Well I'm well over 6,000 completed anime, and well over 500 unique full length series now (not including sequels) - unique shows, and I can unabatedly say that this is easily one of the worst full length TV series I've seen in many years- Among the cringiest shows I've seen since Aku no Hana, among the greatest disaster classes I've seen since Ousama Game. The show checks every box on what not to do. The Animation and production value has been well below par - not a good look from Yokohama Animation Studios. The characters- almost every last one of them is so unlikable. Adonis has to be one of the least likable MC's of all time - Doroka makes no sense, there's absolutely no character chemistry anywhere in the cast. The writing and direction seems to be all over the place, I'm not even sure Adonis knows what he wants, non the less the damn viewers. It's a shame cause Revenge stories are typically one of my favourite themes in anime- Like Angelo Lagussa (91 Days), Count of Monte Criso (Gankutsuo), or Lelouch (Code Geass)- but those shows were driven by extremely charismatic, intelligent characters who utilised their intelligence combined with some manipulation to bring about direct targeted revenge. With Adonis its just indiscriminate slaughter without any sense of ambition or purpose, I don't know who unironically rates this show. It's genuinely among the worst shows I've ever seen and I can't really stress that enough. It's become intolerable to watch. The show is dropping rapidly - down to 6,69 from 7,60 after week 2- so down almost a full point, but i need this to keep dropping. This show is REALLY bad.

My main problem with it is that it cannot choose what it wants to be. The changes in tone from episode to episode —and even within a single episode sometimes— is quite obnoxious and very, very, very poorly executed. It literally feels like a bad fanfic from Tumblr circa 2001. I agree on the character profiling, especially from the mains. What the fuck do they stand for? What does pink-hair want and why is she so attached to this incoherent dumbass that can't pick whether he wants to be a genocidal maniac or a benevolent, introspective pseudo-intelectual? Is this an "I can fix him" sort of fantasy? I feel like I am watching a completely different show every episode, except it becomes a progressively worse experience because they make sure I have effectively skipped every episode previous to the one I am currently at. I was coping hard for this one but nah, it is over. There's nothing to salvage anymore. This is the worst show of 2023, second only to the abomination that was I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too

@Animaticide LOL i didn't see that isekai you mentioned at the end but it sounds so bad, I typically try to skip most isekai now unless there's something unique about it or its just gaining a strong reputation. Yeah Doroka is a really bad character man. She lifelessly sticks to Adonis with no ambition/goals of her own and its never really properly developed. Like, Adonis killed / got all the witches on the moon killed, treats her unbelievably poorly, and its just like "No I wannt stick with you Adonis, even though i seemingly don't cosign anything you're doing and you killed all the witches". What a disaster of a show man, through and through. Honestly, the only episode I've liked proibably since Ep 1 was the one when those bandits/pirates saved Adonis & Doroka; gave it a bit of character, but yeah its been all downhill since, MC's actions are so illogical and intolerable; rivaled only by Doroka's actions/intentions. I really hate this show man. I only watched it because my good buddy wanted to watch it with me, after the hype debut, and man, its undoutedly the worst I've seen this year. Liar Liar was bad, Bullbusters (also running this season) is bad, under ninja is pretty bad, but none of them are as intolerable as KoR.

Liar Liar, Bullbuster, and Under Ninja are at least redeemable in SOME regard (well, maybe not Liar Liar). I find the company bureaucracy in BB pretty funny in a meta way and UN's bizarre weirdness is actually it's strength and what keeps me coming back despite how hard they both try to make me back away from them. I do enjoy watching the occasional shit fest like Lucifer Hammer because the torture can be endearing in some way, but this... this stupid show about witches ot something has absolutely nothing going for it. Even when it tries it's hardest to be edgy (which was what drew my attention towards it in the first place) it falls flat on its face, does a rollout, and manages to bounce back and land on its balls twice in the one attempt, and I have to look away because the second-hand embarassment is simply too much to handle. The worst thing a show can do for me is keep me completely uninterested and I've noticed that week after week I just stare there, blankly, at it, as... stuff happens until the ending song suddenly tells me it's over and I move on from having been forcefully disconnected from existence for 23 minutes straight. I can't even hate it properly, is what I am saying. What is this show? WHY is this show?

