The ratings are down from 7.84 to 7.80, what's going on about it? (I know that show (even Gundam franchise) isn't popular in MAL but I'm curious)

Cause the show isnt particularly consistent and has a few drops in quality mainly in the 2nd half. It'll probably stay that score when the show finishes airing which will actually be pretty high by tv gundam series on here

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Considering how MAL and Western fans usually react to Gundam nowadays it might as well be a couple points higher. Mostly just used to always hearing about how fundamentally flawed to the core every Gundam show is and them having lower viewerships as well as low scores. I seriously just think Sunrise should give up on trying to make Gundam popular in North America since people simply aren't the slightest bit interested. Just focus on Japan, South East Asia and maybe some parts of South America and Europe and I'm sure it'll go a lot better.

Gundam is already popular in Japan anyway, but other regions than North America is good idea, though.

This series is getting decent recognition in the west though. its just heavily overshadowed by whatever top series that is airing every season. It doesn't help that sunrise is fucking bad at commercializing their products beyond japan. besides Gunpla is slowly creeping up in regular stores again, its showing there is consumer base for gundam here.

That's cause they don't. It took cramming a whole bunch of overhyped staffers into a clusterfuck like Aldnoah/Zero to even get people to put their major biases against mecha aside for a second to even give a show a chance and now they have even more generalizations that they are all like that one.

Realistically though IBO seems like the first one since 00 that could really serve as a gateway, particularly because they picked a director/writer duo that is relevant and that deal with the sort of subject matter in other shows that is popular these days.

I'd say they've gotten slightly better but are still absolutely dreadful at it. They have all the resources they'd ever need to show people what it's actually like but prefer to put up barriers and do weird shit with their streaming like suddenly switch even the English subtitled version on youtube to Japan only. They seem to think it can market itself outside Japan and South East Asia which is definitely not the case when so many people are insanely biased against the mecha genre.

well Daisuki as streaming site is really good ( everything on that site is for free so I think people should start using it ) and the fact that its legal is even better :)

I think this rating (7.80) is fair for this series. I wouldn't mind it going up a bit but as things stand, it's not bad. I certaintly think that this is one of the best animes airing right now. Frankly, I'm enjoying it more than Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, which has 9.13 score.

Well there are always people who don't appreciate greatness. That GUNDAM is amazing, it is almost on PAR will 00. Some people just want action all the time. They don't appreciate the time this show gives for character development.

Gundam shows are never really rated very highly on MAL, I mean even something like Zeta is only barely above 8

The search function won't let me check but does anyone know what the highest rated Gundam show is on MAL?I think it's 08th MS Team with an 8.15 rating

It's gonna be Unicorn cause it's the most recent one with hype elements like Sawano to it. Also Zeta Gundam is over 30 years old. A hype driven community like MAL will barely have seen it let alone rate it highly cause dude where's my hype

Most Gundam's aren't that though so they're in the wrong genre/frame of mind. Better of with Aldnoah.Zero cliche as it is to say cause that's basically what that show is. Anyway if this show had been written by Urobuchi instead like was suspected before it aired it's viewership numbers and overall rating would probably be several times what they are now and at least a point higher respectively cause he's hype.

The show is not bad, but it is insanely overrated. Schwarzesmarken which is airing in this season is by far by more entertaining to watch despite the low score

Also, other Gundamn series like Gundam: The Origin and Thunderbolt are also much better (I have only watched one ep of thunderbolt but it is already better than any ep I;ve seen Iron blood orphan)

the rantings went down again ? seriously whats with the Gundam hate in MAL ? the episode hasn't even aired.


I don't see how gundamn is hated when this average anime is rated 7.8

Gundam: The Origin is rated 8.29 and it deserve this score unlike this anime.

The problem with rating is that this is a more mature show. Because of this people who will like it tend to be more honest with ratings. Not giving 9 or 10 to everything. Rating near 8 for this kind of show is not actually bad at all. It's not bad but nothing like top20 candidate.

The problem is younger fans who are more likely to rate everything 9-10. This makes the shows they like have higher averages even if like/dislike ratio is the same.

In addition (srry slight OOT), this Gundam Show (IBO) are unable to reach more than 50k users on myanimelist, not only MAL doesn't care very much about Gundam franchise, you know Gundam AGE (and Seed destiny) that ruined Gundam popularity on west?
