| Why are you guys who are calling this anime cliched and stupid, with plot holes and such, comparing this anime with really good shows like Steins;Gate and looking for some deep complex awesomely creative story with minimal cliches? the author says it's rated in the lower half of the season. Go compare this to Mahouka, Dragonair, WIXOSS and what not and you'll realise that those shows are wayyyyy worse. So before you all start saying "what a disservice this does to elfen lied", please compare it appropriately and not jump to incorrect conclusions. To begin with, if you all hate it so much, why are you here, in brynhildr's anime subsection discussing it? Go watch something you consider watch worthy. Live and let live guys. I mean, seriously.

Love, fellow anime watcher, who does not bother to write paragraphs about how he hates a particular anime, and instead, just simply stops watching it. So you want us to overlook plothiles and bad writing? I'm confused. The reason some people watch anime they don't like is because they simply want to finishe what they started. It's really not that hard to watch 13 episodes and it's even easier to open a thread and type one or two paragraphs about why you didn't like a show. If someone who drops a show says the show is bad the other guy goes 'you didn't even finish the series so you don't know anything' And if the guy finishes the series the same person will say 'if you hated it so much, why did you even watch it. Just so you could hate on it? Wow get a life' Basically this makes it so that no one can point out flaws in a series because the fans won't let them. So stfu and let people do what they want.

| Just talk about it in a more appropriate light, when comparing. WIXOSS, Dragonair, Hitsugi, Black Bullet, Mahouka, Usagi, and so many more are simply outshined by this that i doubt anyone who's following the season would call this shitty. Get your facts right first. You cant hate on an anime for no reason, hate on Mahouka more. But wait, since everybody likes their shonen and the MC being totally OP in a non sensical way, hey, Mahouka = win Mod Edit: Removed insults. |

| Look most of us outside of Japan dont really have a say in how an anime series is successfully or not. it is the Japanese which really have an effect so the score board is not necessary important. Consider how things are rated here it has even less of an impact Bottom line it is the sales of the Blu ray/dvd and Manga/LN sales that are real important. Ok sure this story line has plot-holes but can u honestly say has there ever been one real show without any form of plot hole? As a Manga reader of this series . many of the plot holes are actually gradually explained in the later of the story granted not everything but who are we to be picky at least it tried. Look everybody has his/her right to say how they feel as each episode airs but try to save the final verdict until u see the whole show. So far as a manga reader i can safely say that so far these last 5 episodes have been adapted well. with only a few minor changes which are excusable mostly some change in dialect and scene placements but the major storyline and all relevant info and progress has been adapted quite well. Also on a final note many people including myself like to hold the rating until the last episode airs and trust me if this series continues to progress well as it have been i can safely guarantee that the score board will rise but we just have to wait and see until the final episode airs. |

You're acting like the fact that there are other bad shows this season somehow makes bryhildr good. That's like saying, 'hey, naruto (or whatever anime you like to hate on) isn't bad becuase stuff like Mars of destruction is so much worse!' Doesn't make any fucking sense. Quality of a show isn't affected byte quality of other shows airing at the same time. Mod Edit: Deleted quotes. Removed insults. |

| I shouldnt bother, you clearly missed the point you dont just start hating without the correct comparative dimensions. I mean, its so stupid, this show isnt even so bad. Go watch other shows like guilty crown and then you'll realize what bad writing is. Not saying this is really good, but it isn't so bad either, and yes, we always talk in a comparative dimension, since thats how we judge. Its like saying all other books are shit since Crime and Punishment is so good. You just dont compare really teen fiction to that epic shizz Mod Edit: Removed insults. |

| Never saw EL so I started it with no expectations, just because the summary sounded interesting. It still managed to disappoint me because, for a "mature" show, it's surprisingly basic, resolving to such techniques as flashbacks to scenes that happened 5 minutes ago and constantly narrating the protagonist's thoughts lest the viewer somehow misses something. Well judging from the terrible jokes, they don't think their audience is particularly mature. It's a pity because the story is fairly intriguing but it's told in a way that practically ruins it. 7.5 is high rating for this show, I expect it to drop further as it goes on. By the way there are multiple reasons to continue watching a show one isn't impressed with, not last the hope that it may suddenly get better. |

