I don't get the hate for this season. It is just as good as other seasons. For me, it's the first time I actually care to watch more than 5 seasonals. There aren't many sequels, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad. You get adaptions from famous manga (Dorohedoro) and unknown ones (Eizouken). Hell, Eizouken's manga isn't popular enough to have a score.
Every anime that I'm currently watching has its own charm(except Darwin's game but I'm still going to finish it though)
Two of them even made me start their respective manga(I never do that because I don't want to be spoiled)
Maybe I'm wrong, but I am truly satisfied with this season.

So why do you dislike(or maybe like) this season?

Edit: Sorry, I made a mistake in the title

Because of lack of large number of sequels, people are butthurt. Personally, I think it's a great season, much better than most of the seasons from last year.

I think it's a pretty nice season to be honest, but then again I just returned to watching anime after a ~3 year break so I don't really have a comparison point to (recent) previous seasons. Currently watching 6 airing shows in addition working on the 2020 anime watching challenge.

I have just hopped on this season and it's pretty good...i don't see why people aren't giving some shows a chance when they deserve it. But i guess everybody's looking forward to next season with Rezero, Kaguya sama and Oregairo etc...

I don't think this season is bad.

I am watching Haikyuu from this season release and continuing BnHA 4, Mairimashita Iruma-kun and Ahiru no Sora from last season. If I count them within this seasons list, this isn't that bad for me.

Same here, only three anime are interesting to me. In comparison to last season with 9 shows and next season with (so far) 8 shows, that is pretty low.

I watch 12 anime from this season and while some of them like Dorohedoro, Haikyuu, Id:Invaded, Eizouken and Somali and the Forest Spirit are simply great, the others are nowhere near bad and I haven't dropped even one of them because I genuinely enjoy all of them.

This season is great with plenty of new anime.

It doesn't have many sequels so I guess that's why people dislike this season? But when we compare this season to the previous season where there were a bunch of sequels, this season is much better in my opinion.

Its meh. It has Railgun T, Bofuri, Interspecies Reviewers, and Eizouken which are all pretty great. But it also has Haikyuu 4, Darwins Game, Plunderer, and Isekai Quartet 2 which are terrible. It still beats out last season which only had like 2 good-looking shows, but there is nothing that I would rate a 9 or 10 this season. Haikyuu is trash though; it makes the entire season worse just by existing.

Oh come on, don't be like that. I haven't watched a single episode, but this show has a lot of dedicated fans. If this anime makes them happy, its existence certainly can't be that bad.

It seems you like psychological and sci-fi gerres. Maybe ID:Invaded may suit your tastes.

People who always complain about some season being bad do it because they have spent most of their life watching anime, so they kind of find most shows generic. They say stuff like anime isn't good anymore etc. I guess that's what you could get if you watch a lot of anime

Yes it's truly amazing. It's fresh, crazy, random and it has an unique world building. The characters are so lovable and somehow feel realistic(not the sociopathic parts, but the way they interact with each other) The animation is better than I expected. Also, the openings and endings suit the anime so well. I'm happy to see such dedication for this anime.

I enjoy this season, it has 3 shows I absolutely love - Dorohedoro, ID:Invaded and Kyokou Suiri. Damn, Dorohedoro alone makes this season awesome - I love every second of it and it’s so aesthetically pleasing. Hayashida-sensei is a genius, I send her all my love.

Why do people keep complaining about this season... just watch it and enjoy it damnit. Don't compare it to last year's winter, it's different. This season is filled with new shows. There's no room for hype in this season. Except for dorohedoro and hero academia. But then again, hero academia s4 is labelled as the worst season... wth does these people want? Just one bad animation and ppl call it bad and rated it 5 and below? Come on... if you're a fan you'e got to stay loyal to the end at least. It wasn't all that bad... at least deku's final smash was good enough.

I don't have any reasons to dislike this season. It's just the same as any other season. I enjoyed it. Somali is great, it's been long since the last time i watch a pure fantasy sol without isekai stuff in it. Hanako kun is good. Even though it lacks a good animation a literally powerpointed every scene in the manga, WHO CARES!!? At least Ogata Megumi had a role where she doesn't need to get into a frickin robot. Darwins Game is good. I like Kobayashi Yusuke and... although it reminds me of the fact that rezero s2 hasn't aired yet, i like it. His VA is the same as always. I have no complains. And there is also... rising of shield loli... it made me happy, it doesn't even try to be edgy. Just a regular cgdct that refreshed my mind.

Do i even have to explain why i like Ishuzoku, Dorohedoro and Eizouken? No. But if there's a reason to dislike this season, the blame lies for the Ishuzoku fans (only some of them actually). But all of those voting to take ove the top list is just ridiculous. It might be a good joke. But it ruins the mood. Gimme back my peaceful winter season x(

Why does a show feel generic? Cuz you don't even bother to value it in the first place. You already had no expectations for it. You're afraid of the bad taste it leaves when you realized it was bad and you've wasted your time all along. I can understand why those who have watched it hate it. But there is also the type of person who didn't even watch it, and hated it. But, why? Why does a person who doesn't even watch it complain? Why do these people exists? Cuz they have a better thing to do. But they choose to bitch about every single thing for being generic cuz it doesn't suit their taste. What are these people trying to tell? Every anime shall suit their taste and be good? Smh. You've gotta be kidding me. Stop acting like an elitist.

