Thanks for reminding me I need to upvote Molcar cuz I saw two episodes in a groupwatch and it was infectiously charming

Fun stop-motion animation (even CGi meant to replicate it, tho that's not as good as the real deal, tho isn't Molcar actual stop-motion) with solid comedy is always appreciated

plus, there have been way more clownish things that have had higher scores than the things you talked about, anyway *cough* Kimi no Na wa and Weathering With you *cough*

Either way THE GIGA CHAD, THE MAN, THE MEME, THE LEGEND HIMSELF has returned

MAL's "we're fucked o-meter" has risen as a result

It'll inevitably turn into a completely irredeemable dumpster fire, sure, but it's a refreshing change of pace from the sheer repetitiveness of most topics on this board

give me this over some shinobu or 8man profile picture giving their revolutionary new vapid one line response in a thread i've probably seen 1,000+ times in the past 5 years
I almost welcome him back if this means MAL forums can go back to the glorious dumpster fires of 2017

lolssss what's with people hating on Kimi no Na wa and Weathering with You? The animation is amazing, artistically sublime... the plot is mayb a 7/10 or 8/10 if you're feeling generous... so what's with all the hate?

The character writing for the teenagers come off as facsimiles of what teenagers act like, the main plots generally make no sense and often feel incredibly contrived, and I particularly detest Weathering's ending and implications as well as how hard it goes against the development Hodaka was primed to take cuz "fuck growth and acceptance, I need my girl even at the cost of everything sinking and millions of lives displaced which conveniently goes along with nature taking its course in a very accelerationist way". Hell, the latter film has a lot of noticeably jarring environmental and character CGI compared to Kimi no Na wa.

In spite of that, I think Weathering is slightly better cuz it at least has good adult characters who feel authentic. I always found Shinkai's adult characters and tone pieces more authentic and effective than his blockbusters tbh.

Regardless, the point is the dude is overreacting to a fun stop-motion comedy placing high when stuff like Bunny Girl recently did just as well still have higher scores than Gankutsuou and some other critically acclaimed masterpieces and classics like Berserk 1997 and Ghost in The Shell have.

Well, I can agree that Makoto Shinkai's productions don't have the strongest plots. His productions are usually more artistically compelling rather than focused on having a strong narrative. They have emotional moments but the storylines are not, usually, solid.

But, based on the art and emotional impact alone, I'd say they're still pretty good productions.

The visuals of both range from good to astounding with how detailed they are. I'll agree there, even if I don't consider them the best around in that department. However, the primarily emotion they elicit out of me is anger. I find Kimi no Na wa obnoxiously contrived and annoying with its characters, and I find myself disgusted by Weathering's entire last act. I can't consider them good anime overall, even if they are pretty to look at. To each their own, I suppose.

1. MAL rankings are as far from an indicator of actual quality as you can get
2. Molcar is great and deserves its placement
Edit:
3. Just realized you said Molcar was CGI. They aren't, it's all stop-motion. And very, very good stop-motion animation at that

I haven't seen the show in question, but since it is animation made in Japan it's considered anime. There are actually quite the amount of good stop-motion anime out there, such as Thunderbolt Fantasy and Elemi.

because nothing needs to be refuted. He's basically saying that the MAL rankings are wrong and everyone that rated it highly is dumb because he says so. There's no argument being made there. The rankings are an aggregation of everyone's ratings. Think something is too high or too low? Cool, well there are a lot of people that disagree with you. There's tons of stuff that's really high in the MAL rankings I think doesn't belong there. Do you see me complaining about it? No, because MAL rankings are a meme and everyone else decided it does belong there. That's why this is silly.

The concern is how this ranks in the top 200 anime of all time and only continues to rise, not the format, animation style, or that people like the work. Myself, I really enjoy Pui Pui Molcar, but does it deserve the placement it's at? No, not really, especially when you think about how few other short-episode series rank comparatively. Most series, even if you didn't care for it and disagree with its placement, you can reasonably understand why it landed where it did; Pui Pui Molcar just doesn't add up. Does the show have cute animal characters? So does Chi's Sweet Home (7.70). Are the stop-motion settings greatly detailed? So it is in Rilakkuma and Kaoru (7.65). Is the absurd humor that pairs with its unconventional style a charming and welcome change of pace? So it is in Hulaing Babies (5.88). Once it has finished airing, it will probably settle around a mid-to-high 7, and we can call it a day. However, if it does keep it's placement, that does give one pause to consider the credibility of the top ranking anime. Regardless if you personally care about these things, many normal users use these scores and rankings as a guide to see what shows have the highest technical merits and are most worth watching, so seeing these relatively unknown works getting incredibly high scores is a perfectly normal thing to want to address.

