| I wouldn't say I'm asking this out of blind curiosity as I can see some things in it that would turn people off (I'm personally not bothered at all), but what are some reasons this isn't doing so hot on MAL? Or at least to the people not enjoying it, what about it is off putting? I'm even seeing Glasslip comparisons which speaks great volumes here at MAL. I'm enjoying it fair enough so far, I'd put it at a 7/10 right now. But I'm not here to persuade, only inquire. |

 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| It's definitely not Glasslip level. Not even close. But many people would say it's boring. There's drama, but for the most part the audience doesn't really know why there's drama because it's not well explained. So they call it boring melodrama. Which it kind of is. |

And go figure out why Sakamichi no Apollon rank 94#. MAL isn't the best place to judge a show based on Rank/Rate but it is a good place to know how popular a show is and how many people who hate or love the show. |

I'll admit it's a bit flimsy in the drama department although the resolution certainly wasn't random like I've seen some people mention before. In episode 5 - Also I'm fairly invested into these characters so far so for example when I see Yuzuki upset I don't think "man she's such an annoying bitch!" |

It has nothing to do with how good the show is. It is due to many reasons. It could be that people don't know the proper way to judge the show. People tend to forgive any mistake the show made and go easy on the show, maybe there isn't many of this type of show. the more important one is, people don't understand music. There is no way for most of us to tell what is right or wrong with music. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I'm not surprised with the lukewarm reception for this show. It's just as everyone says. Forced melodrama is forced. Were it not for the pretty visuals and moe-blob characters I would have given up on Ep2. In a sense, this anime is all style and no substance. |

Siva said: I doubt most people watch any show because it was directed by someone, with the exception of Gen Urobuchi(because people hype the heck out of everything that has this guy name on it). Lol no but there are people who watch it for the director/staff. People who liked Ping Pong went to other Yuasa works afterwards. Watanabe's even bigger so yeah lots of people watch his shows just because of him. Siva said: Like I said, any music shows on MAL that is properly directed is always get a good score.

There is no way for most of us to tell what is right or wrong with music. Your reasoning works with any theme. It's not just music but any type of show, whether it's Sword Art Online or Hunter x Hunter, if someone likes it, I think they'll be ignorant to flaws. And as for understanding music, yeah not everyone has the musical background but they can enjoy it to the fullest without it. Ratohnhaketon said: mayukachan said: W-w-what about K-On!?!?also, what other music shows are you referring to? nodame is well received and has a decent popularity here and that's the only other big music anime Isn't that more of a slice of life and less music-focused? It's like saying Haruhi or Love Live or Utapri are music anime. They have the theme but it was never the main focus. They don't focus on the real gist of it, I would say. Sakamichi and Nodame actually go into the realism of a musician (and Shigatsu too) while the other shows I brought up are like shows that have the idea there but are there just to make the show better. |
| @mayukachan: Go and test it yourself, ask all of your friends and see how many of them watching a show because they know who will be the director or even the staff. In music show, they can make their own rule and yet we still don't even know what would that mean to us. For example, in Nodame, if Chiaki were to make any mistake during his performance we simply can not know. We can only know what happen during the performance through the writer alone. If the writer said "amazing" we simply go "awwwwwwwwww" with him. And if he said "bad" we will make a sad panda face. But this doesn't apply to a show like Sword Art Online or many others. If the writer make a rule that you dies when you got killed in the game then you have to die. Anything that go against this rule will have to be explained in detail or it is a plot hole. |

What if I think Nodame Cantabile is actually a really good show? Am I wrong? |
| I do see people who watch show based on who makes them but to say it is a majority or even half of it is pretty much nonsense(no offence here) Most people watching anime because they want to see anime and not because they want to know who make them. My point, in a music show, even if they said nonsense at you you don't even know it. You may understand if the story good or not, or the character is interesting but when it come to Music itself, you can't. In a show like SAO, if they make Kirito way too OP then everyone will complain about it because they can understand the rule. But in Nodame, if they were to make Nodame or Chiaki so ridiculous OP we don't even know that, but we may cheer on them instead. Why? Because we don't understand music. |

