Grand Blue Dreaming
| The humour is so dull, I don't find the jokes funny at all, forced fujoshi bait and horrible use of facial for comedy purpose. Prison school is better, even if it is not as good as it once was, the art of this series doesn't fit the comedy astmosphere this series has. I don't normally make threads like these, but this 9.00 rating is ridiculous. This series has got tons of praise so let me be the first to give it a negative opinion. |

| Ahh come on, the facial expressions are great... I think Grand Blue's hilarious but to each their own, I guess. |
| kera, you know what, i also don't find it "that" funny, but i wouldn't call it overrated since you know, they actually has lot of side appealing to MAL audience... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Been a while since I've seen overrated/underrated thread huh.... Some humour don't appeal to me but I still find the series quite enjoyable to read. Prison School manga sounds very interesting, and I might go for it when I feel like it... |
| You're less likely to find criticim of mangas with no anime adaptation than criticism of mangas that do have one. And besides, less than 10,000 people rated it. |

That's not really the problem, humour is subjective in the first place, and as you said GB has a lot of appeal for its college setting. Also the exaggerated facial expressions work precisely for this over the top comedy, counting both of its popularity(and sales) in Japan and west. At the end of the day there wasn't really any point in comparing it to Prison school in the first place but well you can take a hint why.... well, TBF, I HATE PRISON SCHOOL! |

| Wow, if there was ever evidence to support that wrong opinions exist, this thread would be it. "I don't like something, so it has to be overrated." lol. |

I find grand blue much funnier than prison school and it has better art my problem with prison school is it's outstright abusive and offensive... it's oftenly make me feel bad than laugh... at least, grand blue character actually an asshole (and likeable asshole at it!), so i don't feel pity, instiead it feel satisfying... |

| You mean underrated right? Dude, just because you do not like something doesn't mean that it won't be liked by the mass. Take for example SnK, we know that the series is so bad on every aspect, from a stale plot to one of the worst character designs till date in the medium, but people still do like it(idk why tho). But in the end I too can't deny the fact that it provides entertainment albeit in small amount. So, we can say people like what they like and if you try to sway people to your taste then even the eternity won't suffice to fulfill the task. |

Was a bit surprise that no one hasn't taken a random jab at snk, even though everyone knows its my favorite. Was just about to believe that mal has finally mature a bit. But thanks for proving me right. :) Extect said: I agree. I HATE PRISON SCHOOL as well. I find grand blue much funnier than prison school and it has better art How is the art better?

I guess you are going to even think lesser of me now. Oh, I didn't know that SnK was among your favourites! Replace SnK with SAO, NGE or any other popular show in my previous comment. IDK why you get so boiled over your favourites though. When some1 takes a jab at my favourites which are Fairy Tail, Bleach and KHR so obviously I get them all the time, I just reply with a 'that so'. Didn't mean to take a jab at your fav show, sorry. Just chill out man, didn't mean to hurt your sentiments. |

| Well I'll agree that it being above the likes of Kingdom and 20CB now is a bit ridiculous, but either way it's still a very good comedy manga I think. One of very few that have actually managed to make me laugh out loud multiple times. Of course it's not *always* funny but what is really |

| @cchigu I like how you try to twist it around on me, to try make it look I was butthurt, which I clearly wasn't. I knew before I even made this post that persons would take a jab at snk, because a lot of folks know that I am a snk fan. You are here since 2013 and you did not know that I was a snk fan? Even though I use to have a lot of snk related signature on my post? I call bullshit. Anyways this topic is about grand blue, not snk, sao, bleach ect. Just shows how butthurt you where that you had to pull the random jab card on me. |

About the art of grand blue vs prison school. I undervalued the art of prison school in my head so you're right it has better art (specifically characters). But I felt like grand blue is much better at setting up a beautiful scene with the art. Also about SnK I've never really understood the hate. It's a decent series |

It's a decent series I'm not as active on the forum as I once was, and since you joined in 2016 it makes sense. The user that I was talking about is on mal since 2013 and I have interacted with him on more than one occassion. So I was calling out his bullshit. Ok I see what you are saying about the art. |

Everything he said was either completely subjective, or just flat out wrong. People bitching about this aren't just doing it BECAUSE he has a different opinion. They're doing it because his reasoning is terrible. |
|
| @Kittens-kun I just felt like posting that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and I just meant the initial one. He didn't find it funny, others did. That is his subjective opinion and others has their own subjective opinion. So...this fits? Reasoning CAN be subjective after all... |

Well, he's just flat out wrong in saying that it's overrated and it has forced fujoshi bait. Everything else he said was subjective, which I also disagree with of course. So no, it doesn't fit. |

| @Kittens-kun I'm not that far in the manga, so can't tell if it's fujoshi bait or not. And you just said it's subjective. |

Kittens-kun said: Yes, that's what the word means <__<"I don't like something, so it has to be overrated." lol. |
 |
| So you think that a slow, boring manga which is filled with full of nonsense ecchi scenes is better than Grand blue? Prison school arguably has the worst female characters in a manga ever(except Chiyo) Also,story and pacing of grand blue is way more funny and interesting and it also does not spend 50+ chapters on a single boring sports event |
| I agree. This manga sucks because it is overrated and my favorite manga isnt in top 10. Also, Prison School is a masterpiece with its one of the best god-tier story arc and that's obviously the Sports Festival arc. :) |

| Grand blue eh... Is it really that funny, don't trust MAL ratings nowadays but what level of comedy we talking. Gintama? Prison School? D-Frag? |

| You got to be shittin me, Prison school? you dare compare GB to that piece of disgusting shit with huge boobies girls dripping sweat and the boys actually fantasizing on drinking that shit or guys wanting to lick girl's hairy armpits.... GB's a fun manga that doesnt rely on disgusting shit (well, guys do go full on nude but its not as horrific as the ideas that prison school has) but heck, to each their own, I for one find Grand Blue underrated. |

| Why do people care so much about the ratings and rankings? |

| tbh, all your points are subjective, that 9.00 rating just mean that people enjoy this series that much, people wouldnt give high rating without no reason, except for pingu in the city, that was clearly masterpiece |
