I have an even better question. Why do people care about score? Can't you judge by yourself lmao.

There's quite a few shows I like with kinda low scores. Sometimes decent shows just don't have much mass appeal for one reason or another. I think the reason this one is rated low is because of a twist that happened in the second episode. I didn't mind it, I think it made the show more interesting but I guess it made the show into something else than people were expecting. I'd say to check out the first two episodes and see if you're the type who likes the twist or not.

Also doesn't "underrated" mean shows that have lower scores than they should? lol.

MAL score is based on majority and just cause majority of people liked/disliked an anime doesn't mean you'll like/dislike it just like them.

Most people rate it an 8 or 7, then you have a few people we rate it a 4 and below like the guy who watched up to the intro of the second episode and then gave it a low score based on a wrong assumption he had about the plot.

Score doesn't mean anything, why trust an anime score that hasn't even ended?

Why decide if an anime is bad or good based on the opinions of different people with different tastes. Don't be fooled by numbers.

Some animes get low scores when was on airing. Some examples that come to mind are houseki no Kuni (when I start watching it the score was 6.9 and now is 8.4) sakurada reset (6.6 to 7.4) and shinsekai yori (7.4 to 8.4).
With this in the mind, I don't think that a bad score of an airing anime means something. Just watch it and judge by yourself.

I'm not going to take this score seriously when I know there's a bunch of brainlets who watched the first episode and dropped the show, because they thought it's "another SnK ripoff, 1/10" or they watched the second episode and got disappointed because "they thought it would be like SnK, 1/10" and dropped the show too, lol.

It all depends on your taste. There are many shows with high score that are pure garbage in my opinion, so the score doesn't mean anything, regardless if it's low or high.

Yeah, while shows are airing a lot of people don't update their scores for it. Many people also don't rate shows while they're airing. Once the show ends, if it's anything like it is now, the score will go through the roof. I mean it has it's issues at times with cg, but overall the show has been incredibly solid. If you watch the first two episodes you'll probably be sold.

People who care more about the score are mostly dumb and wouldn't understand a decent explanation on why the scores are not accurate at all; and shouldn't be used to decide for you.

They even did an experiment and made PENGU or whatever a toddler anime the top score for a few months a while ago. Just to prove the scores are BS.

Since I hate people making up stupid reasons why some show got low scored because sometimes it just is not that good and they divert.

If you look at the first Episodes Thread in here you can see why the score is so low.

People comparing it to AoT, calling it a Ripoff and other stuff.

Considering this is completely original from a studio I have never heared of what they have put together is insane, all these people working there are gonna get their name out with this show, this is a slow burner (unless ofcourse it suddenly gets bad)

MAL is one of the worst places that you can judge an anime's worth. There tends to be huge biases that severely affect the score of an anime, at least early on.

If you want to get a good measure of if an anime is good, either go to the episode polls here, or the episode discussions on the anime reddit, which will show user ratings for every prior episode.

There are mainly just 2 types of people hating this show
1. People who think this is AOT ripoff and dropped it after Ep1
2. People who are complaining why this is not an AOT ripoff and dropping after Ep2.

So, unless you are someone whose life revolves only around AOT, you are going to like Deca-dence.

I have watched all the way to ep 7. I will say people are dropping the show not only too early but without understanding the plot itself. People are comparing it to AOT and in may ways the human predicament in AOT isn't as bad as this show. People aren't understanding that the humans in this show are not playing VR. They unknowingly are in a simulated world that is their reality. They are playing with real lives as their enemies are programs created by the AI owners of humanitys rights. All the while they are dependent on the protection of the Gears. Who are actually AI controlled avatars playing for fun.

I don’t like the series that much but the score is above seven, it’s a good score from my point of view. After all, MAL scores, or any other site’s scores, don’t count anything, so I find useless to care about them. However, everyone has an opinion.

i don t like the plot and the cartoonish universe. However iw still would put an 8/10 mark because the characters are badass, the fight scenes are amazing, the animation quality is by far the best of this summer, and i can tell that the plot is interesting even if i don t really enjoy it.

I don t know why this has such a low score, but this kind of things happen, especially when people are confused and drop the anime early. Problem is that it hook off the wrong audience at the beginning.

Rating anime's early is kinda lame in my book. Most people get upset early within the first two episodes, leave a bad review, and never come back. Regardless if the anime improves after the 2nd episode it will still have a bad score, because those who left a bad score will never come back.

I think the best way to have a "rating system" is to allow users to control which profiles have more weight. For example, if I don't like a reviewer; then I should be allowed to black list them from affecting my anime ratings (personal ratings for each user or groups of users). This will prevent critics from getting paid to give fake reviews. This will prevent bots from controlling the ratings. Alternately, you should be able to white list reviewers to make their reviews count for 100x the weight. Making the bad reviews negligent.

Never judge an anime just by it's score , I watched a lot of them with low rating and yet many became my most favourite shows and at the same time I watched a lot a animes with high rating while for me they were just a bunch of garbage

For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully.
And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”

This anime is really begin overrated by the youtuber influencers. I dropped it in ep4 but I will give a second try out of curiosity. The only good part is the MC, because the rest is average at most. I think the score is accurate for this type of anime. What people fail to see about Mal score is that different genres get different scores, for example a 7.50 for a sport anime is very high while for a drama anime is really low. Also they need to consider the hype people created for the anime. Fire Force score for example: is really low at 7.73.

"... i feel tricked into wasting my time on the first episode where the plot idea on Deca-Dence's world SHOULD have been described there as the intro before watching, the art, sound, and characters are good but in terms of plot, it's bad, you don't go making a fictional world only to where the viewer thinks whats going on is real but it's also fictional, in other words, Deca-Dence's world description was presented horribly, it's like, imagine attack on titan in all it's seriousness of characters living in a dreadful world fighting for their lives, only to find out none of it was real, it's just some virtual game in another reality and you don't find out about that until a little after. poor story presentation."

This is a 3/10 review from here just to give you an example of how trash the score is since people are pre-judging this show without understanding it entirely. (Imagine calling Avatar trash because they thought the entire planet was virtual world).

So yeah. I am not saying this show will definitely do well since I can easily see this turn into DITF if they are not careful, but so far this show is pretty great and has potential to end very solidly.

Old thread but, the show can’t be underrated if the show is highly rated.

Compared to other series rated by MAL, this should at least be 8.0+. Scores are relative anyway.

People saying that scores don't matter are only partially right, as scores are often looked at before deciding to pick up an anime or not. I usually only pick up animes with 8.0+. But with this being a Action/Scifi/Adventure anime, which I usually love, I decided to give it a chance. And was very surprised by how entertaining it was.
