 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| MAL is nowadays pretty much only a zoomer-dominated place that tends to only pay attention to 2 and only 2 things: - Production values. - Instant gratification. That's how shows like Jujutsu and Demon Slayer got so high. |
| this kind of shitstorm/show are hypocritical,pretending they're to be elite,atleast see the review and compare them who's better in your opinion about the flaws and positives |
 |
| What isn't to get? It's a fun, inoffensive anime with great animation, stylish character designs, good OST, and a lot of colorful characters. The exact same reason everything else is popular. |
 |
| I agree. While it is a good anime, it clearly dose'nt deserve to be rated 8.5+. It should be rated somewhere between 8 and 8.5. |
| I enjoyed watching Jujutsu Kaisen a lot, and it has an interesting and unique concept. |
 |
| Maybe it's so highly rated because...a lot of people enjoyed it? The reason it seems there's more hate than praise for it when you look at the forums is because humans prefer to complain about things they don't like more than praising the things they like. For every person crying "overrated!!" on the forums you have 100 people giving it an 8 and moving on. Also don't start with the "more highly ranked than it deserves" bullshit. Who are you or anyone else here to decide what score a certain anime deserves. Just accept the fact that your opinion doesn't represent the majority. |
 |
| Only argument people are bringing is that it isn't very original and generic. Thats a shitty argument. A show doesn't have to be original to be good. Its a well done shonen, has great horror elements backed up by amazing OSTs which match the dark atmosphere very well, well written, dynamic side characters and interesting antagonists, well explained and unique power system and exciting fight scenes with top tier animation. Its is also highly enjoyable. What else do you want? The best arc hasn't even been animated yet, just wait and see how much it will improve with its upcoming(but unannounced) sequels. (Just in case if you are wondering this isn't a sequel, but a prequel movie about one of the characters named Yuuta who hasn't shown up in the anime yet so I didn't mean it as the best arc, I meant The Shibuya Incident arc(from chapter 79 - 136 which hasn't been animated in s1) Just wanted to say this: I think it is pretty obvious that if JJK was not as popular, everyone would be calling it a hidden gem and underrated, just like Kemono Jihen the previous season was getting called underrated when it was a fucking mediocre series, Odd taxi and Vivy are the ones this season, neither of them are particularly great or a hidden gem but ya know, todays logic is unpopular=quality, no, not even popularity=quality even though many claim so. Also, if many people liked it and rated it high, you can't really say its overrated since those people gave it a score they though JJK deserved, less gave it a low score, more people gave it a high score bc they liked it. There are many opinions but just because you think different way you can't force people into thinking that its overrated. Instead say if it is good or not and state that they shouldn't go in with high expectations, it would be more informational as well. ------------------- Felt the need to tell you how shows are ranked in general so I will be putting this up here: How are MyAnimeList scores calculated? All scores given in the database are calculated as a weighted score. Weighted Score = (v / (v + m)) * S + (m / (v + m)) * C S = Average score for the anime/manga v = Number users giving a score for the anime/manga † m = Minimum number of scored users required to get a calculated score C = The mean score across the entire Anime/Manga database † Note that v does not correspond to the "number of scored users" as seen on the database page. Scores from users who have not viewed 1/5 of the series upon its completion are not included. Scores given from illegitimate accounts created to sway votes are also not included in the scoring algorithm. Where I got it from: Or the link here. ------------------- Hope the OP, @Rudysartous actually views the answers and doesn't just wait for it to reach in popular topics, I want you to pay more attention to @Mirai anwser and the sentence: Also don't start with the "more highly ranked than it deserves" bullshit. Who are you or anyone else here to decide what score a certain anime deserves. Just accept the fact that your opinion doesn't represent the majority. I think they put it in sentence very well. |

| Because people are suck-ups for whatever is trending, thats not saying jjk isn't a good series. Bit mediocre at times, innovative at other times but I still see it as 7/10! So don't worry, I'm sure if "ur fav underground" show got mainstream it'll be highly rated as well. Because again people don't know what's good & what's bad. |
 |
| Why did you give it a 9/10 then? |

