| Let me preface this by saying that the scores we see now (when we're only two/three episodes in) generally don't reflect the show's entirety, and for a two-cour series, there's more than enough time to sway the hate/love for this show form where it stands now. As for why it's scoring low now though, I can venture a few guesses; -- The show, visually, looks like it was pulled from 2006. I'm half-joking of course when I say that. -- Some of the dialogue came off as pretentious babble, which would be fine, if it weren't coming from middle schoolers. -- The main characters, as previously mentioned by a lot of people already, are disinteresting (to say the least). -- Lastly, the episodes that've come out so far have been a slow slow burn. |

| new gen watchers can't comprehend this slow paced development. If it's not fan service every scene they'll say its bad and not worth watching |
 |
| I was kinda surprised when I went to MAL after watching ep1 to check. Personally, I think the anime is interesting right from the episode 1. My friend complained about the characters talking too much and the pace was just too slow, but I myself felt hooked up already (even I felt bored at the beginning of Steins;Gate). I would give Sakurada a solid 8/10 after my first 2 episode. I hope the score will not drop in the future. Some people might feel the kiss scene is not necessary, the main(s) are just so emotionless, the conversation is one-toned, wt* with killing off (seem like) important character right at the end of ep2, etc... That's why they gave SR such a low score. Well to me I kinda like the odd story, and looking forward for more "odd". |

| Instead of relying on the MAL ratings alone, you should try checking out the Stats tab of the entries of which you'd like people's opinions. This is the rating distribution of this anime's scores:  In the above, you can see that most people rated it with 7, which means there are more people who scored it with 7 than those who scored it otherwise. The two runners-up almost tie with each other scoring either 6 or 8. I hope you get the general idea right from here. |

Sukeroku said: I agree with you guys. The anime isn't any masterpiece. I just think that it doesn't deserve to be lower then a few animes that are the scum of the world I can see what you mean, and to an extent I sympathize - I did drop this show, but I still feel it was prolly better than something like Fuuka. Though, the reason this show has such a low score is prolly that it lacks an audience. Shows like Fuuka, despite being arguably bad, manage to reach decent scores because, for all their flaws, they manage to hook a certain fanbase which might be insensitive to those specific flaws (not because this fanbase is dumb but because it simply cares about different things). But Sakurada Reset sounds like the kind of show which you would expect to produce interesting characterization etc., and it fell flat on that respect. It's not that SR has more or less flaws than Fuuka, but the flaws of SR are flaws that annoy exactly those kind of people who could enjoy a show like SR. At least, this seems to me the most plausible explanation. SimplyKairi said: new gen watchers can't comprehend this slow paced development. If it's not fan service every scene they'll say its bad and not worth watching Uhhhh no. I for one have watched shows with remarkably slow paced development, such as Haibane Renmei or Shinsekai Yori, and have enjoyed them significantly. But there is a marked difference between "slow paced development" and "unbelievable or unrealistic characters". While those two shows take their time building up the setting and the plot, they give us chars which, from the get-go, act and feel like normal people. This is what causes the audience to stay and get hooked - because they begin seeing those people as real people and thus start caring for them. But if the MCs feel like robots, I could not care less about what happens to them, slow or fast paced or w/e. The appalling thing is that, to make realistic or fresh chars, you don't even need that much airing time, as you may need to set up a deep plot. Even a few lines of dialogue, if properly delivered, can be sufficient to make a char feel real. But dialogue and delivery is exactly where this show fails the most. I really suggest you to either re-watch ep. 1 of Sakurada Reset or go watch other supposedly "slow" anime with much better MAL scores (Shinsekai Yori, for example, has way over 8, and Haibane Renmei has around 8 iirc) I do not intend to rule out the possibility that some ppl may be turned off simply because of the reasons you pointed out. But if you think everybody who can't appreciate this show just can't understand "slow paced shows", you're kidding yourself. |

Sukeroku said: The score is lower than fuuka(If you had watched fuuka you know what this means), do you really think that these 2 episodes were so bad? I can't understand the hate I get it. Fuuka is bad. Terrible even. I agree that it should mean a lot for a show to be below Fuuka because as far as I'm concerned only the select terrible few should be bad enough to be below it. ...This is one of those select terrible few. The only positive thing I could say about this show is the mystery in the 3rd episode finally introduced something interesting to it. However that's it. The characters are dull and lifeless in every way, and have more in common with a book on philosophy than they do with actually people. The powers make little sense and are shoved into the narrative to fit whatever the show needs at the moment, and the show seems to like to add unnecessary confalusion to the characters. It's a mess. And not a good one. Fuuka was terrible but there were times and moments that it felt like it was on the right track. And it had guts. It may have ended up as cliche as ever but it had the guts to do what was right. |
Sukeroku said: smartie344 said: I kinda don't get why people score after the first few episodes? Like, what's the point? I would wait until almost halfway in. Yes! If the anime will get 12/22/24/25 episodes, why people don't wait? lol In my case, Its to have an indicator what I thought of the previous episode. But I don't do that anymore I usually wait til episode 3 at minimum. |

