| Hello fellow fans/watchers of Arata Kangatari! I just found this anime today , and when I started watching the 1st episode of it , it really gets me and intrigued me a lot , and thus without noticing it I already watched 6 episodes , haha. Now , my main-point here is that I really wonder why many people rate it low. (Reminder : I AM JUST WONDERING OKAY) To me , the opening and ending theme are both really cool and catchy , the story , well even though there's a minor part which is quite cliche its still being enjoyable or at least to me . The characters was okay , the way the producer/oc wants to portray the important point in this anime which is 'betrayal and trust' flows really well too.The art / animation is really amazing , a typical 2013 anime. For now , let me repeat , for now I rate it 10/10.Biggest reason is that I just happen to find this anime suite my taste :) Therefore , I would really appreciate if you , fellow watchers/fans share your thought on this anime with your score and reason , I just want to know thats all xD P/s: I really hope that this anime have a second season and will be up to atleast 24 episode..if its really 12 episodes only then I can predict its ending and might drastically drop the score to 7 (depends on the ending) I have high expectations on this anime , I really hope it won't 'betrays' my hope . HAHA! |

| I find it a bit boring. for now it's 6/10. |
| 講廢話,被撞到. |
| I haven't scored this yet but I would probably give it at least a 7, so far. 7 is NOT a low score, it just seems that way..I can't speak for the other people, but for me, the first episode was interesting and had a great hook, but the next few episodes were not too entirely exciting. I don't know why I didn't find it exciting, but it reminded me of how I tried to read the manga a few years ago but couldn't get into. I thought maybe watching the anime would motivate me to pick up the manga again, but I guess it just hasn't fully appealed to me yet. However, I did like the last two and half episodes. It's enjoyable as you say, but nothing too special yet. Maybe a huge part as to why the anime doesn't fully click with me is because the characters aren't anything special. I'm more interested in seeing the other Arata. I don't find the animation too amazing either, it's pretty mediocre? Or maybe I just don't like the character designs, the noses look weird at times (but of course I'm just nitpicking). You said you rated it a 10/10 so far because it suits your taste, and I guess there's your answer. Arata Kangatari may not suit everyone's tastes, therefore, they rate it lower. It can also be a difference in individuals' rating system. Some people are harsher, others are not. ^^ I would like for this to be a longer series though, since there are so many chapters out and the manga is still running...seems like if they just stopped at 12 episodes, nothing will really be solved. |
| It was an okay anime imo, I enjoyed the story watching the first episodes but I don't appreciate how it's being developed. I didn't read the manga though... |

But this level of fantasy adventure can be found in other already existing anme. I think it's short of something by today's standard. Perhaps it would've got the higher score if it had been released a few years before. Just my opinion. Nah , I believe myself as not demanding . Anyway , thanks for sharing me your thoughts :P |

| I find the anime pretty boring, but that's just me. The characters act was wimpy throughout the whole series and still is (I hate this in MC's.) The plot is okay, but nothing amazing and yeah... I'm probably only watching this still because I want to see the fighting and stuff. Another thing is that comparing this to other types of genres with the same stuff it falls in comparison of bringing emotion and the such. I'd rate it around 4.5-5. If I were to use my old rating scale prob a 7, where I took enjoyment into account for the majority of my score (Being generous since I've only joined episodes 4-6 so far. |

| The anime has been pretty boring and generic from the beginning. I had high hopes when he took that one prison guy's sword and soul. But nothing has really happened since then. I have it at a 6 or 5, I'll see how it ends. |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| Most of people find this show boring. In my opinion, I love it. The plot it's something that runs somewhat low at beginning but after that, it turns better. It's an enjoyable show, and characters design it's okay. That's my personal opinion, if people think otherwise, that's totally respectable. Each one with their tastes. |

| I have it as a 6. I try to follow what MAL has meaning 6 is fine (not particularly good or particularly bad- just fine and watchable). After seeing episode 7, I might lower it down. I wrote some of my thoughts on that episode discussion and I no longer think it's just fine, it's been quickly boiling down to average (5). Of course my final score will be when it ends but I really don't see this picking up a lot from this point. Oh and I don't think it's boring, it's just that I want to slap the majority of the characters. :x |

| Thanks for being so nice guys! I love to read your thoughts xD parfaited said: Oh and I don't think it's boring, it's just that I want to slap the majority of the characters. :x Haha yeah me too! after watching episode 7 I found the anime to be...what can we say...hmm , 'less attractive' perhaps? anyway I'm rooting for it! but seriously 12 episodes is just...predictable , I mean the outcome/last episode @ episode 12 . Anyway , let us see how 'this'(12 episodes) story ends. p/s: it would be amazing if theres a second season...lol early hopes.Guess I really like the animation. |

flamingo-chan said: It's practically impossible to hope for a 2nd season, the anime is doing very bad in sales. This manga is longer than Fushigi Yugi or Magi (Magi is published in the same magazine as Arata) but the sponsors decided to give it just 12 episodes unlike the previous 2. Akachi's arc is the last arc out of the 5 Elemental Shinshou but the anime is going to focus on him now and Hinohara's teacher who sometimes tells him things about Tsukuyo and motivates Hinohara doesn't appear in the anime. The order of arcs in the manga until Akachi arc: - Story of both Aratas (including the whole story about Arata being bullied which was glossed by the anime) and their exchange - Judgement and Gatoya - Other Arata in school - Akachi massacring Kannagi's men and stealing Homura - Kannagi joins - Kadowaki chapters - Little kid mini-arc - Other Arata and Kadowaki chapters with Six Shinshou on the move Putting the rest ones on spoiler tag Thats a very nice deduction! it will be sad if there will be only 12 episodes gonna be aired..we won't get to see Yorunami submission which is quite interesting D: Haha I just can hope there will be a new studio producer take over . LOL xD |

| it's ok feels rushed (manga reader can confirm this) and the animation is meh. Could have been something really interesting if the studio was serious about it. |

I'm actually being nice. I actually have nothing good to say about this show other than a way to kill 20 minutes and everything else that come to mind are all negatives. |

I think I understand quite a bit why you went with that score...Like me I only give this show a rate of 10/10 when I've finished watched 6 episode ..my level of excitement was slightly decreasing as of onwards and that I've got to be honest :P but meh , I still enjoy the anime anyway so I guess I'll see it to the end xD |
