This season has been pretty 'basic' so far, isn't it?

We just had 3 amazing episodes back to back and the start of the rumbling. Maybe this part is just not your taste cause it is great so far

Yes, indeed, the whole last arc is predictable and it will go the way you are expecting from this point on.

I definitely feel different this season to the point where i don’t even care if I watch the episode the day it comes out. This may be because I read the manga, but I also read the demon slayer manga and I watched season 2 at 11AM sharp every Sunday. Still one of my favorite shows tho

I have been holding myself back for quite some time. Now that we are in the middle of the finale, I can't help but say that I feel quite disappointed. Last year, the show was so good that I got upset by each episode's cliffhanger. Now it's like whatever. Does anyone else feel the same way? Is this show going to make a comeback with the remaining episodes (I highly doubt it as this is the direction the show wants to go)? No spoilers, please.

there's no way to tell it without spoiling the story.

so you said its boring just because the cliffhanger ed cut isn't made you upset?

you should be grateful. anime only is so lucky for didn't get eren head flying as end eps cliffhanger instead just middlecard break

I was feeling the same thing but didn't see people talk about it. I personally agree with what you said and yeah I feel the same way, this season is just.... idk what to say, you would be expecting something great from the finale of aot but this doesn't hold up, previous seasons were done better but I just hope the last couple eps of this season are as good as old aot.

This season did have some good episodes but overall its just like what you said.

I couldn't disagree more. Altough today's episode was just good, every other was a literal banger especially ep 3, 4 and 5

you're not the only one who feel that way,

not gonna spoil specific story details but MAPPA has to nail future eps with very good animation or if possible sakugas back-to-back for action sequences in ch. 128, 129 (eps 10, 11) to make up for this season imo because at least you can enjoy the visuals when MAPPA's execution of the story so far doesn't please you.

i'm expecting the worst to at least mitigate my disappointment though.

Pretty basic to have 9.5 rating even with review bombing. Lol. Different people will have different experiences. End of the story.

Well, if you were talking about the last 2 episodes i would have somewhat agreed because it's when the story starts to get a bit "worse", but ep 3,4 and 5 are some of the best Aot episodes in terms of content, it doesn't get much better than this.

I actually had a few issues with the adaptation but that doesn't change the fact that they were amazing.

First of all it's not 9.5. It's 9.15. Second of all please stop bringing up the mal score argument because its just stupid. The mal scoring system doesn't show if an anime is good or not *cough* demon slayer *cough*. It just shows that a certain anime has attracted an audience that is so obsessed with it that they would do everything in their power to see it be on top. Fanboys in short.

This episode wasn’t amazing, but the last few episodes, starting from the one with Eren’s fidget spinner head, have been some of the best episodes ever in the series

This is why you should watch anime marathon-style, and not week-by-week style.

With marathon style, you can get a clear picture of everything

I just lost braincells reading this. Yeah no shit fanboys can mess with the ratings, but most people arent so they still indicate a series is clearly enjoyable and good, it doesnt have to state anything is a masterpiece. Series like AOT and Demon Slayer get constant praise and reception outside of MAL, clearly they have qualities that garner such ratings to begin with

You aren't alone. The Rubmling arc which is also the final one is considered to be the worst arc of the series to which i agree.

It’s only going to get worse tbh. It’ll be a predictable shounen going forward. I said the same thing months before the manga ended and aot cult attacked me saying “trust isayama for plot twist” but it didn’t happen xD Ep 5 felt bland and manga version was better.

I guess If you're going to start insulting then I'll have too. You are obviously really stupid if you think the mal scoring system is objective. Let's start with demon slayer s2. Because it's a sequel it will have a higher rating since mostly the people that liked the show are going to watch it and so they are going to put a high score on it no matter if they liked it or not. And I don't really know where you usually go on the internet but the only praise demon slayer gets it's for it's animation and soundtrack. Also I never talked about aot not deserving it's score lol. I just corrected a possible typo that the guy made. So in conclusion you clearly didn't have these brain cells to begin with so I don't understand what you lost.

You need glasses cause it's clear you can't read(or comprehend for that matter). I literally states "no shit fanboys message with the ratings", why are you still rambling about objectivity? The point I've made however is ratings still clearly have a sense of meaning to them as things will tend to average out. You are obviously just hating Demon Slayer is you think it's only animation that garnered its success, you can find plenty of critics and viewers that find uts themes and characters as enjoyable too. If animation was all it took to get high ratings, God of Highschool, Fire Force, and the Fate series would receive high reception as well. Not to mention your argument falls apart about it only being watched by those who liked it, the reviews are majority saying the series is average but passable, unless you think these are all biased too? I'll say it again, it is common sense that ratings aren't objective, but you are lying to yourself if you think they don't have actual merit of how good a series may be,otherwise they wouldn't be implemented to begin with

You really need to learn how to speak English first before you try and start an argument cause just like you said with my first post I literally lost brain cells trying to read that. And don't try using the excuse that it's not your first language because it's not mine either. That aside I absolutely agree that ratings aren't objective. That's what I've been trying to say for so long but I guess you're that stupid that you couldn't understand it. And also who tf told you that the fate series doesn't have high reception. Furthermore, you basically contradict yourself since you say that ratings do have a sense of meaning but when you talk about demon slayer you say that the reviews are saying it's mid. So you basically proved my point that you are stupid. Thanks :). And I don't really want to make this a demon slayer argument so if you want to respond just don't make it demon slayer focused.

Lmao at this point all you have are retorts about intelligence and usage(on the Internet!). You still haven't addressed my claim that just because the ratings are objective doesn't mean they are useless. They still hold merit and can be an indicator for what to expect from a series. I didn't prove anything to your point, if you took time to read the reviews most give Demon Slayer an 7 or 8, which is typically good. I hope you dont actually take most of the top reviews at face value, you relaize those are often skewered by fanboys/haters too? And Fate isn't always highly received, Ufotable's works are but most of the adaptations outside the Fate/Stay routes get criticized. You said nothing about the objectivity of ratings, you just completely wrote them off, even if I agree dude was tripping trying to use a rating as some penultimate way to determine if a series is amazing or not

Imagine having a fight on a MAL thread

I really love this part as a whole. The first 4 episodes were probably the greatest anime episodes I’ve ever watched. That being said i have been underwhelmed by the past two episodes. The pacing is of, the development has been minimal, they just don’t pack the same punch. To start off at break neck pacing every episode dropping insane split twist bombs every episode, to this slow decline kind of has me disappointed. Hopefully something else happens but these past two episodes have felt like nothing but filler.

That is why it is a great show as it knows when to slow things down. You need slow episodes as a breather especially after 5 heavy episodes.
