it does have bad visuals sometimes and for once the MC is not a dumbass and thinks.
overall i would give it a 8 but people tell me besides all your hate because its EXACTLY not like the manga what else is wrong? is it bad that the anime skips over chapters i mean i read it and it was boring to be honest.

If you're wondering why people dislike it you can always check the reviews of that anime.
I'm sure you can find explanations there.

idk, I can understand some of the hate; the animation is pretty bad (the artstyle is fantastic though) and the plot can be all over the place at times. Characters are not too bad and I do like the Hajime x Yue chemistry going on


Most of the hate seems to come from source readers who are clearly displeased with the show, though I can definitely understand that feeling

"Why do ppl hate Arifureta?" #4

I said it hours ago and I'll say it again. For the anime only viewer.... It's confusing af, for the LN reader it's offensive. Not to mention the CGI (honestly, I couldn't care less about the CGI) but it's not that good.

It does have a lot of flaw like bad cgi and the first episode was a mess. Also it's sound like it was a bad adaptation that even original author hating it from what I heard, can't blame people for hating that. But beside that it fun anime, I glad stuck with it, I enjoy characters and action even with bad cgi lol. I do admit people calling it worst anime it going overboard there way worse aniime out there, it better than other 3 isekai this season for sure.

Honestly, the LN readers just want it to be faithful to the source nothing more.
What's confusing about is the whole beginning... Why were they summoned to another world? Who Hajime and the class was? In LN, they gave us lots of build up into who they are and the establish the world they came from. The anime just bum rushed that in favor of wanting Hajime going pew pew.. Without a decent introduction into who he was ofc it's gonna be confusing and hard to sympathize with.

Its VERY overrated and over hyped for what the final product we got, CGI and animation aside the story and especially the characters are disappointing to say the least.

Anime only I know but there's nothing that I can see that would make myself go and read the source material, it just seems like its made for edgelords with how edgy the protagonist is.

The anime is shit, so people hating it its normal. The show is a mess, it skips the very beginning of the LN, character introductions and development, then it goes again and butchers Volume 2 (i dropped it at that point), and lets not talk about the bad fights thanks to that shitty CGI. Plus, the story was mediocre to begin with (and i can say this as someone who has read all the LNs)

Pretty much everyone hated this, the author of the LN included. The real question is how can people like this, you need really bad taste for that.

I don't so much hate it, I more point and laugh from how bad it is.

It fudges the whole 'main character earning their powers' so badly, through one bad incident, our protagonist is now as strong as he'll ever need to be and it only goes up from there. Call me old fashioned but going from weak nobody to gun in a fantasy setting doesn't strike me as good scaling. The whole setup is so slapdash with no explanation at all or even time to meet our protagonist, they just inflict suffering on him so you'll feel bad for him and thus not care when he just goes full uber badass in, what, a couple of days?

The obvious loli bait with the vampire secondary character and the attitude of our protagonist with a lack of self awareness, how the original plot has been basically forgotten and the revenge aspect dropped despite how it was the catalyst for his entire journey to power. They're clearly going for a devil may care roguish hero but his attitude just comes across as shitty and bratty, which I suppose is fair for a kid his age, but it could be written far better.

And I wasn't exactly expecting high class art from this show, but the ridiculously fanservicey bunny and poking a dragon in the fudge tunnel were the ultimate moments of showing how much this anime just doesn't care about anything beyond drawing in the obvious audience.

It's sure not the worst and maybe the manga is better but something tells me the source material is only a trifle better, some problems simply come from the source.

First:
the manga isn't that much better tbh. The pacing in the manga is better than the anime and it didn't exclude that much scenes. But copared to the novel the pacing still kinda sucks

Second:
Jack931 said:

Obviously because if you are fan of a book, you wanna see the adaption. It's natural. Just because you read something doesn't mean you can't watch the adaption anymore

And third:
Like many before me already said, it's just a bad adaption. Most of the viewers most likely won't go and say "wow this was so awesome, I need to read the novel now", which should be the main reason to even adapt a novel. Advertisement.
They leave out so much and throw it at the viewer with little to no explanation.
Even if I disregard the bad animation, as a reader of the LN, the anime is just an insult to this show

You do realized this is a light novel series right? Read that. But yeah this anime is getting too much hate cuz they cut off some scenes that are original to the Light Novel so that’s it’s biggest flaw. However because I heard that this studio halfassed gave this anime 13 episodes instead of the 25 I can see why most of the fans that enjoyed the series hating the anime version. I can see this having some mixed to positive reviews compared to Isekai Cheat Magician and Do You Love Your Mom animes tho.

