| I'm curious how this became lower rated than for example Asterisk and Cavalry after the first episode aired, what do you think? If you can think of other poll options, do share. |
 |
| Probably the fact that only one episode has aired and it wasn't that impressive, plus the majority of people don't rate airing. Might also be bitches whining about mecha already. |

| That plot hole though! Also some people expected better animation for some reason. They had their hopes up too high. |

| I think it's more to do with his hover board/scooter. We don't know how the world's technology operates, the hover board probably had a safety mechanism that would cushion high falls, or at the very least the MC controlled it in such a way that cushioned their fall. |
| I thought it was pretty obvious that they survived that fall due to the anti-gravity scooter they were riding on. If that thing can suddenly propel itself in the air it can easily slow down its fall as well. Just because it wasn't explicitly said doesn't mean its suddenly a plot hole. What bothered me a bit more was the race scene before that. How could those guys possibly think that ramming a small scooter with that large car would end well? That scooter should have crashed the moment it touched the pipe. The show itself seems pretty lighthearted so it's slightly more acceptable, but that was still too much. As for the rating, probably a combination of factors. I've heard some people say the premise is somewhat overdone (i.e. boy finds special girl). It's most likely too early to start looking at the score. I'm waiting a bit before I give an actual score. |
| The events were just way too forced and unnatural that it wasn't interesting to watch. |
 |
| maybe it just wasn't very good |
| Only idiots rate a show after one episode, I would expect this to rate higher if it progresses as we hope. |

Crashmatt said: Only idiots rate an show after one episode, I would expect this to rate higher if it progresses as we hope. Why can't I rate something based on my first impressions of a show ? If it's a good first impression it gets a fair rating and vice versa. My rating is based on what I have watched and how much I enjoyed it, whether is just the first episode, or the entire show. I think this was fine, rated 7/10 for now. |
| Lack of faith due to other things (studio/ staff)+how they survived the fall |
| I had a good first impression, but have not rated the show yet. I'm sure many others are also withholding a rating until more episodes have aired. |
Crashmatt said: mayukachan said: maybe it just wasn't very good yeah but is was, if you want average go and watch Heavy Object i dont want to because heavy object seems like its heavily boring. ] so far comet lucifer feels like a 6/10 but has potential. |
| I loved the first but I just want to know how the fuck did they survive from that hole? It's not like I care about it a lot or something so if someone rated this with a 4 or 5 just for that thing, he/she is stupid, 100% sure about it. |
| Idk, was nothing special to me albeit not that bad either |
  |
| I don't understand rating a show before it finished airing mentality overall but to rate a show after a first episode is dumb, it's completely based on some weird first impressions as it's hard to judge a show on anything else. Who dafaq cares? |

FlyingJetpack1 said: That plot hole is bullshit, I must agree, but I'll let it slide, I don't think that is the reason. Like people have mentioned here and in episode 1 discussion, that is not a plothole. Most likely the fall was cushioned due to the assistance of the hover scooter they were on. |
| People who rate an anime after one episode I literally have no respect towards. |
| How long until season 3 of Spice and Wolf? The World May Never Know. |
| I rate after one episode how I feel about it at first and then I change the rating as the show progresses. For Charlotte, it started out as an 8 for me before rising to 9 and dropping to a mere 7. They are people who rate even before the show airs, and I think those are the true idiots. |

| It makes zero sense to rate an anime for just one episode, about this episode well It seemed like nothing happened, will apply the 3 episode rule. |
| It was just meh and completely confusing at the end. Hence the low rating. I get that vibe. |
 |
| I'm gonna try to list some pros and cons so far in the first episode: Pros: • No lazy infodumping. We learn about the world/city and how people live in through a simple scene where the protagonist goes around on his "Quicker Board". • Same goes for the current antagonists. We're learning about them through their actions instead of 5 minute dialogues about what their goals are. Cons: • The characters have no will and stuff happens because the plot said so. 1. A crystal falls from the sky directly on the protagonists' palm and he just goes back without questioning it. 2. While riding his board thingy he suddenly gets catapulted because that's what the crystal wanted and he just had to land on his friend. 3. Some pipe explodes and they fall into a cave right next to where some mecha spawning chick lies that the antagonists are searching for. • We know little to nothing about the characters. Proper introduction is needed or otherwise it's hard to like a show. Also let's not forget that the soldier just decided to charge at them instead of questioning what they're doing there or ask them to hand over the girl. |

I rate after one episode as a way to express first impression and changes my rating as the show progresses. It doesn't hurt and don't bother to look at the score before it's finished if you don't agree with early scoring. Thanks |
| I rate series after the first episode and you can't do nothing about it. If its turning good then the rating will raise and vice versa, there is no reason why you can't rate after the first episode. You can hold your rating all you want but saying that people who rate early is stupid is retarded. |

I just find it pretty stupid from an individual standpoint can I ask why is it called "1/5"? Only scores where a user has completed at least 1/5 (20%) of a finished anime/manga are calculated Well technically it's 1/5.2 (~19.23%) but it's more or less the same |

Then you literally judge the entire anime by one episode alone with zero intentions of keeping up with its progression, and that just doesn't make a whole lot of sense It can just mean that the first episode was worth this rating, not necessarily the entire anime (at least that's how I see it). Looking at the list you can see how many episodes people have watched anyway, and as said before it doesn't even count in the rating in the end so... |
| We'll have to see it to the end. But goddamn, I feel like this will be another Captain Earth... |
| i usually see people complain about anime that have none sequential or ordered story telling, they say its confusing or incoherent and its just style over substance, this kind of story telling is prone to the criticism of plot holes, like they expect everything to be spoon-feed of information in just 1 episode the recent Concrete Revolutio episode 1 is proof of this EDIT: damn this is about a specific anime, i thought it was a thread on the general anime board lol |

That's just my opinion you don't have to agree with it. I don't score any series currently airing until I have finished watching it. Im amazed people have can be bothered scoring shows every week. Why are people so desperate to rate and review things before they are finished? |
