EarnestEarny said: Seems that when a show gets really hyped up, it tends to create a lot of tension between watchers. People start to formulate opinions such as 'overhyped' or 'lived up to the hype'. Would you say hype is good for a show, or does it just set your expectations too high and leave you disappointed when you experience it? For a sane person, hype is a good thing for a show. You can just watch a few hyped-up shows, and automatically recognize most characters on a site like danbooru, and understand most examples in anime discussions. Some people aren't sane, and somehow expect that if a show is hyped-up, it is somehow going to be perfect (as opposed to simply fun). Then they don't get what they expected, and go toxic. I hate them, and think that they should be banned from any entertainment-media related discussions, and only allowed to use databases to choose their entertainment. |
| Yes. Even if the viewers are disappointed by it in the end the show will still make money. |
MattKitsune96 said: If it's a good show like Cowboy Bebop then yes. If it's a bad or mediocre show like Sword Art Online then no. Cowboy Bebop isn't good. It's pure american-pandering. [/troll] |
| Hype can be good for a show in the sense that it gets a lot of people to watch it and this of course brings in money. But when something doesn't live up to the hype, people will often think that the show is worse than it actually is. A show can be good, but maybe not as good as people were expecting. This can lead to frustration amongst the viewers, because their expectations were not entirely fulfilled. And this is in my opinion damaging to a show/company in the long run. But what do I know, I'm just a kid.. ;) |

| It's not good when the show hasn't started yet. It's good when the show has started and progressed already. |
| Hype is generally good because it exposes people to the show. That said, a show that doesn't manage to appeal to all the people will get far harsher backlash than if it wasn't hyped. I bet that if SAO wasn't so popular people wouldn't react to it so... angrily? |

RLinksoul said: Hype is good for the people who get swept up in it. People who don't get caught in the hype aren't going to see the show as AMAZING, so they're going to be more aware of a show's shortcomings, which leads to "How dare you have an opinion different than mine!" from the fans. Hype raises expectations for those who haven't already seen the show, which can lead to disappointment or outright backlash if people don't get what they wanted out of it. Especially when it's a show that relies heavily on shock factor or emotional manipulation. If everyone's saying "You WILL cry! I don't care who you are!" you're much less likely to be blindsided by it, like the people who watched the show before it was hyped to the moon. Nailed it. |

DJAnime said: Unless it's a Madhouse show. They never release a 2nd season no matter how hyped the show is or how much it sells. NGNL and Overlord for example. Don't mind hype for shows when they are airing/aired. Just means a lot of people enjoy it, and it has a high chance of another season. And yeah , Overhype is bad for a show. At first I was interested to watch OPM but with all these fanboy screaming "OPM is the best anime ever!" I lost all my interest to watch it. |

| bad publicity isn't a thing |
| Hype is good sometimes, but if the show can't live up to the hype it could ruin the entire series unfortunately. |

| I agree with most points on why hype can be a bad thing. But I believe hype do more good than bad. Let's just stop and imagine how the industry would be if anime weren't hype up? The anime fanbase wouldn't be as big as what it's today, heck I probably wouldn't be on mal if it wasn't for snk hype. More new fans = more money the industry will make, and overall More discussion. Whether you're with the hype or not. At the end of the day hype is overall a good thing. Unless you prefer a boring/dull medium. Hype brings excitement, people love being excited. And if you don't like the series that's being hype up, then just simple discuss your opinion with other folks on the internet. It blows my mind how some people would prefer anime to not be hype up, just because it's their fault that they had a high expectation. Smh. A medium without hype is a dead medium. Also hype doesn't affect a show, it affect the person that watches it. Hype series makes a ton of cash and that is the real truth here. |

Of course there's gonna be series that won't live up to the hype but a lot of series are actually worth it in the end. Plus it's up to the person whether they wanna set their expectations higher or not because a bunch of people hyped x series on the internet. Hype has a lot of cons obviously (especially if you dislike said show) but it does have some pluses. |

| Hype is rather bad because it creates very high expectations to which an anime (or any other medium for that matter) generally cannot live up to. It helps an anime gain popularity though so it can help you find a lot of great anime, if they fit your interests. |
  |
| My take on hype is and will always be negative because there's no "hype" it's always overhyped and then the inevitable let down, I suppose I just have a rather radically extremist view on the subject. But overhyped shows just have a really bad track when it comes to meeting my expectations that were overblown to start with, due to the massive hype surronding said titles. It also goes without saying if you were to criticize such shows the backlash would be off the charts, setting even more people for the shores of disappointment, quite the vicious cycle. |

My recent experience is with one punch man, it got a lot of hype from manga readers before it was aired, but I set myself to not have a high expectation. And that's how I deal with hype series that I know nothing about. I can understand if it happens the first time, but if you keep making the hype get to you over and over, then it's obvious that person has not learn from their mistake. I can bet some people are going to be drawn in the snk season 2 hype, even though they didnt like the first season. And then they are going to repeat the same thing they said 3 years ago about the first season and how they had high expectation and was disappointed. How stuff like this keeps on happenig I dont know. |

If someone lets the popular opinion affect their enjoyment of a series then they can only blame themselves. Lol stuff like this happens because people watch series they know they won't enjoy. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's gonna be appealing to you. But sequels generally get less hate, unless it's really bad e.g. Psycho-Pass 2. |

And I think the reason is because the series is already established at this point. Its not "new" anymore so people already have a fairly good idea on what to expect from that series. |
| One thing for sure, hype is never a bad thing for a show. It helps a show build a popularity which is not a bad thing for a show. |

keragamming said: Yep that's true, sequel does get less hate. And I think the reason is because the series is already established at this point.

| Hype is good but it isn't exempted from the rule "Too much is bad". |
| sup |
| There should be a limit. Overhyping something can seriously backfire. |
Seiya0890 said: But its still disgusting from my point of view, and from the word's point of view, therefore its disgusting. Wise words. |
| I know from personal experience that it can be good, and it can be bad. If there's hype surrounding a series, it makes more people want to check it out; to see what all the fuss is about. But that hype can also backfire. If you have too high of expectations, then those moments may not live up to the hype. I feel that it's better to go into a show as blind as possible. So you don't get disappointed by moments everyone hypes too much. (I realize that may be impossible, with series like OPM taking over forums. LOL) |
 |
| It helps get the name around and somehow gets people to set high expectations for a show. |
 |
| Hype can be good to a degree. But there is a point where the hyper hurts more then it helps. I would put Sailor Moon Crystal in this subject. The remake was being hyped up a lot but because of the 2 - 3 delays that prevented the show to be released, the hype got stronger and stronger to a point where it will please some but disappoint many. Hype can easily be turned to Over-hype, spreading the word is fine but sometimes too many people do that for a show. When that happens fewer people will go in just for enjoyment and more will go in with a certain expectation. |

| Hype often times can kill a show. For example Madoka Magica was recommended to me by several who all said that it is not a typical magical girl show and a huge plot twist. Therefore I was waiting for this plot twist the whole time and was aware from the start of the show that it wouldn't be a typical magical girl show. So when the plot twist occurred I expected it and therefore did not enjoy it very much. |
