For a shonen it seems decent. Way better than higher rated titles like Demon Slayer.

So far imo this series is just fine at best. It’s one of those battle shounens full of cliches of the genre but that’s not necessarily bad. This kind of series tends to get better with time so I’ll stick with it and see where it goes. Also I think because since it’s from the same author who made Magi people tend to compare these two series and they expect more of orient.

I also find it palatable, but source readers consider this botched adaptation and visuals are below average

So far its generic and low quality.
I typically like shonen but this is mid at best.
Demon slayer is on a whole different level and obviously cant be compared to something like this.

The animation is not so great, the story could be interesting but the pacing is fucked.

Never watch demon slsyer before but when you say "way better" i dont think so. The animation seems bad for 2022 anime. I might rate it 6-5 out of 10.

I actually feel the score is higher than it deserves.but then again it does look like its not made for those over the age 10 or 12.but if thats not the case then it deserves to be put thru the shredder ..this might be an unpopular opinion but i get the feel that the people that praise it like this shitpost does are either around the age i mentioned ,or arent able to tell a difference between show like orient and something like demon slayer for example .. which then raises the question of ,the level of intelligence and so on.

Has it gotten any better? I watched 2 eps and I'm struggling to find any enjoyment in it. Might leave it until it finishes to give it another try, see if ir improves.

I know English isn't your first language, but nothing you said makes any sense. If you posted in your native tongue I could at least run it through a translator.

don't sleep on this because of the animation and the meh start, it gets very good, with good character development, especially musashi, good team based combat system and great fights, it gets better and better with each arcs, so far it has a lot of potential to be a great battle shonen, i suggest to try the manga if you are interested, the art is great, definitely my favorite ongoing battle shounen atm along with world trigger.

I think it is because the anime is just bad it is cheaply made show with a bad story and bad characters.

I also have a friend of mine who also reads the manga and says that the Story is bad but the art style is good which is not what you can say about the anime.

If you like it, just continue watching. People from the Magi fandom is just toxic and keeps comparing the two. Yes the animation is bad but the story does have some twist and turns, making it interesting (kinda). This type of anime is usually going to get good after literally 6 or 7 episodes. And to people hating or harassing others who like the show, your opinions don't matter because both of you guys have different preferences.

The rating is pretty much fitting.

This is the most cliche shounen out there. Almost everything is predictable.

Don't even think of comparing it with KnY, KnY actualy has a good story that you get invested in and you get emotionally attached to the characters and their lives right from the first episode and this wasn't the case with Orient. I actually find Mushashi a lot annoying.

It's still too early to judge Orient though, it does have room to get better, I mean it has just started, the 3rd main character was introduced in 4th episode.

But if you judge like you would any other new anime, Orient is performing poorly. The animation is nothing exceptional, it's just normal, nothing bad, nothing good, just fine. The concept is good but still it feels too generic and the tropes are too cliche, we have the usual power of friendship trope, cliche dialogues, cliche MC, cliche female lead. The MC is the most cliche shounen MC. In the start it didn't offer much that would make someone come back, thus the high drop rates too. For an anime which is released in 2022, one would expect to see something new with eye-catching animation, Orient doesn't offer that.

But still I want to keep watching it and see where it goes, I'm not the type of person who just drops an anime and judges it when it isn't even completed. I've rated this 6/10 for now and the score is bound to change in future. The latest episode, episode 5 was loads better than the previous ones, easily best one till now so I'm hoping this will get better.
