cakeisthesauce said: wanna know what's actually overrated? the ENTIRE FMA series... im still wondering how the hell FMA : brotherhood managed to make it to rank #1 for gods sake at least one who says what i'm thinking so yea how about we stop this thread and move to the FMA forums and also this n01kaizerm said: It is surprising... You'd think with the experience of anime-watchers around here, that they'd know that one episode doesn't make an anime; and that even if the early part of a series is good, doesn't mean that it'll end well. |
| Anime itself is good, not so great as i expected, but at least it doesn't differ much from manga (censorship, yeah... waiting for bd version...), maybe such high rank is really too much. Me myself, I have policy not to rank anime until it finished airing, but let people do what they want. |
cakeisthesauce said: wanna know what's actually overrated? the ENTIRE FMA series... im still wondering how the hell FMA : brotherhood managed to make it to rank #1 it reached one cause its epic , unlike hotd , which has nothin to show besides zombies and jingling breasts . . . Trust me this show has potential . . But the execution isn't good enough. . . But i still feel hotd owns crap like HARUHI SUZUMIYA , ANY DAY . . . Now thats what i call OVERRATED |

Contrast to manga which had almost zero settlement in terms of plot or character due to extremely rushed pace, these first episodes were pretty damn good imo.

| Yeah . . ^^ thats where the execution of this show is flawed . . |
| ^ ._. You need to know what execution even means. Execution of fan-service itself was superb. I mean, it was actually funny when that fatty got knock out by ditz nurse omega boob punch. Lol for those who are expecting TTGL story for the zombie survival anime. |

Man why you all just accept this is mashing-zombie head made by hentai artist and adapted by freaking MADHOUSE, MADHOUSE bro MADHOUSE and DeathNote Director. Eye candy project from one of the best anime maker out there.. |

| I also feel this show is really overrated. I was looking forward to it and make no mistake, the first episode was actually good. However, it is still far from the "OMG this is the best anime ever!" feedback that I see over and over again. |
| To all those butthurt people saying 'OMG STFU HATERZ THESE THREADS SHOULD BE DELETED IF YOU DON"T LIKE IT DONT WATCH!!!' ...wtf if you don't like these threads don't read them. You don't even have to post in them.. I think this series is getting high ratings because everyone came into this knowing what to expect...and HOTD met those expectations in spades. Its like movie genres, fans of romance would give their favorite romcom 10/10, but hardcore action fans wouldn't go near it and may even think its overrated. Similarly, HOTD only does gore and echi, and it does it well. |
| Why is it that HOTD's criticism is all aimed at the 'tropes', like zombie outbreak and such. It's intentionally trying to be as cliche as possible. Sure, it's not going to win any awards for it. But what does it nicely, as one review of Star Crossed Anime has described, is that it does adrenaline so bloody well. Yeah, it’s pretty much like expected. The story itself has the depth of a paper bucket, we have a school zombie invasion and your average teen-aged lead happens to be one of the few who manages to escape, along with his love interest. There’s a ton of fanservice as well. Does that matter, though? Of course not! This is just one of those shows that knows exactly what it is: adrenaline. This episode was a great taste in what is about to come, with a tight and over the top atmosphere, with a lot of passion and overacting. Right from the start, this would be a series that’s going to sell itself with its action, and well, in this episode it accomplished its mission! And with this, what HOTD has done that no other anime can do this season, is Adrenaline. You cannot deny that. I cannot deny that. It's an anime that's extremely good at its action scenes. Plus it's two episode in, so we have to be patient to see whether it'll pick up. As for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood being overrated. It's myanimelist for christ sake. Nothing can convince me that the majority of the MAL userbase have taste in... actually anything. FMA: B is a great anime in my opinion and i love it. It's one of my personal favourites. It deserves a high rating in my opinion. Yet the retards on MAL praise it in such stupidity that I'm willing to kick their nuts. |

