Legit. I have fallen asleep while watching this anime. Primarily the dialogue that is hindering everything about this show. Character interactions have no depth due to dialogue. Comedy falls short due dialogue. World building and the building up of the mystery falls really short due to dialogue. Other factors hindering this show is how there is no gravitas to the situation, the fact that it creates way too many questions and not enough time to answer all these questions if it 5 more episode. The only saving grace about this animation is it stellar animation, which I have to give props. I don't know how it got the budget for this.

TL;DR; This not a hidden gem show unlike Odd Taxi or Megalo Box 2, in my opinion, it is just a regular show with stellar animation.

Thanks for that pro tip. I never knew I could move on with my life, if it's not for me.

Here's a pro tip for you, if you don't like a show you have the right to voice your opinion with valid criticisms, and then move along.

Yeah I deleted the post because I came in too hot, but not liking a show isn't a unique take, I'm just tired of seeing half the threads in any given show being "I DoN't LikE ThiS"

Basically, no, you're obviously not the only one, but why post it in a forum where fans will obviously be the majority

Anyways, carry on

There's frankly not much particularly good about this show aside from the style and atmosphere which are actually enough to carry for now. Dunno if I will be able to say the same towards the end when it's time to wrap up everything in a satisfying fashion, tho.

But, you should, also, not be okay with people who go post threads sharing their thoughts about how "ThIs iS A mAsTeRpIeCe." People should be able to share there opinion with valid criticisms and move on with their lives.

I think that this is an easy going anime, so I wouldnt look for anything past the normal messages. I don't find the character interactions shallow to be honest, but it is clearly not a dialogue anime. They use a lot of non verbal visuals and silences to showcase the statement of each of them, and they can because the anime does a good job expressing the sentiment through the face and body expressions. As of now the production is enough to make it enjoyable too, and I wouldnt be so worried with the time, it all depends on how they tie the conflict of the Goblins honestly

The pirate version of Yona of the Dawn expect for goofy male boys (boys in Yona of the Dawn is much better). The story is still average but I hope this will improve, or else this will be another type of Demon Slayer or JJK anime.

I thought the story was pretty good and every character is so unique from their design to personality. But don't worry man it's not like everyone can like the same thing, it's all about taste and preference

Honestly speaking, this anime is, so far, kinda mid. But the concept is pretty cool. I'm prolly gonna stick around to see if the show actually gets better.

No you are not alone , there are atleast 1000 people who have either dropped it or rated it below 5 so yes u are not alone and also I'm not among them since I have yet to start this series , I would rather have the forum title as
"what do you like about this anime which I am not able to feel or like? "

You are not alone even if your opinion for let's say Attack on Titan is 3/10 , there are atleast 5k people with same opinion as you on MAl atleast
I don't hate people who make new forum threads to ask people for their opinion on why they like this anime but I do not like titles like this (ノ*0*)ノ

I don't consider the dialogue, characterization or execution of emotional or dramatic tension-wrought scenes or action or any one thing to be particularly incredible so far (at all really), but it's what is said here. For me, the premise alone is worth it. There are hardly any anime that I know of which involve actual pirates of the traditional, 1700s, Caribbean variety searching for fabled historical relics, lost treasure, etc. clashing with the British navy or eastern warriors, etc. It also helps that the animation is pretty stellar for its art style and suits the content of the show.

I remember responding in a MAL thread topic some time in what I think was well over a year ago about what are some subjects you would like to see more of in anime and I named the historical pirates as we know of them in conventional Western history and storytelling/lore (as opposed to "space pirates" like in Cowboy Bebop/Bodacious Space Pirates or modern-day piracy a la the real world Somali groups which is something closer to what's featured in Black Lagoon). This is probably the closest anime to that excluding some adaptations of Treasure Island in the past 50+ years.

Basically - just explaining why, in line with the thread topic.

It's still too early, of course, to say what the ultimate quality of this series will prove to be in the end.

I only watch this series to finish it, to be honest. The animation, characters and locations look great, but the plot is meh. The 'comedy' bits are bad. It's also too 'otome game' for me.

I liked the show, not as much as I hoped, but I still did. My two issues with the show are, one Fena was underwhelming and while great, the action was not enough.

Wouldn't it make more sense to spend (even more) time writing about a show you actually enjoyed though? Ya know, instead of allocating even more time on a show you didn't even like in the first place. Idk. Im sorta with the first guy who responded, just surprises me when people want to casually talk about a show they didn't even like.

Also fell asleep a few times. My problem is everything about it feels like I should like it, everything feels good. But I just can't care about it.

Breaking down why and how the show is structured it mostly reminds me of a classic 2000's adventure anime with its pace, tone, and largely characters. Not that that's a bad thing. But possibly because of this it lacks thematic depth and only drives itself forward without taking much time to breath or revisit past episodes- always a new location and event without prior context playing much of a part.

To unpack the problems I have with it probly starts with how untraditionally anime most of the directing is, it feels more like Disney's Treasure Island that Ghibli Castle In The Sky, which could be a large part of why people like it (its a more familiar style). But that doesn't work well with the supporting cast (and to a large extent Fena's situation) which is that of a shoujo harem- the main girl surrounded day and night by a group of potential suitors. And for an adventure show that bi-shounen harem doesn't quite fit. We also don't spend much time with most the supporting cast as the show goes on, being plot based over character based.