I wholeheartedly agree. Still, they could try talking about the rankings in some constructive way, or ignore the thread. But guess what they do instead: bash someone's list because they don't like the anime they have on their favorites list. MAL community truly is something else.

It barely has 1500 ratings, so obviously it's going to be a bit skewed. Who cares about scores anyway, not like it affects you.

When you sort anime on MAL by aggregate score I regret to inform y'all that "Pui Pui Molcar" an absurd show about CGI hamsters shaped like vehicles now finds itself cemented in the top 200 with a score that's rising daily. At first I thought it was a meme, or being boosted by what I call "Irony 10s" untiil I started reading the actual reviews and forum posts and came to the aneurysm inducing conclusion that these people are actually serious.

Yes, folks. A 2 minute show about CGI hamsters shaped as cars that randomnly cuts to cringy Koreans (real living Koreans) in the backseat of these things dancing is now ranked AHEAD of actual masterpieces such as Gankutsuo, Shinsekai Yori, Katanagatari, and honestly God knows what else.

MAL has reached peak levels of autism and officially lost the plot.

Congrats, I didn't think y'all could go any lower.



I have not watched Pui Pui Molcar but some don't just watch it for the plot and may find Hamsters are cute and like it. Everyone have different taste and opinion. You call the mentioned series Gankutsuo(dropped like 3 episodes) , Shinsekai Yori, Katanagatari a masterpiece but I found them to be average.I wasn't enjoying as much as I thought with all the hype and reviews.

When you put it that way, it does sound really bad.

But it's not surprising, honestly. There are mostly young people in MAL, and younger people tend to have less critical sense. They are probably voting more for enjoyment and playfulness then critically comparing different series. And there are still a lot of them memeing, never underestimate the levels that trolling could get to.

And really, is that so wrong? I don't think the score of a comedy/cutesy show (for children?) would tell you much about what to expect from a parallel sci-fi horror show. They're different genres for different demographics and purposes, and it makes sense to expect different average scores for them.

only commented cuz I find it refreshing to see someone who is unafraid to defend their love for SAO.

There's some things you could say about it, but it's not a bad anime at all... It has some great moments, and it's honestly quite enjoyable...

People only put it in a shit tier because of how insanely popular it is. Like, there are TONS of anime that have the same talking points but don't get NEARLY as much flak for just because they aren't as well known. Like, the same people that would talk shit on SAO would defend other anime with the same exact talking points. Just crazy. I think it's just because, they loved it too when they first saw it, and then they found how how popular it was with everyone else, and so like, the glaring issues it had were brought under the microscope be just about everyone in existence who ever watched a single anime once in their life.

Yupp I mostly agree with this. I've spent 7-8 years defending SAO in the forums and going into so much depth so many times, I won't do it here cause I'm too lazy, but yeah SAO is a net good show. It has weak and indefensible moments and arcs, but the good qualities of SAO far outweigh its negatives.

No I think you're right. Hes probably browsing the top 200 anime entries and comes across "Pui Pui Molcar" then decides to rate it a 1/10 , hoping it would drop its overall rating so that his fav anime titles would rank higher.

Johan does seem to be into his plots and storyline as he mentioned Gankutsuo, Shinsekai Yori, Katanagatari are masterpiece. However, I realised these are not on the list and has fav has SAO , Clannad AS and Angel Beats.

I think whats more "jarring" about NGE was the animation and budget concerns- especially those final 2 episodes. I also actively disliked most of the characters. Shinji and Asuka were downright unbearable. Gendou had good motives, but just came across as such a shitty father it was hard to sympathise with him. And Rei was really boring and personalityless. I actually did really respect the thematic depth and symbolism of NGE - the dead sea scrolls, angels, instrumentality - it was conceptually an iconic and revolutionary anime for many reasons - but it's characters and animation definitely hold it back from being a masterpiece for me.

