It is dumb tho, how is it not?

It is coming from people who are fans of the source material. It is not a neutral opinion to judge someone on. And as such there are many people who are re:zero fans and they like it over AOT, so cannot outright call them dumb for liking re:zero.

Now I am a Re:Zero fan (I like Re:Zero over AOT or Kaguya or any other show). But I agree that Re:Zero overtaking AOT S3P2 is an over-exaggeration. As far as the score is concerned, I don't think Re:Zero S2 will go higher than 8.8-ish (maybe max 8.9 because some scenes are pretty good). And maybe it will fall down to ~8.6 after few months. But it will beat Kaguya in popularity (total member count) by a large margin. It will be the most popular show to air in 2020.

I didn’t call them dumb for liking Re:Zero, I said them thinking it is going 2 surpass the 7th highest rated series of MAL was.

I can’t Re:Zero hitting 8.8, I say like 8.4-8.5.

Ur joking right? Please tell me ur not actually serious. Re:Zero passing AOT might be the dumbest thing I've heard in a thread all year.

Its more of a personal thing for me, i tend to value three main things in an anime: #1:Does it have a good story? #2: does the anime utilize its entire cast without benching characters. (Fading into the background/dissapearing from the show/not having alot of screentime). #3: Animation/presentation quality (last one cant be judged yet due to the season not being out.)Starting from season 2, Re zero accomplishes all three extremely well,while Attack on titan accomplishes 1 and 3 masterfully althought Re zero S2 does beat it in 2 by a long mile. i usually Rank 2 as the most important thing for me,which is where my bias comes in. I probably should apologize for the attack on titan Remark thought, its not happening and im just really hyped to see the arc animated so i may have gone overboard.

It’s ok man, I like Re:Zero and I’m excited for the new season but it’s a pretty impossible task 2 have a higher score than AOT 3 PT 2 and to maintain it.

Nah it's good dude I get it, it's been a while since Season 1 but overhyping a new season can kill said particular season like MHA 4 (which would have been better if they had all their original staff working on it and not on the movie) and more recently Tower of God (no excuse here).

Honestly im just glad general spoilers seem to be honing in on just one thing at the start,the season has alot of good stuff that i really dont want to see ruined for anime onlies.

U won't they don't want 2 be spoiled so they won't read any of this shit.

Okay, I have seen a pattern in these comments within this thread. It is highly regarded and stated that not many anime will even have the potential to surpass AOT season 3 part 2 in terms of ratings, like ever. But in saying that, before season 3 even aired, did people ever think before that it will end up getting such high score? Sure people who have read the manga source said it will but it was uncertain for anime-onlies. In saying that, the same logic can be applied to ReZero season 2. Source readers say that it will be an amazing season because they have the read the content for it but then people who have not read the source content, say it won't surpass it. The way I see it, it's purely hypothetical if season 2 will ever surpass AOT season 3. It may or may not, who knows? Also, another thing to point out is that part 1 of season 3 AOT massively built up the hype for part 2 of season 3. Season 2 of ReZero is a split cour season and many source readers agree that the second cour will be far superior then cour 1 and I agree with this statement. So a similar scenario might occur or it might not. Only time will tell.

AOT S3P2 is the penultimate season, and as such provided solid conclusions to open plot threads, and most of the mystery in the show gets addressed. The manga is finished so the entire story (and conclusion) is known.

ReZero will have atleast 5-6 seasons (and the LN is incomplete), and season 2 just marks the beginning of show's main story (from what I've heard)

So I don't think it'll reach such high scores yet. I'm expecting around 8.6, mostly because source readers say it is much better than Season 1.

(I haven't read the LN/WN for Season 2 yet)

It depends on the studio. AoT had a great studio, Re:Zero with a decent studio like White Fox can not make that.

The regular but obligatory comment on how MAL scores mean jack-shit and have no significance on the quality of the anime being made. Nor does Nippon even care.

If scores were a definitive way of looking at things then Fullmetal Alchemist is an overall better show than Legend of Galactic Heroes since LotGH couldn't beat FMA's sCoRe -> I will laugh at this statement all the way to my grave and die in peace.

What are we even discussing about again? Guessing the score or which anime is better altogether? And why does it matter if you like both the shows? Are your precious feelings invalidated if a show ranks higher/lower than projected?

Better don't expect too much. lol.

I mean..TOG and OPM-S2 are good examples where too much expectations killed the show.

Take everyone's praise with a grain of salt, and judge it through your own eyes.

But we all know those would suck. OPM 2 was inevitable 2 suck the moment JC Staff picked it up, and Tower of God IDK what happened there. I’m expecting big things from Re:Zero because the studio is still the same and also because the 1st season was pretty good.

Nah we re just hyped, you shouldnt take us source readers so seriously. Remember how Tower of god went, reception wasnt as great as people expected. Just keep in mind that people who actually got the novels (more unlikely compared to manga.)were likely already extremely invested into the show.

If it’s better than the first season that’s all I can ask for.

Ok. I’m excited for it but I just want it 2 be better than the 1st Season which I think it will be give the theme that 2nd Seasons are usually better than 1st Seasons (OPM S2 is a bad example tho).

Usually in MAL the second season is scored higher than the first season, because it gather mostly users who already was fans of the series, instead of curious newcomers.

UNLESS it become a complete disaster due a fall of animation quality (one punch man) or the history is really disappoint, really bad, even to the fans, what is also a disaster for any author (SAO).

That is not the case of RZ2S. So i think it will be slightly better than S1, being scored 8.5.

If this was a 24 episode season, without the split, i guess it would be reaching the 9, just as happened with Kaguya Sama S2*.

*NOT because the number of episodes, for the Dogs sake, its meaningless, but because the best part of the arc is in the final part.

I couldn't care less about MAL score, especially nowdays, when cancer completely took over and MAL administration doesn't give a single fuck to do anything about this cancer.

However, I do care about how I rank it personally and I do sincerely hope I can rank it at least as high as season one.

Sadly, modern tendency in Japanese animation industry is such so very often, regardless of season one quality, popularity, score and whatever else metric; season two, planned or not, is complete utter cash grab shitfest (OPM, SAO, S;G, should I continue?).

I do hope this wouldn't be the case, but I can't be sure before I see every single episode.

IMO popularity is not same as being accepted. Re:Zero is popular but it attracts polarizing opinions. One needs to sit and analyse the characters and events properly. And retrospective viewing is important.

Kaguya-sama on the other hand is pretty easy to digest for even the most casual fans.

And then this, yeah. While many people don't analyse it at all, few other people end up over-analysing it.

Yeah but Love is War only appeals to a sub set of anime fans that’s why the high ratings.

Try to force battle shonen anime fans to sit through it (they won’t even sit or watch enough to bother to rate it). It’s same reason why stuff like Gintama is highly overrated. I would even say JoJo falls into that category too. These shows bend into its own genre so much that outsider won’t even bother to look to it to watch it or rate it.

I have never seen an opinion as wrong as yours. As a hardcore shounen fan, I rate Kaguya-sama too highly, I would even go as far as to say that Kaguya-sama is probably the best written manga of the last 5 years.

i dont see how his comment is wrong i personally love kaguya sama
but i know many people who just arent into romcom/slice of life anime and wont bother to watch it much less rate it
like he said its a niche something like attack on titan or demon slayer is a lot more main stream and get more viewers which concludes to more ratings

I agree with this. Even I like Kaguya-sama, but it is pretty far from the mainstream and has less viewership compared to those other shows.
