I just recently started watching this and currently on episode 5. Seems like this show has some mysteries, unknown enemy and character that suffer. In addition of great character interaction between sniper dude and that blonde dude. Also, no ecchi or harem stuff, no annoying tsundere girl too each character is like-able. No generic school life although they are school kid but most of the time they are fighting enemy like Yuuki Yuuna Yuusa or Madoka anime.

I honestly starting to love this show, but it seems that the hate in MaL discussion thread is kinda over exaggerated. Any reason why specifically this kind of thing happens?

Haven't seen read the discussions or read the novel.

But my main reason for rating it so terribly is the animation quality. For example:
- Extreme abuse of still frames (ex. suddenly switching to a close up in order to avoid having to animate actions, or just drawing lights/ice on top of a closeup to avoid animating the whole scene)
- constant reuse of animated frames (like explosions or people attacking)
- just fading the screen to white multiple times at the end of that one massive battle....seriously?

I might only be noticing this lazy/cost-cutting animation because the storytelling is so bad (lots of unexplained concepts that you can guess at, but is never concretely explained/shown). Unless somehow they tie up every loose end in the last 4 episodes, it's been unmemorable and painful to watch up until now.

If this is the sole reason, this really means MaL user has a really bias rating and probably wont ever watch any of the older series. I finished a 2004 anime, Mujin Wakusei Survive just before starting this anime, i found this is a leap years better than that one but it manage to have 7.72 rating in MaL in addition to its horrible character and some of the character were very one dimensional and extremely annoying to watch.

Honestly i didnt even realise they were using still frame and low production quality until i read the discussion in here. Heck, even the discussion forum in that site has a positive review about that episode which mainly focused on that one character sudden death. The sadness is shown clearly in that discussion, but when i went here the discussion was totally about animation and the death is a joke and people laugh about it. like wtf. what is wrong of these people. really.

nahhhh its not just animation (though it is pretty bad). qc had a really messy start and a premiere episode that wasnt well-received due to it being "generic". it didnt really help that it was followed soon after with a time-squandering swimsuit episode that served nearly no purpose. it also suffers from poor logic in the writing here and there like how airi had to be escorted by maihime when maihime was needed on the battlefield. the score however can be expected to go back up once the questions about the illusory world the characters are in are resolved. it already has received a .02 increase from the most recent episode which is a start. its always tough to come back from such a bad first impression though especially when the staff lineup had hyped up the show so much prior to its airing.

Here, a slightly objective point of view (I really love this series despit it beijg bad)

Of course the poor quality animation that goes even to the point where character animations go off frame at times.

Messy episodes

Poor flow of plot progression(the only "good" episode in terms of flow was, odly enough, ep.08, a non-action episode)

Plenty of character actions. Don't get me wrong, the characters in of themselves are great, but their actions, not so much.

Bc it's MAL and the genre = low score.

Personally this is one of the better ones of it's group and think it is rated a little low despite the average at best animation.

Probably because it took the story too long to finally kick in. It was a crap story until around episode 6, most watchers don't have enough patience to stick with a show that long, and probably dropped it with a poor rating around episode 4. It has started to grow on me though over the last few episodes.

I dont understand either. i realize the animation is not good. But everything else is. The story isnt generic or bland. its really unique and interesting. The characters are the best part of the show. They are all likable in some way. And they all have character development. Despite the poor animation, i loved everything about this show and is one of few anime i am keeping up with this season without getting behind. If this anime had better animation quality, then it could be one of my favorites. The fact that the animation studio decided not to give this the time and budget that it deserves is quite sad. Hopefully the bd releases can fix it but its rare that they will have a noticeable increase in quality.

animation quality is yeah, not that good.
plot is a little predictable.
but I am still curious about the story so far.

and also, some of the reviews were written almost only after 3rd episode, where it was not yet the rise to the climax

I never really realized either how cheap animation was in the industry in general until I read an article about how studios make cheap animation. It's practically the same with CG in video games and such, I never noticed that much when polygons would spill all over the screen or how they fake some effects, until I've been initiated to how you can cheaply make something look like it's pretty and realistic using crazy visual hacks and lies.
Just being aware of this entire conspiracy, and experience, you will start to see a lot of wrong animation¹ and realize you've been actually really stupid until now (same for eveyone who isn't an artist genius at birth). Well I'm not really saying it's all bad, you can't make perfect animation anyway. But some are much worse than others, and while you can appreciate the animation when the animators have put a lot of effort, you can't forgive them for presenting a crappy unwatchable anime, whether you pay for it or not (I don't, yet I give my opinion).

