Hey, thanks for posting. I personally am enjoying it and looking forward to how it unfolds. Perhaps it's similar to Attack on Titan in certain ways but I think a lot of anime are inspired by one another. Best to sit back and enjoy it for what it is.

How on earth is being like AoT a bad thing? It's one of the most popular anime ever. You'd think that would make people *want* to watch it.

But I guess there are a lot of snobs in anime. "I can't like AoT because it's popular and I'm special, therefore if this show is like AoT it must cater to (shudder) normies and casuals."

But you were putting it off before watching it since you thought it is similar to it and now, you only realise it after watching it, which means you did give a try. Not everyone is going to give that try

Thanks for explaining but still I wasn't saying negative things about it as I didn't even knew it's content , how do people form such negative opinion about it without even watching a single episode

I never said that you were saying negatives about the show. Apparently, MAL community doesn't really look forward to original shows, they are more into adaptations. Now, I didn't check, but my friend said that the anime was taken much more positively in reddit than here, so it is probably just the MAL community. Moreover, Kabanerri was shit, so the AOT fans thought like Deca might go the same route as that, even though it is really stupid to think like that, atleast when you haven't even watched the show.

Because episode 2 proves that modern anime watchers are too lazy to try understand what they're watching anymore and would just slapdash some absurd comparison with popular gimmicks from other shows their brain most familiar with as a form of "criticism".

I mean for example, take the VRMMO commentaries in the discussion thread. The show blatantly tells us that it isn't a VR but surprise, surprise, people here still think that the world is just like SAO or shit like that.

loved the first episode. one of the few times i like the sci-fi genre, i liked the worldbuilding, i liked the character designs and quirks, i liked the animation, it was a well rounded first episode.


and then 2nd episode suddenly it's a game?? and different animation and a completely different story??? it wasn't in the pv nor the description, it's not what everyone signed up for. they just pulled the rug from under out feet and gave us a completely different anime

I think some people didn't get, but they are almost all real humans there, this is not SAO it is more like Avatar movie. You can see in the beginning the spaceship above earth the aliens need humans to be alive. And our main character tried to kill him self because he thinks all this sucks. Until he find someone that is not controlled by there system and want to see where this goes.

I completely understand why people are bashing this. The PV, the art, the description, even ep1 pointed out to this being a post-apocalyptic fantasy anime. Then came ep2, which completely changes the art, the premise, the themes, everything people wanted to see from this. Of course there was going to be backlash. It disappointed people by giving them false expectations. I'm surprised the ratings aren't below 6 after this to be honest.

I am one of those people that came here for what the anime promised and I REALLY got frustrated when I saw the twist. However, after moving forward from the shock, I realised that the ''new'' plot still interested me, so I'll stay for the ride. My expectations have been lowered, but who knows, maybe it'll be even better in the end (which is why I REALLY don't get people who rate anime without completing them, and especially after only 2 eps, but maybe that's just me).

However, I understand that not everyone has the patience or time to give a chance to something that already disappointed them (and so early, too), so I completely understand why people are dropping and bashing it. They came here for a reason, and that reason was not served as promised. Not everyone is like me or you, some people may only like the type of show this pretended to be or may not like the type of show it turned out to be, so of course they will feel betrayed in a sense.

tldr; It's completely understandable for people to bash this anime, as it betrayed the expectations it had set, so I can't see why most comments here are mad or surprised that it happened. That said, I'll personally choose to give this a chance, and who knows, maybe it'll turn out good.

I just don't get the "rip-off" problem, most popular shows nowadays are rip-offs anyway, why does it matter? In fact, I was looking forward to this show because of its similarity to AoT.

That being said, I think people have the right to be angry because of the false advertisement, I feel like I was tricked into a videogame setting and I hate these, but well, I'll still give it a chance.

Thanks for the brief explanation, it's an interesting setting but it still has videogame-like mechanics, or at least that seems to be the appeal of it.
I still prefer if they stuck with the original setting, but of course I'm not judging yet.

When I look at the shows from this season alone that are ranked higher than Deca-Dence, I remember that MAL ratings have very little correlation to quality, and I shouldn’t take them that seriously. Also, criticizing something for being a rip-off of another thing has no value to me, unless literally everything done well in one show is done in the same way and better in another show. I mostly just judge a show based on how much it can stand on its own merits, divorced from the context it came out in.

For me personally, the childish art style chosen to animate the cyborgs is one thing that I really dislike about this anime; it makes it hard to take them seriously and is so far in contrast with the other art style and tone of the anime that it makes no sense. However, if you ignore that it's actually a pretty decent anime.

I think because of AoT fans who claimed it to be a ripoff of it AND episode 2 that surprised everyone and led the majority to a rushed judgement, but here we are, episode 3, and this anime proved once again that it's more original than anyone thought it was and now I won't be surprised if it kept that up with the upcoming episodes, it has potential and it's definitely the underdog of this season. I am glad I picked it up and I am loving it so far.
About E02, it's like a lot of people who complained about it being an AoT ripoff complained again about it being NOT an AoT ripoff once they realized it wasn't, ironic.

Agreeded. Goes to show how toxic anime fans really are.

I for one love the twist. Im more interested now than ever. So many theories pop in my head where this could go next.

Can't believe how people got pissed or felt betrayed because they were "sold something", but the show delivered something else.
The surprise is precisely the REASON they didn't show anything about the twist in PVs or images.
It's so good to be surprised by a movie, series, anime, book or etc, specially when the twist is good like this one.
Weebs have issues with some animes for wrong or dumb reasons tbh.

It's far from an AoT ripoff and even if it was, I wouldn't mind that aspect of it.

That said, this is still my least favourite show among the ones I'm following this season, and I'm watching Peter Grill this season, so make what you can of it.

Seems like many people dislike the show because they're incapable of putting one and one together. If you're capable of paying attention then there should really be no confusion here. It's ok if someone doesn't like the show because certain aspects don't appeal to them but many complaints I've seen thus far are just nonsense. The direction of the show itself thus far has been extremely predictable:

Me after episode one: "These robots / AI things are actually in charge of everything."
Episode two: "These robots / AI things are actually in charge of everything."
Me after episode two: "Episode three will be a training episode."
Episode three: "This is a training episode."

Not saying that being predictable is necessarily a bad thing but it undermines all the silly complaints about how the "twist" in episode two comes "out of nowhere".

I came in cuz AoT is my favorite show and stayed cuz its not an exact replica of AoT. Really like the dynamic between the main 2 protagonists and quite like the fact that the twist is actually the premise of the show given how early on its revealed. I just hope the tone becomes a bit darker since thats the tone I expected when I learned that its a post apocalyptic setting. This season has quite a few popular shows(this show also drops the same day as rezero) so people gloss over this. Imo it might be the dark horse although this show can get from 100 to a 0 real quick.

They're not aliens, they're cyborgs, technically humans who have been turned into cyborgs by the corporation.
I believe the different style of graphics with the robo dudes (colorful, peaceful, cartoonish, fake and artificial) is just used as a concept that separates the harsh and hard-to-live world of humans from the free and ideal world of cyborgs, which in reality isn't free and ideal.

I think the show has a lot of interesting and unique concepts and ideas, you just need to have an open mind and pay attention to details. But I understand that not everyone appreciates it, since everyone has their own taste.
