And still, Season 4 is a decent season. Not a Masterpiece, not even close. But it has still so many strengths, compared to most of the other titles.
But I guess you just have some personal problems with this show. I cant change this fact. Maybe you will watch this season without other eyes someday and try to understand what is actually happening there.
Since I am comparing AoT to the manga, I would rate it that way. Season 1 - 6/10 (nice start but feels pretty empty in the middle)
Season 2 5/10 - litterarly average, nothing to tell about this.
Season 3 6-7/10 The first half was weak, the second saved it with many major reveals. BUT I didn't write a review on this yet, so I cant count the right score right now.
Season 4 7-8 / 10 depending on how the arc is completed.
AoT also has a lot of flaws, especially in the structure and character area. Sure, this work has an enormously individual and solidly worked out plot. However, it also uses a lot of typical clichés and has an immense Plotarmor for many essential protagonists, which simply works out of place thanks to the setting. I can also understand why many AoT dropped and never got far. After all, the prologue is massive and offers almost no variety. But this is also ignored by the AoT fans. They just see the twists and the hype and automatically think it's an FMAB 2.0
As a good example I'll mention FMAB again, this Shounen did "almost" everything right. I was dissatisfied with a few things, but most of them were minimal. The storytelling and the characters are extremely well written. In contrast, AoT is unfortunately just another title holder who will never make it further.
However, at AOT the assessment consists almost only of two groups. People who give negative ratings that are extremely low or people who spam 10/10.
With the "Art is bad" you mean clearly the Manga right? Because they flexed with high amazing animations which got even awarded back in 2013. Season 4 not counting, since the animation started to suck.
Characters are cool, but weakly written. He was trying to get it right. However, the mangaka lacked experience.
The music is what ?? Are we talking about the same music? Still making waves in the meme community? Especially the new hype song from 2016 "Sasageyo" which enjoys enormous hype?
But I find your criticism otherwise appropriate. And here again I don't understand why you rated some works with the same errors or even larger ones with 10/10. Although you should actually see this.
There are so many people who rate an individual and imaginative work with a 4/10 and criticize it. But then you have a work with the same number or more errors on the list with an almost perfect score. I ask myself, why is the negative in one series being looked at and simply ignored in the other?
And there are much, much worse scenarios. There are also people who say "FMAB" is totally rude and badly written and then have Sword Art Online, Fairy Tail and Dragon Ball in the top 10 with an extremely positive rating. These are the contradictions that I don't understand. And these are only relevant as soon as someone writes a review. If someone just didn't like it "personally", that's fine. For example, I don't like Evangelion even though it's well written, but I wouldn't give it a negative score for it. Again, I like Angel Beats and Arifureta, but both are poorly written.
They had created a first-class justified system, which had completely contradicted my old one.
The system you now call was my old one. I owned around 40 anime with 9-10 ratings. However, I always found it questionable because the quality difference between some titles was so immense that a single point could not make a difference.
A work that corresponds to the average is not bad and many misunderstand this. Most people evaluate works only on the basis of the positive characteristics and often forget to evaluate the negative. As an example "Jojo" is by far one of my top 10 anime, but I had to give it a 6/10. He had strengths, but also massive weaknesses. Many give it 8-10 stars. In doing so, it is obvious that they simply ignore all of its shortcomings.
Angle Beats is a work that I have seen and like 3 times over the years. But the fact is that the work is unfinished and poorly written. A lot of the manga was skipped (even the background before the protagonist came) and there were hardly any explanations for what happened. Characters barely had any screen time before their drama scenes came up. And the plot was completely meaningless up to episode 8 and the story itself didn't understand where it was actually going. However, I loved the final episode and the creatively written conclusion.
Given that, I couldn't give a really good score in almost any area. I would even say that the work is not average, thanks to the poor implementation. Isn't that why the work is worth seeing? No, you can definitely look at it. But a 10/10 should be a masterpiece and a 9/10 should be a top title. How could I give such a number of points to a work that has avoided and saved so much?
The average rating is irrelevant on such sites anyway, since 90% of them consist of some newbies who think every work is the best anime, because they have only seen 5 pieces so far. Or people who rate anything with 8 out of 10 stars because they think 5-6 is negative and 8/10 is an average normal rating lmao.
5/10 stands for average, a work that achieves just as good results in positive as well as negative areas, whereas 6/10 already defines an "above average" work, which has jumped out of the crowd due to its quality.
And yes, I have rated a lot of works with 4/10. This is also due to the fact that most of them are qualitatively below average. That doesn't mean that you can't watch it, but that the implementation and production is amateurish. I also saw a lot of works with over 6/10. However, I have not noted them here yet.
10/10 is an absolute high score, a work that receives this rating should be the best of the best in its genre. And not something that the creators themselves had no idea what they were doing. And where everything consists only of melodrama. Good example of Angle Beats. I liked the anime, but it was bad from any perspective. Except for the music, which was very nice.
Does it sound understandable enough to you? If you give any work high ratings, you will get nowhere.
And I see S4 by far better than S1 and S2, which were a generic clash between humanity and Monsters. S3 was the only one who actually made up for real Hype and that's with a good reason.
