What's going on with the score?

Apricck said:
I've never seen an episode of Nanatsu in my life, which you can probably guess from my anime list, I'm genuinely curious to know why the score has dropped this badly on this new season though, the other season consistently averaged around 8.20, dropping from that to this is pretty bad.

I don't know what are you talking about, a score of 6.78 ain't bad by any means. It's above 6.5 therefore means it was good a show, for most users who rated it. What? Did you expected this to reach 9.00 or what? Cause it's too bad of a show to reach that score anyways.

Nanatsu no Taizai is very close to my heart. However, kamigami no gekirin so far just hasn't been quite as good as imashime no fukkatsu. I'm not a manga reader, so it might also have to do with the source material, but the quality of the animation has also drastically decreased from the previous season. (As an interjection, I was never that bothered by the change of the studio in OPM S2). The studio changed from A1 to Deen which mostly explains the change in this regard.

A few subjective opinions without explanations:
- The first episode was a bit stale and didn't really build much tension.
- Opening was mediocre, visually weakish, audibly a bit better. Had higher expectations from Uverworld, especially for this show. The previous ones have been great.
- Ending was actually great 4/5
- The second episode... somehow still lacked the passion, especially with the art. There's no way around it.
- New tracks of the OST were great, as expected from Sawano

6.78 is pretty darn low imo, too. Is it a deserved rating? Well, I wouldn't rate this series higher than 8 atm even with a bit biased vote(while my average rating in MAL is around 8,5 and at least 9 for the earlier seasons of this)

It is extremely underrated

I think people hated 1st epsiode because it was mostly filler and had cesnorship (white blood), but this was fixed in 2nd episode with red blood again.

I don't see big difference between this season and previous season. The score should be same or slightly lower at most. It seems some blind haters are just giving it 1/10 because of few things they did not like in 1st episode

People are still taking ratings seriously lol

It is pretty bad by MAL standards, most people here don't use a score below 5 so 6.78 isn't great.

To be honest, I've always felt the show is overrated. If anything, the current rating is a bit high imo. Everything is average at best with nothing really driving it, aside from the usual shounen/action genre that appeals to a large audience.

Here are a few problems:
1. Animation has always been a 4-6 at best.
2. In the 3 seasons we've seen (around 55 eps+), I'm yet to find any character development.
3. Characters are a little on the dull side; by no means boring but they are cliche and so one-dimensional
3. Music; they have a few good soundtracks, but they're so over staurated and the rest are bad
4. It has *many* problems the power levels, too many to even broadly explain, but for example, Meliodas, Diane and Ban struggle against Guila (whose power level is 400, whilst there's is a total of 9000+) - and don't say they were going easy, if they were, that's just shit writing.
5. Story writing isn't anything particularly amazing.

Why do you watch it if it suck so bad? Is it just so you can come to the forums and act like a superior dickhead?

So many douchebags for just one thread.

Scores don't mean much since the day Demon Slayer got almost a 9/10.

It wasn't fixed. There was still white blood in the end lol

It is a Shame A1-Pictures couldn't keep this show since it was Probably one of the only anime I liked from that studio.

Re_Steiner said:
I really liked season 1 and 2, gave both of them a 9, but the first episode of this season really disappointed me. I had no idea about the studio change until after I watched the first episode and had to google why the show seemed so visually similar but off in all other aspects. The pacing was off, there was pointless filler inserted and most of all the censorship annoyed me (Really? White blood? Did the studio think this show was for children or something?). So i gave it a 5 and decided to drop it until the season was over and a uncensored version comes out.

What's this supposed to mean? Kimetsu no Yaiba is a great show. It's the best show I watched since Fullmetal Alchemist

"People hate anime because they censor blood".
It's the biggest stupidity I read, typical of a person who refuses to accept an opinion because they say ugly things about their favorite anime.

The drawings are ugly, the redesigns of the characters are square, in scenes like "the gathering of capital sins" you can see that sometimes OST is missing, the jokes are poorly told, the fights have very ugly frame breaks, in the last episode It is seen that King changed clothes from one scene to another ...

And let's not mention the plot errors, how is it possible for Diana to escape from zeldris? His commandment makes it impossible for you to turn your back.
That is just one of the many mistakes you have.

And in the final sequence of the opening, the sacred treasure of escanor is poorly drawn.

Terrible...

A lot of people just blame the studio, even though the manga is also shit. The author just dragged everything without any foreshadowing, just put another problem to make a profit. Just look at the discussion of the newest chapter in manga.

Also, it already goes down when the manga decided to make 'war arcs'. It's the most incosistent war arc I have evee seen and of course the most horrible. The last good thing about this series is where Diane and King went to the past, after that, it's shit.

I've waited 12 episodes. and finally dropped it. They ruined it.that's one of the worst adaptaions ever.
The manga is way better, go read it folks.

Hatsuyuki said:


No it's not, it is generally acknowledged that the final arc is trash and basically everyone wants the manga to end already. If you think the manga is any better you're delusional, there is nothing of value left in Nanatsu anymore.
