Yeah, I'll follow up on that. I agree that KnY is mid, but I'll give it a better score than, say, Scrapped Princess. Or even Blue Exorcist. Mid, to me, range from 5-7, borderline 8 (I have a show). A show being mid depends on it's genre, it's story and it's characters. Enjoyment, sound and art are completely detached, so even though I enjoyed Demon Slayer more than Blue Exorcist, and it has better animation, they're still both mid in my eyes. |
| What i'll never understand is why people use "mid" to say a show is shit when mid literally means it's average |
| If someone uses that word, I'll just assume that he/she is a boring person that isn't worth talking to. At least to me, it's a sign that the person has no capabilty to bring any meaningful discussion. |
| For me, "mid" is still good. Because it is not "bad" yet. Thus it can be respected. |
 |
| Anything rated a 5 or 6 is considered "mid" imo |
 |
| That word is so overused that its annoying |
 |
| Any anime worth of 5 or 6 score. Not too bad but not too interesting either. |

| I never even use that word and it's always hard for me to remember its actual meaning before. I know it means something is "average" from asking someone which is I kinda get the same idea too before asking. |

| Usage of the term normally : mediocre Usage of the term in twitter : trash |
| An amalgamation of a term so disproportionately and proudly fucking retarded it discombobulates the idea of intellect. I hate it so much I'd rather chug 50 rats that have been shit out by a single disease-ridden bald eagle infused in hyena vomit and dog water through the digestive tract of a hippopotamus than have it exist. People use it to define a show they deem as "bad" when it's literally just "middle" or "mid-tier" but with half the word gone... SO IT'S SUPPOSED TO MEAN AVERAGE OR UNREMARKABLE! And then they mix that HIDEOUS term with the title of some random anime thinking they're funny and genius and that they roasted the anime "LUL ECKS DEE DOY DOI HURR DURR ZOOMY ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!!"

| Something I find boring, but I still watched it for whatever reason. |

| To me, the word "mid" can simply be defined as a piece of media that is unmemorable or lacking in some capacity, but isn't entirely bad or good. I think the best example of "mid," in my opinion, is a seasonal anime you watch, but once the season ends, you never think about the series again. |
| I'm too old for this young kids lingo/slang so I have no idea. Is that suppose to mean that it's average or below average? We used to just say something is overrated in my day. |

| Mid/Average: Sports anime Anything with games (board games, Isekai and traditional games) Below average: Comedy, parody and idol |
 |
| I hate this term because it's used way to often. But definition wise, a "mid show" for me is a show which isn't great, but not bad either... just mediocre. It does nothing wrong, but nothing right. |
| I know it has lost its meaning but an anime earning a score of 3 is mid for me. |
 |
| it's either a show that does nothing good or nothing bad, it's just average in all aspects, or a show that does the same number of things good as it does bad, thus leading to them canceling eachother out |
| Mid is average, but this word is good in using to piss someone |
| We need fantasy not to escape the reality, but rather survive the reality. |
| I'd only use "mid" (or its cringier variant, "midcore") if I wanted to sound like a 2006+ kid. |

AcD4c said: As a person who likes most action and characters, I define mid as an anime who is mainly carried by art and animation, like Jujutsu Kaisen. I tried so hard to like the story and characters but I don't give a damn about them. So, basically a show that you watch because there's some hype on it. It's ok to finish because it's pleasant to the eyes, but most of the time you're bored because plot and characters are not interesting. I like this answer for bringing a different viewpoint to the discussion .. touche I sorta feel the same about Demon Slayer but the animation is so good I still rate it fairly high IKKIsama said: Someone just watched the latest Gigguk's video, amirite? I did , but I created this thread based off my "Mid Hero" thread I saw his video today .. but he hit the nail on the head Jamison2210 said: If I can only watch 1 or 2 eps at a time before getting bored then it's a mid anime iftsistrnn said: A show that starts to get boring after the first few eps because it doesn't have anything special. that's respectable .. but what's the difference between and trash ? |

DoruCatana said: Mid=(definition...) A mediocre person who is using the word "Mid" to describe the quality of something because of a lack of comprehension and understanding regarding the subject in question, something that results in poor criticism or the complete absence of it because the mediocre person doesn't have or/and can't use solid arguments backed by exemples in order to present a personal opinion. In this case, the word "Mid" becomes just a word without real value used just to donwgrade the quality of the object, usually a product of media that tells a story (Movie/Tv Series, animated series/manga/novel etc), making the mediocre lazy person who can't present solid arguments and doesn't like the concerned object feel better for it's own opinion... !!!Which is why, only a person can pe "Mid" because the subject that is criticised can only be "mediocre" if that is the case backed by solid arguments explaining why that it.... may I ask , where did you get this definition from? and following question , what exactly defines a "mediocre person"? |

