| Come on, 8.23 (at the moment I'm writing this)? Is there any point in which this series is above average? Is it just the fangirls drooling over Usui (which I really can't understand)? In my opinion, this series fails as comedy, fails as romance, fails at most everything, basically. |
tehnominator said: Kaichou wa Maid-sama is extremely average, and not even in an acceptable mind rot way. But it's not the most overrated show this season. That would go to Rainbow. Rainbow is rated at 8.22, Kaichou wa Maid-sama at 8.23; Rainbow is definitely the better one among these two, at least in my opinion. |
DarkSageRK said: You're an idiot. The show is fun and that's all that matters. The only failure here is you and your inability to grasp the concept of watching an anime for enjoyment instead of whatever pretentious shit you like to judge your shitty anime by (Monster as your favorite anime? You're trolling me, bro). If you're the average fan of this series, then I'm beginning to understand the scores. My point is that this anime isn't even funny, unless you enjoy watching the same jokes over and over again. |
Most animes aren't funny in the sense that they make me laugh. This one is no exception. But I like it. It's predictable, but the interactions are fun to watch. I don't see where the problem with that is. I may have exaggerated a bit in my first statement, but my question was what exactly is above average in this anime in your point of view. The character interactions aren't really any different from most average shoujo (even shounen) rom-com, I can't see it as enough reason to justify the current scores. |

In my opinion, this series fails as comedy, fails as romance, fails at most everything, basically. Based on your profile I generally prefer dark and complex storylines, but I watch most kinds of anime, except kiddy ones like Pokemon. I'm not much into manga, I've read only a handful of them, mostly after watching the anime adaptation (like Aoi Hana and Elfen Lied). THERE's your answer as why you see it overrated. As to justify that "fangirls drooling over Usui", you can't blame them, since the manga is okay and is actually a good read. I do admit it has it flaws but the manga is really good. Also, even before the anime begun, the manga already has a huge fanbase. It just added that others were surprised and liked the anime version, and some guys, not only girls, really is contented with it. You won't enjoy it because, basically, Kaichou wa Maid Sama isn't deep and Pretentious. I suggest drop the series rather than making yourself feel irritated and as to question WHY do they enjoy this shit. Anyway, I am sensing you're just probably annoyed/BUTTHURT that you're fave anime this season is not doing well in MAL. Honestly, why so care so much on what the scoring system? You can't fucking expect that everybody will rate the same thing as how you would rate it! I don't care if the anime I HATE/dislike is on the top 10 of the MAL rankings, but I won't bitch and start a thread, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE AND YOU GAVE THIS SHIT SUCH A HIGH SCORE. Lastly,  |

     |
| 1. No, for me the most overrated anime of season is "Angel beats". 2. If you visit any website of any anime at MAL, you'll notice that there'll be always at least one person who will say "it's a shit, it's overrated". You're the one here. 3. I still haven't rated it, probably there is going to be 24/26 episodes, so I'm still waiting (I attempt to not rate if I haven't seen at least half of anime). 4. There's something wrong with rating at MAL :) |

| LOL since when a show didn't get overrated by the fanboys or girls? get over it, if you hate it go watch something else, don't hurt yourself by watching something you dislike or bitching about someone's else taste And no i'm not Usui's fangirls i hate him, but i watch it for the maid outfit only XD |
 |
| Yes its average, yes its been done plenty of times before, but its what a lot of people like. Just gotta get used to it. |
  |
| Not that I dislike their work or anything, but I find it somewhat surprising that there would be any question as to what the most overrated series of the season is in a season where KyoAni is doing a show. |

You won't enjoy it because, basically, Kaichou wa Maid Sama isn't deep and Pretentious. I suggest drop the series rather than making yourself feel irritated and as to question WHY do they enjoy this shit. I do enjoy lighthearted series aswell, my point is that this anime isn't anything special, it's miles bellow something like Kimi ni Todoke, for instance. Maybe the manga is good, but the anime isn't (it isn't that bad either, I admit, there are worse shows airing). And what exactly are "pretentious" animes? Shows that care for things like plot and character development? Honestly, why so care so much on what the scoring system?

It's just really a matter of preference. As for me, I didn't like Kimi ni Todoke that much because of MCs, but it was not a bad series, only the MCs were so annoying to watch. I only watched it because of Ryuu Sanada. Pretentious anime = tries to sound smart (and herpderp deep) but utterly fails. |

