| Does it really matter? It's not like it dropped to a 6. |
 |
| How terrible, the UN should raise the alarms for this |
| Perhaps write a note to your future self that you are worrying too much about a couple of numbers that have nothing to do with the anime released in japan. The folks over there don't even care about MAL in the first place. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| because no action obviously = filler trash duh. but really idk. I mean yah we had whatever ep 15 was, and 13 I believe was kinda slow tbh, but the recent eps have been pretty good so who knows I'd say wait till the end to judge the score |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Because it has been bad since second cour started, Ep 16 had a lot of plot holes and the latest stories has been dull or uninteresting. Ep 17 on the other hand, went back to the good stuff. And it seems it will continue that way (Hopefully) so, the score will probably increase by then |

| The score has been declining since we entered the second cour, so it is certainly not because of 1 bad episode. 8.52 is still pretty damn high by the way. |
 |
| For me the problem is how Mappa fcked the story because they wanted to create a false moral dilemma and to make Tahomaru and Daigo to not be pure evil. |
| Most people don't score until the series is finished anyways, myself included. So just wait until it's completely finished to make these bait threads. But regardless, the show is alright, nothing fantastic but it's pretty good. I'd say it deserves a 7-8 range atm. But, still a good amount of episodes to come. So we'll see. |

| An 8,5 is low? It's a great score |
| For a non-sequel, non hype show based on an old manga, 8.5 is an absolutely terrific score. |

| The score has lowered because a lot of people dropped it, and people don't tend to give high scores to shows they've dropped. Besides, its descending score is nowhere near the worst I've seen on MAL so it's nothing to really worry about, but I understand your curiosity. |
| Simply because it is trash |
 |
| 8.5.... low? what are you on? With an average like 8.5, you would think it was a masterpiece. |
The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| I lost my interest at episode 7 but i just checked ep 17 and the story has developed quite a bit and i liked it! Time to pick it up again. Which were the filler episodes? Since some here are mentioning fillers.. |
 |
| I personally don't think it was only because of the animation on episode 15. This whole 2nd arc have been inferior of what we were used to in terms of storytelling |
 |
| 8.52 is pretty damn good so I don't see why you are panicking. Some seasonal shows I like are mid 6 or low 6 like RoboHachi, but you don't see me getting all up in arms and creating threads. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Bruh this things got an 8.52 lmao |
| How is that low? 2nd cour has been disappointing, either way. |
| An 8 is very good. Plus I wouldn't worry to much about scores anyways. |
ロード中です...  |
| Well, some people change their score of a show as it goes on. I, for example, started watching Dororo and rated it an 8 and later changed it to a 7. As the second cour moved along, I realized it wasn't really an 8 anymore for me, and it most likely will stay at a 7 by the end in my list, because, to me, although the story and characters are pretty damn great, the directing, animation and art consistency aren't quite as good. |

| Personally my score dropped from 10 to 9 because of the second court The first court is a pure masterpiece, but I was very very disappointed by the second court (and not only the episode 15) Fortunately the last 2 episodes were as good as the ones in the first court, so I hope the show will keep re-increasing in quality If it weren't for episodes 13-16, I would definitively give Dororo a solid 10 |
| 8.50 is a REALLY good score still. I don't see any reason to question the score going down slightly. It's the same for Mob Psycho S2. |