Rudysartous said: If fmab can be #1 than anything is possible bro.From the forum all i see mostly are people saying its overrated,meh,average? Like just how come is the rating that high? 🤔. My perfect guess is that im guessing that the majority of the raters rated this show only because it has good animations? Just no way thats the only reason... some animes have more good sakuga animations than jjk and they are lower rated. And I dont really see much praise for the story here, jjk probably the only anime in top 50 that lacks in comparison to the other anime in top 50 in terms of writing. Is this a rare case where the anime doesnt deserve to be as highly ranked as it is? What do yall think? |
 "No one can rewrite the stars How can you say you'll be mine? Everything keeps us apart And I'm not the one you were meant to find It's not up to you you It's not up to me When everyone tells us what we can be How can we rewrite the stars?" |
| Because the show is amazing and people have different opinions than you |

| Well because it's good show that's why well of course elite in mal will have mindbreak after this being highly rated then there fav animu you can clearly find them here in evry jjk thread easily but they are just minority |

| This thread shows exactly my thought. I don't understand all the praise. Is it good? Surely it is, JJK has some nice fights and all. But #27 is a bit too much, especially when you check the animes behind it. Which are better written and with a great plot. Maybe this is due to the "new anime effect", when a fresh anime is hyped and gets good scores in the first months, but then the numbers low with time. |

DanteHawke said: Just because you don't get it doesn't mean it shouldn't be highly-rated. Imho it should be rated that high because i do think season 1 has everything good even the story(which includes the characters,plot, worldbuilding) What i dont get is that it seems like a lot of people here seems to think jjk is average or overrated but the rating is just that high, it doesnt sync at all. Maybe im seeing things wrong here? Perhaps there is a majority side of the forum which praises jjk?

Jjk plot is just killing curse and collect that fcking finger. Which is just basicit boring for u and plot isn’t simple so jjk deserves 8.79 thats a pretty stupid oversimplification. If i were to say from a different pov, then Monster plot is just a doctor trying to kill a blond psycho dude UknwWhu said: Hanami?? I think you mean Nanami... Hanamis character is one dimensional as hellI agree with you. The tie seems to be the rise of social media platforms like instagram and the hype they create around shows. We are more interested in being part of the crowd than having our own thoughts on productions these days. A lot of the stuff that is coming out has a ton of social media presence, whether they are good or bad has become negligible. The hype train is in full swing around shounen anime. And who can blame the protagonists of it like Crunchroll and Netflix? - there is a ton of money involved. JJK is a hype train. It has a ton of good animation during the action sequences. But all in all, there is nothing special about it PERSONALLY (better include that before someone goes - ITADORI IS EPIC AND GORO SENSEI'S DOMAIN IS OFF THE CHAINS). But we should take cognisance of the fact that these shows are not made for the crowd who consume them these days - shounen has a target audience. And I don't fall into the target audience. But HANAMI was a special character in a sea of mediocre characters FMmatron said: Because i love it.

Ok, I was a bit confused because of your second paragraph. And no, majority actually thinks it's a great anime. Look at the stats, the episode discussions or social media. |

| Just the loud minority being loud as usual so their opinion can be seen in the sea of positivities. Even myself who's not the biggest fan of shonen battle anime really enjoyed that. Its a bit generic yes, but its still a well done simple story with no unlikable and/or annoying characters backed with goddamn good productions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
 |
| I mean it's the most hyped anime when it was airing plus it's a shounen with really good animation and music so ofc it's gonna be high rated but I think the scores will start dropping in few months just like what happened to demon slayer. Ilhan391 said: Jjk is boring tbh. The plot is simple. The character is just basic. I don't get why it get 8.79.jjk above monster is just disgusting Ya that kinda pisses me off Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |
