It's underrated because its rating is the same as K-ON's. Q.E.D.

I'm glad that Kokoro Connect's Ranking/Score is going up every time I check the page. Notice that I HAVE written a review for Kokoro Connect and not for SAO.

I will admit, SAO also has a brilliant story... but having read 7 of the novels AND having watched the aired episodes so far... but I think that SAO is overrated (I mean, just look at the light novel ratings...) There already exists the bias that the SAO TV series will be just as good as the novels. But honestly, there are other works out there; I think Kokoro Connect has an ingenious story and that despite the difference in how much detail goes into art (I swear the anime industry is pouring all the funding they have into animating SAO), Kokoro Connect does not lose to any show out there.

Of course, I also think that the casting is golden, platinum, whatever- what other show can you see where one seiyuu captures five different characters within a 20-minute time frame? I'm not trying to bash Sword Art Online- but you really gotta hand it to Kokoro Connect for its valiant efforts.

Yes, I agree that the cast has done an amazing job. I'm platinum happy about it.

Recommend for Hyouka, pretty please?

SWO is overrated because the Light Novel is translated and has gained a huge fanbase WAY before the anime(compare the number of people comparing it to the LN). The target audience will definitely like it(action+harem). Novel fans want the side stories to be included and those only watch the anime find the side stories a waste of time.

But Kokoro Connect looks like a harem but is not a harem.
The K-ON art and the premise make it appear to be a romance school life slice of life harem ecchi with 1 lead guy, his harem and a side kick.

Kokoro Connect is underrated because people who saw the art got disappointed that the story is nothing like K-ON.
K-ON haters avoid this because they thought it will be something like K-ON.

How underrated or overrated it is will have to see people reaction to the 2nd arc.

The synopsis has been changed back to the crappy Sentai Filmworks one we had before... why was it changed?

Sentai's isn't showing up for me.

If anything, it was changed back. Thankfully. Also glad to see all the recommendations between this and Hyouka.

It's been changed back, yeah. I think someone keeps trying to change it back to the Sentai Filmworks one for some reason...

It'll be good if we could get one more recommendation between this and Hyouka. Then it'll actually make it onto the Hyouka page without having to click on "More recommendations".

when i get back to high school im going to put up posters of inaban seducing taichi to promote this series.

To the OP,

While I'm all for fans promoting shows they enjoy, I do think that you're tainting the purpose of your thread by comparing KC to SAO. It seems to me that your issue is more about the latter being "overrated" than it is about the former being underrated. KC is in a good spot right now in the rankings and in my humble opinion, I don't think it warrants being any higher. Heck you even have it listed as an 8 which is lower than it's global rating (of course I realize that rating probably wasn't that high when you started this thread, yet you're still campaigning so I assume you want it higher).

If you use an "overrated" show such as SAO as a benchmark for your campaign then you're basically shooting to make KC, which is a decent enough show but nothing spectacular, overrated in the process.
