The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity
| Seriously, nearly a 9 for the millionth "delinquent with a heart of gold that is misjudged by others finds a sweet and shy short girl who sees him for what he is and they fall in love" show? Done in the most generic way possible? I understand that manga readers are rating it high, but are anime onlies genuinely amazed by what was shown in the first episode? Was there anything at all that stood out about it? And I don't mean "dw guys it gets better", I mean just based off what is actually shown in the anime. Seriously MAL ratings are awful, you people make it so hard to find an actually good show. |

| Friendly reminder, that hating on popular thing does not make you an interesting person. |

| You’ve been on MAL for over a decade and you still haven’t figured out that early ratings, especially during the first few episodes of an airing season, are almost always inflated? Of course the scores are high, the fanbase is mass rating it. Most anime onlies don’t even bother rating a show after just one or two episodes. You are either one of the most clueless users on mal or you are just rage baiting, im leaning towards the latter. |
| Because people love cute and wholesome stuff especially when it comes to romance. |

Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| You accuse people of superficial judgment, yet you try to destroy the show after watching two episodes. |

people love what they can relate to..
| @0__Dante__0 With all due respect, and I mean this seriously, I am not asking out of hate or anything, but what about this do you relate to? I will 100% believe you if you tell me this story gets so much better, but at least what has been adapted in these first few episodes isn't some deep character exploration. These characters don't even have the necessary chemistry for me to understand what they see in one another. When I watch this, I feel like all this anime is saying is: "Two nice people fit together" |

| To be fair to him, this is a rare level of rating inflation. |

We've been seeing this trend since Demon Slayer if not earlier. |

fenrirr2 said: @Piromysl It is very different, to hate or criticize (though just criticizing is always fine) something, only because it is popular, even though it is a masterpiece by objective merits (like Frieren or AoT), or question the outstandingly high rating of a (at first glance) generic show that just started (like this) or the newest hot shot shounen without any substance (like Solo Leveling, which is an enjoyable show, but no sane person agrees with its current rating). The first group is the contrarians, but the second group doesn't want to hate on the show, just dislike the overhype, overrating and overinflation of shows that doesn't deserve it. The second group often doesn't even hate said show, just value it objectively and therefore lower. In this case to be fair I am actually shocked by the dissonance between my own viewing experience of the show's first two episodes and the anime's and manga's rating. Especially, because based on the manga reviews, the show's strongest points (character writing, character interaction, communication and realism) were my main problems with the first 2 episodes. (The art is obviously gorgeus but that isn't important by itself IMO) I'd say it deserves 8.2 easily, thought MAL ratings hold no value, nor are indicator of quality at all. It should be noted that generic =/= bad and a lot of people seems to have the wrong idea that it is, because it is near impossible to create an anime/manga with tropes that were never used before. It is always about execution and keeping the audience invested and so far this anime is doing it brilliantly. |

| it is overrated but i still can't take posts like this seriously where people say "x is done for the 1000th time" without giving a single other example. at least try. but of course, we'd have to cross check if said titles are even in your list. |

| Where was bro when Mid leveling had 8.9 ratings I didn't see any complains. But as soon as romcom got high rating people lost their shit. |
why is this rated so highly Because it panders the female fantasy: The guy is a handsome and huge protector who looks like a bad boy but is actually gentle and kind-hearted. |

I also found the plot development in the first episode too banal and far-fetched. Moreover, every time a girl appears in the frame, her cuteness is emphasized, and her hair flutters like in the wind, and you think you're watching some kind of parody of romance. I liked the second episode a little more, let's see further, maybe this anime will turn out to be really good. It's obvious that the good ratings were given by fans of the manga, we'll see a rating that more or less corresponds to reality after the end.
| @Volkose The second was better indeed, I’m at least glad I can watch something cute w my bf but I was expecting something else for THAT high a rating. @ryzxgum The entire delinquent sub-genre consists of that trope bro. The first example that comes to mind is My Love Story, but even that parodied the trope. |

| New anime fans have average intelligence and tend to give mid shows 10 easily, they probably haven't watched or read many titles to develop the thing called (taste) also, most ratings here are bullshit because people create multiple accounts just to rate things much higher or lower than what they believe is suitable to manipulate the score and the top anime list |