That being said, for the time being I rate this show 6/10 which is actually not THAT bad. It's still above 5/10. Everyone has different criteria and may rate differently even though they have the same opinion.

MidAvionics said:

People who write reviews before it ends (the climax isn't enough) or when they dropped it are just retards anyway. Unless they know the original source very well, but I wouldn't believe that, honestly. Also, there is always a bunch of troll reviews mixed in, so you can't trust them overall.


[1] I think there are exceptions, like Stark700. I suspect this guy actually watches everything at x2 speed, or perhaps 3 animes at the same time, or he just does something else at the same time and rush a first-post here before the episode even ends, because his watchlist is so big and he often fails to see what is wrong in an anime.

7 would be okay. Started slow and getting faster now. Probably a lot dropped early/too early and thought this was going to become a boring harem (cause at least one of the girls at the beginning was annoying).

It certainly is not 8. Would have needed a better start already (less brother-sister stuff which was annoying at the beginning). But if this keeps up I can see it raise score to 7.0 - 7.49.

like everyone said above, its just animation quality, no matter how good story is, if animation is bad = insta - bad. and ofcourse swimsuit episode will make it more bad, maybe that become trends now to hate fanservice when in reality people walking here and there half naked.

Pretty much this. Well, ratings here mean nothing. Too many shows are overrated or underrated for no particular reason. Just look at Re:Zero, show itself is kinda meh due to its horrible pacing (it's slooow) but it has high score. Why? Well, gamelike vibe is more than enough.

Because...it's pretty bad.

The art is derpy constantly. The animation is terrible. The first big fucking boss fight against the giant Unknown, was summarized in like 5 poorly drawn powerpoint slides. The final attack to end the battle wasn't even shown.

The story is a mess, so many elements that haven't even been slightly elaborated on. And yet they somehow want to put together a coherent story with 3 episodes left? Impossible.

You rate this show as 8. With that kind of animation and power point slide show, you think this show deserve 8? Not one episode but every episode has worst animation. Did A-1 even trying?

Beside this show has slow start, episode 2 already has swimsuit episode and episode 1-4 is boring plus with retard MC. Yeah it got better after that but sadly many already drop this show.

To answer your question, 38% rate this show below than 7 because of that it got score 6.6+

so far the story manage to make me interested to know whats going on next, plus characters are good. kasumi has almost the similar personality as Emiya Kiritsugu from Fate/Zero. Depends on how this anime conclude it self i probably will stick to this rating or reduce it to 7 if there is nothing interest me anymore in later episodes. 6 or lower are almost impossible since this show is not a disappointment to me nor it doesnt bored me at all.

uh the score isn't really low its average. It has a 6.6 rating from 7,000 users which means people usually give it a 7 or 6. Which is exactly what it deserves. The show is neither good nor bad just ok. That's usually how anime is these days. They don't put in the effort like they use to.

The score of a show is totally meaningless, period.
It would mean something if everyone was watching a given title, but many people doesn't even check it out, due to : genre,rating etc. So the score comes from those who were showing some kind of interest to begin with. And tat few who adds it to their list because even though they know they won't like it, they feel some kind of urge to underscore something that they don't even care about. That's exactly why you can rarely see anything rated under 5. Though the scale goes from 1 to 10, given the flaws of a title, 6.5 shouldn't be considered that bad, if people were using the system as it was intended.

I have this problem myself, because neither i start anything i know i won't like.
Though rarely i ran into shows, that manages to fool me into thinking they will be good.
Actually i was thinking about this for a very long time, specifically since i've seen Sousei no Aquarion (7+ score), which was so bad, that i felt physical pain just by watching it.
Then Bubuki Buranki (6+ score) enforced this view. Rating is useless, and it is pointless to rely on something that 99,99% of the MAL users (that includes me too) can't use properly.