Contrary to what my antagonists think, I'm extremely well versed in my thoughts and opinions, I just don't really bother to waste my time showing that to people like Codeblazefate that aren't worth it.

Meaningless speculation. I watched the first 8 episodes of Pui Pui Molcar, and can fully describe the only episode i remember being a bunch of hamster cars trying to force one hamster car into a carwash and then tricking him with a golden carrot. I'm not the type of person that has to lie or pretend to have seen things i haven't seen. Also if I hadn't seen it how would i know it's score is this absurd, and how would i be able to describe events happening like the animation cutting to real live living Koreans dancing in the backseat of these vehicles? Likewise i watched episodes 6-8 with @Roberto to show him how bad the show was. As if i need people to confirm my alibi for watching cartoons now lmfao

Edit: Shinsekai Yori, Gankutsuo, and Katanagatari are masterpieces.

.... So Are Clannad AS & Angel Beats.

You're asking the wrong person, Codeblazefate is inclined to make himself feel cool smart and different by hating most things that are popular and universally acclaimed. Kimi no na Wa is among the top 3 anime movies I've ever seen, and uhhhh.... I've seen my fair share of anime movies..
Aside from some of FLCL and the one episode of SoraYori I gave before deciding I don't wanna continue, I only hate things I think suck, m8. Plus I don't need to make a thread shaming MAL for upvoting strange shows I dislike just to prove my own intellectual and taste superiority, so let's not cast stones :)

tfw hobbyist reviewer with score lower than 6 = elitist unless you're Stark. Such is the law of MAL, as disliking a few recent mainstream anime while praising others makes u a legal cuck

but ye, stop-motion Molcar is based and we needa get it from 1.5K viewers on MAL to at least twice that

To be fair you have to have a pretty high IQ to understand the subtle nuances of Pui Pui Molcar XD. No, but seriously it has a very low member count so that lack of people who watched it plus the people who did watch giving a pretty high score inflated to the top 200.

Meaningless speculation. I watched the first 8 episodes of Pui Pui Molcar, and can fully describe the only episode i remember being a bunch of hamster cars trying to force one hamster car into a carwash and then tricking him with a golden carrot. I'm not the type of person that has to lie or pretend to have seen things i haven't seen. Also if I hadn't seen it how would i know it's score is this absurd, and how would i be able to describe events happening like the animation cutting to real live living Koreans dancing in the backseat of these vehicles? Likewise i watched episodes 6-8 with @Roberto to show him how bad the show was. As if i need people to confirm my alibi for watching cartoons now lmfao

Edit: Shinsekai Yori, Gankutsuo, and Katanagatari are masterpieces.

.... So Are Clannad AS & Angel Beats.


Fair play as I have come across some people downvote after trying a anime for one minute and giving a 1/10 rating . Everyone has different taste and opinion. I feel Demon Slayer is overrated but some may think its a top tier anime series. I feel your post is forcing your opinion onto others because you feel the anime you mentioned is superior. In other words An elitist.

Clannad AS, its been ages since I have seen this but I remember it was rather boring and suppose to be based on "real life" which at the start it was then went into fairy land. The pacing felt slow and characters did not stand out.

Shinsekai Yori is a typical example of a anime series, hide as much from the start then release the full hidden story at the end. I guess its one of those plot tactics which makes the viewer guessing. These are just my thoughts and I am sure you will disagree and will think the opposite.

You know unironically maybe you're on to something. All the aneurysms MAL has given me over the years has proably lowered my IQ. Maybe i'm the retard surrounded by a bunch of normal people.

Clannad almost always presented itself as a Slice of Life, Drama, Romance, Fantasy. I don't see how you can not acknowledge the fantastical elements of Clannad whn there were characters such as "Fuuko" early on. Plus its a Jun Maeda work.

Kimetsu no Yaiba is overrated, and its also a good show. Both can be simultaneously true. It does have some of the top 5 animation I've ever seen from a series ever, but I definitely don't think it was a special shounen- or anything better than the likes of Magi, Nanatsu no Taizai, or Ao No Exorcist. They're all on a similar tier story wise.

tfw hobbyist reviewer with score lower than 6 = elitist unless you're Stark. Such is the law of MAL, as disliking a few recent mainstream anime while praising others makes u a legal cuck

Lost the plot? I think the MAL community will only gain its plot when it finally stops caring about community scores lmao