So what if you DO understand it and the show actually makes sense to you? (Uh I wanted to be a conductor at one point in my life and I have learned piano too lmao) Nodame was ridiculously OP but anime usually feature prodigy-like characters (same in Honey and Clover) because they do exist in real life. People like Nodame who can play by ear do exist. Chiaki's just talented, I wouldn't call him overpowered or anything as he has the musical experience laid out. The thing with SAO is that Kirito is in a game and they wrote the story so that he...a 16 year old lonely kid...is the most powerful in that game. Of course people would call that unrealistic. If they made him one of the stronger fighters, it would have been more likely. |
| It is unfair to say Kirito's character is unrealistic while accepting Nodame's character because you know people like her do exist. What stop people from thinking of the possibility that a 16 year old can be the most powerful in a game? Like I said, for the last time, people usually went easy on Music show. And I don't know if it is a bad or good thing. FYI, I enjoyed both show, Nodame and SAO. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| It's a shame that this show isn't getting more attention because i actually think this anime has a lot of good things about it. Although i do understand why some wouldn't like it. For one, it's slow paced and the characters/plot can be hit or miss to some people. With that said i still like the anime even if it has it's flaws. :D Oh and this anime is already WAY better than Glasslip. Glasslip was just garbage that made me want to fall asleep. |

That's the difference. She has talent, he has talent but the way they wrote it made people perceive it different. Plus, the way Kirito gets all the bitches made it even worse. |
| In a story, there got to be something the best in the story whether it is in SAO or Nodame or any other shows. If the story of Nodame were to keep going, sooner or later she is going to be the best in her story. But the problem is, people don't give damn about it because it is music. And in SAO, people complain about it. |

And in SAO, people complain about it. I partly disagree. Having to be the "best" at something is typical for Shonen series and fighting series, or for "heroic journey" type of stories like many mechas and mahou shoujos, but there are plenty of stories out there, in anime and otherwise, where nobody is the "best" or claiming to be the "best" at anything, especially in genres like slice-of-life, harem comedies, horror, and romance where personal accomplishments and comparisons are not a major focus of the plot. Toradora didn't have a character who was "the best" (or anywhere close to "the best") at anything in particular, nor did Higurashi, or K-ON, or Clannad, or Love Hina, and plenty of people still enjoy those shows. The real key is that, regardless of whether you have characters who are totally normal or who are prodigies or who are "the best" at something, that you're giving the audience a reason to be interested in them, and to want to keep watching them. Whether people like or dislike Kirito, he's a compelling main character that demands people's attention - SAO wouldn't be half as popular if he were just some boring schlub. Same thing with Toradora - those are perfectly normal high school kids who are nowhere near being "the best" at anything they do, but if you're a fan of that series it's because you like those characters anyway and want to share in their daily adventures. I didn't like any of Celestial Method's characters as I got to know them except for Noel (I did like her a little bit), and that's one of the biggest reasons why I've stopped watching it, at least for now. |

I'd say Sora is like a 7.5/10 for me now but the fact that it's in the bottom 10 of this season and has been going down pretty much every week is just, I don't know, I don't get it, I guess people didn't expect to get drama and got mad at the characters for getting mad at each other when, in the viewers' minds, everything should be clear as water and they should all say fuck it and be friends and let the anime go full CGDCT. The show even goes out of it's way to not say much about what actually happened so I imagine people are either mad at the fact that the show is not clear enough or mad that it's "clear enough" and forget we don't know half the story. Either way, personally, I'm intrigued at what will happen, how it'll happen and even more about what actually happened, I'm also someone who puts some thought into a character's actions so that's probably why I don't get all the hate the characters in this show get. mayukachan said: Siva said: It is unfair to say Kirito's character is unrealistic while accepting Nodame's character because you know people like her do exist.

Problem wasn't that Kirito was good, it was that everyone else sucked, I actually find him perfectly normal but he's in a world full of dumbasses. Still, I find Kirito to be a good character and blame the story for the rest, like how in the most recent episodes Klein, apparently, is now a retard who is just there to make Kirito look good. |

WingKing said: By being the best, it doesn't mean it has to be compared to the world or to only the good thing. For example, Shinji Ikari, he is being the best retarded in his story or maybe in anime history. Another example would be, Clannad, For every girls in Clannad to fall for Tomoya Okazaki it does say something, even without anyone in the show yelling that out loud, that he is great at something. But it is true, not every shows are focusing on how is the best like in Nodame or SAO.Siva said: In a story, there got to be something the best in the story whether it is in SAO or Nodame or any other shows.

