I keep wanting to watch it, but am being put off by these other fans of the show who’re saying that the people who rate it low/ don’t like it and can’t follow along to the plot so well, are basically idiots, or at least it seems like that what they’re trying to imply
LOL I understand. I think you should give it a shot then it's done airing. It's honestly kinda bad if you watch it weekly since it's so plot-heavy.

I wholeheartedly agree, the huge number of people complaining about the "gay vibes" on every anime watching site has me extremely annoyed. I personally don't see anything gay going on (blushing/flushed face is a normal human reaction to being excited/happy), but if people have that much of a problem for merely gay vibes, they should just drop it.
And the characters are'nt ugly, they just look more humanlike than today's anime does. I guess people are just too used to pink hair and big bug eyes?
It comes off as lusty or desire when they blush at each other lol. And this is coming from a girl who usually watches/reads BL on a normal basis. It really doesn't suit this anime.

I watched only the first episode, then my opinion doesn't matter now. I agree that the soundtrack and especially the artstyle are great, but the first episode seemed worst than Plunderer to me, and I didn't like Plunderer. I'm afraid of seeing the other episodes, because the score is just getting down. I would like some opinions besides the first episode, is the show getting better or meh?

This anime is a bit gay, most of the characters are males. But it is good tbh.

I noticed that as time passes, regular anime viewers are less interested in thought-provoking anime compared to a decade or two ago. When faced with this kind of anime which requires more thinking, a lot of people don't bother thinking or they just don't get it and proceed to give it a low rating.

Imo, if you are interested in the premise of this anime, give it a go.


This might be the case. But i think people just don't like an anime with disturbing contents like these. I mean, I'm really frightened to see satoru's mother slit her own mouth in episode 1, if i were 11-14 years old i'd have nightmares about it.

Furthermore, the artstyle is not your usual anime bug eyes. So people aren't used to it i guess.

This is actually a supernatural, mystery anime so watching it weekly isn't a good idea. It'd only make you confused.

But i really disagree with you about plunderer... how is this worse than that anime? Plunderer is basically seven deadly sins ripoff, nothing original. This anime on the other hand, actually tried to make a thought provoking story. And not copy paste your regular anime tropes. It's actually better if you see it that way.


Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever!

Animes can be original and good, for me this one is only original. But, how I've said, my opinion doesn't matter now. Thanks for the tip, maybe I'll just watch it when it finishes airing.

Too many people tend to hate shows on Mal when it's not the same as other art styles sadly.
Ping Pong has a 8.6 I think and that artstyle is really different

one of my major problem with this show is how the "pets" just bow down to the syndicate for no apparent reason so far, they have no reason to follow the orders of the syndicate, at leas as have been shown so far heck they could destroy or control the syndicate in a a few weeks if they wanted to.

so the thought provoking part just falls trough as soon as you think about how the people just follows the syndicate because(that is really the only reason i can find for them to follow the syndicate so far), the fact it has a pretty heavy guy on guy vibe does the show no favors to.
the show had a lot of premise and the shows other parts is great but the fact the story just falls apart and the gay vibe would maybe be the reason, at least the first on is the reason i see the show as worse then bad, even if all it would take would have been a reason for the people to work for the syndicate, because now i just see it as why the hell are they doing it, the syndicate has nothing that could stop them from going rouge or completely destroy it if they wanted to, at least with what has been shown so far

It's Seinen Drama so obviously most of the shit is gonna fly over these children's heads. The rest of them don't have the patience to watch and enjoy character interactions without a screaming annoying MC and flashy action sequences.

The two first episodes are really good but then it drops off instantly with episode 3 and nothing's been making sense since then (inb4 too deep for you). Now mix that in with the forced drama and you have a proper trainwreck. And I watched it all in a single streak yesterday so it can't be the weekly rhythm throwing me off. The visuals aren't good either so there's nothing speaking for this show except for the music. I held on until episode 7 but it's just too much.

Maybe the reason is, that People who are willing to watch this show, are by default a bit more critical (meaning they give a show a lower score on average), than people who watch a show like Plunderer.

There is no story and this ep 7 was boring as fuck. We had a good thing with the ep 4 and 5 but the end of ep 6 was not good

I never said that Pet was a good show. It's just that i saw people above arguing about why the score is the same as Plunderer.

In my opinion when a more popular show has a lower score it's a bigger indication that the show is bad, than when a less popular show has a bad score.

Ikr? I have the same question. And sadly, the rating is getting lower & lower.
Maybe because some ppl cannot deal with the gay relationships/vibes? Or they just couldn't follow the plot? I mean, it's a bit confusing sometimes, but overall not that hard to understand.
Besides, isn't it common that you don't always get the answers to the questions you have within the same episode? Some ppl seem to lack the patience for waiting for a few more episodes to have their doubts removed.

Also, I saw quite a few comments somewhere else saying that the character designs are so ugly for them to follow the show or the execution is too poor, which I could hardly agree with. For me, the character designs are pretty fine. I'd say that there're some 'quality' faces rather than ugly character designs considering the limited budget this kind of show would get. Neither do I have any problems with the execution & presentation of the show.

Anyways, I think this show is quite amazing! And I'm so happy that it drew my attention by accident & I decided to give it a shot. I'm at ep#6 now and I love it especially from ep#4.
Hopefully, more ppl will keep watching till ep#6 before dropping the series or judging it too soon.


Yeah maybe there’s a little bit of homophobia on MAL because characters design are pretty normal compared to other anime which actually have unique art styles like devilman crybaby,ping pong. As far as not being able to understand, anime like Boogiepop(2019) was pretty confusing for a lot of people last year but it’s at 7.15, I guess there’s just not enough people watching for now. I hope by the time it ends it’s closer to 7.5-8 as long as they don’t fuk up


Yuri on Ice has an incredibly high score. I don't think homophobia is the issue.

It's hard to follow. I can see the kids who mainly watch shonen and isekai be overwhelmed by this.
It's a 7 for me so far. So a low 6 isn't that far.

YoI was popular enough that any lower score would have counter-balanced by the people giving it a 9 or 10. All things considered, its position is kinda low given how much it sold/was talked about.

Anyway, it's an anime based on an obscure manga, most characters are not particularly and traditionally attractive, the animation is whatever, the art-style is not traditionally pretty and the cast is a bunch of adult guys. These things alone are a turn off for the average anime watcher too busy watching Isekai and CGDCT. Add to this that the narration is often confusing and it's hard to keep track of things (The average anime watcher has problem keeping up with something like SSY).

The first few episodes are confusing unless you watch them twice or pay very close attention. I think the themes and characters are incredibly well developed. The concepts behind entering people's minds are very out there and will turn people off. I think it's very interesting and logically consistent.
