Originally, I saw it with a rating of 8.76, then 8.50 until it goes down to 8.45. Did something go wrong? I watched the first 3 episodes of S2 and I didn't see any problems with the plot. This is just my low-level opinion, but I want to hear what you guys have in mind. Thanks

Low level answer : Because it's not turning out to be good according to (non) fans.

I really don't know why the rating should bother anybody for that matter. Relax and enjoy the show if you find no problems with it.

Most anime start out with a high score since it's the avid fans of the series who rate very early on and give it high scores of 9 and 10 right of the bat.

But as more episodes roll in, the casual watchers too start giving out ratings which are typically lower, hence usually bringing down the scores.

(Also, it could be the fact that people aren't liking it, but I think my above reasoning makes more sense)

Many people that are watching the show at this moment don't even give marks now and wait for the season to end for a conclusion (like myself)....others didn't even began the show and wait for it to end so they can binge it....people that rate it now probably even rated it after the first episode was out and this makes 0 sense but as Kreator said lets relax and enjoy the show....this rating fiesta changing from a day to another/episode to another is becoming cringe...not to mention that many ratings on this site are irrelevant and some shows have a lower score than they deserve or vice versa so yeah.

I think part of the reason is because, and I'm not trying to stir up anything here, but I think it's because in these past 3 episodes nothing crazy has happened.

Re: Zero's main hook has always been the big dramatic scenes of Subaru dying horribly. I mean it's in the plot synopsis. The 1st episode of season 1 introduced this very early on. For a casual viewer with an average attention span, t's hard not to get hooked in this fashion.

However, season 2 seems to be focusing more on building up to that gore, rather than just shoving it in the very 1st scene of season 1.

But that's just my theory.

I wouldn't worry too much about this show's rating decreasing because the plot is just getting started and the meat of it is starting to come now. In fact, if you look at episode 3 statistics compared to ep 1 and ep 2, the likability factor for an episode has already increased which can be considered as a good sign for what is to come. Also having read the WN and LN of the series, it is possible that the series rating will start to gradually increase as each episode gets animated because the true beauty of arc 4 is that it is a slow satisfying burn that will get you, even more, hyped up as the plot progresses. The hype ball has already started with Echidna's introduction and IMO it will continue to grow as season 2 progresses. Also by knowing the context of next week's episode, I wouldn't be surprised if the series starts getting more attention and praise once the emotional scenes of that particular episode get animated. So in sense, my advice would be to just be patient and enjoy the series. The fun has only just begun.

No worries! If the rest episodes are same level of quality like the last 2 episodes, the anime rating will be pretty damn high at the end.Just hope it will not get terrible treatment like episode 1.

Because 8.7 was overrated.

Not everyone like the storytelling, the direction (some are saying it is rushed), there are complains about the art being less detailed. There is no Rem too.

All that means that "not everyone is scoring the series a BIG FAT 10/10", and for the Dog's sake, for an entry to reaches near 9.00, everyone in mass have to give it 10/10 without to think.


And in MAL foruns, among active users, you just see people who argue to avoid giving 10/10 to any series.


By the way, i'm sure that this is classic case of "second series with more fans and less newcomers or curious viewers being rated higher than the 1st season"

28k users from 100k watching it already rated, and it means the score will more stable from now on. I think in the end it will be rated around 8.5, while the 1st season was 8.3

because we re still at the setup stage of the season, arc 4 s not as quick to setup as the 2nd half of season 1 so it can definitely rub a few people the wrong way, but i believe once the story s done with this intro it ll quickly start improving in people s eyes.

Characters and Character interactions of this show is too much cheese and too basic for my liking. I don't even know why I rated the first season an 8, considering how unbearable I am finding these characters this season, especially Subaru, Rem, and Emilia. Maybe my taste has shifted towards SoL more, who knows.

Hopefully, it gets better from here on out.

Ratings vary a lot while an anime is airing, and a lot of people haven’t added their score yet. Ratings don’t really matter anyway in the grand scheme of things.

we re still at setup town, people are jumping the gun and the score was influenced by how hyped people were in episode 1.

Rating around 8.5 is pretty good enough.

And these episodes are pretty much just a build-up for this whole Arc.

the rating is already way too high. It deserves a 6 maximum. It will certainly decrease as people finish the series and genuinely understand this season isn t good.

There were 3 episodes so far which are a set up for the longest arc of the series that is said to be the best one out there... so your conclusion is premature and probably false. If it adapts arc 4 well it will probably go up, not down.

Read the light novel/web novel version of Re:Zero season 2, which is Arc 4, then you'll change your mind on how people will rate this season.

"It deserves a 6 maximum"

Let me check the scores concerning this:


Not listening and ignoring the troll, the Movie - Rated 9.1/10

nah, my taste is too trash to be ok with this.


That time i actually tried to argue with the user, Season 1 - Rated 2.3/10

too low! no way will start with this series!


Teasing in another topic, with my Smartphone - 6.39

That's my kind of show!

i ll still give it a shot but there s a huge dip in animation quality and the characters feel pretty dumb and generic compared to the previous season. Also, it s too much harem oriented now.

So far this 2nd season feels kinda slow so IMHO it deserves a 8 (or less...) at this point, the 1st 3 episodes in the 1st season were better because at that time this anime was new and had some sort of "mystery" behind it and dying and returning to the previous point was something new, I haven't seen that before in animes (as far as I know) so I liked the beginning of the 1st season more than this 2nd season.

This doesn't mean that the 2nd season is bad, it's simply building up for now, once the buildup happens then it needs to deliver and this is the point where the rating has to go up because if it doesn't then the buildup failed in this season.

I'll keep a positive mind on this 2nd season, hopefully it won't let me down.

Scores are volatile at the beginning, but in this instance, I'd say it's more to do with how stats were frozen for several days before suddenly re-updating (idk why). I noticed it with Deca-Dence, where it was 7.37 for a week after ep. 2 aired then fell to 7.08 in an instant, which is not normal.

It's happened in two instances this month.

LET ME JUST SAY THIS.
The score for a series that was originally supposed to be 25 ep per season get broken down into 2 cours...
Normally, we give anime with 23~25 ep ONE score. But now, we're have two seperate score...This is weird...
It started with Kizumonogatari. And now you see the trend apply to TV series like sao, rezero, etcs. We'll probably have to take the average of both part 1 and 2 to know the exact score of season 2. e.e

Because it has pretty much been all set up so far and many (like myself) are not very onboard with it yet. TBH, I’m surprised so many have given it a 10 so far given the snoozers we got in the past 2 episodes.

Hopefully it’s gonna pick up now that Subaru is “back” in his old world, but then again, I thought it was gonna pick up last episode so who knows.
