For me, this is one of the best animes this year, up there with komi san and JoJo part 6, but i've seen so many mid reviews and comments. I havent read the manga, so maybe it wasn't adapted greatly? but still, so far its been an amazing watch :D

Yeah, its really good.
But the anime adaptation doesn't seems to anything 'outstanding' or 'well-deserved'.

I also started manga today, and I would suggest you to do so too!

You just answered your own question. Most manga readers weren't satisfied with the adaptation bcoz they expected something better and sad to say it was not met. Perhaps the source material set the bar too high that mid adaptations aren't even the middle-ground anymore. I can kinda agree with that tho, it really feels like they adapted the whole thing just for the sake of idk... adapting it. But hey, who am I to say that, Idek what kinda load the staff are carrying adapting the series. Still wish it was done justice though, considering how impactful the source material had been.

I think it's pretty mediocre but wasn't expecting it to be bad, the trailer got me captivated but as soon as I watched the episodes, the story was decent but the animation didn't give any wow factor and honestly better or not to continue the series if you want but I'd recommend to start reading the manga so you can compare and contrast between this adaptation and the manga to see how the story progresses and also the artsyle.

The adaptation was set to the wrong hands. I think if ur making an adaptation u gotta like hit em hard as the manga did which the anime didnt do. Their animation was quite dated. Looks like it came out of 2014. Still watching it tho

Because people love to follow trends. Some individuals said "the manga art is better" and so the rest followed. And what's most ridiculous is that when I tried reading the manga, I actually thought "Lawl, thank God the art in the anime isn't like this" and gave up. The pacing is also fine tbh. Almost nothing in the manga was left out of the anime, at least as far as I read.

So all in all, manga readers have no objective reason to hate on the anime but sadly, they do, thus making its rating take a huge blow compared to the manga. Sometimes it's tough when an anime we like or even love doesn't get the recognition that we feel it should, but that's how it is. At least it's not as bad as Platinum End which gets sh*t upon even harder and without any good reason, either.

This is what happens when something about passion is made with very little passion. Of course source material has the mangaka's heart (passion) and soul (vision) poured over it, so it's better by default. I mean it's not a battle shonen waiting for a sakuga adaptation. An anime treatment needs some delicate handling.
Still, the anime can stand up to it with great music (failed), great visuals (mostly fail), creative camera angles (mostly fail), initial basics build-up & pacing (fail), playing with light and shadow instead of flat contrast frames (fail), and so on.

It's so many of these little things that make the difference... But nevertheless, the anime is doing significantly better now than what it did before.

That sounds about right tbh, i guess when some people read a manga they really love, no adaptation will be good enough, no matter how good the animation, pacing, etc. And to be honest, trends can sadly change my view on animes. not much, but if all my friends are sh^tting on an all the bad things about an anime i like, i can't help but worsen my opinion a little. people should just say its bad or good or whatever, and not try to convince anyone who likes it otherwise :p

If those you associate with can influence you so easily, can you truly say you ever liked it that much in the first place? What's good to you should be good because you think so, and nobody should be able to influence you to think otherwise.

Sounds good on theory - doesn't work that well in real life situations :D Most of the mental processes that we go through to in order to reach a conclusion about whether we like a certain anime are subconscious. We have little to no control over them. It's actually a sign of extreme narcissism to ignore altogether the mass opinion and not be influenced by it in the slightest. For example, if you wake up tomorrow and the whole world starts telling you that 2*2 = 5, after the 527195th person, you'd start doubting yourself and your knowledge at some point, wouldn't you? And that's a good thing, what sane person would think they are absolutely correct when it's 1v527195? =)

It’s ok. Second half is way better than first half
The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

It's a shit adaptation even coming from a hardcore fan. The latest episodes might have gotten a bit better but it's a LOW-quallity adaptations. I'm not going to sum up the reasons but if you can't feel that something is wrong with the pacing then there's smth wrong with you. This is a case where you should just read the manga and compare one with another. You'll cry about the half assed adaptation.

The one person that said that nothing was left out need to gets their eyes checked. Animating 2 chapters (100 pages) in one episode without leaving anything out? Yeah, possible man, for real..

Because people were expecting it to have outstanding animation like Komi San's first episode and the pacing is also kind of fast in first few episodes. It's just decent, the manga is much better IMO. Hate to say this, but this adaptation didn't do any justice to the manga.

I'm gonna be that guy and say it feels like an ok adaptation. Wished it had a higher budget, I really like how organic the char designs are in the manga and it all feels very stiff in the anime, but it's understandable.

Still a decent starting point to the series to anyone thinking about starting the manga after this ends.

Personally, I caught up with the manga right as the anime started airing, so coming fresh off the heels of it felt pretty jarring. I think the anime is enjoyable enough, but some of the emotional beats don't land quite as well as they do in the manga, and the pacing of the anime just felt a little off. Still a decent adaptation, but if anyone were to get into Blue Period, I would 100% recommend the manga over the anime.

Mediocre adaptation. But completely watchable if you don't check the manga.

Basically, the amount of potential if this was animated by KyoAni or heck even Doga Kobo. This would be instant AOTY contender.