I actually really enjoyed the beginning roll out of this series! I’d say up until the witches on the moon bit. After that it feels like it’s trying to hard to rush the manga which makes sense considering how short it is but everything down to Adonis’s ‘character arc’ isn’t going well fleshed enough. Unlike what I could only assume reading the manga would do although I haven’t read it. I did enjoy Adonis however for what he was and it’s a similar thing that I have when it comes to Goblin Slayer where I enjoy the main character but all the side characters are unbelievably one note and painful to watch. Like I understand having the character who doesn’t like people dying around this homicidal maniac as like his angel on his shoulder but like come on she’s just annoying. Also that painfully cringe scene where Adonis thought she was getting raped or whatever that was supposed to be. I would say the beginning has enough interesting ideas and story bits that I was expecting to lead up into an event crazier story but like I said after that moon bit with the witches the entire plot started to slow down way too much ruining the pacing and showing this poorly done animation. Making it even more painful for me to watch personally. The opening still slaps tho.

TL;DR

This anime doesn't get enough love. 🥲
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

ok wtf is this take

" I'm not sure what he wants, just massive slaughter " you literally explained his motives, he wants revenge on the kingdom because they killed his teacher, it's as simple as that, and he's doing that lol

also code geass isn't about revenge lol, he wants to protect his sister and also free Japan, heck it's even not as edgy

@Saimatsu_Fan Revenge was literally one of the major driving forces behind Lelouch's entire character and motivations. Yes he veiled it / justified it as wanting to create a peaceful world for nunally, but 100% he orchestrated the black knights and wanted revenge on Charles / Brittania for what happened to his mother Marianne, as well as abandoning he and nunally. I'm not sure how you missed that lol. And seeking revenge =/= inherently that it's edgy either, lol. Code Geass is one of the best written shows of all time

I don't really care that much about the animation, the production value and all that stuff but the main characters truly are so off-putting and repulsive, it's crazy. Doroka is like the worst female lead in anime history, I don't even know why she is there, she serves less than zero purpose. Adonis is like a teen entering puberty - irrational and pissed at everyone around him for fuck knows what reason. And the saddest thing is I really liked the premise of the show and thought it would be one of my favorites from this season.

@Inexplicable

I do care about the animation/production, tbh and i think its been noticeably poor for a show like this that's dealing with magic, fantasy, etc. But yeah Adonis and Doroka as i pointed out in OP, are really awful characters, probably specifically Adonis. I did enjoy the first episode, but to think it'd be one of the better of the season? No i was never quite at that level. Like Pluto, Friieran immediately pinged out masterpiece vibes. Apothecary Diaries also started very strong, Yuzuki-Chan is really a warm show, and thats not including sequels like Tokyo Revengers/Spy X Family which are damn good shows. But yeah, i'd probably have scored the first episode around a 7/10 - and its probably at a 3 right now for me heading into the finale. It's been consistently downhill since episode 2 minus that one episode i thought was palatable where Adonis/Doroka are saved by those bandits.

@Marinate1016 Bro what? I'd hardly say it's doing well, neither the manga nor the anime is well rated/received, neither in the west nor in Japan lol.There's plenty of ongoing manga/shows that aren't good. And unfortunately i don't drop shows, so not an option. But since i'm stuck with it, and it's so notably bad, yeah it's worth talking about how its fathomable for a show to be this bad.

It’s always an option to drop if you hate it this much. You’re clearly not the target audience and your post is bait at best. “It doesn’t get enough hate” like literally every post is just shitting on the series so it obviously gets hate in the west, it is popular in Japan which is all that matters.

@Marinate1016 Ok and you're more than welcome to be "here" but the series is trash, and its 6,69 is still way too high relatively to a show this bad. So no, me saying that this show which realistically is one of the worst of the year, if not in years, and deserves a score that reflects that is quite reasonable. Why am i not the target audience? I'm not the target audience for a fantasy/magic revenge seinen? That's bullshit , as many of my favourite anime cross those genres.

