So I always end up stumbling towards many anime which I always think is good but apparently the internet doesn't share that opinion πŸ˜‚ Like this show has a really good plot line in terms of both of the main characters having amazing development as well as episodes that either leave me completely satisfied with life or has me on the edge of my seat! Like I legit don't understand where the hate towards this show. Unfortunate that the internet is always so critical of things 😭

It been a long time since I watched Assassin's Pride and I forgot most of it, so I can't really tell you what's wrong with it.

All I can tell you is that it is pretty trash. But you like what you like.

I don't hate the show. It's one of the first animes that I've ever seen. It'll always have a special place in my heart but, I do think that it's missing something. I can't put my finger on it, but it needs one more thing. The characters are good, the story is interesting. I think they need to delve in more to the mysticism of all of it. I would never bad mouth Assassins Pride. I enjoyed it.

I didn't mind it, there certainly worse.

Alot of people took offence against it because of what it is, one in a long line of somewhat cheaply made light novel adapations with an incredible overpowered protagonist, set in a magical highschool and no doubth is does take in alot of those Tropez. However it does have a degree of wholesomeness, the main girls are forced to develop and the plot is their. Furthermore the world building is pretty interesting and the art style ain't half bad, some of the figths look pretty good.

So ya all in all, it ain't anything mind blowing but it's a little above average and I think it does what it wants to achieve. It's certainly watchable ligth entertainment and that's all that really matters, glad you found yourself something to enjoyπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘.

The animation and sound were at most average. The characters were trash and not likeable. The story was written by a 10 year old and most importantly the anime itself was rushed.
The only “good” thing was the catchy opening.

But that’s my opinion I guess.

The two first reviews that show are dumb, they say that the start was bad and that the end was good, like literally, the last episode made the least sense and the first one was normal, the animators just probably put wrong tags to this anime and it got to wrong people's hands, that's why the hate, wrong people found kind of good anime.

It was bad imo. I was looking forward to it before it aired because of the cool mc, but it focused too much on the lolis and the plot wasn’t very interesting. Also, the animation was bad.

I wouldn't say it's trash but it felt rushed and compared to the Manga they cut out some content.

Most of them is a people that have watch a tons of anime. That's why they want something new,unique,and very good. I don't know about you,but this show's pretty normal to me. I would give it 6/10 at best. To me,9-10 is a score that I could give to a show that I think close to being masterpiece,or already a masterpiece to me. 7-8 is a good show that I thought was a good experience and maybe could rewatch it a few time. 5-6 is a normal show that I could kill times when I don't have anything to watch.

I enjoyed the anime despite the haters. Of course the anime is a bit rushed but it's rare to get a really good anime that has a 1st season of 12 episodes be great and not be rushed. I enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters and I want to see more of them. I enjoyed the story and the characters. We need another season to see more character development and learn more about their world. I'm hooked to the anime and I wish someone would translate the LN to English. I want to read the LN's so badly.

MAL community is popular for hating things instead of either praising or being neutral.They can't just calm their ass without bashing and slandering. If I dislike any show I will just be neutral but leave it to the Elitist who think they are top of food chain and deem worthy to judge things instilling more prejudice. I really hate them with passion.

In my opinion, series was quiet entertaining and I really enjoyed and I too love the dynamics of two main Characters. Show was overall 8/10 to me.

There will always be someone that doesn't like something that you enjoy. Or vice versa.

For instance, a lot of people love Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. (like me) And then there are also people who think it is average, overrated or worse.

So-- and this message is for everyone who reads it to be honest-- just watch what you enjoy and what other people think is irrelevant to that. don't let negative people ruin a good anime experience for you.

i forgot this even existed until i watched the first episode. it really isn't deserving of the hate, especially from the three pronounced reviews on the site.

It's not anything to write home about, but it's not unwatchable by any means. If people would get over their stupidity and realize that THE CHARACTERS ARE FICTIONAL AND ANIMATED they'd be able to sit back and just enjoy a show, instead they superimpose their (or their countries) standards upon the animation/animators and force themselves to have a bad time.

Is it worth watching? Kinda. i gave it a 6, which is passable but again, nothing to write home about.

I've just finished the series. at first I thought the same thing, why the hate? but then because I curious about this, I thought I give it a shot to complete. and now I understand why it's low on the rating, and most of people hate this.

so after watching all of this, I still couldn't find the "punch" for this series. I mean, what's the point of all of this? it lacks of foundation, every single conflict. I like the concept, but it's just feels like something is off.

I don't know if it's the studio at fault for interpreting what's in the novel, or it's just bad storytelling from the original story.

Bro people really need to stop analysing animes and enjoy them more
I ve seen a lot of comments with the colors or the animation being mid
Bro u can t have JJK animation on every anime
The colors?Tf?I ve enjoyed most of the animes and never see any bad thing abt the color..learn to enjoy something and expect that not all the animes are the same
Some of them have their own charm like this one
Pretty unique storyline
Kufa was amazing and Melida was soooo cuteee
Animation was great for me
I recommend to read the manga bcs i heard the anime rushed it...(don t know why)

I just finished this anime and I can 100% see why someone would hate it.
It's boring, the story is cheap, the characters are one-dimensional and the relationship between Melita and her tutor makes this disgusting.
IMO The only great thing that happened in this story was the past of Vampyr and his sister, but that certainly doesn't save the anime.

I just rewatched this series and I want to say that this series is overhated. I feel like most of the complaints was directed to the "student-teacher" romance bait, which honestly a pretty unfair way to judge series as a whole based on this point alone.

Probably the biggest selling point for me is the worldbuilding, and fairly unique setting. you dont usually see late Victorian Era anime when compared to the usual medieval. This is Final Fantasy tier of WB and I enjoyed it alot.
The animation might not be the best, but the art direction is pretty good. Kufa is likeable. and the rest of the casts are fun.

It's not masterpiece or anything, but this deserves higher score. I've seen way worse fantasy anime with higher score than this one.

Probably the tourists brigading and downvoting it because of the lolis. It's like kryptonite to them lol.
It's a pretty decent show with a unique setting. We have no Idea what happened to the world, why is it in eternal darkness, etc.
The execution might have not been great, but that's just how most anime are, unfortunately.
I'll probably start reading the LN once I'm done with Lord Marksmen and Vanadis.

Imo, its because this show feels like you're getting a highlight reel of a book. If these 12 episodes were extended into 24 I think they could have done a bit better. I feel like it's most obvious with Nerva, her total flip in character from antagonizing Meldia to now supporting here happens in a handful of lines. I'm sure the manga or light novel delivered that in a way which was satisfying, but this anime just washes over it. It feels like a show made for the light novel readers, not as a standalone work.

This anime is peak guilty pleasure. If you don’t take it seriously it’s a great time, sort of like Arifureta. I mean the MC is an assassin samurai half-vampire lmao What’s not to love?

10/10 in terms of enjoyment. A work of art made for true connoisseurs of trash. If you only watch unironically good anime, you’re missing out on a lot of fun imo.

@1List2RuleThemAl It's not "pedobait" as everyone is a teenager here....and it's anime.
I ship whoever I want, whenever I want and if you complain, I'm shipping them harder. :)
