At what point of production does a studio decide "let's make all the enemys CGI, dark color and moving by 10fps..."
The anime started well, the western music was enjoyable but holy fuck that CGI was cringe.
I did binge watch this but it's was bad that's all i can say about it.

Its a fun show IMO. Characters are decent and the soundtrack is (surprisingly) good, and for one we got a Protagonist with an actual personality and goal, which is quite a rare trait especially during the self insert Isekai craze where most protagonist are just OP walking cardboard. I noticed that people are complaining about him being too "edgy", but i say its way better than your boring, overused, self insert, whiteknight with 0 personality and aspirations type of overpowered Isekai protagonist(s).

Though if i would say a bad thing about the show is that they dropped the "RPG" aspect fairly quickly, no more crafty fighting styles from absorbing monster powers because the MC just blast away with his guns, and that is also kinda my second complaint, not a fan of the lore breaking; Dual wielding gun is still fine, but the moment the MC starts spawning cars, minigun, and rocket launchers, the show kinda loses its fantasy aspect

First half is quite good, second half is so-so, i'll give this show at least 6. Though the second half aint that bad, the odyssey vibe is quite interesting. Its one of the shows where you just turn off your brain and enjoy it. I'll deffo watch the 2nd season

It looks like most of the early hate came from LN/Manga readers who were disappointed by the anime adaptation. As someone who watched the whole series with no knowledge of the source material I thought it was OK, but had a lot of issues.

The biggest issue, besides the fact that it's largely not original, was probably that it underwent a massive tone shift around episode 6 when it took a sharp turn from dark fantasy to comedy. It's like the show went from Goblin Slayer to Konosuba. I can appreciate both styles, but I imagine a good amount of people who liked and stuck around for the first 5 episodes didn't like the final half of the season.

They also made it hard to get into the first few episodes. First by dropping the viewer in mid-story and kind of leaving the viewer to fill in the blanks with isekai tropes. They also hurt the pacing by having large segments away from the MC and back with his classmates which served little purpose other than slight fleshing out the characters while the viewer wants to get back to the action with the MC.

It actually started out as a pretty fun cheesy isekai anime, but the show fell apart when it tried to become a parody of itself with the over the top ecchi characters and scenes.

Honestly it was cringey. I could feel how insecure the original author was just by watching this anime. He couldn't let himself just write a bad isekai, had to pretend he was self-aware.

idk why ppl are so fucking critical and judemental. its probably b/c they see anime like this a lot and get annoyed of it or for some whatever other stupid shit reason. i, on the other hand, LOVE anime like these. 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.

I think the same like you, from what I read on this anime post I didn't find real reason why it should be bad, just always the same comments like copied by ctrl+c and ctrl+v.


i add: cause it goes against their culture and world view they find reasons to bitch about it, and they are trying to force their view and culture on it, i say Jap animes are fine the way they are they don't hurt any1, its different type of art and should stay the way it is

sure some have legit critique to but others just nitpick and search stuff to bitch about in animes

I was honestly shocked when i found out that so many people hated this anime because its got to be in my top 10 anime and after reading through the 20 paragraphs of some of these reviews and seeing the line "it was an insult to the manga or light novel" i came to the conclusion that 95% of these bad reviews are made up of the idiots that compare every anime to there manga or light novels and the other 5% are the bad animation people.

For me at least, it's because it's extremely unfaithful to the light novel... I absolutely love the light novel, probably one of my favorite series ever! But the anime cuts so much out! I can deal with the bad cg (I guess :l) but they cut out about 30% of the 1st volume in episodes 1 and 2...hajime in the anime is a horrible character compared to hajime in the ln. If you watched and enjoyed or didn't enjoy the anime I'd HIGHLY recommend reading the ln. There's a channel on YouTube called isekaiaudiotales and they have an audio book of it. The only reason I "like" the anime is bec it was able to get me into the ln. The anime is basically an ad for the ln.

Because people are fucking toxic and entitled. Just because one or two aspects of a show goes against their agendas (f.e. not-good-enough-adaptation, bad CGIs, loli, ecchi, cultural differences, lack of LGBT/coloured characters, etc. ), they'll not hesitate to give it a 1 or 2 without ever looking at the whole picture.

Judge an anime on your own, take the scores with a big pinch of salt (or better, just don't take it at all), and never think an anime sucks to you because it sucks to other people.

Arifureta in particular might seem to have mediocre CGIs and a bit confusing at the start to me, and people say it sucks compared to the LN, but I enjoyed it nonetheless because of its unique characters, much more than those overrated (to me) shounen jump shows. We have our own taste after all.

