Been seeing a lot of criticism regarding the series recently. I just wanted to say I really adore the characters, the brainrot and absurdity as a whole. I do hope this anime does well enough to recieve second season but seeing so many negative reviews, I've been kinda worried. :⁠-⁠\

With popularity always draws negative feedback. A s2 is never certain, but I think the series is doing very well in actually receiving viewers each week.

calling this brainrot is correct
because this anime really is unfunny and annoying characters just like brainrot content
if it really was that popular then it would have been higher up in more fan votes and favorites list

Tbh, ive only see people being negative about it on here and anytime anyone talks about it somewhere else, its (mostly) positive or they're joking about it so the show is definitely praised....just here is where the haters go (in my opinion anyway)

Honestly my feelings have been "thanks I hate it" and proceed to watch every new episode.

Comedy anime rarely make me laugh so I'm ok with the ones usually considered unfunny by most people, as long as I can enjoy them as slice of life with quirky characters (Shikanoko and Bashame are carrying the show). I actually laughed once when watching Shikanoko (in the most recent episode) and that makes it funnier to me than many highly acclaimed comedy anime.

Idk I think the people that say it’s corny are just weird but the valid criticism (by myself included) that it just becomes a little repetitive and boring within 4 ish episodes makes sense but hating on it for the fact it’s brainrot is absurd because that’s like the whole point 😭

It have funny scene here and there, but the most part just makes me giggle.
Doesnt mean its a bad show, people just overhyped cause the marketing team going way over the top.

For me comedy anime works when a**holes do sh**ty things to a**holes . But when a normal person has to put up with bs of an a**hole then I don't find it funny and it's just annoying af

Yes, it's a dumb show... but I personally love it. I enjoy things like Nokotan much more than the abundance of anime that only uses fanservice and overused cliches to stay relevant.

depends on you man. if you like it that's great, if you don't that's pretty much relatable. to me it's for most of the time a "meh" anime but at times it's good. so it's somewhere between 6.7 to 7 for me. I am into anime more like the daily lives of highschool boys

People who are disappointed were just looking for Nichijou through this show. Not all comedy animes are bound to make you laugh, and most of the time they never do unless it appeals to the humor of the viewer.

Just watch the show and enjoy it, or drop it and move on. Nothing else needs to be said.

7.36 is not a bad rating. Is it anime of the year? No. But clearly people think it's alright.

Considering the amount hype this anime received before it's release, I'd say it's currently underperforming greatly.

I mean, people were hyping the hell out of this anime because of WIT Studio were the ones making it, and there's also the official dance video that garners millions of views in a short time + becomes a popular meme.

But now, all the hype were gone, and people now hyping other animes that previously were pretty lukewarm like Roshidere or MakeIne, in which the former always making impact + memes on every episode, which is kinda insane, TBH.

I don't really dislike the characters, I actually like Bashame a lot. I think the biggest issue is I'm not into "lol xd random potato" type of comedy. Especially when the same punch line is being used 40 times. This would have been way more successful in like 2014, not 2024

I like it personally it's like an antidote to animes that take themselves too seriously. The gags are hit and miss, agreed but the narrators comments are very amusing. Its just trying to get you to laugh in spite of yourself by doing any dumb, crazy, nonsensical, subversive, contradictory, piss taking stuff it can think of. It's not everyone's taste but theres definitely a place for this type of comedy imo, and I think it does it very well.

I guess humour is subjective. Some people think the show is funny. Me personally I don't except for a few moments.

Other than that the show just doesn't have a lot going on imo. There is no coherent story. The characters are mainly uninteressting and it's also not entertaining in a SoL type of way.

Well fan votes and favorites don't decide everything. The brainrot is what makes it funny

Personally I found it pretty funny at first, but it got repetitive after a while. Every character except Shikanoko and Bashame have just one or two jokes that they keep repeating. Even some of Shikanoko's jokes started getting repetitive lately since a lot of them are basically "Nokotan does something crazy, Koshitan is shocked, everyone else finds it completely normal"

@PunGood020 Nah the joke really dried up in 3 the first 3 episodes. The most repetitive joke this anime shows is when the deer girl took her head off. Yeah it endearing in the first to 3 time but when its all the jokes you have until now. Its just sad now.

The show is extremely overrated. Watching this and The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated! at the same time. Jahy sama has way better comedy and is a good example of how you do a slice of life comedy. This show just throws references out their and repeats jokes that aren’t that funny. It feels like a ton of wasted potential for a show with such a good op and artstyle.

The second half of the anime is...terrible, at least for me. And i really liked the first 3-4 episodes. Now it is a snot-jokes anime.

This anime is fine in short bursts at a time, and does get old fast, but still funny to watch an episode every once in a while to refuel the brain rot.

I'm not the biggest fan tbh. But I can admit that it's most likely not the shows fault, as much of the comedy lies in the dialogue that gets lost in translation. The amount of times the word "Shika" is spoken as part of a word, makes me think there are ALOT of puns in this show that I just don't get.
