I'm trying to finish Shiki (even though I had dropped it) and I can't stand this shit show. It seriously makes me want to scream and I can't understand how people like it. The characters are also stupid and annoying and the art is goddam awful. not to mention the horrendous pacing. ARGHHH

It is #1 on this site so you'll get lots of hype backlash. My only real gripe with anything related to FMA: Brotherhood is the fact that not many people here are willing to accept it's flaws. It's my second favorite anime and deserves it's hype but I can still say it's got flaws of it's own (much like any series).

Definitely. I was worried where it'd be another Madoka Magica and I get bored of it after the first read or so but seeing all the little tidbits and foreshadowing thrown in earlier makes it even better the 2nd time around

Oh, I'm so PROUD of you! Seriously, not joking. You shouldn't stick up until the very end to have an opinion.

of course my opinion is valid until Chapter 6 or 7?, sometimes try to resume the series but the finish left ... the problem is that it is taken seriously and that's when the nonsense lose their grace... means?

Don't make it valid till whatever chapter number you think of just because anyone told you it is. Make it valid to the very end of a series regardless.

Is it because this nonsense is taken seriously? Oh wait, every anime is non-sense when compared to IRL.

well ...

if you do a stupid show, you should show it as a stupid series and not try to be serious as mirai nikki, an example of something well done is fate / zero, have the same thematic, but is much better written, has a message destruction of ideals, is dark and all ...

I felt the same way while watching it. It was just mediocre in so many areas, but none more prominent then pacing. My goodness, the pacing was unreal in that show.

Overrated: KLK

Underrated: GBF

Story: KLK became repetitive and dull after episode 7, and they spent insufficient episodes on the last arc. GBF's story went more interesting at part 2

GBF has superior music and fighting scenes, while KLK's fighting scenes were nothing more than powerpoint

People here only rated KLK higher because most of them have prejudice against Mecha

It is so dense. Every single image has so many things going on.

It cant get any worse than One Piece's pacing. For me the pacing wasnt really bothering me, it was more how indecisive the series was in WHICH characters they wanted to focus on during the story.

It's a personal opinion to some who don't like the higher rated series as much as most. Nothing wrong with that.

Nope, nothing wrong with it. Yet the fact still is that for the time being you guys are closer to the wrong than those who did like it.

Might as well close down this forum then. This is a discussion board and that is the reason why we have this thread.

I'm not disagreeing with you, however look into more discussions about anime.

Focusing too much on numeric ratings often limits you to only ratings and not the discussion about the anime itself.

Um well

The feels

EL was my first anime, so I didn't think the dub was that bad at the time. Don't worry, I re watched it subbed.

JD, basically think about your experience with clannad, that was probably similar to my experience with EL

To be honest, I was joking a bit in my above post. I agree that One Piece, Gurren Lagann, and Berserk are overrated (though only a tad bit for the latter two). It's just that I would have liked to see your reasoning.

I still like the artstyle a lot. Didn't the series go on hiatus in the first place because the author's drawing hand got banged up in a car accident?
