| Every time a new anime gets super popular on the internet, I honestly don't care. My taste is very different from the internet's taste (implying that the internet has a taste). But I can see that it could help anime and the anime community in the long run since it brings a lot of people to the medium, making anime more profitable and allowing more anime to be made. But then again it could bring the wrong people. You know, toxic people. People who expect too much. People who refuse to try anything new. People who think they know everything. I know that there'll be those people anywhere you go, but I don't think that the hype train does anything to discourage that behavior, and maybe it even encourages that behavior. |

| I’m indifferent about it, but I do feel like it helps shows out sometimes like I don’t think Uzaki would’ve gotten a second season if not for the crazy amount of people talking about it when it was airing |

| They do them, you do you. Who do we have to care? Well, I'm baited. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Sometimes. It can easily lead to something being called "overrated" though |
 |
| Personally, I avoid watching anything that is being hyped a lot, in case of seasonals (at least up until it finishes airing and hype cools down). |
| Probably not a lot. Theses sometimes have good results (Beastars, JJBA), but most of the time it sucks (Nagatoro, Kaguya-sama, BNHA) |
is it really worf to put things in here like nobody reads these discord ~ ganjimex |
| I don't think hype is good or bad, it brings more attention to anime, more attention means more distribution of anime which basically means more access to anime worldwide. fluffycow17 said: The anime elitists are way more toxic than newcomers to anime because they do literally all of what you described, a lot more than newcomers.You know, toxic people. People who expect too much. People who refuse to try anything new. People who think they know everything. I know that there'll be those people anywhere you go, but I don't think that the hype train does anything to discourage that behavior, and maybe it even encourages that behavior. Newcomers will not try to critique an anime, anime elitists will do it simply because XYZ anime is overhyped. |
 |
| I don't think it's necessarily bad. But I also don't think it's totally great. On one hand it brings more attention to anime as a whole and thus liking anime becomes more and more normalized (in my world at least). But it also brings toxic people, like you've said. But we got plenty of those already, so a few more wouldn't make that much of a difference. |

The overall design of the show had me disgusted for some reason. Holy fucking shit throughout years of being on here I thought I was the only one who said this shit outright, even so people only saw it as a joke. I literally said Uzaki looked disgusting and I wanted to squash her stupid looking head and everyone would just 'haha nice joke' like no it's not a joke. She looks like the new Toho Godzilla with those uncanny eyes. I have no problem with ecchi but ecchi exists for a reason. With that kind of design I'd rather be a monk. |

| Hype is bad when it becomes a group activity. If kept as an individual activity, it isn't toxic. Hype can lead to people spoiling others and plenty of other worthless behaviour. Like with many of us here on MAL, when it came to spoilers about "Shingeki no Kyojin s4". To tell the truth I got a little spoiled concerning "Promised Neverland s2". By spoiled I mean, if the score wasn't bad enough, the random comments on forums are enough to kill your anticipation for wanting to watch it. |
 |
| Only good sometimes for anime I absolutely had never heard of before like Redo Healer or Jujutsu Kaisen before. It makes me check the show. Totally not for already popular sequel like AoT final season. |

| depends, hype can sometimes be a good thing |
 |
| This is one of those posts to agree with. |
 |
| Sometimes. It really pays off if the show itself is amazing. Like they built up hype and it delivered. Or it could go bad. They build up hype for something amazing and it really lacks everything. Like what happened with TPN s2. Hell Ex-Arm waged a war against all sci-fi shows and you saw where than ended up. |

| Demon slayer movie is that one anime that taught me to never trust the hype and popularity ever again.If an anime gets popular I'll always wait when the hype dies down and then watch it from now on. |

| in terms of capitalism or profit yes hype is really important as you describe |
| Genrerally speaking it's better for something to be talked about than not, yeah. |
| I don't treat the hype like a bad thing so it's alright for me. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| From what I can tell it amounts to cheerleading for sequels of already popular shows. For example, the "most stacked season ever" aka Winter 2021 consisted of 13 shows that currently have a rating of 8.00 or more, 9 of which were sequels. Attack on Titan 4.1 Gore Isekai 3 Euro Camping 2 No Biriyani 3 Slime Isekai 2 Dr. Stone 2 Quintessential Quintuplets 2 World Trigger 2 Beastars 2 For the record the 4 original titles were: Paedo Isekai, Horimiya, Wonderful Eggs & Sk8. Are these scores reflections of these shows quality, or just the hype train? Personally, I cannot see any of these shows really standing the test of time, with the notable exception of AoT. |

| Bleach is best consumed with your ears open and your eyes closed. |
| Hype is never a good at least from viewers perspective -It just brings more hater. -It just makes series look overrated or underrated to people thus clouding people's judgement -Its always better to judge for urself than joining so shitty train of hype. U will get better at judging anime and exploring ur own taste by not joining the hype Though positive hype is good from a production perspective |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |
|Peeti said: Scordolo said: you watched it on big screen or small screen?Yeah,watched it but after completing it I never got the hype from it.So it taught me that I should only watch a popular anime only when the hype is dead. I watched it specifically on my Television.The only good thing from it was Rengoku vs Akaza the rest was mid.I wish I watched it when the hype died down but it's impossible because it's a big franchise and people won't stop talking about it. |

| From a producer's standpoint, perhaps yes, as it lets them get more attention and thus more eventual sales of merch/DVDs/etc.. From my standpoint as a watcher, however, no, because it sets up expectations, and I'd rather go into a show without expectations. For most shows I think this works better. Less complaining about cliches and predictability, basically. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I think its a good thing. Back then I wasn't into the quintessential quintuplets, but because of the hype surrounding it I decided to check it out. It didn't live up to the hype imo but it did one thing for me. It got me curious enough to read the manga, to which I really liked. So yeah I think there are some benefits to certain shows getting hyped. |
| Recommend me an anime |
| If it's the Nino Train then Yes. I'M RIDING ON THE RAILS OF THE NINO TRAIN! |
| I like it when an anime I like gets people hyped and gains more fans who also like it because that means there'll finally be more fan content like fanarts and memes. Also having more fans sometimes means a greater likelihood of a second season however hype trains usually means turning off some other people who prefer to watch obscure anime, it also sometimes brings the expectations WAY TOO HIGH which can be detrimental for future episode's enjoyment. also more hype also = more hate coming this way |

| Hype from trailers=good. Hype from manga readers=bad. Hype from LN elitists=omega bad please fuck off you fucking degenerates. |
