T3hSource said: mayukachan said: Again: FEELZ!lol I don't if you've been reading any of the high rated reviews, but OST and "feels" aren't the only things that were praised in this show. There were plenty of other things it achieved that other shows couldn't do as well: atmosphere, mood, thrill, pace, suspense, directing, style, and these aren't even all of the things I can think of. I was mocking more the last episode doing its damndest to make me emotional. And the things you mentioned also contribute to that "feel" of the show, which it admittedly does well. Now if it had the storyboard script to back it up. Isn't feelz more relevant to the viewer's emotions? Like how people cry over Clannad and give it 10/10 just for that. Atmosphere does contribute to the feeling but "feelz" itself is a different factor. This show doesn't really give me any of that but it does the other factors well. |
| I liked Tokyo Ghoul and Akame ga Kill more. |
| Lol no. It had great production values & potential but the weak characterization(besides Shibazaki's) and Lisa & Five being nothing more than plot devices (poor ones at that) really limited it. Overall, I just found it good -nothing more,nothing less- and gave it a 7/10. Zankyou no Terror isn't good enough objectively in order to be considered the best of summer but I don't think any were this season tbh. It is one of the best shows of the season though and WILL be many people's favorite. SolviteSekai said: No, its just the only grimdark anime that didnt get a mediocre adaptation.

DiviMike said: Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus would like to have a word with you :P it's sad really. black butler book of circus was one of the best shows this season but not many people watched it on mal which makes it an underappreciated show on this site |
mayukachan said: Yes, it is.Flashoftheback said: I considered Gekkan Shoujo is the best this season, don't be mad. yo is that an alluka avatar? |
| My favorite this season is Barakamon but I think the best anime this season was Zankyou no Terror. |

| Heck yeah, best anime I watched all day. It's even the best of all one summer series I've seen this year. |
 |
| For me best is Hanamonogatari. Second is this. But that's for me, people wright here about Barakamon, for me is nothing special. |
| 3 setps to become Masochist: 1. Read source material 2. Watch anime adaptation 3. Suffer Bonus Step: Tell everyone that anime is crap becouse Manga/Novel is better (duh..) How to find the worst trash anime ever, so bad that people should be ashamed for even knowing this trash exist: 1. Check your favorite anime 2. Enjoy your shit taste pleb Works everytime for everyone. |
| Currently it is, the only runner-up is Akame ga Kill for me, since it's the perfect contrast to Zankyou no Terror - one has an overabundance of comedy, the other of drama. However, both succeed almost flawlessly in their departments, so i'll see how AgK turns out. For now, Terror in Resonance is the best. Hard not to be with that end... |

Even if Shippuden isn't a 9 main reason would be because of fillers and shit. Either way it's a much better quality show than this. That's your opinion. In my opinion Shippuden is shit and doesn't compare to this. What is up with people complaining about no character development in a 11 episode anime? People don't just change that fast. |

| Character development is a buzzword used to make an argument sound intelligent, well thought out and well reasoned, as opposed to simply saying "it's shit" without giving any reason, a comment nobody will even read. Really... not having character development is not necessarily a bad thing. Around here, it's almost as meaningless as the word "pretentious". |

| From the shows I've watched it's pretty easily been the best. Akame Ga Kill doesn't know what it wants to be, Tokyo Ghoul is tropey and hardly something we've never seen before, Barakamon is fun but ultimately throwaway and Space Dandy is in a category of its own. |

I'm not arguing about my opinion on Shippuuden, you were the one who brought it up which is completely irrelevant to this topic. They are completely different animes and should not be compared whether its good or bad. I like it you don't simple as that. The only thing going for this anime was the art and concept, besides that it was average. Five was a shitty antagonist and Lisa shouldn't have been a character at all. Shibazaki and 9 were decent, but i just fail to see how this can be 1 point away from a masterpiece to you. It wasn't horrible, but its a very forgettable anime. I'm not going to be looking back on this anime a couple months from now thinking fondly about it or wanting to rewatch it, nor would i strongly recommend this to anyone over other anime. It simply doesn't have that good of a redeeming quality in any area to do that. Anything over a 7 is just overrated, plain and simple |

This show is a 9/10 for you? People like you are why MAL ratings are so inaccurately high you may not understand how one would rate this show a 9, but i don't see how one would rate Naruto: Shippuuden over a 3 or 4 (i'm being generous). you're also contradicting your own mindset in the same post by claiming ZnT is overrated/calling out the opinions of others while also defending your own opinion with "I like it you don't simple as that." |

I didnt delete anything one of the mods must have wtf. I had no reason to since ive been arguing that point all thread. But whatever you have a point, people have different opinions i guess. But at least my criticisms of this show were reasonable. with you theres no point arguing with as i can obviously see you're just trying to biasly bait me by saying its a 3 if you're being generous. You're obviously one of those people who hate shows because they're popular more than any other good reason. EDIT: The guy who i quoted that gave the 9/10s post is gone too. Must be why my post was deleted |

| Yes..apart from haikyuu!! which was a spring left over so i would not count that as a summer season anime.. but well yeah most enjoyed was ZnT |
 |
| TL:DR This show has cowboy bebop guy's name on it and has "mature themes". Instant AOTS for MAL. |

SolviteSekai said: I got a good laugh out of that though since people couldn't circle jerk to why episode x didn't capture panel y 100% perfectly. I saw people shitting on HxH's last ep for using music in a "silent panel." Like what, manga is always silent how in the hell...Rance-sama said: It's an original anime tho. yeah i was more just saying all the other grimdark summer anime ended up being mediocre adaptations. @ OP - I disagree due to reasons I just posted in episode 11's discussion. Production wise I'd agree though. |

I believe its a solid 8.5 which rounds to a 9. You have no right to call something overrated. I could just as easily get on you for giving Shippuden a 9 but I'm not, because ratings are subjective, simple as that. Not everyone feels the same way towards an anime as you do. Get over it. |

This is my major gripe with the show that might end up bringing the score from 9 to an 8 at some point. Five literally served no purpose other than hinting at 12 and 9's death. Her motives were not explained. She was just.. there. However as typical as they may be I rather enjoyed Shizbaki, 9, 12, and Lisa's character. You could at least see some change to 9 at the end. |

| Nah, not as good as I expected it to be. |
| I haven't watched all the anime series of this Summer. But I'm sure Zankyou no Terror was the series with more potential. Too bad they wasted it. |
| Could have been. [spoiler] But the death of the villain (five) was so cliché.... Kinda ruined the show for me. |
 |
| Yes. It was the perfect mix of dark, edgy, and deep symbelisem. 10/10 would cut myself to again. (this was at best an extremely mediocre anime. stop overhyping it.) |
| My opinions have changed since I made this thread I watched barakamon and that has imo been the best show this summer but i still love this show just wish five was not in it ;/ |
| Well it certainly is the one with the most interesting premise of the season but unfortunately, it suffered from poor execution in the 2nd half. I still enjoyed it to an extent though. |

I think it should have been like Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 where it had a focus on plot and characters so it wasn't just leaning on better plot over weak character development. |

I agree with you because when I look back at it there a lot of characters with little to no development but I was still entertained just because I enjoyed this tho doesn't mean I want point out it's flaws because it has several. |
