ImAnApple said:once again MAL proved me i should not always read reviews or look at the score (well not that i read the full reviews, since they are, imho, way too long, so long, it feels like its longer than the anime i just watched) . i cant believe how so many extremely bad reviews made it to the tops.. the first 5 top reviews on that anime page give that anime overall rating: 1. lol.
first of all i didnt read the manga or novels, but i really liked this anime. the humor was nice, the characters were nice. but they could have completely taken out the fact that they traveld worlds, since it was so not really fitting in there. but to be fair, "overlord" or even "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" are the same in this case, if you look at them. they only show like.. idk.. a few minutes how they were transfered into the world? after that, the anime is all about the ingame and fantasy world - thats actually similar to this anime, with the fact that they barely waste time in showing how they were transfered - since all "transfering into a game world" happen through a really strange event, like magic, death or modern technology as in SAO. lol. so i think it is fine what they did in this anime.
fun thing is, everyone suddenly becomes top class movie experts when it comes to animes and movies xD the way people write their reviews sometimes, i think: wtf is wrong with them. as if they were pros in making animes. the same with soccer world cup, lol. everyone thinks they have to comment and know it better but never played a match/made an anime themselves.
i wonder if these people watch the anime, or just 'watch' it to write down tons of critical notes. if the latter, of course one wouldnt enjoy anything.
but then, i can understand some critics. the animation was kept at a minimum. most of the time it was made very simple, as if they wanted to save budget. but honestly, i think it didnt turn out bad.
especially there are people who hate "transformed into a game" animes, but they still watch them and then give bad reviews. thats what i dont get, lol. i mean.. for example I myself dislike most sport or music animes (there are exceptions though), so i just dont watch them since i wouldnt enjoy them. not because they are bad, but because i wouldnt like the topic. so why should i waste time and watch it, just to write a negative review about it, when i wont like the topic in the first place, which has nothing to do with the anime itself.
well i wrote more than intended. what i actually wanted to say is: i can understand if someone has critics towards this anime, but i cant understand how it has nearly a score of 7 (which is pretty good i think), while it has so many bad and negative reviews at the tops. lol. (dont get me wrong, the score can stay like this, i dont want it do drop down any further. but how the hell are so many negative reviews pushed up? they are totally not helpful and not objective enough. most of the reviews at the top rows have so many hate-sentences and totally manipulate your own opnion if you didnt watch the anime first)
basicaly, if you ask me, the LN readers need a review for themselves, and the ones never read the LN or Manga need reviews for themselves. well of course animes can jump over a few chapters,and that could make them bad. but one really should see the difference between people who read the LN/Manga, and who didnt.
