Why all of the hate?

Tristovski said:
At first I had my doubts, but now I've gotten used to Tits McGee I'm actually quite liking this show. Dunno why so many people dislike it.

TheOneOfSeven said:
Because "unrealistic" boobs, yeez, it's anime ;w;

i actually so excited to watch this but the score scared me, so maybe i will just marathon this :D

The main character is annoying af, the girl with the big boobs is annoying af, and the story hasn't come together yet even at episode 4. Sure we had those 2 important events mentioned, followed by this huge third, but besides riding on it's coattails, this anime is grasping at straws to be called good. There's the people who are willing to wait until episode 7 or 8 for the anime to come together, and those who think some type of story should be showing by now. I don't blame them for leaving. If I didn't survive until around the middle of Steins Gate for it to finally get interesting I probably would have dropped this by now.

The first episode was awful, really really bad. I've never been more turned off by fast pacing in my life.

If I have to rewind to catch things I missed, your show fails at keeping a decent pace.

Or you are a dumbass who misses things.
So yeah, bullshit argument.

Red_Ryu12345 said:


Talking at 5 millions words a minute is not acceptable.

Might as well be gibberish at that point.

pkKodama said:


Buuut "Talking at 5 millions words a minute" is impossible.
It never happened and will never happen in an anime.
I don't think you're a "dumbass". But you're just not used to anime with fast dialogue. I just get bored watching KEY animes because I think they speak too slowly.

Red_Ryu12345 said:

It was an exajuration, but yeah point is the dialouge went super fast along with tons of plot points just dropped on us right away along with that.

I've seen bakemonagatari, I didn't have that problem with that show like this one.

CrashD said:
Why is everyone hating on this show? The rating is super low for a show with only like one episode. What could possibly be so bad that you'd immediately dislike it when the story hasn't even fully started?

MasterHavik said:
Another botched adaption? I have to ask do these teams assigned these IPs bother to properly read the book and not smash shit together?

I have to ask man.

Harmony said:
I though they were going an original route since only 2 volumes were released and 1 volume was already on 1 episode. You can't really call it a botched adaption when there is literally almost no source material to base it upon.

TheBigGuy said:


Yuta is a bit annoying, but I actually like Ryouka's bubbly and energetic personality. Also if annoying character(s) would be a valid criterion, Konosuba would be one of the lowest-rated anime ever.

Occultic;Nine is from the same creator as Steins;Gate, so everyone should have known beforehand, that the story takes its time.
It's unfair and irrational to blame an anime for something, that was known to be part of it from the beginning.

I don't mind a story taking its time, if the characters and occurences keep me interested, like in Robotics;Notes and Shinsekai Yori. And O;N also does this in my opinion.

If someone wants to drop it, that's totally fine. But they shouldn't blame/rate low the anime for what it is and is supposed to be.

Kougai said:


Personally I liked Shinsekai Yori as well. Every episode we either learned something meaningful about their characters, the world they lived in/its past, or they were just building the plot overall. None of that is happening in this show.

TheBigGuy said:


Wrong.

We learned something about Aria's past and who the mysterious figure is, that she can see/sense the presence of. Also that Miyuu is missing a friend and fears, that she is involved in the mass suicide.

The reporter, who investigates the mass suicide knows Miyuu and also Yuuta and wants to meet him. Yuuta is involved in the murder case and is therefore related to the investigation and the son of the victim.

And Aria apparently had the scalp of the victim in her mailbox, this way she is also related to the murder case.

If that isn't building the plot, I don't know what is.

daze3x said:
here is a simple answer. People are dumb af. They blame the show for their inability to understand the story. Any show with a unique direction is automatically shit if it doesnt suit their taste. Oh well, this is the normal garbage you expect from mal

Kougai said:


4 episodes in and that's all we have. 9 notable characters, 1/3 already through the show, and the only person we know some interesting background about is Aria( her brother, and the astral projection guy who chills with her). Everything excluding Aria's background could have been done within 1 or 2 episodes.

MasterHavik said:
Then that should tell them, "DO NOT FUCKING ADAPT YOU IDIOTS!" I swear it seems these companies adapt to make a buck and not adapt something they can play with. I know the creators of these LNs, Mangas, and etc. aren't asking for animes.

I mean this should be common sense but it is lost on them and also....I have watched too much anime to a point that when these companies do their own thing...it is always not very good and seems they just pull stuff out of their asses.

flannan said:

You would only truly catch the things you missed when you'll rewatch the first episode after you've seen about 1/2 to 2/3 of the show. Maybe only on rewatch after completing it once.
Compare to Rokka no Yuusha



I assume they are working with the original author who did tell them what the anime was supposed to be about.

Also, a lot of people like Galaxy Angel anime, which had only character descriptions from the original game to work with.

TheBigGuy said:

You're both right. I think most viewers just lack patience. If we knew completely, what's going on at this point, it would fail as a mystery in my opinion.

Flawfinder said:


You do realize that if a mystery depends entirely on not knowing what's going on, that would make it completely un-rewatchable, right?

Flawfinder said:

Because what's the point in watching a mystery and all the long-ass buildup again if you know the mystery? And if an anime isn't rewatchable, then how the hell am I supposed to label it as good?

Also, no good mystery thing I've ever seen had dialogue this shit:

QWERTYFish25 said:
Another similar problem is the racey speech between the characters while occasionally cutting to Ryo-ta-tas and her giant utters bouncing up and down while going "Gamotan is really spirited today!" or something. You lose momentum when you drag out parts and ever worse when you include distracting features such as ryo's tits. But maybe that's a moot point since she herself prolly earns a chunk of the viewership.

opiktea said:
Simple: Because it's pretentious and idiotic.

Gexis said:
>A1 Meme, that's why it gets hate.

TheBigGuy said:


Well, if someone is that easily distracted, he has only himself to blame. Whereby we are at the topic lack of attention again. Plus they didn't talk that fast during the last episodes, the tempo was normal.

Also, normally people are perfectly able to concentrate on several things at the same time or can filter something out, like when several people in a room talk simultaneously. When someone isn't capable of that, this anime is just not for him.

Yoeru said:

Pretty much, I feel people just nitpick and come with the most irrational arguments to hate on it, there's no other reason for people to on a crusade on this show other than A1 + the director.

pkKodama said:


Indeed, bakemonogatari is not so fast. But Teekyuu is much faster.
But anyways, they slowed down the pace of the dialogues in Occultic;Nine after the third episode, so if I were you I would definitely give it another chance even if you didn't like the first episode.

CrashD said:


Idiotic? maybe. How is it pretentious?

QWERTYFish25 said:



This is not a memory game. Sure there are always things going on in the background you want as many things going on as possible ads to allow the story and details to flow. A major plot point being discussed while the sidekick winces in the corner to imply uncertainty or foreshadow betrayal, sure. Ryo's tits as much as I like them are a problem in that situation. You wanna do fan-service fine. But when you lack the confidence to push your plot along to the view so as you need to keep flopping tits in between the conversation says a bit about the author's intention. I've watched shows where fanservice is rampant. To the point I need to rewatch because I missed it or I simply didn't care. They rush the plot or the MC's lines but they dedicate bouncing breasts smack dab into the MC's joke or revelation. There's a difference between cutting to some awkward shit the sidekick is doing while in the midst of a serious moment and just trying to distract the viewer from either the main attraction or hide the show's flaws.
