Happy Sugar Life
| Every I check back and it seems the rating keeps lower? I personally enjoy this show so I have no idea why |
| Are we really gonna make it..? |
| It's just people for some to me unknown reason don't enjoy seeing fictional characters suffer. |

| People don't know how to recognize Good Anime. Thats why shit like YOI Got uch high scores and good shit like this gets low scores |

| I would not be surprised if it ends somewhere between 6 and 7, horror series do not get too far if they do not have an interesting plot or appealing characters. I get it is a horror anime, you are suppose to feel uneasy about the plot and how things progress, but every character of this series (except Satou's best friend(?)) has some weird borderline mental disorder because of reasons; and that seems to be the only highlight of this anime, people with mental disorders doing stupid things. |

That's pretty much it, and with each new episode another psycho character enters the stage. The series is not particaulary bad, more like "so bad it' good" or "bad but fun to watch". A guilty pleasure. The actual score at the moment (7.06) seems more than fair though@OP, it could be a lot lower if all the anime on this site wouldn't get overflodded with 8-10 scores from overoptimistic people. Heck, most of the scores are so similar that the score difference from a ~rank 1000 anime and this one (rank 3400 at the moment) is 7.7 against 7.0, so 0.7 in total only. In that regard I wouldn't care so much about the rating here if I were you, really.^^ |
| Horror is a niche genre that has certain "tastes" that people just don't enjoy watching. Normally they would gloss over what is considered tension and suspense for being dark and edgy to try and scare you. A horror anime doesn't just have to scare you but make you feel nervous and uneased, which is something that Happy Sugar Life does well IMO. I'm not saying this show is perfect as some of the characters are crazy for the sake of being crazy, but it has been the most enjoyable horror anime in a while since it does do horror well. |

| I really wanted to like it but it just falls flat in multiple aspects. There is yuri, unhealthy relationship, yandere, deaths, cute female characters, interesting and dark plot, basically everything I love in anime. What could there be not to like? Well... yeah... Rant incoming! Genre: This absolutely fails as anything remotely similar to horror. Maybe it's that I have an issue with anime horror but this is not scary... or creepy... or making me uneasy... or making me anything else but indifferent. It's just randomness with insane characters who don't even go all the way for gore galore (not a fan of gore fest but if you aren't Junji Ito, it's the safest and easiest way to do horror and not even that is here). Look at Another, it failed to bring the tension and fear but it made very gruesome deaths to compensate and while I wasn't a fan, it's still better than nothing. Which is exactly what we got here. Characters: As it was said before, all of these characters are mentally ill. The MC is a pedophile, another dude is a pedophile, another woman was a rapist, the teacher is a crazy masochist, etc. It makes them awfully unrelatable and unlikeable. Seriously, Shoko is probably the only (partly) sane character on screen and it is awfully annoying with how the show tries to make her the cutest and sweetest friend ever. uwu kyaa~ Just no. Even that little kid who are usually the incarnation of cuteness and likability is a schizophreniac with possible DID. Oh, and Shio is apparently the center of universe. If the show doesn't make her a devil child sent to the Earth to mentally destroy humans to get as many to hell, I'll be disappointed. Plot: Where? Seriously, the plot is that a pedophile kidnaps a girl and tries to get rid of everyone who wants to destroy their happiness. This actually sounds like a great story! It has huge potential to explore unhealthy and abusive relationships, messed up power dynamics, murder, manipulation and overall mental struggle as the innocent victim begins to see her captor for who she really is. Just that we get nothing from that. We don't even get anything from the "pedophile kidnaps a girl and tries to get rid of everyone who wants to destroy their happiness" part. Literally, the only "getting rid of" that happened was off screen and implied. We're halfway done and NOTHING of substance happened. No "mad yandere mode". We only learned character background for both main characters. After 6 episodes! Shio still thinks Satou is the best thing ever and apparently doesn't see anything wrong with the status quo. Satou has been awfully passive, we discovered several crazy people and got their backgrounds thoroughly explored. We even got the friendship between Shoko and Satou. And it seems like the show will go down the "it's ok to be abusive if there are more abusive people" with Shio's father as the villain instead of Satou, as it should have been. Which will be incredibly disappointing. Even Yuuno got into her yandere mode at this point and the main point of that anime was a fight to become the God not yandere being yandere. For a show about yandere being yandere, there is awfully little yandering. Bottom line: The only part of this anime I can call safely good is animation and character design. The only reasons I will finish it are that a. I love yanderes so I still have some expectations and b. it's just 12 episodes and I'm already midway. |

| Im watching this anime because its caught my interest, but that doesn't usually happen. I usually watch / read MOE and Yuri, so animes like this where girls are hurting / killing other girls doesn't usually bode well with me. (I'm assuming we'll unfortunately be seeing some of that next episode) |
| Female x Female = Yes Girl x Girl = Yes Vagina x Vagina = Yes Yuri = Yes Lesbian = Yes |
| Maybe because i've seen enough Yuno that I don't want to see another copy paste. |
| I'm enjoying it so far but I personally find edge and crazy characters entertaining at times. Others probably don't like that and are upset at the lack of likable and/or sane characters and the direction the story is going. Shows like this that are mostly shock value never get very high scores, just look at Mahou Shoujo Site and Ousama Game. |

| Like I said in my review, there is no momentum even the most heinous problems get solved within one episode for literally no reason at all. It isn't even about luck, for example in the first few episodes when she challenges her manager why did that just die on the vine? That character should have been incentivized to ruin or destroy the MC's life but instead she just faded into the background. |

