Unlike most people here. I have to agree with the rating. Fractale and Houro Musuko are boring in my opinion. Especially compared to Mahou Shoujo Madoka. Damn the trolling. |

This is just for last week right, not overall? It's not surprising that ratings would be lower given everything that's going on. Fractale isn't my favorite show, but it's not bad by any means, it's pretty good actually. So it's surprising that it would get low ratings. Hourou Musuko definitely isn't everybody's cup of tea, but it's one of my favorites this season, so it's sad to see it not doing well. |

Ah, that’s a shame. While I don’t really like Fractale as a whole, for it was mostly boring and trying to be “deep” when plot-holes were everywhere and let’s say the art is quite outdated, it isn’t entirely bad. And, as things go for Hourou Musuko, it disappoints me that it has such low rating since it is a truly bold show, and IMHO, one that shows real life’s teenagers problems as they are, no sugar or sprinkles to make you see things in the best light. I feel it’s a great experience, my favorite of the season, even if for many it seems like a disgusting theme. |

Because what it DOES cover, it covers decently. Now if you'll just look at what score I gave the manga... Urufuzu_rein said: FFandMMfan said: Urufuzu_rein said: HM is brilliantly directed and no manga readers could convince me otherwise. Bad as an adaptation =/= bad as a stand-alone anime. ...You're an idiot. Yes, if something as a bad adaptation, it is a bad anime. Especially when you NEED to read the manga to even understand anything that is going on. Remember when Doi showed Shu's diary to the entire school and embarrassed him, causing him to tell him he hates him later in episode 10? Oh, right, you never saw that happen because you didn't read the fucking manga, stupid. I understand what's going on without reading the manga. Everything I needed to know has been implied. I don't need spoon-feeding. And, about the adaptation thingie, Higurashi is a bad adaptation but, as opposed to Umineko, it's pretty decent as a stand-alone anime. Once again, bad as an adaptation =/= bad as a stand-alone anime. If you don't agree with this, say it in a nice manner. No more name-calling please. Higurashi is just as bad as Umineko is. The VNs for both spit upon their half-assed adaptations. |

Iisan-kun said: Now I just don't get why ratings matter so much. By and large, noitaminA shows bomb on DVD/BD and have little merchandising potential. Without TV ratings, there's no financial reason for the slot to exist since the odds of producing a profitable series would be so low. noitaminA was special in that it was a late night slot that could sustain itself via strong TV ratings. |

How disappointing, though I wouldn't be surprised if these ratings were largely due to the current situation in Japan. Many of the series that have been on Notiamina are some of my favorites. It would be such a shame if it were to be canceled.     |

Watching Hourou Musuko make me tired, especially when Nitori talks but overall it's pretty nice show. As for Fractale, watch and forget.  |

kuroshiroi said: Aren't large parts of Japan without power still and focusing on other things? How do these numbers compare to other shows airing this week? Not to mention, that who has time to watch anime when there are things to do like wait in line for hours for gas or help the people that need help, perform rescue operations, find the 10k+ still reported missing... I think there are plenty of more important things than anime right now. Oh, and the fact that food and water sources are becoming irradiated past healthy levels in some areas.  |

If chapters were cut out to the degree where shit literally did not make sense anymore, then fine, you could call it the worst adaptation ever. But Hourou Musuko is different in the sense that as an anime it works sufficiently without them. THE.FIRST.FOUR.VOLUMES.WERE.ENTIRELY.SKIPPED. |

At first, I was really surprised about this o_o since both series seem to be well-liked - at least on the forums here... But then again, this is true: Arcadies said: Does this dude not realize most of his country is in emergency status and occupied with other things at the moment?  |

I thought Hourou Musuko was getting better... First few episodes bored me out but recent episodes were less boring...      |

fri said: Fractale has too many boring eps, or fillers, whatever you want to call them: - a girl playing hide and seek, - hacking board computer with an iPod, - loitering around in a digital city, - watching the laundry dry... This is not how an interesting plot goes. And the "bad" characters are shown so rarely I barely know who's who. No wonder it didn't sell. And, finally, Nessa is freaking annoying. I know most of you like her, but I just can't stand another series which is that much centered on a little brat. The fact that she has the voice of Yui makes it even worse. Fractale would be better if it had 6 episodes. Like Aim for the Top! series. this post +1 Wandering son is too mishandled to be called great best in season Level E and Madoka (no sh*t right?) / 人◕ ‿‿ ◕人 \ / 人◕ ‿‿ ◕人 \ / 人◕ ‿‿ ◕人 \ / 人◕ ‿‿ ◕人 \ / 人◕ ‿‿ ◕人 \ |

Well, it sure isn't one of my favorite noitamina seasons so far, but Fractale has a great concept and HM is very well executed (haven't read the manga and I don't care what they left out, it makes sense, though many things are implied and not shown on screen. But it seems it is a good thing I don't know the manga, otherwise I would maybe be unsatisfied too), but Noitamina shows don't seem to get the acknowledgement they deserve. Next two seasons seem very promising too and with AnoHana I think there's a show that has a good chance to be successful with the mainstream too. Check out our new Simul Watch CLUB and join if you're interested in watching stuff together with other people online to discuss about it in a more private and detailed matter than the episode discussion subforums can provide. Also the Custom Tags Club, if you like to customize your tags and don't want to wait until the MAL feature is fixed. If Death Note is "chess", LotGH is "3D Chess." - lisnoire Code Geass would be Rock-Paper-Scissors in this analogy. Guilty Crown? xthedestroyer said: Go Fish! |

O_o...I can't believe it... I think that both of the anime are very great and interesting to watch. I wish the rating of the last episodes will be higher. |
