| It's pretty complex. You've gotta watch the whole arc to appreciate the story. First arc (3ep), second arc (6ep). I like it but watching it as a simulcast is a pain. There are way too many details to keep track. I guess it's like watching Lain but weekly. I watched Lain in 2 batches and I still felt overwhelmed. This is kind of the same but not as good as Lain. So I understand the score. |
| I am fine with the score but I think it deserves like a 7.4-7.7/10 although I gave it a 5 since there are too many details that have not been explained yet. This anime is WAY WAY better than that overrated piece of shit named "Mob Psycho II". |
 |
| It's probably still too high for what it is. |

| First episodes weren't that bad but after that it became really boring, all characters are boring and the story isn't that good... |

Doesnt deserve to be in the Top 30 let alone Top 100. IMO Mob Psycho deserves a rating of 6.9-7.2/10. EDIT: I just saw you changed Mob Psycho II to Rising of the "Shit" Hero. LOL. Well whatever havent watched Shield Hero so dont care. |

Riiiii said: i watched like four episodes then dropped it. the plot is quite confusing but it's not a bad show. just it's not my type of show Its better on binge. I just binged Ep. 1-9 today and its quite decent. The more confusing it gets, the more interesting it gets for me. |
|
| People seem to find this show really repetitive to begin with. Although, it gets interesting in the first episode, then after that, their patience just dropped to the ground and dump it in the trash can. The characters do often look tedious; the development is extremely slow, especially the pace. On the other hand, it doesn't really fit the audience's preferences. So this show may not be for them to keep the edge of their seat. I personally think it's quite a shame to see people dropping it so early. I'm sure this case could've also happen with Monogatari series, since it's not in chronological order and it raises the question of which show they should start with. But foremost, 'Boogiepop and Others' is very complex and peculiar to understand the story. And there's more to it, honestly. If you feel reluctant about it, you must see it for yourself; don't listen to the media, listen to yourself. |
| It's an interesting series, but not everyones cup of tea. MAL standards aside, I think the score is appropriate. |

The show isn't for idiots and mostly idiots picked it up and dropped it or gave it low scores cause they didn't get it. |

If you feel reluctant about it, you must see it for yourself; don't listen to the media, listen to yourself. very true, the show has a distinctive feeling to it, hence why so many people disliked it right away and dropped it. hell, i myself disliked it quite a bit, but then got into it it's one of those titles that make you easy to lose track of what's going on, especially for the impatient ones who dropped it before even seeing the conclusion on episode 4  FMmatron said: It's an interesting series, but not everyones cup of tea. MAL standards aside, I think the score is appropriate. i think the way it is right now, being on the edge of falling back to 6.xx is a bit unfair. maybe 7.20 or something like that is more fitting, then again, it'll bounce up after it ends |
 |
| I'm one big fanboy of Boogiepop for a long while, and I don't mind too much about scores any longer. As long as there are people taking their time to analyze and appreciate the series for what it is (a.k.a. not something 80% of MAL would enjoy watching mostly because of the way it is structured) it's all good in my book. Also, the adaptation thus far, besides rushing a bit of the character presentation in the first arc, is pretty solid overall. I can't complain, I'm a happy fan. The bigger score and popular recognition is just a bonus. |
 |
| It's too complex and slow for most people, I guess |
 |
| im honestly surprised it got this many score. its more of a 5/10 for me and im being lowkey generous here. |
 |
| For those who say its too complex and that is the reason why some dropped it that wasn't the case for me. Actually the story was straightforward in the first 4 episodes nor do I think there is any complicated ideas in it (unless there has been some change since the first arc). The reason I dropped it is that all the characters are really shallow there is no depth to them, the payoff in resolving the mystery and timelines coming together isn't there either plus I wouldn't argue there is anything intellectual or interesting about the story outside of being a standard horror mystery. I have liked slow, non-linear and confusing stories this one is just not well done. i have also heard a lot of LN readers don't like it as well and feel its rushed and I also get that feeling. If people are adamant that it gets better I will give a shot again. I dropped it more because I want to get more due to wanting to focus on other stuff (I trying to be more okay with dropping shows these days so I can focus on better stuff). |

KushEnthusiast said: It's a show that you actually have to watch and read the dialogs, you need to understand what they are saying and that the show is a mystery, so it won't answer all your questions at the beginning.I haven't watched it yet, but I only read good reviews on it. So I want to know, people got confused by the first episode and gave it bad ratings or does it truly deserves a 7/10 ? If you like mystery this is a must watch. It has some deep dialogs too, but they are dense, that is why you need to pay atention.You don't need to be smart, but if you are an idiot you are going to have troubles watching this. But of course, you can't compare this to the masterpiece that Date a live III is, we shouldn't go overboard. Besides, that show is soooo underrated. |

| Since it has a 7/10 |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
SSAEM said: Despite being a new anime, it has the "old school vibe" with the pace, the dialogs and the way the plot is told, that it's not good for the most casual viewer that are used to have everything explained 2 or 3 times per episode.Unfortunately more mature and mentally demanding anime tend to have lower scores... it's ok don't fret too much. Houseki no kuni which sits at 8.47 currently actually had a low rating like Boogiepop during its run. Just wait till the anime ends and the real rating appears |

