This is probably the strongest high fantasy anime I've seen since the third Berserk movie. Why isn't it above an 8? I'm not fanboying or anything, I'm just curious as to why it's below the 8 rating.

Not enough tits? Main character isn't a self-insert? No waifu characters?

I ask this too. Isn't this the proclaimed AOTS on MAL? Almost everyone says so.

It shits on Fate/Stay Night that's for sure

It's my AOTS, maybe even AOTY if I get through the finale and like it

Because its quality level is not at an 8, at least not the story and characters.

But serious answer, this show is too un-generic to get a higher score. It's slightly obscure, feels like a non-anime and hard to understand compared to the popular anime that have high scores.

Probably because of Amira's terrible outfit after the 1st episode. She looked way more better/badass in that cloak and hat.

Just because you think something is good,doesn't mean others think it's good too.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

To be honest, does it really matter what the rating is? Anyone who really cares about the MAL rating system really has a lot to learn on the way things are. One man's hidden gem of a show is another man's show that belongs in the garbage. I don't particularly care what anyone else gives the show, and I don't really expect anyone else to care what i gave the show either.

To each their own, I personally see this series as a solid 8 :D

I don't think it was a masterpiece but yeah given how many people seemed to love it when it was airing I'm a bit surprised it didn't end up higher. I mean it might not have been as hyped as F/SN, Parasyte or Shigatsu were but it wasn't miles behind either

I agree, I cannot comprehend how is this not above 8. Not a masterpiece, not a miracle but still a pretty damn good anime. There are like >100 anime that really doesn't deserve to be above 8, but alas...

And I must add that it's better than F/SN, at least the first cour.

You're questioning MAL's taste in anime? People on this site have the worst taste of any anime community I've ever seen. Just don't question it, lol.

Because it's simply not good? I don't get what's so special about it anyway. Because it's different/westernized, maybe?

Ikr. It's surprising. The show is great, at least an 8 for me (which is usually 9 and 10 for others)

Had a unique protagonist, great voice casting, interesting fantasy (even though I don't really like fantasy), great comedy (well mix of serious/comedy), good character interactions and chemistry, appealing art, nice atmosphere and pacing etc.

MAPPA's new titles are all great imo.

Because it's nothing amazing? Sorta fizzles out once the plot becomes the main focus. Also Amira's mental age puts a damper on dat errythang

I enjoyed it, I've seen much worse get an 8 so I'd say why not.

Yeah. It looks good, but it feels like it could develop characters better.
