TurboAutist said: DuckDummy said: OreShura MAL sure is harsh on harem anime. At first glance, OreShura might be one of the many harem shows that we get by dozens per year, but what sets OreShura apart from them is its character development and humor that breaks most harem cliches. The male protag isn't dense; he's really just focused on studying at the moment because he wants to be a doctor so that he can cure the arm of his osananajimi (aka the harem girl that loses) so that she can participate in kendo again. Also, that ending was a knocker. He actually picked a girl at the end, and not in a rushed way! I admit I ignored this series back when it was airing because it was a harem, but you made me curious to check it out. I hope I didn't give out that much spoilers. |

| Gungrave. Although bogged down by its obvious flaws in the scifi/undead thing and people - especially the game fans - expecting it to be some other epic action/GARfest show, it's one of the few animes that can make you get into the characters' shoes and FEEL so much. I doubt I'd love it so much if it had been something like DMC. Digimon Adventure and Tamers need moar love too. Digimon ain't just for kids, especially Tamers! Hell, I actually appreciate Tamers much more when I'm older. |
 "Who wouldn't want to be like me? Handsome and free like a bird in a tree! Badaboom!" |
| Koi wa Ameagari no You ni of course it's not complete yet but these first three episodes totally proved it's not your typical high school romance with dere characters and cliché situations. |
 |
| 5cm per second Does it count? It has one of the best romance plot in my opinion. It has drama but not sappy, it delivers in melancholic way and somewhat realistic with that bittersweet ending. Visually endearing too |
| 1. Grimgar Loved the character drama and the different take on the isekai genre 2. Girlish Number I still have no idea why this is so lowly rated. Chitose's character is amazing and the show had this cynical lens and was always in touch with reality so that set it apart from most other shows. 3. Flip Flappers The creativity in the audio/ visual aspects of the show alone make this show worth that 8+ score 4. Kekkai Sensen This show p much nails every aspect of it right, except for storytelling. I can understand why it doesn't have a 8+ because of the messy storytelling but I feel like the show redeems itself with its other aspects. Plus that burger episode is easily one of my favourite standalone episodes ever. |
| Bananya is somehow at a 6.78 despite being objectively flawless. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Amanchu and Tari Tari - Both great slice of lifes with legit character development. They also manage to stay entertaining while still being relaxing at the same time. Senjou no Valkyria - One of the more under-appreciated shows out there. Great dark story built around a military conflict with maybe conficliting, but still a very good of characters. HoneyWorks franchise - The first movie is really underrated as it presents one of the better romance stories in only and hour. The second movie is worse, but Itsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 cm Datta was once again great. Then comedies like Blend S, New Game! and stuff like that, but their score is somewhat respectable. A lot of people will like them and a lot of people won't. |
Higurashi Gou is the worst anime in existence. |
| It would definitely be Shiki really only 7.9? Sure it is slow paced but it's better than a rushed mess, I like how it takes time and builds the world.You can get a mystery vibe from the first episode which is intriguing. It shows the side of traditional vampire myths and is quite different from the usual approach of vampires in animes like Rosario+ vampire, Blood-C and such. They explore both the sides and there motives you can hardly dismiss anyone.The decisions certain human beings take can put some people off, but that's what made me like Shiki even more. |
  |
| Kyousou Giga at 7.9 is a damn shame. I'd also say Akagi but it's sitting at exacly 8.00 at the time of writing this. |
| I personally think that... - Mikakunin de Shinkoukei should be rated higher. I absolutely loved the anime and the comedy and romance were well executed IMO. - Kyoukai no Kanata. I thought the whole anime was really impressive eventhough it was only 12 episodes long. The story, action sequences, etc were really good. - SukaSuka. The whole idea of the anime was really good. The soundtrack was absolutely beautiful. The story was absolutely creative and tragic. |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| Jormungand, Michiko to Hatchin, Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis, Binbougami Ga!, and Eden of The East which all just barely missed being an 8 on MAL. |
kajquo said: Isnt Grimgar the one where something about coming from other world is mentioned but its never actually explained or further developed? The another world setting is mostly for justifying why the mc group is so weak. If it's a pure fantasy, they wouldn't struggle this much really. Also I assume maybe the novel will explain the Amnesia of real world memory part later in the story. This is not nearly the full story, so I understand why many stuffs are not explained yet. |
Because in Mal 8 seems to be the actual gap between "average anime" to "good anime" Like nearly every average / meh shows all get a 7.xx anyway, so that's why I pick the number 8 . |
ScoobedooYaa said: -White Album 2 (Really mature take on romance) -Elfen Lied (Brilliant story , not scared to use nudity/gore moments) -Gakkougurashi! (Interesting take on zombie genre) -Hai to Gensou no Grimgar ( believable characters, One of best isekai anime) -Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World - The animated series (Character of kino, One of my fav SoL anime) -Re:Creators (Interesting story with nice action and epic Sawano OST) -Rokka no Yuusha (Good fantasy series with mystery elements) Really good titles. I'm really suprised these ones are not over 8 on mal. Sorry I have to promptly disagree about Kino no Tabi 2017 deserves higher.. This studio is clearly inexperience about how to manage a story with good pacing and conclusion. There're some good episodes thanks to the novel, but it feels flat because of how they present and how they organize the story. Many episodes try to make a point but seems to tell nothing in the end. I think it's totally reasonable that it gets a 7 cuz they really didn't do a good job if you judge the whole package. |

