There are also people like me and many others who love cute characters but still aren't amused by KnK.
I was simplifying, but yes certainly. If I liked every show with a cute girl in it, I'd like... well just about every show, and that's definitely not the case. I just wanted to say that sometimes people try to put a square peg (their tastes) in a round hole (other people's tastes) when it comes to explaining why something "is good".
I think the problem is something symbv pointed out in another thread (buddy complex I think). Some people either unintentionally or intentionally use language that suggests they are using some kind of objective standard (e.g. it is "good") when describing their own personal preferences. It might be better if they used language like "I enjoyed it" or "I found it interesting" something along those lines. Then it becomes clearer that you are describing your opinion.
Dec 9, 2013 1:25 PM by Hahalollawl
Keep in mind that "good" is completely a matter of your own subjective preferences. If someone doesn't care about cute characters, then trying to convince them Kyoukai is good because Mirai is cute will obviously not get you anywhere. Everyone wants something slightly different from each show. We can't apply our tastes to other people and expect the same result.
I'm not watching much this season but in my opinion Kill la Kill, Kyousou Giga and Non Non Biyori are in completely different league than KnK. Kuroko no Basuke 2, Magi S2, Nagi no Asukara, Valvrave 2, Hajime no Ippo - Rising are also much better.

Why is Kyoukai no Kanata so unpopular? It's easily one of the best shows this season.
To sum it up from what I've watched of it, it's pretty much all flash with zero substance.
What do you mean? While its plot isn't the best by any means, it isn't bad, either. In addition, Mirai is adorable enough that Kyoukai no Kanata would still be one of the best shows of the season even if the plot were terrible.
It's pretty much the weakest Kyoani series ever, the fact that they got a complete amateur as a director is pretty obvious and he screwed up what could have been a very good series. Like you said, it isn't bad but neither is it "the best by any means" and you haven't watch all the shows this season if you think KnK is one of the best shows this season. Best show this season is either Non Non Biyori or Kuroko no Basket S2, there are plenty of shows this season that's better too. There are also a ton of characters this season who are more adorable than Mirai.
The only show this season that's about as good as Kyoukai no Kanata is Non Non Biyori. How are any other characters this season more adorable than Mirai? She's basically perfect in that regard.
Dec 9, 2013 10:31 AM by nagatoyuki108
It just makes it SO unbelievably hard to be hopeful for the future if your not into the Non Non Biyori's, Infinite Stratos', Monogatari's or whatever the heck てさぐれ-部活もの translates too of the anime world.
I think I already said I'll consider the theory debunked if Kyokai does what the current predictions say it will but the situation keeps changing. One decent episode and the show has a massive unprecedented reversal of fortune albeit mostly for the first two volumes.
Its not always easy having to argue with 5+ people all at the same time and having to remember what each specific persons little tiff and specific points are. Frankly I'm not seeing too many facts beyond the never been in the top 100 overall thing so much as personal petty bullshit. I'm also sorry but I refuse to cow to pressure by numbers telling me what an awful and wrong person I am. I agree its time for a breather now to let everyone and myself cool off for a bit, but that's about it.
I don't think I'm the person being delusional here when I've made that specific benchmark multiple times You can't claim somebody is doing something if you know....they aren't.

Amazon version is falling while regular version jumped almost 1000 spots in last 24h. Does volume can run out of stock few weeks even before release?
Dec 9, 2013 6:46 AM by Ulrihs
^ But Kyoukai no kanata is better than all of them. It is projected to sell 5,000+ by the time it is released. Those other shows will not even make it to 3,000.
It has a event ticket. V2 is projected to sell a lot less.

Oh Samurai Flamenco and others that sell below Kyoukai are good in their own way. But not good enough to sell discs. Shows that sell above it are good and good at selling discs. You have to consider the market or the bonus stuff they put into those.
I don't argue with that. It was obvious since episode 3 or so that Samurai Flamenco doesn't have the thing to pull disc buyers. I never argued with that. I thought you were saying that shows like Samumenco and Nagi no Asukara are not as good as Kyokai no Kanata because Kyokai will sell more discs. My mistake.

I can't believe I'm saying this but just because something sells so much, it doesn't mean the 'other shows' like Samurai Flamenco or Yowamushi Pedal aren't as good as that particular show. And vice-versa.
Besides, don't forget that KnK volume 1 has an event ticket so there will most probably be a drop of some sort for volume 2+.

It does to some kinds of people sadly, but honestly I don't care what those kind of people think really. Besides almost all the shows I really like sell terriblly cause they don't usually appeal to the core otaku audience in Japan anyway (I don't really consider myself otaku in terms of what I tend to look for yet I do enjoy anime) yet it doesn't stop me from finding enjoyment from them and not finding anything to appreciate about some of the best selling stuff out there, but of course there's always exceptions like Gundam UC, Shingeki no Kyojin, Jojo and Yamato 2199 to name a recent few that go on to be big disc sellers.
Anyway point is troll baiting or not which I think that post is, it sucks for the other people that really do base their reception and evaluation of a show off of how well it does or is projected to do in one region disc sales wise. It must be a really hollow experience.

Stalker projections for their initial volumes (2013/12/09):
BD DVD Total Days to release Anime name
2,634 *,*** 2,634 15 White Album 2 (BD only)
1,817 *,819 2,626 *0 Kyousougiga
2,981 *,661 3,642 15 Gundam Build Fighters
*,*** *,*** *,*** ** Diamond no Ace (not on Stalker)
1,709 2,606 4,315 10 Yowamushi Pedal
2,879 1,414 4,293 29 Kyoukai no Kanata
I wouldn't count out WA2 reaching at least 3k, as it seems to be charting well at Gamers... where the Stalker projections are only based on the rankings at Amazon JP, amount of Nico Nico preorders and whether they are BD-BOXes (in the case of Gundam Build Fighters).

I kind of lead more towards White Album 2, Yowamushi Pedal, Ace of Diamond, Gundam Build Fighters and Kyousougiga. All very good in their own way.

Also i thought I remember reading a count where Gundam 00 did better than K-On for disc sales but maybe I'm confusing K-On for Haruhi and 00 for Unicorn. Probably the case.

Well you sort of touched on what I mean. Bare in mind I've only seen a little under half of the episodes because I dropped it at 6 but from those 6 episodes I still have no idea what the story is and the plot is all over the place. Mirai 'cuteness' is part of the flash I'm referring to along with the stunning animation quality, the lack of story progression (whatever the story is) and the plot just being a bunch of seemingly random events makes it lack substance in my eyes.
Either way that was just my own theory on it, it could be for another reason.
