I'd go as far as to say that this deserves the top score. I've only given out six 10s, this is one of them.

I can see it dropping, though. The first half will confuse a lot of people who may even drop it and rate it 1 or something.

I think this will stay top #1 for a while.

Nah, people aren't that dumb. lol

It will drop, as CG R2, though in the future we gonna see Kara no Kyoukai sixth movie ranked #1, and then the same with the last one.

You greatly underestimate the power of human stupidity.

how would u know? u havnt even seen any of the movies yet. what ur saying is just an assumption with no basis behind it, KnK 5 really deserves #1. it is even regarded in the novel as being the best ch so chances are the next 2 wont rank as high, and CG R2 dropped down a little cuz the ending was terrible but it stayed high cuz all the fans who wouldnt admit it was bad kept their scores as 10's.

So what? You gave a 9 to Azumanga Daioh and an 8 to Lucky Star, keep saying that you gave few 10, but to be honest you haven't watched many things that really deserve a 10.

No point arguing with this one.. lol

Its either the fans of Gurren Lagann or trolls will bring this down. Either way, I'm pretty confident it will stay #1 because the movie was awesome.

Nah. Paradox Spiral was universally considered to be the best of all seven chapters in the original KnK novels, while Oblivion Recorder was also universally considered to be the worst.

I believe that the order originally went something like this, with a few minor variations:

Paradox Spiral > Murder Speculation 2 > Remaining Sense of Pain > Murder Speculation 1 > The Hollow Shrine > Overlooking View > Oblivion Recorder

Inb4 Elitist comments. Maybe even Defiance but i doubt he watches this.

Uh...

qft

Lol stop speaking nonsense, Code Geass R2 started high, then dropped and rised again because the ending was epic. I haven't watched any of the movies, yeah, but it doesn't matter when we are talking about this. With "this" I mean the top rated series with lots of sequels, which avoid low scores. It happened with Aria, with Code Geass, with Higurashi, with Clannad, with Junjo Romantica, with Black Lagoon, do I have to continue telling series that have sequels with higher scores than the first seasons just because they avoid low scores? I'm not saying this movies are bad, in fact I'm pretty sure they gonna get a 8~10 in my list, but I think top #1 is only happening because the prequels.

About this being the best of the seven chapters, I don't really know, nor I care, it doesn't change the fact that this won't get any real score under 6 (Who's gonna watch 4 movies giving them low scores? They'll probably drop the series at the second/third movie). Therefore it will be high rated.

Screenshotted.

the R2 end was terrible, the only saving grace was the last ep but the 5 before that went by so fast that it was impossible to tell what was going on... but this isnt a CG thread so this isnt the place.
but theres a problem with ur logic... these arent separate series, all 7 are considered 1 series, its a set of 7 ova's that make up a complete series. and YES IT DOES MATTER. u cannot judge something like KnK without experiencing it. until u do ur opinion has absolutely no basis to it, bringing up other series's is not an argument.
and btw, Clannad S2 is better then S1.
please stop having negative assumptions about anime without watching them, its just common sence.

¿?

Sorry, but I find it illogical. Series having many sequels gets higher score that is.

and to add, all those series u mentioned didnt get low scores. the scores are considered high by MAL standards. if ppl wanted to check the MAL list to see what to watch those series's scores arnt low enough were ppl would avoid them.

To Ketuekigami:

You aren't getting right what I'm trying to say, it seems. Let's say a random user watches the first Kara no Kyoukai movie, and says "Hey this isn't as good as I thought, I'll give it a 6 cause I got a little bored.. but I'll give a try to the next one."

Then he watched the second one and says: "Well... this isn't good." and gives it a 5. With this I can safely say that this guy didn't really like this series, therefore it's probable that he won't even complete it. Therefore, the next movies won't get the 5~6 this user was currently giving to the series. I'm bringing up other series to show you how everything works in this kind of rankings. In the case of Aria, the second season is THE SAME as the first one, but it has a higher score than the first one. Why? Because nobody will bother watching the second seasons if they didn't even complete the first one. But it seems you can't accept that the same is happening here, the only reason for this to be top #1 is that, it won't receive even one low score (except for some troll which already have given this some -4 scores).

I don't really see any reason why anyone would "drop" KnK; After seeing so many people giving something high praise, most people will be compelled to finish to see why. Well, that's under the assumption that everyone here have basic comprehending skills (?).

Another thing is that, ARIA is not suitable for comparison, since Aria is so episodic. KnK is viewed as a whole. Missing out one movie is as if missing an important organ (dropping because you dont get it in the first place is just plain stupid). People drop things only when the plot becomes so rotten and predictable, main characters becomes annoying, or maybe the art sucks (list more if you want), those of which KnK don't have.