I personally use the descriptions on the ratings as my rating scale on everything.

With the plot hole filled, generic magic school plot, I'd probably give it a "Fine" (6).
But with the terrible animation (almost as bad as last episode "Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil"), I certainly can't rate this as "Fine".

The animation alone is certainly "Bad" (4).

If the story somehow redeems itself in the end, It might average out at a (5).

actually the third film that i mentioned Johnny Got His Gun was a Movie that was based on a Novel but it had the hallucination scenes also from the main guy in the film in which Kasumi got also and also it's a war drama with a mix of horror/thriller thing

Everyone is all about visuals nowadays. Look at Kimi no Na wa, it's currently at the top. I remember that very short swimsuit and everything's like oh they're relying on fanservice now or oh a fanservice show (while praising fanservice wars err Shokugeki no Soma)
Anyway I wished a different studio got this instead even if not a popular one like Gokumi or whatever studio aninated Yuki Yuna. There's just no effort from a1 and I thought I've seen their worst. I'm not like the majority who drools over cute character designs, cool special effects etc, but we are the minority. Meaning this anime is doomed.
There's also that "death" comedy scene and the middle part is less interesting than the rest. My first reaction on that comedy scene is blame the staff.

If you watch the show you'll realise why it has a low score.

The mystery was ungodly obvious, the art is some of the worst I've ever seen in an anime, every character is incredibly flat and dull with possibly Hime being an exception but even she has some incredibly awful moments. It's poorly paced, it has a terrible tone flipping rapidly back and forth between weak drama and slapstick comedy...

Yeah. It has so many issues that I'm surprised the score isn't actually lower.

Both art and animations suck. But the story isn't bad. I'd rather read its LN than watching the anime.
The plot twist in the episode 7 or 8 is something we can call "original" I've never seen that thing in any anime before. It's not that bad.

Ya couldn't even get my age right. Seriously. See the way I said about people being stupid? Yeah. That.

And yeah. It was obvious. I knew before it even happened that the anime had no balls. They'd made it blatantly obvious.

Also, golden rule of TV. No body, not dead.

My biggest issue with this anime... well, apart from all the other issues, is that it thinks it is so clever. What? It took 9 episodes before they revealed the twist when it was obvious from what? Episode 3? They tried to make it like a huge mystery when... well, it's just the Matrix mixed with Oblivion.

"Oh no. A girl who sings was "killed" by a creature that carried her away... and then in the next episode an enemy with tits shows up that sings. I wonder if they might be related.... NAH. Oh, wait, a girl in a giant cloak was "killed" off screen when they had deliberately made it not possible to see... and then an alien with a huge cloak shows up. NAH. Unrelated!"

The anime is stupid. Simple as that. It is one of the dumbest animes I've seen in quite some time. "Hey kids, you don't need to fight anymore, stay on the boat." Even though the kids had clearly been sent back several times to fight since Canaria was there to save Hime and Hotaru and then Hime, Hotaru and Canaria were there to save the other 3. Kinda defeats the idea that the kids are being kept on the boat to avoid the combat.

The enemy literally landed on people and flew back up into the sky with them through the portal. Oh. I wonder if they're really dead or if they're being captured. It's too complicated!!!!

If anyone was fooled by this anime into thinking any character was actually dead, shame on them. When Hime "died" my reaction wasn't "Oh, well, fuck, the only slightly decent character died", my reaction was "Oh, well, fuck, now I have to wait a few episodes before she shows up again."

Digibro is well known as having a huge hate boner for A-1 Pictures and has made huge video series complaining about AssWar and SAO, by god should he make a video series on this show. He has so much to work with. A single episode could take an hour to dissect how consistently bad it is.

I love ranting about this show. It's just so damn bad but for some reason a select group of people seem to be REALLY defensive of it. I'm still genuinely surprised that its score is this high. I know I probably won't be giving it a 1 though, it's not quite Active Raid level of pure awful. Maybe a 3 or a 4 at best right now.

Done with ramble!