ICHIGO890 said: Mid= Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia Mid Hero is indeed Mid FZREMAKE said: kushmonatl said: lol I just came from a thread that called Code Geass "Code Mid" ngl I caused a uproar the other day because I said MHA is Mid Hero .. but I gave examples why , (generic , average af , largely forgettable ) Yup this word is just thrown into the title of a show too make it sound like we are dissing a series. Honestly I think people can not like popular anime for genuine reasons but calling it mid seems like a new trend here and of course people will be mad at it. I can agree to that peodsgns said: i consider jujutsu kaisen cuz the animation is average, the characters are average, the setting is average and the story is average.the only worse thing about jjk is the fanbase that considers it as masterpiece bruuuuuuh I can see that .. never watched the show but ppl above make the same comparison to that and demon slayer (i.e average new age shonens) GreiLugaj said: Nothing. I'm allergic to that word... does it make you break out into a cough or sneeze ? does it make you lose oxygen or life points using that word ? official_brown said: It’s nothing so technical, if I barely enjoy the show or think about dropping it then I rate it a 5, which is mid. Mid doesn’t equate to being bad, but of course, being in the middle Crack said: It means middle. That would be like calling something 5/10 respectable answers |

kushakashi said: i define "mid" as something that doesn't particularly excel at anything. like, most shounen. important side note: mid refers to the quality of a show and has NOTHING to do with enjoyment. i enjoy isekai even though almost all of them are dogshit. similarly, you can still enjoy mid shows. (just don't say that they're good) solid answer .. I enjoy the heck outta demon slayer so I rate it slightly above mid even tho the story and some characters are generic af EndlessMaria said: Mid was a term invented by scholars to define Chainsaw Man. I'm still waiting on the anime .. hopefully it hits harder than mid status ! returntothenhk said: It’s mid unless it’s not mid. Hope this helps! give me some examples please SSJ4ABD said: So basically, you go about making a tier list, starting from stellar (best fate) to appalling (worst fate). All Fates go in top tier and everything else can be ranked beneath. The term 'mid' is comparing every show to Fate and the lesser it resembles, the more 'mid' it is. where does demon slayer compare since both are made by same studio ? Chandela said: If It's indoor grown but still is hella untrimmed, dark, or dry, and usually still selling for around $10 a G despite these faults. Even more so if your buddy or cousin grew it and keeps promising you that it's dank, and that he knows what he's talking about because he grows. You still get high off it, but it's rough and taste like dry grass, and you think 'I could have gotten better for cheaper at the dispo', but he's your buddy, so 'fuck it'. That's a hardcore suburban 'mids' vibe. OH YOU MEAN ANIME dank and based answer p.s. who still sells mid at 10/g ? very anti based and dank Lezardo_ said: Mid - is used to form nouns or adjectives that refer to the middle part of a particular period of time, or the middle point of a particular place. Something that is in the middle of ... Use vocabulary man nice profile pic btw PurpleMagic said: A show that does and says absolutely nothing new. (This includes characters, settings, themes, plot, conflict, and resolution.) Often times even the animation is stiff. I find the most common mid shows to do these two things. The show uses generic characters that never go beyond their one character trait. If the show does say something, its often something the audience has heard before, because of other better shows they've watched or because the lesson is so rudimentary its obvious. Mid shows are harmless but one could argue they are a waste of time when you could be watching a better written/animated show. can you give some examples of both points ? great answer btw Psycho_Goku said: Anything I don't like is mid in my opinion what separates mid from trash ? Coaghim said: What 'Mid' defines for me is the fact that the person that uses this word 'mid' is simply young & wants to fit in with his/her peers since it is (understandably) very important to them right now in the phase they are going through in their life. Like my generation used to say 'cool'. I believe cool got replaced by 'swag', no? Or is this already outdated aswell? swag is definitely outdated .. I believe its been replaced with the word "drip" |

DarkShame2 said: TheFireNinja said: I never use it. "Mid" is just another way of saying "average" to me. I define anything that's average, or a 5/10, as something that's neither good nor bad. Same as it's term I've never heard/seen used for anime till now, but I'll unlikely use that term over average. you wouldn't use that term in real life? lets say you go to a new pizza cafe , you eat a slice and it's nowhere Top 5/Top 10 ,, you say "this pizza is mid" ?

I respect it what does 5/10 mean for you , is that average or above average |
|
| For something to be mid, OP has to enjoy it. Only OP's favorite anime would count as mid |
| Stuff in the streets, Stuff with drip in the sheets |
kushmonatl said: what does 5/10 mean for you , is that average or above average Better than 4, or above average. Sorry, I haven't thought up adjectives to go with my scores. Best I can do atm. |

| 5/10s. These are honestly the hardest shows to watch because they are not that good, but at the same time they are not so bad that its entertaining. They are super bland and hard to watch. For me its probably MHA season 5 (apart from Shigariki's backstory that was fire). Litearlly felt so generic and normal shonen-even though manga handled it way better. But its not a shitshow. |
Don't blame me--you asked. words words words words words |
