8.8 ?? The score is too high

I like this show, but it is not even close to being best anime this year or even this season. Vinland Saga is way better.

Yakusoku no Neverland, Dororo, Attacck on titan, Jojo part 5 are also better


People started to overrated this anime after episode 19. The score jumped from 8.5 to 8.8

It's only natural that an anime gets attention and changes the opinion of viewers a lot with an outstanding episode like that

And it's not like it has only happened to KnY

Same thing happened to SnK, Mob Psycho, Kanata no Astra, Given this year too
And there are probably others

For me it's the worst one I've seen this year. Until around episode 10, it was the best (I had it rated a 9, even, I loved it). But after Zenitsu showed up and brought that awful comedy with him, I've been lowering and lowering the rating. I have it at 4 now, and I'm not lowering it more solely because of the animation.

I think the best anime of the year will be the fourth season of My Hero Academia, which starts next month and will adapt the best arc of the manga. It will be epic. But until then, Dororo is the best so far for me.

Here we go again, the shittiest argument ever existed.

Not like care even a little bit about your opinion either, so...
Yeah judging fans like that is not a good thing. U r a fan of the show and it's good. People like to attack for these kind of things. It's not like it is Boku no pico. 8+ score: actually, it's a good thing that you are enjoying pretty much this medium, hmm more likely u choose carefully what to watch, I guess, my fellow hooman .

Nobody's judging anything. He simply overrates anime as fuck.
With 8.61 MS you pretty much rate everything 9-10. And that's bullshit.

No, it's not natural. A good anime has to be good as a whole, not expecting for a outstanding moment to be the only source of quality. Mob had its peak moment too, but the serie kept good before and after it, it's not like episode 5 had to happen in order to put the serie in the radar.

If a serie needs an outstanding moment to get attention and change the opinion of viewers instead of making it by itself as a whole, then the serie is not that good as expected.

As I told you, the case between snk, mob and 5th season of long name anime is different from kny because no one's episode touch the peak that kny's episode did but on the other hand these other series had multiple episodes in 90's %age. Of course kny has it's own other episodes in 80's %age which is a good thing as it shows that the show only don't lie on one episode but comparison with others don't seem precisely accurate.

For me it's still Dororo followed by The Promised Neverland, Bungou Stray Dogs S3 and Mob Psycho 100 S2 in that order. At least until I start watching other 2019 anime.


I agree with The Promise Neverland being one of the best animes of 2019. It really blew my mind. I would also throw Dr. Stone in this list.

Guess you only need hype to get high score. Same shit happened with new AoT pt 2.
Kimetsu itself is just your average shounen. It has some good moments but that's it. For the most part, it's as mediocre as it can be.

No chance at all for it to be AOTY in a year with Attack on Titan or Vinland Saga. Basically just any WIT show from now on.

I agree. KnY is littered with a number of episodes in the 60-70% range. To be the AoTY, there needs to be some sort of consistency in excellence.

I think if calculated like one guy did somewhere, the average percentage of kny will lie in between 70% to 74% for 5/5 votes. I guess it is a decent %age for 5/5 votes.

Due to the rates (currently rank #21) its at least one of the best Animes this year yet and even better as Vinland Saga in my opinion.

But tastes are different so I guess its not possible to make a general statement about it.

Because this year so many contender to be AoTY...

But I can sure, if this series have continuation in the future, will be the newest epic-popular shounen series in this recent year. After BnHA I think.

I REALLY like KnY, I really do. It's a beautiful anime. It might when prettiest anime of the year, but honestly, the last episode of Dr. Stone was more hype for me than all of KnY so far.

Kanata no Astra was the most original feeling of 2019 for me and had the most consistency of all the story lines. It's my personal pick, but who the hell am I?

Two remakes, Dororo and Fruits Basket were brilliant to watch, maybe them?

I think Yaiba will be praised as it should be, but with big dog sequels still yet to come in the fall season, I don't really think it has a shot for AOTY.

I read the manga and the plot is always pretty by-the-numbers, it never changes.

No wonder the sales were just average before the anime.

What made this season a success and what can make the next seasons a success is Ufotable, not the plot.

The studio managed to turn a weak asspulled fight into one of the most visually beautiful scenes of the year.

With this kind of treatment even Fairy Tail would be called AOTY.

Even if that is not my favourite genre of anime i think Attack on Titan was really good

Demon Slayer started really strong,, But then the humour or should i say screaming and crying started!! The main trio kill this anime for me ,, Together i cant stand them they piss me off constantly!

So before that started i have this anime on 7/10 but gave it 5/10

If you like more details read my review ,,,But no Demon slayer isnt even close to be anime of the year for me ,,,

animation alone is not enough but the story still is just average if the story was bad it wouldn’t blow up like it did but the story is fine and a fun one but nothing great and what really made it blow up was the production not just animation it was also the music and the art but overall the story is kind of average

I'm just too lazy to add drops/bads to my list. Or just to update that list regularly.
Unless something is laughably bad, like Shield Hero, I don't bother.
But, yeah, you're right. Some of these scores should be (way) lower. It's just that everything below 7 is considered bad here. Smh.

ajin,The immortal beings known as Ajin first appeared in Africa 17 years ago. Afraid of what these superior humans could do, Ajin were cordoned off from society, arrested, and taken away by the government whenever they were found. Yet these events are far from Kei Nagai’s mind. The stoic high school student only wants to succeed in life, and ignores everything that doesn’t help him with his goal. But when Kei gets hit by a truck one day, he discovers that he himself is an Ajin! On the run from everyone he knew and the government, Kei must find a new future to work toward…

From the beginning, Ajin is a series that embraces the darkest parts of humanity, particularly through the eyes of its villains. Kei starts out as an unlikeable main character, growing to understand where his own morals fall throughout the course of the series. Ajin takes unexpected turns to address themes and tropes in a way not seen in many other anime. Its focus on the common “man or monster” idea is given new light through the unique Ajin beings, especially later on in the series. And even though the CG animation puts some viewers off, by the end of the anime it is a welcome sight!

I have an anime review page in Greece and recently I made a poll about anime of the year 2020 and Demon Slayer won. It didn't only win, but I had a huge difference (22% Demon Slayer and 9% The Promised Neverland).

Why do you think this happened? I also like the series, but I didn't find it that exciting for it to win with such a huge difference and there were also some good seireis ongoing in 2019.

Is it overhyped? Overated? Did it offer something that was just missing from our community? What do you think?
