Title says all. Why is the raiting so low compared to the manga? Did they mess up something in the adaptation?

Yeah they messed it up big time. Has as much animation as a powerpoint presentation and they skipped through a ton of extremely plot-important content to fit an entire volume into a single episode. Completely butchered the manga.

The animation wasn't bad. It didn't need much, and the art was still inspired. But I think it skipped a lot for the first episode, giving it a really bad first impression.

Full disclosure, haven't read the manga besides the very start.

While I'll put the arguement forward in that it's the first episode. Along with the fact a 6.55 isn't a low rating, though to the Manga, sure. But even then, the Manga has been going on for how long? Compared to one episode. I haven't read the manga, but that's just mainly my take. That to me, 6.55 isn't a low score.

That being said, as a episode as a whole. It felt weird of how fast it was going. Giving the viewer, no chance to really accept what is being shown on screen, to really absorb and feel for it. As it was happening so fast, as if it feels that they could've done better if it was stretched out more. It wasn't bad, but it was just. Yeeeah.

Episode 1 was honestly pretty great, even with the fast pacing considered.

Honestly I watched the first episode and binged the 60 chapters I could find of the manga immediately. It's so good! I love how the author portrays Richard not as true good or as true evil, even as the story progresses, which was always an issue for mangas that turn their protagonists to the dark side later in the series (ahemAOTahem). If anyone knows where I can find the rest of the chapters please let me know

I know mal doesnt like topics like this but i want to comment on this since i finished the original manga.

I think it was a bit fast paced for the first episode but i am still hopeful, there are many characters and events happening and it was also complicated in the beginning of the manga. Anime art was really good in some parts and felt original, but there were also bland drawings. I think original manga has a quite solid story therefore anime will be better as the characters get their depths. It is also very common for animes to get low score in the beginning and it can change in future episodes.

Scores on MAL are not just an average of all votes, number of scoring members is important too, this is the full equation:

(v / (v + m)) * S + (m / (v + m)) * C
S = Average score for the anime/manga
v = Number users giving a score for the anime/manga †
m = Minimum number of scored users required to get a calculated score
C = The mean score across the entire Anime/Manga database

It still is a pretty low score, but not that low as it may seem

Steins;Gate and AoT good
Demon Slayer bad

Not complaining, I just wanted to know why the rating was so low compared to the manga

6.55 in Mal standards is a bad rating. Any other rating site I would agree with you.

The animation was good and inspiring and the story is wonderful…
So all I can think of about the low rating is that MAL users are mostly children and can’t appreciate the good anime..
otherwise why would only shonen anime always rank the best,,.. kids just can’t appreciate the real thing

The low production value is a big part. Feels very much like a budget anime and the story and characters feel like it to.

6.55 on MAL is low. 7-7.5 is average quality.

This anime never had any hope of being good, as it is based on a terrible manga.