Karosene said: I think it's sad that some people become so jaded about stuff like music, video games, that they lose sight of what it's all for. Entertainment. Not that I've seen this series, but I've definitely read this argument before. Now I can understand being defensive about people criticizing hollywood films that I find or would find entertaining. However, I don't see that many different movies in theaters anyway and my knowledge of what's generally considered good and bad storytelling isn't as sharp as others. Thus I probably don't have half as much of the experience watching films as many others do who can easily tell how good, bad, or average a movie is to them. Their tastes can vary, but they can tell when a film is flawed or not and explain their reasons in-depth instead of merely saying "eh, I thought it was just funny." That same thing applies to me with anime, only somewhat the opposite. I have seen a bunch of shows, enough for me to tell that when 20-30 shows a season appear, there are a LOT of escapist shows with the creator(s) not putting a whole lot of thought into them, and not a lot of shows that can still prove to be entertaining while still having the audience gradually think about the plot the characters, the art & animations, etc. I actually had this probelm this season with B Gata H Kei, assuming the premise showed how unique and entertaining this show could be, when I realized it made no sense to me and made me want to drop the show by episode 8. And I watched episode 9 without subtitles just to see if it my mind would change. And it didn't. It felt almost as predicatble as I thought. Many shows also use very similar cliche themes and don't bother to try to apply much thought behind them if you watch enough of them. If you tried looking at the preview guides each season in just the past couple of years alone, you probably will notice how many seem to use the same themes, settings, etc. over and over again. Also @ grklein: If it makes you feel any better, I think the highest-rated show this season is Big Windup: the Summer Tournament chapters at # 149, the sequel to a baseball show. Not even Angel Beats or K-ON!! topped that! And I can probably only speak for myself on this, but that show is highly-rated for a REALLY good reason! |

I had the same problem with B Gata H Kei, it was a promising series, but failed utterly. Kaichou wa Maid-sama isn't as bad, but also failed to deliver, in my opinion. |
DarkSageRK said: You know, I just realized. Your average rating is 8.0. If anyone is to talk about overrating shows, it's not you. I admit I'm usually fairly generous when rating anime, but I don't think that's enough reason to disqualify my criticisms. I think this only shows that I do enjoy anime, it's my favorite form of entertainment. |
grklein said: I had the same problem with B Gata H Kei, it was a promising series, but failed utterly. I don't want to go too great into detail about my problem with the show, but basically I hoped Yamada would learn there's more to life than just wanting to have sex or feeling insecure about it (as if there was any reason explained she wanted to have sex with 100 guys). Instead, it fell into these unnecessary scenarios, there wasn't a single adult in the show to guide or teach these influenced teens, half of the characters had no point in being in the show (come on, a childhood friend and a flirting rival with her own set of twinkles?), and Yamada's way of thinking made no sense and felt unrelatable. MorningGlory said: I think Anime has too less sports genre in it.I don't even remember watching any sport genre Anime last year . Rare=Low competition=highly rated Big Windup is incomparable to other Anime .. Eeehhh... I don't think it's entirely incomparable. If we're talking about baseball alone, I think there were a number of people at the ANN forums comparing Big Windup to Cross Game as to how it didn'y have enough romance. That and there's the 6th season of Major. And if we're talking about sports in general, there is Giant Killing this season and there was Hajime no Ippo last year. |
| @Hypeathon LOL Hajime no Ippo ,I totally forgotten that.. Maybe I not a sport fan ,and I just totally overlook those thing . anyway this is out of topic ( bye bye) |
| @DarkSageRK I guess people are asking for an agreement. but even if people agree that this Anime is overrated.You will sure say "The show is fun and that's all that matters." So I think those people who call this Overrated is just wasting their effort. and the process just go on and on and on....but i think this Discussing thread won't reach as long as Angel Beat ^^ |

MorningGloryMay 28, 2010 9:28 AM
I only voicing out my agreement with the op about the series is being overrated despite it's nothing more than just an average show. That was exactly my point, this is just an average series, there's nothing really outstanding about it, but isn't that bad either. Oh, btw, my way of rating is different from yours. 5 is average for me. 6=above average/decent, 7=good, 8=really good, 9=excellent, 10=masterpiece. My way of rating is also a bit different from yours: 5 is bad for me; 6 average; 7 somewhat good; 8 good; 9 very good; 10 great or masterpiece. |
| ...Anime is entertainment. Kaichou wa Maid Sama! is perfect in terms of mindless entertainment. The characters are charming and it's funny, with some romance in there. That's why it's rated high. If it's not your cup of tea, well then, watch something else. |

If it's not entertaining then drop it and don't complain about how you don't agree with the scores. |

| OK honestly i am extremely surprised that Everyone is getting mad at this anime for being overrated but kimi ni todoke. I mean that anime has entered the the top 60 and is tied with Toradora when Toradora is like 10x better than that piece of shit. I do agree that 8.20 for this anime is pretty high but nothing too serious. |
| I personally think Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou is the most over rated series of the season. At 7.8 for a bland plot, one dimensional characters and horrid animation I'm shocked and appalled it has an average rating! It belongs more in the 5-6 range I believe. |

| I don't know if it is the most, but I do think it is overrated. It isn't bad, but nothing about it makes me want to score it above a 6 or 7. |