So I've always liked this anime and just rewatched this yesterday... While I would loved to continue this series through light novel but there's just one small little thing that I hate... fking Harem..... This is the only thing that prevents me from reading the LN, the rest is perfect... MC and FMC perfect together... I swear it would be much better at least for me that the rest of the girls didn't like Hajime... I JUST CAN'T PUT MY TIME IN HAREM LIGHT NOVELS BROOO

After reading this about this show every where, specially isekai discussions I don't get all the hate and hyperbole people would use about it being a dumpster fire, It started super strong and became a bit more light hearted and more SoL as the time went by, much like Shield Hero, CGI is bad but that is basically most if not in all of anime, heck I find he soldiers and shit in Overlord way worse, same with how edgy that one is but everyone loved that one. So I guess this show pissed off edgelords not being edgy enough and SoL lovers not being as comfy as it could be.

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.

I ended up skipping this series because of the reviews and it was another OP main character. But since Crunchyroll has the series I decided to give it a try. Ignoring the horrid CGI, the reviews of this series does not match how good the series is.

Each episode is better then the previous. The characters are different then the normal (other then the dragon girl, an over the top Darkness), and the comedy hits just right.

Still got a couple episodes left to watch, the CGI costs the series a point, but I would rate this after 11 episodes a 7/10 and I would consider picking up the light novels.

Isekai. That's it. People are sick of them.

I'm not tho. But I wish, studios just fully adapt/ complete the full story of Isekais they release instead of pushing more and more new ones.

for me the mc was kinda "try hard" to look cool, but all he do was creating some lame looking weapon and use it to defeat monster. there's lack of action there. what he do was just standing there and shoot and yeah that was his overpowered power.

I have been watching the Anime and so far it's one of my favorites. It's obvious that the main character was inspired by Ed Alphonse from full metal alchemist with the metal arm and ability to transmute any object. I also dig the main characters carefree and recluse personality, seeing most of the people he encounters as annoying. It's a nice change to see in an anime. When it comes to the main character, honestly, if you look at it from the perspective of if the world they live in is a video game, the person playing the game would feel that way towards any npc that gets in the way of the overall experience. Anime is great but I am sure people will have their gripes. Animation is acceptable, I have seen worse (ex:berserk) but I say give it a chance it starts to really good after the first few episodes.

Finally someone who likes it. Arifureta isn't bad. It's funny how people hate on this because of CGI. The CGI wasn't that bad even if I waan't seeing it properly. Although, it is cringing to see people hate on this. They need to shut the fuck up and go watch something else.

Let me say this, this show can be pretty enjoyable at times. I never read the LN, which is strange because I usually read LN. There are moments where you root for the MC, and there are moments where they can evoke emotions out of you and manage to hype you up. But, there are major flaws that turned me and some other people off.

This is my perspective of why I disliked the show. Once again, I don't think that it's bad... But I REALLY dislike harems. When I first noticed that it was slowly turning into a harem, it was an instant turn-off for me. But besides that, there are other factors that led me to disliking the show. Number 1, the anime did the bad job of allowing us to both connect and relate to Nagumo. There were several asspulls (?) not sure if that's the word I am looking for. And both his growth and power-scaling is nothing more than mediocre. I mean his growth in power and his change in personality happened far too sudden, which is possibly better in the LN.

I would like to avoid spoilers. But I hate the way authors write harems so much. A powerful and head strong woman would all of a sudden become a somewhat submissive one who ends up being okay with the harem and is 100% all in on this 5-way relationship. I hate that so much because it's always with people you know this should never happen to. I understand that the point of harem is to give readers/viewers a glimpse into that world and you know... loosen their ties to reality, but man do I hate that. In this case, they had a really good FMC that felt... wasted. Yue and Nagumo had a good thing going and they showed her less and less to give more time to other characters who I don't mind, but at times it was unnecessary. These are my personal opinions, but man did the strike a nerve when watching.

I also wasn't the biggest fan of Nagumo. Now, I have no right to claim that people who are little edgy are not good characters, but it doesn't sit right with me. Some of my favorite MCs include Gintoki, Eren, Kaneki, Tanaka, and Guts. You could argue that Eren, Kaneki, and Guts are quite edgy, and I can't disagree. But they're edgy in a way of... It's natural when they do it. I don't dislike Nagumo, but I had the feeling that it was almost forced. An unnatural level of edginess, I would have to say. I don't dislike him, but that always bothered me. The hair and arm was cool... but the eyepatch was a turnoff and his nonchalant personality once again seemed forced. I'm not saying he is poorly written or anything. I feel that they should have emphasize more on his past and how he was treated more. I believe they have done that in LN. It would have been easier for us to understand what drove him to what he became. For example, in AOT, every season you could see Eren eyes lose hope more and more. We lived through the trauma he went through, and we watched a crazy kid with hope and dreams, become a crazy man with lost hope. You know, ease into a bit more.