| I don't see low scores. This show which feels average only (7 for me and I'd expected a score around 7.8 on MAL) is constantly keeping itself in he overrated/high area around 8.5. While other anime which are much better maintain only barely around 7.8. So no ... Dororo never had a low score. |
BenuAL said: It was up to 8.50 by episode 5 already. 8.60 by episode 7. Since then however it's pretty much only been dropping, slowly but surely. Courtesy of the MSP club:The score rised to 8,50, nani bruh? Dororo: Week 01 - 8.26 Week 02 - 8.35 (+0.09) Week 03 - 8.42 (+0.07) Week 04 - 8.46 (+0.04) Week 05 - 8.50 (+0.04) Week 06 - 8.58 (+0.08) Week 07 - 8.60 (+0.02) Week 08 - 8.59 (-0.01) Week 09 - 8.59 Week 10 - 8.59 Week 11 - 8.59 Week 12 - 8.60 (+0.01) Week 13 - 8.58 (-0.02) Week 14 - 8.58 Week 15 - 8.55 (-0.03) Week 16 - 8.53 (-0.02) Week 17 - 8.52 (-0.01) Week 18 - 8.51 (-0.01) Week 19 - 8.50 (-0.01) As for why, well in my opinion there have just been too many episodes by now that end up feeling pretty filler-esque and don't really contribute much to the overall story. I honestly don't think Dororo needed to be a 2-cour considering the original manga is merely 4 volumes long. As a result it's gotten kinda dragged out by now |
  |
| Yeah I've slightly dropped the score just because the filler-esque episodes. I still like the show but it is dragging on. |
| MAL isn't the best place to rely on ratings. Remember garbage like Kenja no Mago has a rating of 7.34 when it shouldn't be higher than a 5. |
| 臭い- |
RoganDeBoss said: They are not fillers, but the story is told in such a manner that the point of those sections is entirely lost and is more filler monster of the week.ArcturusMi said: Well the budha face and those other demons are also from the manga so i don't think you can say that those are all fillers.up to the Wall of Banmon the story is amazing, after that it's just uninteresting filler and boring fights (or worse, moth demon episode with its terrible art and animation), it takes episode 20 to set the gear back on motion. |
| . First ep was ok, bcos idk what was going on so i kinda got hooked. From then it just got dumber, especially that one ep where a girl who is a prostitute dies n shit, it just gets painfully cliche and melodramatic. The directing is horrendous also, especially the pacing and screenplay. I kinda dropped it very early so my guess is they didn't improve anything henceforth, which makes it end up with a lower score. |

| I called it, like Mushishi but this is bad and boring series. Its overrated. |
 |
| Because it isn't like jojo where every single episode has a battle. |
Epicgamerxd said: As a general rule no. As Machiavelli said: path to hell is paved with good intentions. That being said there are extreme cases where it can work provided you can resist the corruption of power. For instance the benevolent dictator image. But for this to work: 1. the person had to have a strong will not to be corrupted 2. has to give up his position once the main issue is solved. I think this only happened only once or twice in the whole history of human kind. aphton said: I am dropping my score by -2... I had hope that perhaps there would be a twist towards the end regarding the motivation of the antagonists, the "bad" side. There was not. Basically, usually when you watch a "good vs bad" type of anime where you know that the "good" side is right, for obvious reason, the "bad" side is designed so that you CAN actually understand it and find yourself therefore in a dilemma. This is a good "bad" or "evil" plot. The antagonists need to have a good reason for their acts. I think this is where the mangaka messed up. He made it too one dimensional. The main reason the antagonists were doing what they did on Hyak's cost was because of & for the benefit of the many. Which is no good reason at all and this is not someone speaking from an idealistic perspective! And protecting any critique against the motivation of the antagonists is made to look like being naive and not being able "to do what it takes" so to speak, by the verbal reasoning of the characters in the anime itself, basically, the mangaka defending his weak plot for the antagonists. Its a really bad job. Either the mangaka is lacking in creativity or they were lazy. I had high hopes. The plot was basically really intriguing and interesting and had potential to be a masterpiece. Buts its a flop because the antagonists continued to stay poop throughout the entire series. This is my reason. Do what you want with it. So youre saying the concept of 'greater good' is by no means a justifiable motivation? About this case there is no greater good. Similar to the final stage of mayan and aztec civilizations this type of temporary solution does not work. Even if the demons would guarantee the land will produce rich harvest it does not mean the civilization will survive or that the greater good is accomplished. Quite the opposite. As we can see they sacrifice a lot of humans to the demons and most people still are starving so the death rate is extremely high. So in 20 years Daigo land will have too few people to matter anyway. Also it is clear that thanks to the deal the military strength of the nation is greatly reduced. While the samurai , daimyo and so on are the most important soldiers in that time of history you generally could not do much without a lot of low level soldiers recruited from the very same peasants Daigo's people were oppressing. But those peasants would not want to fight for you so other people will come and conquer you: see Asakura. In a word Daigo will lose the numbers game. So there was no chance for Daigo's plan to succeed or accomplish the greater good. As Dororo said before turning to bs about how money solves everything the peasants do not have to depend on the samurai. Tools used for farming can be turned to weapons. And individual villages can defend themselves by building walls, moats, etc. They can use boiled water/ oil to deter assailants, arrows and so on. While this cannot defend from a major attack force, it can defend from brigands and small armed forces. |
