The Art style certainly looks as beautiful as Anohana. And as for why the score isn't higher, its probably because we haven't gotten enough episodes yet. I'm sure it will gain more popularity as the episodes go on.

Yeah it is another Ano Hana but Menma/Manaka isn't dead this time. Or at least not yet.

It isn't as high rated cause there weren't any particularly tearjerking moments yet.

There are only two episodes out so far, I'd actually be more worried if it did have a high score. Let's just wait and see what it does - I think it has a lot of potential, so it might end up being really good.

I can see the whole childhood friends love polygon thing happening and the drama is quite similar. I'm getting really similar feels to Ano Hana when I watch this. I'm hoping there will be tearjerking moments.

Because it's shitty melodrama and all the characters are horrible? That said even the worst anime will get a 7 average score on this site.

Yeah, I also wonder why. But like someone pointed out, maybe it's because it's still only three episodes in. It may take a while to appeal to more people. Also maybe because AnoHana had the less supernatural settings so that the viewers could relate to the characters more easily. (Surely Menma was a supernatural existence, but still more convincing and familiar than marine beings.)

As for comparison, I for one prefer this series to AnoHana coz the characters are junior high-school students so that the impulsive and straightforward temperament of Hikari is more understandable and convincing to me. In other words, when I watched AnoHana, I could not relate to Yukiatsu: he was a high-school student being obsessed with a little girl who passed away many years before. His obsession was not so convincing to me.

Unlike Ano Hana, they aren't crying enough yet. They'll need to cry more and add more melodrama than Ano Hana.

Actually there are a lot of action/ badass anime this season, so people are being skeptical about this show imo. I rated it honestly, and I think it totally deserves a 9 or at least a 8.

But also, WAY BETTER than ano hana.

I'll admit that it reminds me of Anohana, but a similarity in art alone doesn't warrant similar treatment. As for the score, I wouldn't pay it too much attention. Excluding longer running series with no end in sight, no one's going to have a complete picture of this series until it's over, it's still too early form a full and accurate opinion of it.

I love drama. Ano hana and Clannad are not the only drama anime in existence you know.

Can't take the answer seriously, especially from person whose avatar is Senjougahara, the most pandering female character of all time

It wasn't my answer in the first place, I just agreed to it. I don't think you know what the word ''pandering'' means, and if you do please explain how Hitagi is the '' most pandering female character of all time''.

Everybody has different tastes or butthurty needs. I was only moved by Clannad (AND I MEAN MOVED and like life-changing) because of the father-son relationship. Same shit with my dad.

Anyway, I dislike people voting early on and I usually vote til I've seen everything. Give it some time.

No idea. This should be in the 700's at least.

I refuse to compare the two anyways because we're only 3 episodes in and it's already much better then Ano Hana. Ano Hana's drama and romance was forced most of the time.

It just started, so far it's looking great though and is my favourite anime this season. Once it finishes airing the first arc, I would expect an increase in rating, assuming it continues to be amazing.
expecting 8+ if they keep it up! (don't disappoint pls <3)

Because on MAL, most people rank things even before the first episode(i.e. they make up their mind before the first episode is aired), and in particular, in this case, even after the first episode they ranked it on the premise that the MC was a complete ass.

Give it time, it takes a long, long while for people to overcome their preconceptions.

I like GOOD drama, not forced drama. Disliking drama that's badly executed isn't the synonym of "hating" the whole drama genre.

The score is slowly creeping up, it starts at 7,49 in the first episode and now it's 7,70.

YESSSS!!!! It's nice to know that people finally took this show seriously, well deserved Mari Okada, this is what you get when you really put your feelings and imagination when you write a story, combined with a competent director and the studio that cares about their shows, thankyouuu~~~

Because of AnoHana and this have a lot of flaws that people for some reason seem to ignore because they like badly written teenager drama.

Good grief; the damn show isn't even halfway finished and people are giving it 9s and 10s and writing reviews of it. It is your prerogative to give it a 9 or a 10 but these kinds of discussions seem silly when the show isn't anywhere near to being finished. Different people like different genres and I understand that. Still, it is hard to take this kind of thing seriously.

They don't; as you say, it boils down to personal preference. Out of all the things in life to take seriously, this isn't one of them.