Ahh, claiming that something is disgustingly overrated by arguing with something that is even more disgustingly overrated... Toradora! was supposedly an amazing series, and in the end, I could barely sit through it. |
| I can't say anything about this season as a whole -- I believe Maid-sama and Working are the only two I started -- but I have to agree that Kaichou wa Maid-sama is turning into a below-average series. I read the first volume of the manga and enjoyed it, hence why I was looking forward to the anime when it was announced there would be an animated adaptation. I watched the first episode or two and, while somewhat disappointed when comparing it to the manga, I enjoyed it enough to keep watching. Slowly, though, I've just been increasingly bored by it. I've lost interest in the characters and the plot is predictable. There is nothing noteworthy about the animation or music. It's cute but the humour feels forced and is therefore not as funny as it should be. Where is the Maid-sama I fell in love with? tl;dr here are much better rom-coms out there. I'm hoping this series either improves because if it doesn't, I might just switch to the manga =/ (which I really don't want to do...my currently reading list is getting too long) |
| i gave this show a 7/10, just so you know what i think of this show but... its an 8.23 by over 7,000 users. if you guys dont like this show, it just means there are alot of people who don't share your opinion. my opinion, specifically, is that this show is not funny, but at least its watchable. i get bored with anime very easily (a show can consider itself lucky if i watch more than 7 of their episodes. if i watch half, then its amazing i have that attention span) and so far im still watching this one. |

It was another average show which didn't deserve the attention it got . . And being on par wit toradora makes it actually look worse . . I mean . . Those two anime are a class apart . . . . |
| Some people are talking about how good Kimi ni Todoke was compared to Kaichou wa Maid-sama, but I actually think they're at the same level (blunt, overracted, predictable, kinda boring, etc). I'll try and watch Kaichou wa Maid-sama until the end, though. Hopefully, the awkward feeling I get while watching it will improve, I don't know ^.^ |

novemberskycat said: While I quite love Kaichou, I can understand why people might not "get" the popularity of it. I think the reason I'm so partial is I've read the manga and enjoy watching the story unfold. It seems a little fluffy at first but it's shoujo and very cute. I also look forward to when it will gain much depth like the manga. There are many animes I've watched which have started out slowly and ended spectacularly. I feel the need to reiterate this is a shoujo romance. Generally these types of genres are not considered "good" by the eh... discerning(trying to find a nice word here)... anime fan. If you dislike shoujo, then it's very likely you probably don't like familiar plotlines. However, just because a plotline is familiar it doesn't necessarily make the show bad. I hate it when people use that excuse to give a bad score. I'm not a huge fan of shoujo romances, but I don't dislike the genre either, this is not my problem with this series. For me, its main faults reside in the shallow characters and predictable and repetitive plot; from what I've read, the manga is far superior to the anime, but the adaptation is quite average in my opinion. Maybe those who read the manga, knowing how the story unfolds and how the characters develop, can ignore these faults; this anime probably was meant primarily to the manga fans, and it seems to have succeded this way. |
grkleinMay 31, 2010 8:15 PM
| Meh.... And again... the guy who gets pissed to the fact that a lame Anime is clearly overrated while it's still airing... First of all, IMHO - MY! - the shows should be rated until they end, or you end watching them 'cause they can get better while they progress. Example: Someone already mentioned Pokemon right? Well just look at the Art of the first season... Compare episode Pikachu, I choose you! and the last of the season... the Art is really better... and much more if you compare that first episode with the recent ones. So they have potential... But Pokemon DP and Pokemon are two different things in the end ne? Well my point is that shows deserve a second opportunity and we all know that they can improve while they're still running. IMO KWMS! Art has gotten a little better, the music sounds and voices are remarkably well done, they are not sloppy or mismatched to the situaion. Maybe the ED is not liked but I loved it 'cause it more or less describe Usui. The plot is generic but it's still okay since they don't over do it plus the premise is nice. And finally the characters are... Well the San Baka are really funny, Igarashi is so funnily menacing, Misaki is awesome yet exaggerated and extremely cuter than in the manga, and finally Usui, still unbelievable like in the manga, but he has his charm But I rate Animes more accordingly to my enjoyment. Meaningm my scores are mostly biased. And If it manages to entertain me, 'cause in the end that's what Anime and Manga are for, I will give them a good rating. If KWMS! ended right now I'd give it an 8 or 7, mostly 'cause the plot is weak. Oh BTW, I do read the manga and I'm up to date... And in the last 6 months I lost my faith for the manga bu the last Chapter and the Anime really revived them! It's so cool seeing all the people being alive, animated and seeing all that funny stuff going on... Really the Anime and the Manga have their charm. Personally I like the Anime 'cause it follows faithfully the manga. The last episode as of now (ep.9) was really WTF but the other episodes were really interesting! Were like I just imagined they would be. And I applaud JC Staff for that 'cause it's not really easy to pull out such thing. Sometimes censorships make you do stupid things to your anime and JC is doing a nice job there. Not that the Anime can be a target for censorship, but you sometimes can display some stuff in air... In the end you know what's the problem? It's not the fact that people overrate it but it's all 'cause MAL's rating system is a little bit screwed up. It really hypes the popular series and dumps some awesome series to low ratings.... SO what should be ask for is a better Rating System, not complaining for the fanboys and fangirls... Consider me a KWMS! fanboy :P Signs, Green |
