| So I started to watch this series with high hopes, expecting to be one of the best of this season, and now with six episodes through I'm so disappointed. What suprises me the most is that this show has an overall score of 8.21 as of today. This show isn't bad but it surely doesn't deserve more than 7 in my opinion. Personally I don't like to give scores before a series ends, but if I had to give one now it would be 6. And If someone asks why, I can explain it. The Story and Art are perfectly ok, but the characters are the huge flaw of this show. It's not that they're annoying or something, it's just that they are so perfect. The good guys are soooo good and the bad guys are soooo bad. This really pisses me off because it makes the show so fucking obvious and predictable. Seriously those 7 main characters are so nice and sweet, especially Bro, who is the very definition of the word GOOD. I guess even Jesus would be jealous of his kindness. But than we have the bad guys, being that guard an the Doctor who are the most sick villains ever. Do you guys don't agree? |
| Come on...... There is only less than 2000 user vote this and Angel beat got less than 7000 user vote this... Can't say this is overrate ( meaning many people leave it blank instead of scoring it,many people wan't to put low score but they hesitated it .Compare with other Anime's score user number and you can see the reason clearly) |

| I like predictable animes... However, I see your point, but I like this anime pretty much. I gave this anime 8 (yet to be reconsidred), and I'm wondering about giving it a weak 9. |
| its predictable, but its awesome and the atmosphere is superb plus there is no censoring ;P |
peroxid said: Do you guys don't agree? Nope, I cannot agree with your statement... To start with - this show is a far cry from being overrated... story, art, music - they're above average. About characters: for now they're shallow and not really well-developed, but these are the only flaws, imho saying that something is overrated just because of explicit contrast between bad and good guys is... somewhat strange. If we were to compare this show to the rest of this moeshit that airs in a great number every season... I'd rather watch the 'anime with a great story but not-so-great characters' than the later one. I think that 8 is a perfect score for this show. At least for now. |
     |
| Casshern Sins not touch 8 and already finished, and this one still run 6 episode and already have score that high, so yeah this one is overrated =p Gah... score on anime database like this is always shit anyway, just don't trust them. For the animu itself, definitely this one of the best of this season... yeah its have some silly scene and its bother me too, but you can't deny the OST, Visual, acting is stunning. |

I think that 8 is a perfect score for this show. At least for now. story, art and music above the average? Really? Story is something original, but until now there wasn't plenty of story development right? Sure, every character has it's background story (some to be still unfolded I guess), but again what about the rest, what happens in this 6 episodes? The Art is completely average imo, with the exception of the most brutal scenes, and about the music, It's good. My favorite aspect in this series so far. Still comparing this show to the so-called "moeshit" is insulting to the very show itself. Stating that this show is better than moe shows isn't an praise imo... As for the best show of the season, personally I think it's Tatami Galaxy by far. There is a great story/stories with intriguing characters an original art. But the again, everyone has different tastes, so I understand everyone who considers this to be the best one. Peralisc said: peroxid said: Do you guys don't agree? You don't do english, do you?

I was expecting a dank, complex story about prison life for these kids especially in the time period they live in-- I expected it to be harsh. But it just goes for shock value to get you to riled up or sympathetic. Seriously, if I have to listen to another speech about "nakama", I might puke. Best I've seen this series offer was the first three or four minutes when all their faces were covered when they were on the bus. After that, things started going downhill. Well basically, this 6 eps only introduction because its only cover 2 from 22 manga volume for now. and what this show deliver is what you want from introduction, but the problem is this is anime, when you already reach 6 episode or so you want the "real" stuff started.. Well with all the probs, I'm still think this is 2nd best after Oofuri Natsu-hen for anime of the season. and just reading l TS post, hell... you ranting about this anime or the character ? |

| I for one don't agree. I think this anime is probably one of the most realistic things I've ever watched. All of this could happen in real life. There's no extremely crazy ass faces, no weird symbols such as sweat drops or stress marks, no lame ass sound effects, and nothing that couldn't happen in for real. It's just amazing. The voices aren't too crazy sounding either. If anything, it's brilliant and seems to be UNDERrated by some people. |
 |
| Hell no this isn't overrated. What are you talking about? Perfect good characters? For one, they're all in JAIL. The first episode they all had a big mouth and one of them beat up all the others, including the little one. The nice guard is a total coward. One bad guy is bad cause he's a pedo, one is bad cause he's after money. And seriously, compare this to the first six episodes of any random anime. I think this show has the potential to become the next Death Note-quality show. |

