| i Know it's not masterpiece But below 7 is really seem like people downvote it just because they hate Netflix or something? not gonna lie it's pretty decent it should be more than 7 |
| the monsters especially Godzilla is 3DCG a lot of anime fans hates 3DCG or are 2D animation purists the science stuff got too much exposition and the jargons they are using are hard to understand until the end and there is barely enough screen time for Godzilla action especially in the end |
| It's a decent show, but not enough Godzilla. |
| "Dumb people are worse than bad people." |
| The show itself was fine. It wasn’t bad at all and is something I’d probably recommend to someone who appreciates Godzilla as well as anime and has a Netflix account. With that said, most people who will flock to this might enjoy Godzilla or have a level of appreciation for the franchise. Plus, most diehard fans for anime who will rate a show a 10/10 may not do the same for this show because it doesn’t quite have all the elements of what makes something a universal appeal and that same fan of AoT, FMA, OP etc. may not find the same enjoyment here. Anime fans and Godzilla fans are not 1:1. I didn’t think this show depicted itself too well. I didn’t quite have that same feeling I’d normally receive from other adaptations either. This is certainly not even close to what I’d consider near the upper echelon of Godzilla material either. Again, it was a fine adaptation and there were moments I really liked, but I’m giving it a realistic score. Which a 6 isn’t even bad, but again, it’ll look bad amongst the rest of MAL sense there are a lot of people you give really high ratings to most of the popular shows that are well liked anyway, but I’m just generalizing there. |

| Probably cause of all that scientific explanations going on in every episode. The CGI and soundtrack was good tho. I really liked the song. |

| Well, the plot is pretty convoluted, often jarring to follow. I'm not even sure if it all made any real sense. I loved that they introduced such a crazy plot and concepts into something that should have been just mindless fun (and still is) and didn't just create artificial complexity through a confusing narrative, but I understand why people didn't like it. |
 |
| I very much think it was all the technobabble, it takes up much of the episodes and factors in so heavily into the plot, with it all leading to kind of an unsatisfying finale, which ends up killing peoples interest. Plus if you are a huge Godzilla fan like I am, Godzilla isn't in the show a whole lot really. It does look good, soundtrack is good, but I personally wouldn't rate it more than like a 6 or 7 at best. |
| It was a slow burn. I ended up having a lot of fun by the end but the first five or episodes are a lot of information to process with big brain science talk. Once Godzilla showed up I felt like things really got rolling and it had some great moments. A solid 7/10 for me and I'm looking forward to season two. I might rewatch it dubbed, as I heard the dub is pretty solid, to maybe get a better grasp of all the science babble going on since they talk a mil a minute during those text scenes. Though one thing I've learned here is not to take MAL scores too seriously. |
| Well honestly. Last week I watched the Godzilla trilogy and today I finally finished SP. To me I liked it a lot. Both the animation (I like the CGI) and the kaiju design, as well as the drawing style, the plot and the approach to the world of Godzilla and even the complicated explanations ... I like all that. Maybe I liked it because I'm not the one typical veteran Godzilla fan. In fact, I am grateful that there is not so much action (the scenes of the robot fighting get to me a bit tired) and that instead there are many explanations. The only complaint I have is that sometimes there are really too many explanations, these are very complex and confusing. I have not understood well why everything that has happened hahahaha. So now I come to the forum to resolve the doubts that I have left! Without a doubt, I would need to see some chapters again to understand everything. I also think that sometimes the solutions come too quickly and conveniently, in a forced (and confusing) way and for this reason I liked the second part of the anime less. The first chapters, when the Kaiju start to appear and the problems and conflicts begin to develop, I love it. I could give it an 8, but I found it very original and I think this is the way to go for Netflix, so I give it a 9 to continue to support the creation of quality original works. itsTomokocchi said: Though one thing I've learned here is not to take MAL scores too seriously. Totally this. Thanks to Godzilla trilogy and SP, I have realized that I am missing tons of anime with 6-7 or even less rating. This is not the first time that happen to me, so I will start checking some low score animes, definitely. |

| It's not complicated, a lot of people just thought it was boring. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| 1: Not enough Godzilla. 2: Characters are either extremely bland, unlikable animu stock characters, or so annoying you want to punch your screen. 3: Plot moves at a snails pace. 4: Hamfisted exposition where everybody is constantly explaining everything they're doing and why, while the actual mysterious parts of the plot never even gets a trail of breadcrumbs. 5: Not enough action, too much time wasted on boring nonsense such as watching two characters chat with each other on multiple occasions. This show is mediocre at best and I keep finding myself zoning out. I've watched seven episodes and it has been an absolute slog so far. EDIT: So I just watched the eight episode and it actually picked up a little, for the first time I'm actually interested in the next episode. Sure, it's still not particularly good, but at least it dialed back on the suck. |

It's not "babble" though. I'm not sure why people feel the need to say this about anything they don't understand or don't care to want to try to understand as if to dismiss it? Not understanding something or not being interested in it enough to attempt to pay attention and maybe even learn something doesn't mean it's nonsense or gibberish. There are legitimately cases of series which do employ pseudo-scientific concepts/understandings attempting to pass them off and pseudo-intellectual dialogue and themes in general and can and should be specifically criticized on that basis alone, but this isn't one of them. |

I only know it is not "babble" because of some random commenter on the forums here, as it's not clear that it has some grounding in real physics, especially when much of the show involves time travel, orthogonal diagonalizer's, giant monsters, singing bones, singularity super computers, a giant robot, and AI that can pretty much do whatever it wants. It's going to be much the same for most people watching too. Even knowing this post-show, it doesn't improve anything, I still think the science talk drags more than it adds to the show. This also doesn't mean I need a dumbed down show that is nothing but action, Shin Godzilla is pretty good and that movie gets pretty dry, but it never dragged for me in the same way. |

| idk, i'm just loving this show even tho ep 9 got kinda dense (is where i'm at rn) but i kinda get the idea whats going on based on their explanations, I just love the fact that this shit is like watching "Evolution" but if it was done properly and not the comedy riddle shitfest we got from that movie |
| The cover image makes it look like a B-movie type action series, when in reality it's a theory-heavy mystery/thriller based on actual scientific concepts. They wanted dumb/schlocky fun and instead got a TED talk. The disappointment is understandable. |
Dracus said: - the truly interesting concepts like the time supercomputer were literally drowned in a ton of pseudo-science. Which parts of it, specifically, were pseudoscience rather than actual scientific theory? Other than the fact the theory was able to be implemented, obviously. |
| I liked it enough to give it a 7/10. |
 |
| No characters other than jet jaguar really had any character development. 90% of the dialogue was just explaining the science of the show and it didn't really matter who was talking about it, it just felt like they randomly split it up between characters to make it feel like they were talking. It also made it seem like every character was some sort of science genius, which doesn't come across as very realistic |

I think this would have a much higher score if it was advertised as being a hard core si-fi. i think the low score is just the result of the wrong people watching this. |

HeroVladimir93 said: I'm pretty sure people will defend this story with something along the lines of "it's setup for season 2" I don't believe I've ever seen anyone claim that. Which is good, because it's a laughable defense: This series tells a completely self-contained story. the technobabble Why do people keep saying this? There is no technobabble whatsoever in this series. All the terms and concepts explored are real, hard (albeit mostly theoretical) science. |
