layfonkun said: A bit surprised after looking through the reviews and talking to others at just how many people have such a negative experience with SoniAni, many of whom dropped the show before making it halfway... Is it simply because the show isn't the full on ecchi fan service bonanza a lot of people expected? Are we just experiencing the typical hyperbole people like to engage in? Or do people honestly feel it's that bad (or too boring, depending on who you ask/what you like)? I'm a fan of the show, so take that as you will. I don't think it's anything special but it's far from terrible either. Pretty much this, its common for shows a lot of people find to be below-average(I'm not one of those people). |
| Tehe first post on forum except club posts! I was about to write a more positive review on this anime myself after seeing the (very) negative ones up now, but, I'm not much of a reviewer so couldn't do it. Just wanted to say something... somewhere. I'm loving this anime, I don't mind fanservice, I simply look past it, and really, while in some episdoes there was fanservice for a rather large portion of the episode, sometimes there were none in others. Maybe I've just grown resistant to fanservice animes after the ones I've watched. '-' I'm a slice of life fan myself and was enjoying the episodes I've seen just as much as any (ok,there are quite a few exceptions though) others to be honest. I'm not much of a story person and mostly like animes with just fun and peaceful moments. (Ikoku Meiro no Croisée comes to mind) All in all, I'm liking it, funny and sometimes really peaceful anime that I can just relax and have a good time with, for me. Luckily I'm not one to listen or even read reviews, especially on MAL. So many animes I've watched that are up there among my favourites that have terrible reviews sadly. '-' |

| Some people just can't get by the character design of Sonico. They immediately vote down and bad mouth anything where the character is drawn with larger breasts or a hint of sexuality. I admit that I was expecting a bit more fan service than this series has had, but I have been very impressed with the quality Slice of Life story lines that's come from this show. Sonico's trip in episode 7 was a great case in point along with the main story about Ayaka's Christmas wish in this week's episode. Another reason not to judge anime by just it's cover (or character designs). |
| Their expectations weren't met (whatever it was). The art kind of threw me off at first but when I look at it as a SoL anime, I think it accomplished what it was set to do: little to no drama, pretty chill and just watching Sonico live her daily life. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |

| From what I've seen in reviews and forum posts, people who like fan service expected fan service, and people who don't like it complain because its full of it. Its just like you said, Heredity said: The whole point of the show is watching Sonico be the biggest ditsy cutie ever. I don't know why you'd watch it for any other reason. |
| People just like to hop on the hate train. I find it amusing that the score is so low and there are so many negative reviews, when people on the episode discussions don't find anything wrong with the show at most part. I even saw a comment on one profile saying 'That Super Sonico show is making me furious' or something, yet they still watch it. People just like to express negativity as much as they like to express positivity, just for kicks. I can understand why people find this show unlikeable, but why keep on watching something you dislike? This show was meant to be a Slice of Life with touches of fanservice with Sonico, the Nitro+ mascot with the ditsy characteristic and a large chest. That's what the show promised to be, and that it is. Yet some people expect the show to be with conflict, drama, murders, plot twists and bloodthirsty psycho killers? If you want to enjoy a Slice of Life show with Nitro+ mascot, then watch it. If you want a harem of Yanderes hacking each other to bloody bits then go watch that. It makes no sense to me to watch something you'd know you will dislike from the start and go boast about it. For the sake of criticism that's acceptable. But the reviews I see on the Sonico page are just pure hate on how the show is sexist because the cast has big breasts, and how the show is only meant to sell more merchandise and nobody can possibly enjoy Super Sonico The Animation. Well I do, and I'm not the only one. |

| I only really watch it for Ouka-chan, the zombie episode really saved it for me. |

| I started late. I'm 5 episodes in and so far each episode has been better than the previous one. The first three episodes were boring, but now it's getting better. I'll probably stick with it. Even if it never gets better, at least it's better than Pupa. |
| People expected K-On S3 and got mad. |
| People just have some terrible opinions, I guess? o-o I mean, yeah, there are lots of negative reviews on a cute anime like this, but maybe people expected more from this anime, and they just didn't get it, so they're hating. :/ Whatever though, I just say to myself "Screw people's horrible opinions" and just keep watching a great anime, forget and ignore the negative reviews. :3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |

| I've watched great anime and i've watched some that is truly awful, while sonico wasn't awful but was woefully average. For you to call it great just makes you look lie you've not viewed much. |

| Don't get the hate either. It still was better than shit like Yuyushiki or Kiniro Mosaic. |

| I didn't complete this anime yet, but I don't think it is a good anime If you are watching this because of the cute females. then I recommend watching Z/X: Ignition which has even cuter females. And unlike sonico it has story and action |
| I didn't really go into this show excepting much. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, so I kept on watching. But then I just stopped watching at some point. While I did like some bits of it, I guess I just got bored with it. This is the first time this has happened, so I can't offer an explanation as to what caused it. If people like watching something like Sonico, I don't have a problem with it. I just think they could spend more time watching high-quality non-content instead of... just non-content. |

| I enjoyed it for simply being laid back, amusing, and oddly relaxing. Especially the traveling episode. The minor fan service they had didn't better than at all, I guess it's because I have what alot of people nowadays tend to lack: open minded tolerance. |

| People wanted this to be an anime about Sonico being Sonico. That's what it is. Not sure what people expected. |
| The anime has a low rating for MAL, but the rating is quite accurate this time. I gave it a 6 too. Because it is a good show but not really amazing. Just something you watch lazely on a sunday with a mug of coco or coffee. Except the EP with Sonicos trip, that one I really enjoyed because it was pure SoL-stuff. thepath said: I didn't complete this anime yet, but I don't think it is a good anime If you are watching this because of the cute females. then I recommend watching Z/X: Ignition which has even cuter females. And unlike sonico it has story and action Z/X, story? Oh well, if you call a series of pasted cliches a story, then maybe. Not everyone is into action and the girls arent as cute as sonico. |
| make sonico and her friends into 12 year old girls instead and watch the views and ratings skyrocket... srsly, this shit is no different than 99% of shitty little school girls doing stupid random shit slice of shit anime out there.. I think most are just disappointed that sonico is already physically fully developed.. fuck is fucking gay earth |
 |
| I don't really care about the reviews of other people, I review on the basis of enjoyment(70%) and how the anime really is(30%) and yes I did enjoy this anime, I saw it with low expectations and was fairly entertained. |