Idc about haters. Whatever their reasons are. I enjoy and follow my own principle. A good anime is one you watch without getting influenced by any impressions of others. A pure entertainment that you experienced with your own glasses. Not others.

Decent sequels this season:
Haikyuu S4
Railgun T

Decent manga adaptations:
Eizouken (lots of love behind this show)
Hanako-kun (thrilling, tho not much as manga)
Somali (its a'right, getting them feels r8)
Reviewers (no half-heartedness in adaptation)
Dorohedoro (getting better with each episode)

So this season can be best described as a 'decent' season, with tons of mediocre anime of all shapes and sizes lurkin' about...

Incredible looking season as far as I'm concerned. I dont like to watch shows until they're done airing but I watched the first ep of dorohedoro and eizouken and they were excellent. I'm also interested in checking out pet, somali to mori, and id. I'm usually lucky if I get like two or three shows a season I have any interest in.

However I don't think Winter 2020 will be the strongest season of the year, so far I am really looking forward to Summer 2020 the most

It's not really that bad tbh. Id:Invaded is easily AoTS, Haikyuu S4 is doing pretty well, In/Spectre is very entertaining to watch, Rikei ga Koi is wholesome af, Murenase is surprisingly kinda funny, Pet and Dorehedoro are pretty unique kinda shows, number24 has an awesome protagonist, Smile on the Runway has a pretty good rags to riches story,


I mean, for sure there are a few meh/bad ones like Oshi ga Budoukan, 22/7, Eizouken, Infinite Dendrogram, Jeweller Richard but that's to be expected from every season

No, it is not, those who claim such a thing are just sheep with the most mainstream taste possible who can't think for themselves and must always follow some kind of hype train to watch something....smh. -__-;

I'm not a seasonal watcher though, but this season has the most anime i ever added to my PTW list so far, usually i don't add more than 2-4 anime from a season at most, but this time, i have a lot of anime that really do interest me, i don't think i ever had that many, to be exact: 12 TV anime and 4 movies.

Of course i may delete some from the list if i later find out they have a element(s) that i'm not confortable with and would rather not watch, but even so, there'll probably still be plenty left in case that happens!

> Is Winter 2020 is THAT bad?

Without even having watched anything from Winter 2020 yet, I'm going to say "no it's not".

When I return to this opinion some years later, after watching at least one show from this season, I will almost certainly think the same thing.

I know taste is subjective and all, but I completely cannot understand calling Eizouken mediocre. It's the highlight of my week, along with Chihayafuru, In/Spectre, and Haikyuu.

I'm watching 10 Winter 2020 shows and maybe 2 or 3 are just ok with the rest above average or better. I've got no complaints.

Okay I'm not watching anything right now, because I have started to get into anime again only recently, but I'm really interested in Dorohedoro, Somali to Mori no Kamisama (have read the manga partly, I like it) and well, the season of Haikyuu that I will end up watching sooner or later.

Based on the synopsis I think I'll like Id:Invaded.

And based on ratings and reviews, looks like Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! is pretty good.

Season looks alright to me. Seen worse, seen better.

Every season is the best AND the worst at the same time according to MAL.

You'll get used to seeing this type of comments eventually. As for me, I think it is a decent season. Not the best season ever but a good season none the less.

I'm quite enjoying this season tbh & I'm watching a fair few shows. There's a few series carried over from last season I'm still watching:

Case File n221 Kabukichou Sherlock
Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath of the Gods
Welcome to Demon School: Iruma-kun

This season I have picked up & am watching (otherwise I would have dropped them), in order of enjoyment:

Interspecies Reviewers
Nekopara
In/Spectre
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
Somali & the Forest Guardian
Haikyuu
Hatena Illusion
Toilet-bound Hanako-kun
Sorcerous Stabber Orphen
Bofuri
Infinite Dendrogram
RikeiKoi
Overflow (which finished Sunday)
Come Together! to the Seton Academy

Overall i think it's a pretty decent season, but as another poster aboved above, I have only recently gotten back into anime & only started watching seasonally airing shows last Spring 2019, so this is only my 3rd full season. But from what I've seen, I can't see why anyone could complain, there seems to be something for everyones tastes. I haven't even mentioned the other sequels like Railgun T.

Why do people whine and complain that 'X' season is bad?I am tired of such remarks.This seems to be trend for every season.
Yes,I think the season is good.It may not have any hard-hitter but it still provides a good catalogue of shows.There isn't any anime that I might rate 9 or 10 but there are a good amount of 7 and 8's.

Good shows this season IMO
Eizouken
Somali
ID INVADED
Pet
Oshi ga Budoukan
Dorohedoro
Railgun

Shows you must stay away at all cost
Hatena Illusion
