I'm just so tired of people overusing the word mid for every single anime. Like, it can be an amazing anime, but people will still claim it is mid or that it would be mid if something didn't happen or stuff like that. It's just annoying, I would love to go back in time to when people wouldn't use or would use this word almost never.

Just because it’s an amazing anime to you doesn’t mean it’s not mid.

It doesn't matter what people say if you think it's a great anime, that's ok, but it's also ok if this anime is mid for someone else, that's their opinion.

That's not even the point. It's the fact that people keep on using this term all the time to all animes. It's overusing. It's getting annoying.

I don't think this is anything worth getting your panties in a wad for. People will say things you don't like on the internet and there's nothing you can do to stop them. And I think we are all well aware that it's not really a word to be used seriously. And for anyone not already aware, they probably won't be changing their ways anytime soon.

Yeah. People shouldn't be afraid of using the word "trash", even when it's about highly acclaimed anime. But instead they use "mid" (= a bit better than bad) just because the production value is above average.

"Mid" is enough to discard someone's opinion. The way it is used can mean anything from mediocre to completely shit so it has no value.

I’m sure it’s not one person but multiple. People have opinions just because you don’t agree with them doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. You might think that it’s overusing but the difference with making a long paragraph is that it saves space.

To be fair, it´s statistically more reasonable to call everything mid than amazing.

But yeah. The real problem is not the word "mid" itself, but people not being able to express themselves.

yeah, like people are so scared of using "bad" or "trash" or stuff like that, if they dont like it, just say it. mid is suppose to be something not good nor bad. just mid, in between. but people keep on using it for literally everything.

actually no. i was just looking through MAL and was hit with 30 different posts about different animes calling all of them mid (even saying that if they took out the main character of the show it would be mid, like... of course??? its the main character??? does anyone think an anime would be good without the main character kkkkkkkkkkkkk) people just dont get how to use the word mid and its using for everything. there's nothing wrong to think something is mid, but to call everything mid... lack of expression i'd say lol

There are tons of adjectives for describing "mid" stuff, like underperforming, disappointing or dowright bad, trash, garbage, horrible, uninteresting, boring, meh, pointless... Please, many of these aren't even obscure words.

Dude, first, shut the fvck up, and listen. What I said is that people are using this word again and again, like a fucking robots, without being able to express themselves. if they think something is shit, just call it shit instead of mid. learn how to use other words instead of repeating itself again and again. your comment was so damn stupid that now i'm sure that half of this site is made by people who can't even think straight. go back to school, because i'm not the kid here, dumbass

EXACTLY! like, i see the other comments and they simply dont get the point of: mid is being used wrong, and in such a repetitive way that now everything is mid. people dont know how to express themselves and thats horrible!

right? and there are so many other words you can use as avarage, normal, so-so, ordinary, regular, standart, passable, usual, unexceptional... like, you just need to go to google and type "avarage synonyms" and you get so many ways to describe an anime in a better way

There are also times when a reviewer needs to use "overrated" in reviews, but you apparently hate that word, so why get so heated?

Agreed. Mid is very overused and it's just another lazy way for people to call something "bad" without giving any actual reasoning. Or at least that's how it seems to be used a lot of the time, instead meaning "avergage" like it's suppose to mean. Which is neither good or bad, just right in the middle, hence "mid". But I shouldn't be surprised a term born from the internet is also misused by the internet.

Who cares what other people say. Every single anime will have people call it mid regardless how good or bad it is.