OP MC where he saves girls and comes just in the nick of time, isekai, harem with your usual types of girls (tsundere, lewd, sweet/innocent, loli, etc), action, and romance. people cant just enjoy an anime without comparing it. its honestly only americans/western side who dont like these types of anime, but japan does, otherwise they wouldnt be making anime like these so often.

(Anime only viewer here)
1)No explanation given about this world at first : like to watch something new, I have to inform myself before by reading synopsis or even source material ? No thanks.

2) Horrible CGI that gave me nightmares

3) Songs used during the fights made me facepalmed

4) The summary after the 5th episodes was almost an insult. I perceived it as a "here I'm sure you guys are dumb enough to have forgotten what happenned in the last 5 weeks" or "here if you guys had already dropped it, please know what you've missed and come back to us".

Otherwise, it ain't a catastrophe, I managed to appreciate the main character (not a sort of all mighty beyond positively good guy, more like a "I ain't giving shit anymore, fuck this shit I'm out livin' my own life") and his girly party. But it doesn't deserve to be loved either.

I'm a huge fan of Arifureta, I was reading the web novel while it was still being translated, and I am an even bigger fan of Arifureta After, the web novels epilogue.
Though it's rarer, I do still pick up the Light Novels when I have the spare money and there's a new release, because I enjoyed the web novel and want to support the author.

That said.
The anime is a travesty.

For starters, it completely missed the mark with the first episode. It skipped all the exposition on the characters and world, and rushed straight to what was the end of the first novel for an opening moment. This makes sense a bit because it was the most impactful moment of that novel, but missed the mark on why it had impact. That worked in the novel because Arifureta seemed like a generic isekai, then it took a huge dark twist in literally disabling its main character.

The next problem is that they changed some minor, but key details about what the characters know and do. This is a minor gripe but it really annoyed me.

The next problem is the breakneck pace. They've adapted more than 40 chapters of the manga in the anime so far! They've literally overtaken the manga at this point. This is even worse than Knight's & Magics pacing issues!

Let's not even get started on the CGI and character design. The cinematography is awful, bad framing, jump cuts, and static imagery. There's almost no flow to movements, and the vehicles are awful. The music doesn't help either, it sounds like it's ripped from a games OST and doesn't match what's going on at all.

Lastly, the huge up-play on ecchi. The way they're framing each character is terrible, Shia...oh wait sorry....Shea is being especially shafted by this. They're not treating her like a character but like a train for fanservice.

I could go on more, but I think this is enough for now.

Watched around 7 episodes (beyond the halfway point) and it was utter trash, completely failing as an adaptation and even animationwise it was bad. For some weird reason you liked this shit and want to defend it, it doesnt change the fact it was shit. Anyway, i know a lot of people that kept watching it until the end and their opinion doesnt get any different from mine.

Maybe the whole thing about this series is the title for episode 13 "the best at being the worst"... sounds like a punch line for me.
It's paradoxical how easy is to hate this anime, but at the same time how easy is to enjoy it exactly for how bad it is.
In other words, the actual target for this production seems to be "the hater" within us.
However, to know if that was on purpose or not, it's another question.

the source material is awesome. too bad the anime did a horrible job of animating it. and yet despite all that, the ln/manga deserves all the animation it could get, no matter how bad the animation is. I'm still looking forward to season 2 and please for the love of god, FIND A BETTER STUDIO!

there are youtube vids out there that tries to fill the gap of the missing scenes from the source material and yeah they do a better job than the anime studio itself. like Hajime's stats being so high despite being level 8 only and what gave him those high stats is eating monster flesh. normally humans cannot eat monster flesh since it destroys your own flesh and you'll die way before the process of replacing your entire innards is completed. the only reason Hajime survived this transformation process is because of that "fountain" he just happened to land into and he went extreme pains for this.

So after a very quick look at some comments the two main reasons why people hate this show are:

1- Show is too edgy, and since I'm too afraid of being labeled an edgy person for liking it... I will hate it.

2- I read the story on a piece of paper with lots of drawings. Even though a lot of other stories that come in pieces of paper with drawings, get animated in a way that readers of pieces of paper with drawings don't like, I still expected it to be animated in a way that I would like. There for, I have to hate it, so I can be part of that 1337 club of piece of paper with drawings readers.

Well I wanted to ask the same but since most of MAL users hate isekai you can't be surprised by that low rating. For me it's really amazing anime full of action and comedy with interesting story and finally not chicken MC (except 1st episode).But well another anime that confirming my words or opinion on most animes on MAL "Less numbers in rating=much better anime in quality"(of course there are exceptions).
Btw. fight with hydra was best point of the 1st season.
Btw2. why it doesn't have "comedy" genre ? it's long time since I saw that funny anime :D