Both art and animations suck. But the story isn't bad. I'd rather read its LN than watching the anime.
The plot twist in the episode 7 or 8 is something we can call "original" I've never seen that thing in any anime before. It's not that bad.


It's not original, at all.

Matrix had overlords forcing people to live in a fake reality.

Oblivion had someone working for an alien and fighting humans when he thought he was fighting aliens

Talking only anime?

Angel Beats


Deadman Wonderland -

It's not really a unique twist that "the people we thought were good are actually bad and the people we thought were bad are actually good". It's not original at all. It's actually very standard.

Putting Kill La Kill aside. I watched Deadman Wonderland & Angel Beats, and these aspects didn't reach me so much. Actually I'm watching Claymore and it seems a little bit interesting.

And that "original" thing is because this is the first time I liked the idea. It may not be an original after what you've said but it's a good idea anyway :)

Score's fine. There are better shows with lower scores, even this season.
I wanted to like this, but too many issues. Suffer thru bad pacing, blandness, derp art/animation, just to have some Wataru dialogue/characters (the best part of this show), and following the slow reveal of the rather interesting mystery that's poorly presented.
It did have a few unique ideas, like the train & battleship tactics, but the production quality couldn't keep up & gave us stills & white frames.

My main beef with this anime is its awful characters, they couldn't've been more cheesy, bland and boring. They're just cliche incarnate, there's literally nothing about them that makes them at least a little unique in comparison to the countless others before them. The genki airhead Maihime and her fiercely follower with a bit of a crush Hotaru? You see tons of them every damn season. Suzaku's arrogance and their lovey-dovey thing with Kanaria? Oh boy, don't even get me started. The only one I can stand is Kasumi, the rest are just unbearable. What's worse, the subplots involving such bland characters also come out incredibly bland, like the romantic hints between Suzaku and Kanaria, the backstory on Hotaru's devotion to Maihime, etc, etc. It's like the creators of this TV series made it their goal to make this anime a textbook of cliches executed in the most overused and boring way.

All in all, there was potential somewhere in the idea, but such execution killed it, turning this series into the disappointment of the season for me.

And by the way, the "original idea" for me wasn't the people we thought were good are actually bad and the people we thought were bad are actually good" but the idea of "this world is fake" because the first one is "very standard" (Akame ga kill?).

I never thought the assassins in Akame Ga Kill were actually the bad guys, Akame is in the freaking title FFS lol.

It's not about guys, I'm talking about the emperor guard what's-their-name all of them is fighting of what he's thinking is true. And the Night Raid was shown as bad people in the very begining.

lol, are you joking? non of the viewer know what exactly happen when that character was killed. look the comment discussion of the said episode. Stop being a dick, and admit that you are one of the stupid guy too. Man, i cant believe a 26 y/o person can still have this kind of filthy attitude.


Ya couldn't even get my age right. Seriously. See the way I said about people being stupid? Yeah. That.

And yeah. It was obvious. I knew before it even happened that the anime had no balls. They'd made it blatantly obvious.

Also, golden rule of TV. No body, not dead.

My biggest issue with this anime... well, apart from all the other issues, is that it thinks it is so clever. What? It took 9 episodes before they revealed the twist when it was obvious from what? Episode 3? They tried to make it like a huge mystery when... well, it's just the Matrix mixed with Oblivion.

"Oh no. A girl who sings was "killed" by a creature that carried her away... and then in the next episode an enemy with tits shows up that sings. I wonder if they might be related.... NAH. Oh, wait, a girl in a giant cloak was "killed" off screen when they had deliberately made it not possible to see... and then an alien with a huge cloak shows up. NAH. Unrelated!"

The anime is stupid. Simple as that. It is one of the dumbest animes I've seen in quite some time. "Hey kids, you don't need to fight anymore, stay on the boat." Even though the kids had clearly been sent back several times to fight since Canaria was there to save Hime and Hotaru and then Hime, Hotaru and Canaria were there to save the other 3. Kinda defeats the idea that the kids are being kept on the boat to avoid the combat.

The enemy literally landed on people and flew back up into the sky with them through the portal. Oh. I wonder if they're really dead or if they're being captured. It's too complicated!!!!
