I'm curious.

I've not watched a lot of anime series to completion, and I find I really enjoy Big Order. I like the characters, the love triangle, and supplementing what I find in the anime with the manga. I don't find it hard to follow, and blame a few of the odd inconsistencies (meeting some characters twice, for example) on bad subbing.

The fan service is clunky, but not invasive. The sister complex is also over-rated. He obviously has feelings for girls other than his sister, and I don't think there's non platonic love involved there to begin with.

Granted, I don't speak Japanese, so I rely on the subtitles. That makes it hard to judge the voice acting, other than listening to the emotion in their voices.

I also haven't watched more than about 15 series to completion, so I don't know how to tell if this is a watered down version of something else, but to be fair, that means I judge it on it's own merits.

I enjoy it. If there's another anime in this same vein of post-apocolyptica and special powers, I'm in. Now that I've caught up here, I can't wait to start Another.

Its not the most intellectually stimulating anime out there but it is fun as hell to watch. If you havent watched Niria Nikki you should watch it as it is made by the same person who made big order.

I liked the animation and character art.
I liked the Tsundere/Yandere back and forth.
I liked Dasiy.
I liked how funny the scenes with the MC and the rest of the triangle were.

There was much more I liked than didn't like, and never found myself confused by the plot, even when it tried it's best to confuse me.

It's simply messy, all over the place, and has many plotholes, but yeah I agree it's really fun to watch. Maybe the expectations for this are too high? It's heavily compared to Mirai Nikki after all.

Who said that anime plot should be strict?
This is the same as, for example, criticize Picasso paintings from the point of classicism.
You only fool yourself guys. You need to think outside of the box.

The anime is only good as an unintentional comedy.


The plot and the characters are so hilariously bad that its funny.

I enyoy it a little, most of the time. But when the censorship goes and comes it annoys me so much that I almost end up hating it. If they try to show these scenes, censoring them doesn´t make much sense.

If the anime were good enough to think about watching it when it's uncensored it wouldn't mind.

I'll be just repeating what I wrote in my review, but imo it all comes down to rushed story. If everything was better explained and there was more time to develop characters, I believe it'd be rated much higher. I mean, story itself was far from boring and characters were interesting, so only thing that failed is execution, right?
And tbh I still had fun watching it, so I'll rate it accordingly ^^

Really people were expecting great things out of this because it was made by tje author of mirai nikki?
I though that was the biggest reason everyone was expecting it to suck

> the jazz it self good, but the timing is all over place.. it's can't be count as good point in sound departement.
> animation was okay-ish... some good scane here and there but that's very rare.. CGI also attrocious... i would admit the art is not bad, but not notable either...

Mirai Nikki was at least a very good and entertaining trainwreck,plus it had some good points people will surely like... Big Order is also entertaining to some extent but it has so many plotholes plus bgm is not suited in scenes... it's a big bad mess XD

Never watched Mirror Nicky Minaj. What drew me was the hot dark skinned chick. It seemed like it was going to be somewhat series in the first few minutes but somehow it showed me it didn't have the capacity to execute itself properly. I think what turned me off quickly was the jazz. Don't think most anime can really match with a jazz tune and I feel like it's trying to be some kind of big shit when it does.

What I enjoyed about this anime...

The character designs were really well done, also I thought their names were catchy and easy to remember. Kurenai Rin and Hoshimiya Eiji/Gennai... For example Ive been watching 100 and I don't care enough to remember their names and only Emile/Emilia because the whole female/male thingy.

The voice actors matched their characters better than most anime I have watched. Idk how they managed to pair them.

Well mainly Rin, Eiji, Sena, and Daisy. The other characters didn't stick out as much in VA terms. Every time Daisy talked was pleasant on the ears.

The opening was legit and the ending was quite awesome too. Not many anime shows I end up downloading the op or en but this one I enjoy both to listen too. Never skipping the op theme either...

All that being said the show itself was all over the place, the black in white in the finale seemed out of place and almost like they ran out of budget. The characters had potential but never went any where.

I was only able to not drop this due to the very pretty characters and their amazing VA that fit the characters so well.

... Well, Ace attorney tries to be good, Flying Witch is a really nice slow show. Putting those in a category worse than Big Order is an insult. (Well, pretty much only because of Flying Witch)

I haven't watched Mayoiga or Netoge.

I haven't seen Ace Attorney, but I have to agree about the others. Big Order is a lot of things (incomprehensible, contrived, absurd), but it isn't mediocre. I really enjoyed it. Along with Tanaka-kun and JoJo, it's one of my top 3 of the season.

I dropped Flying Witch from 1st episode. It was so boring for me

Does it get better later ?! I'm not big fan of slice of life anime. Unless something big or dramatic happens, it won't entertain me

Ace Attorney was not bad in the early episodes, but it is started to get boring in later episodes.

If SOL isn't your thing, then there's no need to continue Flying Witch. It's definitely an above average one, that's for sure.

I don't know what people were expecting. The show made it quite clear what it was going to be from episode1 . Anyway, watched it all, 6/10. Do not regeret watching it. The twist in episode 10 was decent. This show is more fun with friends.

Understand the "hate," that's only because you haven't seen anime that are actually good.

Odd.

The 240,000 reviewers rate Anohana as an 8+.

The 355,000 reviewers of Mirai Nikki rate it 8+ as well.

In fact none of those rate below a 7.5

Are all the reviewers wrong? Do you have access to a tiny elite stash of anime that the rest of the uneducated masses couldn't possibly understand or fathom , which influences your crass opinion?

Are you trolling? Or do you genuinely feel that "most" of that list with a few unnamed exceptions is truly trash?

What's -your- favorite anime. I'll start it tonight, with full expectations of a blown mind, if Mirai, Another, Clannad, and Anohana are "pretty fucking bad" by comparison.

His yan/tsundere and his future baby momma are still competing as far as I can tell, and as far as I've read-watched. Perhaps triangle wasn't the right word.

I wouldn't say that, but you certainly must watch more, and more, and more, ok maybe not that much. But there will always be people that label an anime as "shit", "meh" or a "masterpiece that everyone on earth should go and watch". If you liked the anime that's good, if you didn't liked it, that good as well.
And...
yup this anime was shit :p

It's nothing new. People hate anything that is rated higher than their favourite anime.

Well that's what people around here usually say so it must be true.