With all that said, the story can still be enjoyed. I mean, I probably won't ever finish it, since I know how it ends. If I were to give it a rating, it would NOT be a 1 star... This story does not deserve a 1 star and I do not understand the people that gave it that. I understand that some may not enjoy, but 1 star is going too FAR. Please, save that for stories far, far worse than this one. With that said, this isn't worth a 7 or 8 star either. I think the 6 star rating is fair, but I still like the way it got there.

I personally don't understand the hate. I fell in love with the anime and as much as i hated it turned into a harem I think some of the scenes bring out the MCs personality even more. Ok the CGI is bad and all that but I really can't find anything to hate about it. Again of course it's a matter of personal taste.

once again MAL proved me i should not always read reviews or look at the score (well not that i read the full reviews, since they are, imho, way too long, so long, it feels like its longer than the anime i just watched) . i cant believe how so many extremely bad reviews made it to the tops.. the first 5 top reviews on that anime page give that anime overall rating: 1. lol.

first of all i didnt read the manga or novels, but i really liked this anime. the humor was nice, the characters were nice. but they could have completely taken out the fact that they traveld worlds, since it was so not really fitting in there. but to be fair, "overlord" or even "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" are the same in this case, if you look at them. they only show like.. idk.. a few minutes how they were transfered into the world? after that, the anime is all about the ingame and fantasy world - thats actually similar to this anime, with the fact that they barely waste time in showing how they were transfered - since all "transfering into a game world" happen through a really strange event, like magic, death or modern technology as in SAO. lol. so i think it is fine what they did in this anime.

fun thing is, everyone suddenly becomes top class movie experts when it comes to animes and movies xD the way people write their reviews sometimes, i think: wtf is wrong with them. as if they were pros in making animes. the same with soccer world cup, lol. everyone thinks they have to comment and know it better but never played a match/made an anime themselves.
i wonder if these people watch the anime, or just 'watch' it to write down tons of critical notes. if the latter, of course one wouldnt enjoy anything.

but then, i can understand some critics. the animation was kept at a minimum. most of the time it was made very simple, as if they wanted to save budget. but honestly, i think it didnt turn out bad.
especially there are people who hate "transformed into a game" animes, but they still watch them and then give bad reviews. thats what i dont get, lol. i mean.. for example I myself dislike most sport or music animes (there are exceptions though), so i just dont watch them since i wouldnt enjoy them. not because they are bad, but because i wouldnt like the topic. so why should i waste time and watch it, just to write a negative review about it, when i wont like the topic in the first place, which has nothing to do with the anime itself.

well i wrote more than intended. what i actually wanted to say is: i can understand if someone has critics towards this anime, but i cant understand how it has nearly a score of 7 (which is pretty good i think), while it has so many bad and negative reviews at the tops. lol. (dont get me wrong, the score can stay like this, i dont want it do drop down any further. but how the hell are so many negative reviews pushed up? they are totally not helpful and not objective enough. most of the reviews at the top rows have so many hate-sentences and totally manipulate your own opnion if you didnt watch the anime first)

basicaly, if you ask me, the LN readers need a review for themselves, and the ones never read the LN or Manga need reviews for themselves. well of course animes can jump over a few chapters,and that could make them bad. but one really should see the difference between people who read the LN/Manga, and who didnt.


Finally, someone says what needs to be said! I'm always bumping with those TRASHIER reviews (they have a good structure and all, but their content is rotten) on the top and I just end up learning a huge lesson:
Don't trust MAL reviews!
They are sh*t! Don't represent the anime whatsoever and its audience at all!

Let's see this one, for example, the top 3 reviews score 1,1,2; this means (looking at the anime stats):
- It represents the 2 less voted scores;
- A total of 5% of the public opinion
- What 17,5k people think out of +350k

All of this only shows that the anime is heavily downrated because those MINORITIES!!! have nothing else to do!
Conclusion: MAL reviews (and this could be said for the so-called reviewers as well) are trash and shouldn't be there influencing other people at all (or at least trying to, since many people don't listen to them).
r_justoDec 20, 2022 9:30 PM
For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.