You have some very good points here. I never considered this when I thought "why do people keep watching a series they despise?". The purpose of this thread was to understand why people don't like this. That would mean I fully expected criticisms (and this being MAL, almost no one being polite about them - just throwing out abuse to anyone who opposes them. I never insulted anyone in my opening post, and I don't put people down for having different opinions. I just like to understand them better.) If everyone agreed that it was meant to be higher rated then the rating would be high in first place, therefore nullifying the existence of this thread. Thank you for your input :) |

While I have not uncovered any myself, it's nice to know that they are resolved later on. I agree it is probably too early to make this thread. Perhaps I should have waited until the anime ended and see the final score. Thank you for your input. |

| Do people not understand that you can't call a show out for having plot holes when it isn't finished? Not every story tells you everything right when it happens. That's pretty fucking common in literature. |

In any case, I expect the score to rise quite a bit as the last episode airs. Thank you for your input. |
| I will revise the list of the realistic reasons why this is at 7.5 instead of 8.0. 1.) It is made by Arms, who have no rabid fanboys to over rate their shows. 2.) It features a harem and has a seriously beta protagonist who can't do anything without girls to protect him. 3.) It is related to Elfen Lied but totally different, which could cause people to be undwhelmed. 4.) Extreme censoring. |
| That list is serious wishful thinking which ignores the actual flaws of the show but have it your way. |
Cupquake said: Another one is how blonde hair's voice thingy can express emotion and tone of voice even though it's a simple machine. Mostly just nitpicky stuff, but it adds up. Ah yes that's a little unbelievable how life-like Kana's voice thing works. And actually how it works at all, like she seems to type way too fast than normal to say all that |
grey said: That list is serious wishful thinking which ignores the actual flaws of the show but have it your way.

| reasons could be: unbelieveable characters terrible male MC plot holes and conveniences( far too many imo) cliche as FUCK. too similar to elfen lead but lacking originality i stopped making sense of this show after i saw ep5. this is a 6/10 at best right now and i predict the MAL rating will go down after this is done airing. |
| i don't know nor care why this show has such a low rating, i gave it a 10 and it's staying there unless it's really gonna fuck up. |
 |
| This show has a low rating cause it sucks. simple as that. |
| you can talk all you want about ratings, scores, plot holes, inconsistencies...but in the end, sadly, what matters most to them are popularity, sales and profit... |
 don't worry, i know IMG tags are turned off...i'm just lazy to change my sig... xD |
| This show is pretty mediocre. Honestly I'm surprised the rating isn't lower. |
| The show is definitely under-rated, this show will likely rise in rating after its finished airing. Maybe finish with a 7.8-7.9 which would be fairly accurate |
| May be the girls not cute enough (looks, VA, characters)? -_- Pretty important thing for many viewers, almost the same as plot xD Especially if you compare them to girls from Nisekoi/Date A Live. |

| Because not everyone rates a show 10/10 just for having a nice OP, gore, a bland self-insert protagonist and a harem of superpowered teenage girls. |

| It's very dark and twisted. A lot of people are not used to anime like that. It really pushes people outside their comfort zone |

When they add bouncing sounds to someones big bust in an otherwise ~"dark and twisted"~ show. Also plenty of dark and twisted shows (Higurashi, Mirai Nikki, etc) are rated why higher than average. It is true that gore and violence will turn viewers off, but it's also clear that this isn't the only, or even a major reason why Bryhildr is rated so poorly. |

Machiavellism said: I enjoy it so far. Don't let a score dictate a show for you. Oh I never let a score dictate my enjoyment hehe. For example I gave School Days a 10/10, OreImo seaosn 2 specials 10/10, Welcome to the NHK 6/10 and Grave of the Fireflies a 6/10. Most MAL users would disagree with all of those scores but that's how I really feel about them. I'm loving Brynhildr as well it's in my top 3 this season but this thread is just because I like to hear different opinions and I'm interested in statistics. Glad you're enjoying this show so far. |