I’m “here” as in Japan. Should’ve been obvious from the first post. The series is not trash and thankfully westerners are not the target audience of anime so western scores and opinions don’t matter at all. Hametsu is a top 3 show this season 🙏🏾

@ciiviic Yeah it really is to go from 7,60 to 6,69 in the span of 10 weeks is pretty unprecedented. It's dropping literally a tenth a week lol. Hopefuylly it continues to drop. I know many of the more critical scorers wait till a show completes to rate it - like for me its probably a 3/10 and barring something that makes me nod my head during the finalé (unlikely) it probably remains a 3/10, so once the finalé drops next friday i expect it to continue to freefall and probably drop another half point or so, maybe more over the next 3-4 months.

@Marinate1016 Top 3 show in a season that has Frieran, Pluto, Apothecary Diaries, Spy X Family, Tokyo Revengers, Yuzuku-Chan, etc is so far beyond ludicrous it hardly merits a response. I mean its objectively bottom 3 lmao, It's by far the worst i'm watching this season and i'm current on about 30 shows so far - with 4 or 5 more i still have to watch.

You can always disregard someone’s opinion on anime, film or any entertainment when they use the word “objective” to describe art. Thanks for giving me a laugh though. A dude with all SAO in his top 10 is calling Hametsu trash is really funny.

I did enjoy the first episode, but to think it'd be one of the better of the season? No i was never quite at that level. Like Pluto, Friieran immediately pinged out masterpiece vibes. Apothecary Diaries also started very strong, Yuzuki-Chan is really a warm show, and thats not including sequels like Tokyo Revengers/Spy X Family which are damn good shows. But yeah, i'd probably have scored the first episode around a 7/10 - and its probably at a 3 right now for me heading into the finale. It's been consistently downhill since episode 2 minus that one episode i thought was palatable where Adonis/Doroka are saved by those bandits.

half of this is you talking about how much you like other anime first eps lol

next time bring Actual good arguments
@Saimatsu_Fan Well that reply was in regards to saying it was one of the best first episodes of the seasons, so i mean, in order to rebuttal that of course you'd compare it to the other debuts of the season? lmao

@Marinate1016 Top 3 show in a season that has Frieran, Pluto, Apothecary Diaries, Spy X Family, Tokyo Revengers, Yuzuku-Chan, etc is so far beyond ludicrous it hardly merits a response. I mean its objectively bottom 3 lmao, It's by far the worst i'm watching this season and i'm current on about 30 shows so far - with 4 or 5 more i still have to watch.

You can always disregard someone’s opinion on anime, film or any entertainment when they use the word “objective” to describe art. Thanks for giving me a laugh though. A dude with all SAO in his top 10 is calling Hametsu trash is really funny.
@Marinate1016 SAO is infinitely better than this. I mean in all aspects. Also of course there's objectivity in art. lol You're as insufferable as this show, so its not surprising it resonates with you. :)

If it is objective then it has to be a scientific fact and thus every artist approaching the same subject matter should have the same result if they know those facts as they should, but everyone interprets them differently depending on what they feel works best for the piece.

so what you're saying is false.

@Marinate1016 So you have no understanding of the nuance of objectivity and subjectivity and how they intersect. lol. But I'm not really in the mood of explaining to you. Point is this show sucks, and you should feel bad for liking it, but i do love the irony that someone as obnoxious and edgy as you would relate to a show like this lol

@Marinate1016 lmao you didn't come close to winning this debate. Go spend more time watching good anime, and less time making a fool of yourself in the forums <3

@Fromaseed

What did you write? I just see some Russian text lol


But idk, i do disagree with you here, this show is really bad. Like it is genuinely one of the worst I've seen in years. Hopefully you're right though. I hope i'll be able to forget this, but i really don't know if i will lol

@ryzxgum What's sad is the first episode was inarguably the best episode of the show ;;

It's basically gotten worse every episode since. Thankfully it ends next friday.

Over 6,000 anime and all of your favourites are SAO, your opinion is not valid.

Also, to nearly everyone in this thread: learn how to use paragraphs ffs.

True and based.

OP says Adonis is unlikable. Why? He got fucked over and now he wants to wipe out humanity. Seems reasonable to me. I for one enjoy that he's not some cringe ass normie who is trying to "do the right thing" or bring the people responsible to "justice" or whatever. He just wants to murderhobo. I can respect that. His only family got humiliated and murdered in front of him and you expect him to what, just get over it?

Nah, slaughter them all like the vermin they are.

I haven't watched it but i probably wouldn't want to take the opinion of a user named "johan" and some weird religious sentiments in their signature seriously.