Not really, the first arc cut the depth of the characters and only left the essential stuff for being unfortunately just 3 episodes long (could have easily been 5-6 episodes with all of the first novels content and characterization). However, in mostly the same pace but with better execution, they did manage to adapt and characterize pretty nicely all of the elements and characters involved in the "vs Imaginator" arc, and in the one they just adapted (this pack of new episodes we just got), the quality got even higher. Overall it was pretty solid, I would say just "decent" for the first arc (it really lacks some monologue). There are not many LN readers like myself around here, but most of the ones I personally know and discuss with weekly are delighted even if the first arc could have been handled better. But disregarding that one, the adaptation overall ain't perfect by any means. However, for the thing they are going for animating this series, it's more than good enough, even with its own spin in some regards. |

I laugh a lot, so shit taste XD - No character development - No proper storyline - Uses a lot of cliches - Predictable writing - I usually dont care about art but MP II's art is garbage - Boring episodes here and there - Fights are good but it has no value if the story is garbage Yep it doesnt deserve a 8.79 of mean score. Would be happier if it got 6.89-7.00 of mean score. Easily a 4/10 at best IMO. |

| Honestly, don't try to argue about what anime is better or not, just enjoy them Personnally, even if I don't pay that much attention to scores (especially when they're high, I always assume if they're rated that high it's for a good reason and byso it could be interesting to watch them), I still think Boogiepop is kinda underrated I totally get why many people don't like this anime, but after watching 6-7 episodes, I realized I really enjoy Boogiepop for its writing, its pacing and its characters (I'm already used to that "desorganized" rhythm thanks to Baccano, and the huge amount of characters thanks to Durarara) People on this website seems to just like to disrespect other people opinions and tastes, while they could simply include them in their own approach of animes, as a nice way to broaden their culture and points of interest |

Mob is still as bland as ever. Reigen is still annoying as ever. I still dont care about the rest of the characters because of their plain-ness (if the word exists). Ye, character development. Ok, enough Mob Psycho... |

| for me i hate the animation of this that i think it deserves better animation quality |
| The Manticore arc was pretty mediocre. The Imaginator Arc was great. I just watched the first part of the at Dawn arc and it looks like it could be better than Imaginator I would have given it a 5 or 6 for the Manticore Arc...but it is up to an 8 after Imaginator...it could end up with a 9 or 10 from me at the end |
I love how this thread became an "elitism/shiting other shows" type of thread. I plan to watch this one after full release and many people, rightfully, don't rate shows before finishing. |
| 7/10 isn't a bad score. |
Nekorosu said: Well, when MAL overall average score is pretty close to 7/10, that's not really good in the general standards (a 7/10 on MAL's rating system may mean "Good", but doesn't represent good in an overview of the collective scoring of the community).7/10 isn't a bad score. Thus, 7/10 on MAL is more like average, and bellow it (as this show is almost descending into), is were the particularly flawed and/or underviewed anime normally amalgamate at (infamously "worst ever" anime in terms of quality still being above 4/10 or even 5/10 at times, safe for a few more "popular" examples). Being Boogiepop as niche as it is in the west since forever, that's not surprising to me, but considering the fact this anime is by no means underviewed in the site and it's just under the 100.000 members mark and it's the 8th most popular anime of its season, I'm equally not surprised why so many people are bothered. I may not care about scores in this site any longer, but it's basic math to say that their claims about it being underrated are truth in that regard if you think about it. |

| Having greatly enjoyed Boogiepop Phantom, I was moderately excited for it, but after a few episodes I don't feel like watching any more. It all feels a little bland and straightforward and purposeless. |
| because the anime doesn’t do the first book justice |
| 1- MAL in general is just a very critical website. MAL users have always given things pretty harsh reviews, regardless of how good they are (there's only like 3 or 4 anime that 1 could say are universally loved by evry1 on MAL). 2- The show hasn't finished airing yet, and a lot of the ppl giving it low ratings are probably ppl who are confused as 2 what is happening. I think no rating of this show will be fair until AFTER it finishes airing. 3- This anime is most certainly not 4 evry1. Like I said, its pretty confusing if ur not paying attention. Most of what u'll see is long dialog followed by short action scenes. Some ppl might not find that entertaining, so they give it a low rating. 4- and finally, I haven't read the VN (though I plan 2), some ppl who are fans of the VNs say they like this anime, but I've noticed that a lot more ppl who are fans of the VNs say that this isn't a good adaptation, so that could be another reason for the current rating. |
| As someone brought up Mob Psycho, well, I am actually enjoying this unlike Mob Psycho which just managed to piss me off almost every episode. And then the special had worst possible Reigen moments and yes, I pretty much have a strong bias against that series and esp. Reigen who's way too overrated of a character. It has some decent parts, an okay message but overall a pain to watch that I stopped bothering. I do like Shigeo and some characters but too many had to make me boil with anger before becoming tolerable or even potentially likable. It just wasn't worth it. Meanwhile, Boogiepop gets more and more compelling with every passing episode, I am all for it when it comes to these two series. |

Nice try though but everything you said is wrong. I mean if you want to criticize Mob, please be accurate what you were writing doesn't describe Mob Psycho 100 at all. It doesnt need to be accurate for you I just stated my reasons why its overrated. I am not wrong. We just have different perspectives. If you can prove me wrong, then do it. Not just say I am wrong and stretch it out for 3 sentences to look intelligent. |
