Weird-but-true said: I watched till episode 11 and am really hyped for episode 12. To be honest, as someone who watched over 500 anime series, I found Butareba a really great anime. I can't understand why western people are hating it? It is really well recieved in Asia and particularly Japan. I know there are some delay issue but it was same with Zom 100 (which is a great series too), therefore it doesn't explains the hate and below 6 ratings it got here I think majority of western fandom thinks if an anime have fan service, it is bad. Why don't we all rate it for story instead of synopsis? Trust me this show is Dark and serious instead of your typical fan service animes. Atleast watch it completely before hating. It hurts to me as an anime fan. This show is an easy 8/10 in my opinion but I gave it 10/10 so its ratings can increase... Probably most of it is because of the main character being an "adult" pig with some perversions who travels with a teenager. Unfortunately, no one is smart enough to understand that if something like this bothers them, then they shouldn't even watch anime likes this in the first place. |

| so much dark vibes from this show .. but this show totally deserved attention because plot story is really good than you though !! |
| Is it just me or is this anime called "pig's liver"? As in the organ my good friends Jack Daniel and Jim Beam decided to murder? |

| Personally I didn't "hate" the anime but I was definitely turned off by the "title" having "Pig's Liver" in it....I mean the only reference to the title that I recall at the moment is the MC eating Pig's liver before he died/Isekai'd? I don't know if the source material ever brings it up again but that's gotta be one of the most random unexplained titles ever... I also personally have never eaten "pig's liver" but it sounds unappetizing to me...which piles on the negativity (in terms of first impressions) But I managed to give the anime a chance, I'm sure there were probably others that had the same beforementioned mindsight but decided not to give it a chance. |

| Majority of the western audience doesn't have enough critical thinking to disagree with western influencers. They are afraid to like things that aren't trending. It is demonstrated by their anger/dislike claims having no personal substance. Never their own thoughts - just echoes. Just hypothesizing that it could also be that as western media in general is going down the drain. Those who stigmatized anime throughout their life are more and more being guided into anime as the alternative entertainment, yet they cannot admit to others or themselves that they now like it. So by peer pressure and guilt they follow the loudest bunch and end up rating everything low. Another option is that perhaps many just aren't grasping the story beyond the pig element? Many don't reach beyond it by prior influence and many just don't. If most people would think deeply of things, the world would probably go to sh*t. :b |
| Probably a lot of edgelords looking at the English title "I want to eat your liver" and thought it was a horror show. The literal translation of the Japanese title is "cook the pig liver" so they thought they were watching something totally different. |

Cooking method and style, as always, plays a big role in how appetizing or not it can be, like anything else, but overall it has a much more gamey (gamey in a negative way) concentrated iron taste to me than poultry ones like chicken liver, duck liver, and goose liver; or calves' liver or even regular mature beef liver when the latter isn't burned or boiled to death. All organ meats, regardless of the animal they belong to, to some extent taste like the function they perform in the body, either in traces fleetingly or overwhelmingly in an overpowering way. Liver is tasked with filtering all the blood, blood is iron-rich, and partly as a result of that the taste of liver from all animals in all styles can have an undercurrent of a metallic iron taste. Just like pig kidneys can still taste faintly of urine and pig intestines...you don't want to know. |

| @WatchTillTandava Personally the only liver I've ever eaten was cow liver (I think) and it was definitely dry/"gamey"/a mouth full of iron like you say. 'course the restaurant that I tried it at served it like a huge chunk like they thought it was a slab of steak which I'm sure didn't help with the taste.... Clearly the skill of the cook probably also affects whether the things tastes good, decent, or bad as well but my first impression of "eating liver" personally bombed after that and I don't dare try it (anything with "liver" in the name) again unless I see a picture of the dish beforehand that looks appetizing or I'm starving and there's no other choice. But again, other's might not have experienced it and STILL get turned off. For some context I really like eating Cow stomach lining and Chicken Feet/claws....I know some people merely cringe when they hear "chicken claws???" without even giving a chance to look at the dish. Anyhow....starting to go off topic a bit lol.... The TL;DR is due to some cultures and/or how people eat things when growing up...some stuff just automatically sounds off putting than other things. |

| about MC being a pig ... it's ok if someone doesn't like it but hate is not acceptable! about hating fan service.... Because most of them are brainwashed by.......... and they are proud of it! if you say something else you are a bad guy / nazi / virgin / ETC! I just want to remind them It's just an entertainment product and even voice actors are adults! no need to be mad! |

| Cus the perverted pig as the male lead is giving anime watchers too much realism and PTSD. |
| Keep scrolling |
| I've got two main issues. One, it's disjointed. The setting is interesting, particularly for the low standards of isekai, but what does the whole pig reincarnation contribute to it? Why mix it with a psychic maid fetish? What can possibly make it sensible to spend part of every episode looking at a weird ostrich face? The pieces don't appeal to the same interests and mix poorly together. Two, the characters just aren't fun to follow. I'd like to see how the setting resolves, but that's all. The time spent with the characters between revelations feels like a delay. More compelling personalities could make a dark setting like this so much more emotional. Or at the very least the developments could be sprinkled more evenly. |

@CreeperGames Ya I respect your opinion but we all are somewhat pervert, some people show it, some people hide it. It doesn't makes us bad if we have lewd thoughts.
Also I think this anime did really great in every other aspect from music to animation to world building, so we should not focus on MC too much.....

I agree with the fact that apart from the MC, the anime is great. At first, I gave the anime a 2 because I couldn't find something good about it. In the 3 last episodes, it became more interesting, so I raised my score, and I will raise it again depending on the final episode. But it is awkward to watch such an anime with an MC that can't control himself. You better hide your feelings when you behave like him.
Overall, the anime is indeed fine, the story is great, and the environment (musics, landscapes, etc) is beautiful.

I have read the LN up to volume 7 and there wasn't, and won't have, any NTR / MC getting cucked in the entire story. Where did you get that idea from?
| @Kinofhera it's the usual puritan shit, they feel their waifu got soiled for the silliest of reasons |
| bruh |
| Three hypothesis: (1) The most obvious one is that the MC is a pig. People can´t accept that regardless anything else, specially when intimately/affectionately interacting with female characters. (2) Low production value. In general, I think the anime is not bad and got an interesting story and likeable characters. On a personal level, the one that hit me harder was (3). I wasn´t caring for (1) cause he was a good pig/human(?) xD and he cares for her. The (2) wasn´t much a problem in every episode, but in specific episodes from the 2nd half, that was when it hit harder. |

For the love of god that's called a break-up!
Do you actually know what does NTR mean? Stop spreading incorrect information if you have no idea what you are talking about.
| @Kinofhera Its funny how he said weak MC where in reality the strong one is the one who can let go, move on and double it to the next person. |
