to read it if the story and characters are it's downfall at least so far?

I'm very sure that shaft has probably elevated the novel; the anime looks and sounds amazing. I just like reading, and I really wouldn't mind finishing it before the anime.

Oh and u haven’t even seen Monogatari.sad.
Imagine dropping it after the 1st episode what is that
As my second favourite anime and a masterpiece-it took me 7 eps to actually love it and it’s slow in the beginning. But go off i guess, enjoy your shitty harems
You don’t even know what KyoAni is too like-

As some have already said, they are watching the anime as a fan of Nisio Isin’s or studio Shaft. Nisio Isin’s work is not for everyone as the characters are mostly weird and is very dialogue heavy. Before getting any true opinions on the anime I’m waiting to see how it will progress as Isin does a great job subverting his characters and their tropes. If your not a fan of it now you probably won’t be later on.

It hasn't gotten much better. Pretty much the same writing style that doesn't really hook everyone. While the theme is pretty detective boys, it's not really about mystery and analytical mind games, but about aesthetics in every sense of the word. It almost feels like a kid's play at some points (which might be what they aim for, considering the age range of the characters), with a good amount of exaggeration in their theories and a aim to make "beautiful" solutions. For me, this doesn't make sense, or it simply doesn't work, because I might be way too attached to materiality to understand this near obsession with beauty that the show plays around with. It's just awkward.

I do think this last arc (ep 6-7) about paintings was a good one, better than previous episodes for sure. But still, nothing particularly sticks to me and I wouldn't be left with any thoughts or worries about this show if I dropped it now.

i get that too, but there is a place for that. the whole point of a mystery show is to make sense.

you shouldn't make something that doesn't make sense, in a genra that is about making sense of things.

the answer is half the mystery.

honestly I only care about how cute the boys are the rest I barely care about I saw this in another comment for this series it’s 80 precent based off the pretty boys part so I don’t care that much I mean I might be confused but then figure it out (oh also I like anything you throw in front of me so I guess my opinion doesn’t count anywhere)

Seeing as you're at episode 3 (looking at your list) the most recent episode still has the same issues so I'd probably say it doesn't.