Best I've seen this series offer was the first three or four minutes when all their faces were covered when they were on the bus. After that, things started going downhill. This. I could go on to explain why in depth, but I can't be bothered, and know it won't change most peoples opinions... But basically, it comes down to the overload of generic shounen, ecchi and 'moe' shows that continue to come forth each season. Occasionally a series dares to sway from the norm, Rainbow being one of them. The anticipation for a series with a dark atmosphere and 'realistic' story has blinded many individuals due to it's discrepancy amongst the anime scene. In more simpler terms, not moe + srs bzns = omg awesomeness!1!!1 In actuality, however, the series has and repeats the same flaws over and over. The characters are all exceptionally dull, no one standing out from the other... What should be inspiring events, prove nothing more than clichéd corniness- In-fact, the amount of cheesiness the series pervades could possibly be enough to start a dairy business... Wash, rinse, repeat... etc. I can say with confidence that if this were a live-action drama or a western novel, it would not garner the same attention it does in its current medium, for unlike in anime, war stories are all too common place there... And this is plain and simply, an average one at best from what I've seen (one grating on my patience anyways). |

| not moe + srs bzns = omg awesomeness fak yes, so true if we go by that with poor logic, if this kind of shit get 7 it not that bad to give +1 for this show rite Btw I understand all the complaint about the subjective point (story, plot, etc) But anyone can't deny the objective point (graphics, sound, acting) on this series is superb, for me even the story will proven bad later, if I must judge it properly I wil give 7 just from objective point rate. |

| Just few words: I gave it a 10. So yes, I am happy overrating it. |

This Anime is a bit underrated because not much voter rating for it.Most people just run away after watching the first episode..... >.< Only 2018 users vote for this Anime .... |
MorningGlory said: This Anime is a bit underrated because not much voter rating for it.Most people just run away after watching the first episode..... >.< Only 2018 users vote for this Anime .... # of voters doesn't make it over/underrated, the score does. If only 100 people had seen something but all had given it 10, it might be underappreciated but definitely not underrated. |
| Let's just ruin this thread with this: 10 - 21.2% (430 votes) 09 - 26.1% (530 votes) 08 - 27.4% (555 votes) 07 - 14.7% (299 votes) 06 - 05.9% (119 votes) 05 - 02.5% (51 votes) 04 - 01.2% (24 votes) 03 - 00.5% (10 votes) 02 - 00.2% (5 votes) 01 - 00.2% (5 votes) Apparently, more than 7/10th think the anime deserves at least an 8, while 2/3 of them think its worth being overrated. So, I guess its worth being overrated. :D |

Well actually it is best to wait till this Anime finish to judge ....most people will re-rate after a series finish because they lazy to re-rate during halfway ^^ ( Actually I am pointing at the low number of user voting of this Anime,don't you think is weird?Just a extreme violent Anime but yet so less people rating for ..... ) |

| Honestly I'm often hear complaint about the manga on the beginning part, and I'm now understand it, yeah on some part this show is very naive and I'm not like it. And they lack of despairin' BGM to describe the grit too, I think the naivety on some part of the plot can be somewhat ceased if they put some despairing track which can make we feel gloomy and feel their nakama-tachi naivety is useless and we feel sympathy for them. But regardless of some probs, yeah for me this one overrated too but at least its still better than the most of title on this season. And I hope its still improve and became one of title we must remember in our life. |

Not sure whether this Anime is good or bad,but at least I am enjoying it ^^ Overrated or underrated are just personal opinion.I can even say Naruto is underrated if I want LOL ( is it just me,because I felt many on-going Anime has this "Overrated" thread on it. ) |

