Attack on Titans resemblance. Vampires. School setting previewed in 1st episode. All makings of bad anime. It does have stunning backgrounds though.

Doesn't seem to have that many haters to me. Although I'm growing weary about it. I thought it started well but after episode two I'm lowering expectations a lot (and they were pretty low to begin with).

Although I'm reading the manga (And I'm quite fond of it now after chapter 12), the first few episodes are ridiculously mediocre. They are currently at the most mediocre parts but it gets better after chapter 12 of the manga which is yet to be adapted.

Season 1 is going to be mediocre for sure but the story picks up and lives up to the name of Kagami Takaya's work. You'll see how Yuu becomes the Ryner (Densetsu no Yuusha) soon. If anything, season 2 is going to be much better than S1.

1) High School setting after "dark and edgy first ep"
2) BL vibes
3) It did not live up to the massive hype
4) This reminds them of AoT and they hate AoT
5) MC is a dumb revenge-driven character. Yuu = Eren. Yoichi = Armin (both weak-willed)
6) Animation doesn't fit
This is what I've seen from comments.

If you've noticed they say nothing about why they hate it, they jusy dhate that it's rated higher than their favorite sh!t anime.

Dont see that much hate against it but i get why people could dislike it judging by the first episode . Second ep is like a different show..its the highschool setting we all know with a vampire twist.

I dont really see why ppl are reminded of SnK ..its soo damn different. Also wasnt aware there was that much hype around it ..atleast i wasnt hyped at all for it.

I actually haven't seen that much hate.
I don't see what's wrong with it anyhow. Yeah, it's similar to AOT, very much so... but... that isn't a bad thing, necessarily. Yeah, AOT is overrated as all hell, but it's not terrible. I liked AOT, and I like this show too.

Honestly I know in my heart that this isn't very good but I am really enjoying it so far so it might as well be really good. Everyone needs some shounen dribble in their lives. It's better than similar shows I have watched like blue exorcist.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

It's not about hate, it's all about qualities or rather non-qualities of this show.

The setting is illogical and bad. Main characters are too archetypal. Fights are unrealistic and cringeworthy.
The story is copy of Shingeki no Kyojin (basicaly, we have big threat, gotta find its weakness and defeat it). I expected no else from Wit.

School and food running in such devastated world is complete nonsense.

Mind me, I wouldn't care about those things if the series was comedy. But they are deadly serious here. And that's why it matters so much.

Those things alone are enough to call this series mistake. But pandering to masses is strong with this title and it's no wonder many people will be satisfied just with it.

Well, lots of reasons.
You have those guys who will hate on any anime that's popular regardless of whether or not it's good.
Those other guys who will hate an anime just because they find the fans obnoxious.
Annnd those guys who shun anime that aren't "groundbreaking" and basically hate on all shows that seem cliche to them.
etc etc
I can see someone hating on ONS for being generic since I can admit that it is in the beginning, but after a while it gets pretty good.

and because this show is kinda overhyped. Everything that is overhyped brings tons of hate.

be it SAO, Tokyo Ghoul, Kill la Kill, Aldnoah-- i think the hype gives lots of expectations for the viewers, so when they see that the shows are not that good, the disappoitment is a lot bigger. thus they are harshier, i guess?? also there's the "i don't like popular things" factor.

Nothing can be inspired by anything more huh? XD did you now Shakespeare was inspired by something? guess he's sh!t now.

And the virus affected 1/10 of humans meaning there is still 800 million humans left, then minus the deaths, now around 700 million.
Then factor in the people like Guren and the vampire and monsters will be contained enough to resume modern life.


And food isn't a problem, how do you think the primitive humans survived? cause they sure didn't have agriculture.
Again it's A VIRUS, so the buildings and everything else aren't affected.
It's not a meteor hitting the planet.

why wouldnt there be food and school if its 4 years after a human infected virus?

i'm not sure about MAL since i only started to follow the forums lately, but it was pretty hyped to me. At least, this was the most anticipated show between ppl i know and where i live, along with Shokugeki no Soma.

Can't say a have a good overview on this, tho. I might be wrong, but we can't deny this series is getting popular. ¯_('-')_/¯

this sort of threads are stupid, same for the people making conclusions after only 1 episode

so far the popularity is even with the rating, so it's fine, there is no hype or hating going on

IMO i think its because non manga readers had a lot of expectations and were hoping to find a copy-paste of Shingeki no kyojin.
Obviously this anime has some similarities but it's nothing alike in pacing, plot and relationships which let down everyone and then everyone rated this low. This shouldnt be compared to Shingeki, people should apreciatte it for its own story...not because it has the same studio etc. Not every anime made by them can be a masterpiece, but this is definitely not "garbage" as some watchers make it seem to be. Generic school setting and annoying mc...it's cliché and has been made 1000th times and so what? Doesnt mean later the story wont get really good. If you base your opinion in just two eps...that is not fair imo.
Honestly as manga reader I'm 99% satisfied with the adaption. :D

getting a lower score than 8.5 doens't mean the show is getting any sort of hate. there will always be people hating on something just because ti didnt meet their expectation.

seriously dont bother what other people thinks of the show, whats important is what you think.

Never take the opinion of someone hating an anime seriously. You can dislike an anime for valid and reasonable reasons but there is no excuse for hating an anime. One can only hate an anime for reasons other than it's quality. For example, an attention seeking teen on his prolonged and painful period who thinks the world hates him and wants someone to acknowledge his pitiful existence .

Everyone is either bitching complaining that it's too similar or too unsimilar to AoT. Not sure why people would complain about the school setting since it encompass about half of all the anime out there.

1st episode was in my opinion the best in this season.

THe haters are probably people who prefer boring slice of life/romance anime with school settings, or prefer a childish/comedy action anime that has no blood, death, etc

What is wrong if it is resemble attack on titan ?! I wish if every anime resemble a great anime like attack on titan. Every season we see anime that resemble these boring slice of life anime like Nagato Yuki-chan, Nisekoi or Yahari Ore no Seishun, but no one complains about that.

Yu shares some similarities with Eren, but they have quite different personalities. Eren hero worships his seniors in the survey corps and is essentially completely obedient when interacting with them--even a (at first glance) braggart like Oluo. He has reasonably normal camaraderie with his peers, exchanging banter with Thomas and Mina before the Trost sortie. He grows quite close to the special operations squad members and the remainder of the 104th training class--and (with the exception of Jean) not through teeth clenched forced teamwork. Eren is a fairly normal person when interacting with the survey corps; it is just that he is better known for his rage against the titans and anyone who doesn't give full support to the survey corps and their mission.

Yu is a much more standard rebellious shounen lead. He does not appear to obey any authority, he has no sense of propriety at all, and he is (at the moment, at least) not willing to make friends with anyone. He really only shares the revenge-driven rage with Eren. He's much more similar to characters like Shinn Asuka of Gundam Seed Destiny and Tadashi Daiba of Captain Harlock than he is to Eren.