Sound of jiggle boob might look foolish, but I found it more refreshing than average other show's. At least that's what I thought. Can't say anything about what you said on female characters being dull. I agree Rei and pink hair is a fag. However, fatty otaku, ditz nurse and S-girl is brilliant. But lol, it's pretty pointless trying to ANALyse anime that is made for 'no-content zombie survival adventure'. It's pretty stupid if you can't enjoy anime for 'LACK OF PLOT' or 'BOOB JIGGLE SOUND'. This anime is for no-brainers~~ You are cool... oh wait. silent_killer said: You just lost the game. *thumbs up^kagurawr , guess the brainless one is here to spread some more bitterness .

LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR EVERYONE , I DON'T HATE HOTD , I DON'T LOVE IT EITHER . The show is good . . And it has the potential to be great . . . |
| Another Flame thread! Wooot! Every top 1-20 animes have the same thread as this. So don't ask why is it overrated. Because most people in MAL are either bunch's of idiots or simple minded. People just like it and simply rated them 10/10. Instead of analyzing every aspect of the animes to get the score. This thread has nowhere to go. --------------------------------- OMG, why is this #1? Why is this overrated? This came nowhere? I am seeing things? OMG, Ranked #1 |

| This must be the first series where only a few episodes came out and there's several flame-related threads already. I dunno if I should use the word awesome or laaaaaame. bensherman said: It's called stopping the hate, yo. A purposeful hate thread created in the series' own section.

| Am I the only one who seems thoroughly amused just by skimming through the comments on this thread? xD |
~ SilentMuse, At Your Service. ~ |
| ^ teh comments: WTF THIS THREAD IS AWESOME OMFG |
| I know it is overrated, I was surprised to actual see so high ranks especially from the first episode. I tend to judge anime after I have watched a big amount of episodes. And we don't know how many episodes this one is gonna be. For me it's not the very best anime of the year, but I still like it. The whole survival thing from zombies is good, like in Resident Evil. |
 |
I feel the need to spread the word. |
| I can agree that it sounds overrated ( In the beginning i thought the same) but after watching 3 episodes now, i think it is really well made and every episode have caught my fullest attention while watching. I think people, who has watched too many movies like the plot in HOTD (diesease,Zombies,survival of the fittest etc.) just are bored of seeing it again and again.( I haven't watched similar movies to HOTD and haven't even played Resident Evil xD) But you have to think this is an Anime, so treat it as one. Maybe you are all just HATERS lol Funny Thread btw |