BerserkFan said: yeah, I hear you. I've had high expectations for it but sadly all I got was a cheap drama about nakama and one-dimensional evil characters. Dropped for good. If the Villain is one dimensional, the protagonist already killed by injection of mosquito poison on their butt. or you can't believe that kind of evil is really exist ? Your life must be very happy sir, I'm happy hear it. @MG yep, you rite |
|
| Well, I have scored a bit too highly but its mainly because I know whats gonna happen in this series and I'm excited to see a "translated" version of what I read. =P Unfortunately, I'm worried this series won't animate the whole story and stop at some point, which would really suck. I just hope Madhouse animates all 22 volumes because certain background revelations take place much later in the manga. ;) |
| This show is not shonen. This is also the best show of spring, fuck your moe dumb garbage shit. Bam. Burn. |
peroxid said: in my opinion. There's the problem. This show is not overrated. Just over 2000 people have rated it and nearly 5000 are watching it. If you want an example of someting overrated and over hyped, go check out the Haruhi movie's page. |

fertygo said: From episode 7,I realize that they can't kill him directly.They need a good reason of death.I guess they have to write a report or something if anything Big happen."Rules are Meant to be Broken" If the Villain is one dimensional, the protagonist already killed by injection of mosquito poison on their butt. |
| @fertygo Ohhh... still got 1% politician |
| I kind of overrated it for myself. I thought it was going to have the same feeling as the manga, but it came out merely as a "good" show to me. I think it's my fault that I'm not enjoying the series because I'm making it out to be something it isn't. This show is a throwback to shonen series that have little to no appeal to the yaoi fanbase as a seinen show. Sure, this is a seinen show, but lets not fool anyone, deep, deep down this is a shonen show. |

I haven't seen the most recent episodes, but the last two episodes I did see were pretty painful, not only for the characters, but for myself as well. At least with K-ON!! I can just sit back and have a good time. |
| Hmm I've had some mixed feelings about this show. peroxid said: The Story and Art are perfectly ok, but the characters are the huge flaw of this show. It's not that they're annoying or something, it's just that they are so perfect. I agree that the characters are a flaw to some extent. I wouldn't say that they're perfect, but they're just very righteous (save, help, never give up), touchy-feely, determined, and have cheesy acting. Their actions have also been predictable so far. Then again, I can't say that I dislike them. I'm still interested in them. tehnominator said: I was expecting a dank, complex story about prison life for these kids especially in the time period they live in-- I expected it to be harsh. But it just goes for shock value to get you to riled up or sympathetic. Yeah, pretty much. I hope that Rainbow has more plans than to make us go on sympathy trips one after another. I don't want to see a unique premise go to waste. However, the show still manages to entertain me. After accepting that this is just how it's going to be for now, I watch for the intensity and for the characters to pull out some crazy righteous stunts to get through the toughest situations. I just hope that the anime will take a step above this and have room for cast/plot development. *Waiting on total episode number to be confirmed* fertygo said: And I hope its still improve and became one of title we must remember in our life. -thumbs up- =] Rather than being concerned if this show is overrated at THIS point.. I'd rather wait and see how it will turn out. I form my opinions better on that anyway after the show is complete, and more ratings come in on several different websites. ^^! |

| Rainbow isn't a great series, at least so far, but is definitely above average. You could ask this same question in the Kaichou wa Maid-sama forum, which is indeed one grossly overrated anime, at 8.23 at the moment. |
| What defines overrated? Typically it's a individual who makes that judgment. But what if a group of people calls it overrated, then is it really overrated? |

Well, then, everything KyoAni makes is shoujo. And shoujo is nothing more then bad melodramatic soapopera. |

Yes, Maid-sama is indeed overrated, but still I prefer that show at this one (and trust me, I hate moe and more mainstream stuff). But still I at least have some laughs while watching that one. This show is simply shounen show disguised as seinen .It looks like One Piece characters, dropped into a seinen series, and I don't have any problems with One Piece, although the whole nakama talk pisses me off, but still it's two things that don't combine. At least Maid-sama is a straightforward Shounen/Shoujo (parody) show. Metroid said: Also thread's logic is fucking dumb. This is a seinen but it seems like a shonen? So it must be shonen? Well, then, everything KyoAni makes is shoujo. And shoujo is nothing more then bad melodramatic soapopera. I don't really get where you're trying to get with your logic. Everything KyoAni makes is shoujo? I can't really say for sure, since I didn't watch them, but after making a little search of their titles they look to me as shoujo/shounen. And what is the problem with that? Labeling shoujo as "bad melodramatic soapopera" is fucking dumb on the other half. In general saying that a specific genre is bad, is a sign of stupidity... |
