I was worried after seing the low score... But seeing 1st episode I believe only some people have read the manga
Shadows House
| The manga is a gem no doubt and if adapted properly it's an 8 pointer minimum. So, seeing it at 7.38 is a shocker. I got the neverland s2 feels on seeing the score tbh!! But the 1st episode was a decent adaption (apart from the spoilery things). So, it just seems manga is not as popular as I thought it to be and people are rating it just based on ep 1. Hope, clover work doesn't mess this up like Neverland. This is AOTS candidate. |

| Also, the pacing seems to be 6 chapters per episode. Hope they don't pace it faster than this at least. |

| I'm thinking of getting into this anime, I haven't read the manga but plot is promising. Can you tell me how was the adaptation for it? Was it good because 6 chap/ep is a lot. |

The adaptation is good they also managed to keep the style of the manga. For this manga, each chapter has 10-15 pages. I didn't feel they rushed pacing or anything |

Yeah, I found the pace perfect. But if they increase it further, it might be problematic. Hope they keep it at 5/6 chapters per episode. Each chapter is around 12 pages (while a normal manga would be 20-25) So it's like adapting 3-3.5 chapters roughly. And the manga is wonderful. Rather than being like Death Note/TPN which catches attention from the beginning, this one builds mystery and thus gets better with each passing chapter/episode. Hence you might observe the low rating of 7.38 when it really deserves much more. The fact that the manga is not popular means its rating will evolve pretty much as an anime original would. The only difference is we manga readers already know this one is amazing. |

PringleLee said: Low score? Since when is a 7.38 aggregate a low score? 7 means good and it's 7.38 so it's slightly better than good, but not very good. A low score is 5 and below. Also the true score of a show only comes after finishing. I mean look at Neverland S2 started as an 8.something and then it dropped. It also helps to look at what that aggregate score consists of. What did most people give it? Usually good mangas start with a good score unless the adaption is messed up. 7.38 is a low score for a good manga/anime. 7 means good means nothing, it's an ideal yardstick who no one uses. So a score of 7.38 for a good manga means 1. Poor adaption 2. No hype for anime I am happy it seems case 2 is applicable here. Anyway I am pretty sure it would be 7.8 by episode 5/6. |

| There's definitely, sadly, not much hype for this show, at least on MAL (hopefully it does better in Japan). I've began reading manga right away and ep 1 consists of chapters 1-7, though anime added a bit more content here and there. Manga chapters aren't that big (yet at least), so they may adapt all the aired chapters if the series has 13 eps. |

| Acting like the score is 5 |

| Because its "boring slice of life". Honestly, I don't even know why I enjoy this. It kinda feels like a drug, its extremely enjoyable but I don't even know why myself. Like if someone asks me "why do you like this?" I won't be able to answer that. |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |

Eat ass and spew sass! |
| I'm not surprised. It's a deceptive story, that starts pretty slow and takes its time to unfold. When I started reading the manga I remember its score was barely above 7, now it's already at 8 (still a very low score imo, but welp, it's getting there). I'm kinda disappointed with how they started the first episode though. The score will probably go up as more episodes come out, provided it's a good adaptation. I can already imagine the kind of discussions and comparisons this anime will draw in the next few weeks. AnimeLeviathan said: Because its "boring slice of life". Heh. |

| It's at a 7.45 (look how much it bumped since you started the thread). For a new anime that has no sequels and isn't a super hyped manga that is pretty typical and not bad at all. If the series continues to be good the score will climb. Also like some have said is it really bad it is 6 CH? If it's like 10 pages a chapter that is half what the average weekly manga usually has and most anime adaptions adapt 3-4 chapters an episode. Regardless I didn't feel it was rushed at all. |

No, even if they keep the current bit too fast pace of 7 chapters per ep they will reach chapter 70, if they wanted to reach chapter 96 they'd have to cut out a lot and then I think there is nothing else for us to do than to cancel studio cloverworks forever. Fortunatley, based on op and ed, it really looks like it will end at the end of debut arc or shortly later |

| I'll be honest, saw this coming way before I see any numbers. Why? Because it starts out a bit slow (and this was inevitable, even I felt that with the manga). However thanks to cloverwork not sticking in too much with Kate and Emilico part and utilize that with only the first episode, next one will take off with showing the world of shadow house and every other characters which is where the fun begins. From there I'm very certain the ratings will gradually goes up, so keep up your hopes for now. |
PkmnLovar said: I don't know much about the concerns of pacing. The manga itself kinda speeds past a lot of things. I think it's fine, especially since it'll probably slow down a bit after the next episode because simply put, there's just a lot going on in pretty much all of the chapters past 8. Yeah, that's why I hope they slow it down to 5 chapters per episode or atleast not > 6. Although I found ep 1 adaption to be great |

| I don't even see the purpose of rating an anime series anyway until it's completed and you yourself have seen it in full. Rating any series after the first episode stands out as especially ridiculous and meaningless. |
| You don't need to read the source material to give score to an adaptation. If it gets better, the score will go up. Stop being obsessed with scores. |
The_Ruise said: Anything over an 8 is usually reserved for the crazy-popular mainstream stuff like shounen (with some exceptions but basically the stuff that draws in a lot of viewers) isn't it? Some really enjoyable anime that I've seen are rated lower than 7. 7.38 is fine. People who view ratings so strictly are not going to have a good time on MAL. Scores do not dictate quality. Some of MY all time favorites are rated 6-7, and that's their loss, I say. And yet we have Code Gayass as one of the top rated animes here.... numbers mean jack shit. |
| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