Kagurawr said: Is it just me or should anime series be rated based on the anime itself?! Heh, probably the most agreeable thing you've said on the HOTD forums yet. |
| --- Hmm... |
| I think what people fail to see is that this show isn't made to be the next great masterpiece. It's made solely for purpose of killing zombie's and fan service. It doesn't have a "good story" but that isn't this show's purpose. It's pure fun, and that is it. Take it at that, it's not like people would call Azumanga Daioh bad because of the lack of plot. No this show isn't the best, nor does it try to be it. It understand in itself what it is and in that case it is executed fairly well. Just sit back and enjoy the zombie killing. |
| Opinions are like farts. Everyone else's stinks but only you can smell the fresh fragrance of your own. With that said, overrated topics are pointless. Everyone rates things differently. Anyone who starts them is just a hate spreader. ArtRodriguez said: Seriously? If you don't have an anime on my list I never watched it? Is that how MAL works? Why would you log 'some' of your anime and not all? If it's due to laziness then that's their own fault. |
cakeisthesauce said: supersayen said: cakeisthesauce said: wanna know what's actually overrated? the ENTIRE FMA series... im still wondering how the hell FMA : brotherhood managed to make it to rank #1 How do you know it's overrated if you didn't even watch it ? (according to your list) call it "instinct", i know the synopsis and it sounds an awful lot like the typical shounen, but, unlike other shounen, the premise of the story and the artwork for that matter, doesnt appeal to me. The same can be said about Hajime No Ippo So the same logic, I can call you a a raging homo slut, and say its 100% because I got a feeling. -winks- This is just like Twilight haters. Bashing it based on what other people who haven't read it bash it about. If you don't like something without seeing it, or reading it or whatever, you need some hardcore help in defining the meaning of the word "Critic" Rule of thumb is. You can not like it having not seen it, but it can not be overrated or bad without seeing in its entirety. |
| Twilight hating and HOTD loving are a similar case. Here's why (tl;dr at the end): It's not like bashing Twilight isn't valid. I've read the whole series, and I can confidently say that the narrative doesn't even get at all good until the the 4th book. She doesn't even start writing well until midnight sun, which isn't going to be published anyway. The first book is pretty awful actually, so it's everyone's first impression of it. Past that, the people who didn't like it told everyone else, and they promptly decided to. HOTD goes similarly. It had a dynamite first episode, which was exceptional among this season's anime, so it's perfectly understandable why everyone thinks it's really good, despite how awful the second one is. Admittedly, there's a lot of this "monkey see, monkey do" crap going on, but it's still a valid statement to say that HOTD started off relatively well, with two very good episodes so far, the same way Twilight had an atrociously bad first book, and a mediocre second, and so on. It wasn't the worst series ever, by any means, though the movies suggest otherwise (and that is another story entirely). It kind of stems from that, and then everyone else follows along and things get blown way out of proportion. So yes, by that process, everything good is overrated, with some random exceptions like One Piece, though I guess that's debatable. tl;dr: Things get overrated because as soon as the first people to read/watch something like it, everyone else follows to create a giant train of thoughtless worshipping, which is what's going on with HOTD, pretty much just because the first episode was awesome. Similarly, Twilight is monstrously overrated by fans, and most of the haters don't even know anything about it, because people like me read it first and told everyone else that it sucks, because 90% of it does. Holy shit, that tl;dr was too long. Here's another one: Everything is overrated. |

Project_MkUltra said: 32 [mostly positive] reviews, 1,111 replies in the episode 1 discussion thread, ranked #113 for the top anime list already, etc... Seriously, What.The.Fuck. I'm hearing people saying that this is (literally) THE best anime of the year, and if not, EVER. I wouldn't mind if the anime already finished, but only 1 episode aired so far. Don't get what the huge fuss is about. IMHO the episode was mediocre and is probably going in my drop list by episode 5. Maybe it'll go in my favorite list, who knows. You can't judge the entire anime by one episode. All those reviews should get deleted. I'm now atleast 50% sure that some of the fans are going to get butthurt for me expressing my opinion. You hardcore fans remind me of Narutards for some reason. It's decent, but remember this. People who vote, and people who review tend to be the ones that ENJOY the anime, and want OTHERS to enjoy it. Theres probably a source of miniority that CBF to start a backlash on the fanbase or are simply neutral on the hype issue. I do not blame you in raging as this occurs in MANY popular series, like Code Geass, Durarara, Lucky Star, Baccano, Clannad, Naruto, etc. abeit them not being first-episode reviews. And seriously I do not believe that the 112 reviews can be objective as it's only a couple of episodes in at this point, but then again, who can stop a bandwagon? |
| Threads like this are usually started by butthurt people D: |

| You mean a blog, a review would be just as bad as this thread. |
| I don't know but rating a anime before it's over is stupid to me which is why not one of the anime on my watching list has a score and won't have one until i get done with it. |

Gogetters said: I don't know but rating a anime before it's over is stupid to me which is why not one of the anime on my watching list has a score and won't have one until i get done with it. Not really. If that was the case, series like One Piece will never get a rating. IMHO, ratings are not permanent. After a good 5-6 episodes, you should be able to judge the anime for what it's worth so far. It can improve or get worse after that but you can just adjust your rating accordingly. |