But I agree with you, I doubt the average MAL user puts much thought into who is making what but there are a lot of people who will watch something because someone worked on it. |

| Art is pretty Music is okay Story is somewhat okay Theme is bad, "I wish everyone to smile" like I haven't heard that before in other anime so many times. Cheesy as fuck. Too much drama. Came to see how badly this anime is reviewed and saw it. But will finish it. This anime sucks. |
| -Great leaders must first learn to be great followers. |
| Not enough quality drama exploits, plot is not too deep and lack of emotional stir material. There's a good material but they fail to exploit it like the reason Nonoka lost contact is because of the loss of her mother. Her friends seems to be casually dismissive about it and keep on their high ego (mostly Yuzuki and Shione). They rather put up with a shallow drama of 'friendships: do things together' than a real strong interpersonal strife between each members. The latest few episode is just felt like throw it all at the most upstanding members of the group, Noel. which the main characters doesn't even care to give her a proper shelter and a warm bed to spend the night, it is ridiculous, who would let a loli lives alone in an abandoned run-down building! Screw this show. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| I don't really get why it's poorly received. I like it, it's cute and has pretty art and animation with some good pieces of music here and there, but it does feel like something's missing, and I don't really know what. While I don't care too much for the characters, I don't hate any of them, and the story is a bit lackluster, nothing too special. I don't think there's anything remotely bad about the drama, it feels more subtle in some areas than not, but that's just me. But I'll admit that for the past few weeks I've only been watching it because it's a bit relaxing. I don't find it dull, but it almost feels like some of the problems are being dragged on longer than they should, and it just causes more problems that shouldn't exist. As of the recent episode, I'm starting to question how they're going to end it, because I think 13 episodes is too long for this kind of show. |

| I guess its not everybody's cup of tea. I just finished it and loved it.... my final score was a 9 out of 10 :) |
| Ahhh sorry, I think the majority of the people here all really like Sora no Method, but I mean since this question is being asked, I will do my best to give it a go to give an opinion to this question. Honestly I felt like most of what I disliked about Sora no Method was Nonoka; she was just pushing it too much. I don't know what it is about her, but I could NOT root for her at all. It was just very annoying how she wanted everybody to be friends with her and would not accept no for an answer. Just imagine yourself in middle school where some really kid just bothers you all the time and won't settle for "no" as an answer so they keep calling you and following you everywhere until you become friends with her lmao. "SHIONE! SHIONE!!!!!!" I think in Japan they have something with politeness where they call each other by their last names if they are anything but good friends. It visibly bothered Shione that Nonoka was calling her by her first name, even to the extreme of threatening to smack her if she kept it up, yet Nonoka just kept calling her Shione. I didn't like how in like episode 10 or 11 or something Yuzuki and Souta suddenly just decided to not talk to each other anymore after JUST TALKING IT OUT LIKE 2 EPISODES AGO?? How do these kids even come to a conclusion on how to solve their problems? (PS: Yes I know this is middle school, but give me a break.. There is literally the same issue over and over again in every episode where Nonoka suddenly can't make friends with somebody and she just keeps bothering them until they do become friends with her.... annnd.. repeat.) I know people like seeing the underdog win or see a well fighter character who refuses to give up, but Nonoka was just taking the wrong approaches. I think it was a bit odd that Shione suddenly had that 5 second personality swap where she went from "I hate you, Nonoka." to "I LOVE YOU NONOKA, IM SO SORRY!! I WANT TO BE FRIENDS!" and then back to "I hate you, Nonoka." It's just very unrealistic, something like that would get you sent to the counselors for having these weird mood swings. Also a really weird thing that pretty much just might be me, but Nonoka and Noel kept saying "I WANT TO SEE YOU SMILE" or something like that like 20 times per episode which pretty much threw me into a batcrap insanity from how broken-recorded it was. The art and music for this anime were very nice though, I really liked the character designs too, just not their personalities or the story (which, of course, is why we watch anything in the first place for entertainment). That being said, I dropped the anime on episode 11 just because I couldn't handle Nonoka or the crazy on-off drama per episode anymore. ;__; Oof, Happy New Year though everybody! PS: If anybody wonders why I even bothered to stay that long if I couldn't stand Nonoka or the plot at all it was all because of Noel LOL. I go crazy over anime figurines and they were making the cutest Noel nendoroid that I just had to get, and it just wouldn't feel right if I got Noel without watching the anime she was from. xD |