| Best anime of the season aside from Re:Creators for me. Plot is amazing above average and the main characters are great they are emotionless yes but that is good it goes into develop who they are as people. I find it weird its got a low rating i would give it an 8 myself. |

| Watched all eps so far (5). Basically the characters are all acting way too mature for their age. And the picture gets even worse when you realise that they are just middle-schoolers at the first few eps. The MC keeps deducting the personality of everyone else after five minutes of dialogue every episode. There is still no explanation as to how they know what Haruki's ability is, but it will probably be just "yeah, there is this guy whose ability is telling other people's abilities". The only good thing that the show has for itself comes if you ignore that almost every character is a high-schooler. Then the characters actually fit and you have a sarcastic and cruel MC playing the good-guy. Candy-girl ep was an improvement, but it did other stuff wrong. Ep 4 was just ridiculous. Probably worse than the first two, but my body built up resistance to the bullshit. ^^ So yeah, you could say that low score is well-deserved so far. |
| There are always people who get bored easily. |
| This is a deep anime about purity and being stuck in marbles. Should be 10/10. Absolute masterpiece. |

I find it weird its got a low rating i would give it an 8 myself. I can definitely relate with you, I too find the plot to be very good. The show has been making me think of so many different scenarios; how each power can affect things in this world. Definitely thought provoking. I am really enjoy the personality's of the 2 MC's and how it is slightly evolving as things move along. I do not understand people saying it is unrealistic when the world of this anime is merely a fantasy world. I am quite surprised it has received a low score myself. We will see how things go as the series progresses. |

| It's still early, It's a fairly good show. It's enjoyable, but it misses the spark/the action. It'll get it in the later episodes trust me. gets a mid-low 6/10 (I don't give a lot of anime a 7+) |

| After 5 episodes I can say that those people are not wrong, this seems going nowhere... |
 |
| Becuase it is: 1. Slow as hell. 2. Boring as hell. 3. Poorly written. The show has the most annoying charatcers in the world, who spew thier life story at the drop of a hat and have to momologue about every single detail at every single opportunity they have. Okada should not be getting any mor work untill she learns how humans act and interact. |
 |
| The anime is not slow at all. THere is a lot of stuff happening per episode. I don't see how it is slow. Stien Gate was slower and barely anything happened in the 1st half if I remember correctly The show feels like Charlotte but has more serious characters. And I like both of those shows. And this show is rated so low. I mean even boring garbage like Seikaisuru Kado is rated higher !! |

| Lower than Fuuka? What the heck? That anime deserves a rating lower than 4. |

I'm sorry, it's impossible, her powers are nonsense and remember, she was the first person with powers we met. This IS an interesting point and question. If Haruki doesn't even remember her using ability, how did she know she had one? Maybe there's someone told her about her ability? We have to wait (the anime still has a looong way to go), maybe it will be answered, maybe not (if not I will be very disappointed). |

Rei366 said: Because the first two episodes are merely a prologue before the intrigue starts out. (for myself: because the illogicaly chained dialogues reminded me of Zeta Gundam) how did this remaind you of zeta? all the characters in that show overeact everything and have this crazy mood swings all the time that is really the opposite if the lifeless robots we have in this series |

I don't mind fanservice if it's not forced into every scene. Balance is a fundamental thing in every aspect of the series. But yes I agree, new generation aka 2000+ generation is somehow not able to enjoy slow series with lost of dialogues / monologues or just slice of life series. I would say (paraphrasing you), If it's not action in every scene they'll say its bad and not worth watching. Basically it applies to normalfags as well. |

So I was right, part 3 of first arc came out, and turn out there IS some method to know one's ability. And sometimes the Bureau will go and tell that someone about their ability. |

DatRandomDude said: Directing, characters, their interactions and the overall anime are just so lifeless its sucking the life out of me everytime i watched it so far. That's quite funny, it's one of the only anime which I ever felt alive watching it. The reason is that everything is literally explained within the show and we discover that the characters actually are very emotional. It's cleverly subtle and, as a result, the characters seem very human. But I understand the low score this series has. You really need to be into complex and slow show in order to enjoy this. |