It's also a bit annoying how most problems in this anime would not be problems if someone just called the cops. I know there would be no interesting plot if the cops just solved everything, but it just comes off as unrealistic imo. especially since there are SO MANY SITUATIONS where someone could have dialed 911 |

| 'edgy = bad show 1/10' Muh, many of those who say that are the same who are jerking off to Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu, are some lolicons or like some generic hentai. |

| Its like it was written by an edgelord teenager. |

| I like all the extremes this show goes to and how Satou goes from nice to yandere in seconds. I'm also enjoying the blonde guy who basically got traumatized into "those tendencies" because he got raped by an older woman. Of course, the little girl is cute (I mean this in a normal way lol) and all the other things are an added bonus. |
| I just started watching this anime. Is everyone in this series a pedophile? I'm being so serious right now. This is actually disturbing. I'm only two episode in, and considering dropping it... |

| That 7.04 is actually pretty damn good for that kind of anime. Usually the edgy kind of anime ends up at the bottom of the seasons. |

| for me, this is top 3 anime in this season and it place no 2 after Grand Blue |
 |
| The score is too damn high honestly. |
 |
| The score should be a point higher honestly. |
| The main problem is that this anime is so edgy, I almost cut myself. |
 |
| I don't get the appeal of Shio. I find her bland, boring, and downright annoying at times. Yet, characters in this show act like she's the perfect angel who will save all of humanity or something. Speaking of other characters, everyone has some kind of mental problem (except for Shouko, who is a boring "I'm a good girl" character). It would still be fine if they're entertainingly broken, but more times than not, they become borderline cringe worthy when their craziness kicked in. The story is stale. The characters are so passive it felt like the show itself is waiting for something to happen. They're teasing us with Shio's backstory a lot, but there's no bait to bite into. We already know it's some kind of fucked up household, all that's left to know is the exact detail of the event. There're some good moments here and there, like when Satou "bitchslapped" the manager, or at the end of episode 9, but the rest of the show just felt like a slog to watch. |
 |
| It clearly is no masterpiece. But it at least deserves a 7.6 or 7.7 for how entertaining it is. |
| I am at episode 3 and still don't know if I want to finish this. |

| So after which chapter of manga anime goes original? |

SaiDrew said: I am at episode 3 and still don't know if I want to finish this. I don't recommend that you finish this. The ending was tremendously sad, comparable to plastic memories sad. |
 |
| I dropped it for two main reasons. The first being that none of the charicters are completely insane and that made it hard to connect with them. The second being that is that it’s constantly trying to string us along with dumb mysteries. |
| One of the main characters is 5-6yo kid. I think some guys don't get this fact at all. Her undeveloped (literally) brain doesn't even know how to switch on the vacuum cleaner and how to tie shoes. She is not able to understand what love is, she just likes cuddles and head rubbing, her child's brain can't understand something more complex. And obviously, an adult can't fall in love with 5-year-old kid (in romantic meanings). It's an utter bullshit |

| I really didn't like this anime because it was just too disturbing. Three pedo characters and a little girl who is mental fucked up at the end? That is too far |
 |
| It makes my skin crawl and I feel horrible watching it. But then that's better than being boring. But many people might rate it low for those reasons. |
| I personally like this anime, and gave some credits to Ezòla that done it great as a newcomer. But I get it why some audiences didn't like HSL. First, despite being a Horror, nothing is creepy on it. It's a full psychological anime rather than horror. Second, this anime is full of ill people. Pedophile, Psycho, Violence Victim, Bully, and not all audiences love it. Third, there is no clear story or goals. Even me referenced this anime as a thing that show you how bad the effect after being bullied or got some domestic violence, or being a child from a broken family, and remind us to be more care of society. But if you asked me what is Happy Sugar Life Satou always catch for, or why she want to do anything to get her happiness, I don't know the answer. |

Overly-optimistic people are a problem in MAL ratings as stuff like S;G O have a rating most classics don't even get close to. However, many overly-pessimistic just label this anime as 'edgy' and move on to rewatching Madoka and evangelion the 19th time this year, keeping their 3.82 mean score thinking people care Um, I didn't really get what was the question now, so I can't give a proper answer (plus this thread is rather old). But in case of TG Root Alpha and SAO, I'd assume that the 10/10 brigade is more prominent than the 1/10 fraction, as they are far more popular and hence can mobilize their fan base better than this rather unknown anime. I don't know what to answer you else in that matter. |
| I finished Happy Sugar Life today And I gave it 10/7 For me 7.04 isn't a low point for this anime,yes was a Good anime but not a masterpiece,So if it's not a masterpiece How can it deserve 8-9 points on MAL,Of Course it can't deserve.And this is just my opinion but I'm sure that there is lots of otakus who watched this anime thinking same thing with me. |