SilentBlaster said: Guilty Crown ofc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Charlotte Black Cat Tokyo Ravens Air Gear Bleach Deadman wonderland K project Rage of Bahamut Genesis Gangsta. Kinda agree with Guilty Crown too. The ending seems rushed, but both the twist and ending is not as bad as some train-wrack like Iron Fortress and Kado the Right Answer. The production value keeps consistently high, and it discuss some interesting perspective of human emotion too. |
| While there are several that I feel deserve a higher score than they got, probably the most drastically different ones for me would be these two: Girls und Panzer - Yeah, I'm probably a little biased toward this one considering I have it on my favorites. Still, it has lovable characters, its world-building is delivered seamlessly, it has a surprisingly good grasp of tactical action, its finale contains one of the more hype climactic fight scenes I've seen in anime, and the premise itself is just charmingly bizarre. Chronicles of the Going Home Club - On the surface it seems like a typical slice of life club affair, and a mediocre one at that. But not too far in it starts to carve an identity of its own as a self-aware, self-deprecating meta-comedy. The entirety of episode 4, for example, is filled with jabs at the show's own lack of popularity. It's most certainly not gonna be everyone's cup of tea, but I think it deserves more attention than it got. |
| mitchiko to hatchin the south american setting was immersive and realistic and the characters were developed and fleshed out well |
 |
| Grimgar was terrible. I'd say Paranoia Agent. |
| Your next line is "I was just pretending to be retarded". |
| Imouto Sae Ireba ii isn’t what most people think. Highly enjoyable and great development and it focuses on the author aspect of things when it comes to light novel creation. Low 8 would’ve been fine for me. |

Most of the reasons why I've seen people hate on it is because of the gary stu protagonist and harem fanservice. |

He's such a poorly written one dimensional character that exist for the sake of plot progression . Another thing being SAO tend to be insulting my intelligence every time I watch it too. |

I get it but still... I was waiting for it to be similar to Log Horizon where they actually try to find their way back home. Log Horizon got like 50 episodes... This one got like 12... Sigh, where's our 2nd season... |
SkyDrop said: I think Hai to grimgar deserved more imo because I felt the same character drama impact as I experience in MiA but not sure why their rating different is so massive.. (even though both anime ended the same manner!) I can even argue that character-development wise, Grimgar surpasses MiA by a landscape. The actual character development of MiA doesn't really happen in this arc, but rather in the upcoming 2nd season. But I can sort of understand why MiA is more popular and highly rated because the general story is paced better, and story progresses much faster, with a much better first episode too. Characters are less realistic and more likable in first impression too, which appeal to wider audience. |
Ventus_SJan 28, 2018 3:33 PM
| It's the other way around; most anime deserve a 5 or lower, but tend to be at 7 or 8 |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I think: Lovelive Jintai Oreimo (s1) Demichan Working!! TARI TARI should be at around 8, for how good they are. I expect some more playful anime, like Nyaruko and Twintail, should have higher score too. Also food commercial anime (e.g. Dagashi Kashi) and Moe anime (e.g. the munmy show this season) should have higher score too. |
