I'm tired of seeing those two shit reviews at the top, they didn't address anything for its face value and they most definitely didn't look at the complexity of the characters or their story from beginning to end, how they truly feel and what made them who they are now, it's also a pain to see them straight up talk shit about the anime without caring about the world views and nature of the show about their ways of life and morals in general, it's not very helpful either that they're calling this made by AI or written by a 5yo *facepalm*, these ppl don't deserve the right to review anime, period.

people will always love to sh*t on popular things. You can see the same happening with the second season of JJK.
And tbh if I were you, I wouldn't care. In the end these are strangers from the internet. If they don't like it, that's okay. As long as you have fun and enjoy it. :)

thats why I don't pay attention to these reviews. Because different people have different preferences and some people intentionally talk shit so I don't want to spoil my expectations by listening to other people's feelings.

they're bait, and MAL's review reaction system puts them at the top. they seriously need an actual negative reaction to bury reviews like this, since they're currently being boosted by "confusing" and "funny" reactions.

It's annoying they keep fixating on "Rudy is sad and it's getting old" and "nothing is happening"—only three episodes in. These three episodes are covering one volume of the LN. Do they expect him to be over it in one chapter? I'd argue that would make the plot point ACTUALLY seem forced.

If your attention span is soo small that you can't be satisfied without fights going on every other scene, go watch a shounen. This is not much of an action story as many may think. Most LN's aren't. You're watching the wrong anime.

Reguardless of what they think, Mushoku Tensei IS amazing storytelling and character building. Nothing is superficial. Everything serves a purpose. Some things might be silly, but they're still presented in a realistic, and human way.

If you want to push your morals onto everything you consume, just don't watch anything ever again. You'll find something questionable in all forms of entertainment. ESPECIALLY anime. But I guarantee they turn a blind eye to most of it.

Either way, I hope they know this volume is just a transitional one to get us to the main story, so they're over here getting mad and critiquing when the actual story hasn't even started yet. Lol

bro u expecting too much from modern anime fans lol

A. dudes a steins gate fan and is complaining about half of the shit(in this thread) that steins gate literally does lmao

B. the bigger picture
you have anime "ciritics'
saying shit like
bungou stray dogs not adaptin manga panels of people faces ruined the entire season and is shit now
or how yaiba also gets the same "criticism"

C. you also have people calling shit like fmab and spy x fam pedo bait for seemingly no reason


also the important thing
mals new review system basically makes it so even if u downvote a review, itll get pushed to the top
so pls dont downvote the review u dont likes lol
goes for anyone really
just ignore and upvote the better ones
cause again
even downvoting it with the shitty emotes
will push it to the top
just ignore and move on
It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime.
Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others

I read the thing you pointing at and I didn't understand what was his problem with anything. so many things happened ,we know more about rudeus and what happened to him after eris left him and how he fills about it. and the guy says nothing happened.
the pacing of MT was slow form first episode of first season. but I don't see that like a bad thing. it's like a light breeze that lead the viewer to Strong storm of story. and it's really interesting

That's true to some extent, the problem is they are actively hurting the show. people who don't know anything about Mushoku Tensei will look at this and think "that show must suck ass", and proceed to not watch it or even worse, shit on it because they saw someone else shit on it.
It would of course be okay if the show was anywhere near as bad as they say, but that is simply not the case, as OP said.
Something like this is a problem with MAL anyway. People write reviews that are completely misleading and those people don't even get a ban on writing reviews or something.

Some people really think that shitting on something popular will make them cool, be because social media made clout addictive. We recently had this drama with some TikToker trying to smear MAPPA for using AI. Almost every popular and critically acclaimed anime had "negative "top" review, which is horrendously bad. Now add the broken review system, where haters are flocking to one review in order to validate their shit take and you have this mess. But those two reviews are not as had as the "top" review from the first season.

I ignore people who review something they haven't finished. Mushoku Tensei, Re:Zero, Kimetsu, Jujutsu Kaisen will always have hate watchers and they never really add anything other than making themself look pathetic.

Now, there are negative reviews that are constructive, but they are few and far between.

When people read reviews they want to read 10 reviews or 1s generally. Kind of a marketing ploy since the honest average reviews do not carry much shock value to a 7.

tbf the first three episodes were subpar IMO and it can only get better from here.... hopefully. I just read the top two reviewers and their complaints are totally valid? I think you're overreacting because some randos don't feel the same way as you about an anime. I don't find any of the things that happened in episode 3 as remotely interesting and I can see how that kind of writing could be unwatchable for others.

Do people actually read reviews? Everytime I see the top two reviews in any show they're all just hate reviews and the difference in "reactions" between those and the positive ones are huge.

Personally I never read or wrote any reviews, I see trailer, I read sypnosis and I watch. If I don't like it I drop and leave my rating, if I enjoy it I watch it and leave my rating.

I use the rating/score system only to go in with high low or no expectations.

Though, if I really want a review for a particular anime, I'll probably go on YouTube rather than MAL.



I'm level on MAL-Badges. View my badges.

There seems to be more and more bait and quickly made up reviews for a lot of the more popular and shounen shows these days, I even see some of them boasting about them on specific poster profiles, solely made for the purpose of getting a cheap rise out of someone. Best to ignore and move on. I am in agreement though, these confusing votes which add to the overall tally is seriously stupid.

Arguing with those type of MT haters is a waste of time in general. Just don't give them attention, that would be for the best. Their reviews will be bombed by other good reviews in future anyway, like the first seasons of the series.

so hilarious how bad and exploitative the new system-rating has become, to the point where I ignore reviews from new shows. Once mfs get the opportunity to create a front-page review, they'll often rush to write the most nonsensical bs, and they'll keep it short as possible since Tiktok fans have the attention span of a toodler. Tbh this also goes for immediate 10/10 reviews just cuz they meat their favorite source material
