I heard many good things about 91 Days and was keeping it as a show to marathon once it's finished. Someone explain what happened? It got praised so much, and the opening is beast as hell. Was there an unpopular development? A favorite character killed? A jealous troll down rating it? How could it (almost) rate on the very bottom?

Are you confusing 91 Days with DAYS? The former is still 5th in the cumulatives, though it's dropped to middle of the pack for the weekly. I'm still giving it pretty high marks, but some people have felt like it's not quite living up to the first episode.
DAYS was never that strong, but it's had some serious mood swings in the weeklys.

Yeah, it's still in the top 5 in a season full of high ratings, so it's not like it's taken a nosedive or anything. The reason newer episodes are rated lower than older ones, however, is largely twofold. The biggest problem is the production values, which are shaky. Lots of off-model animation and some awkward artwork or brown-on-brown color choices in the worst spots. Second biggest problem most people seem to have is Fango, who's become a central character in the story and has a more batshit cartoony persona than some would prefer. It's like if The Godfather or Goodfellas had bits and pieces from a Coen Brothers movie thrown in, so it can get a little dumb and goofy in bits and bobs. |

Don't forget Mob Psycho 100 taking a nosedive with this one while its overall ranking goes up. (If anyone here has played Super Mario Maker, it feels as difficult to figure out as how that game classifies difficulty.) The next episode of One Piece did a lot better in user reviews though, so expect it to not be struggling at the bottom the next time.
Look at Food Wars. That show's rankings seem made of steep peaks and valleys. (Oh wait, you mean cumulative. Nevermind.) |

Mob Psycho's cumulative stayed the same from last week, not up. I expect both to go down next week as this week's is less well rated (but still 4.2, up from when I last checked).

Tappei Nagatsuki himself is a part of the Re:Zero anime team, its why Light novels and the Web Novel for the series have slown to a crawl in terms of release. And no, its not maladaptive. It's similar to how some of the differences in Attack on titan are compared to the manga in the how the creator prefers the anime of the portion of his own work. Nagatsuki must feel the same, as he has stated that Arc 3 was a transition period for the web novel at first before the tone of the series was finally set by the end of it. |

Asura, Gina was being sarcastic. She was referring to someone who is well-known for complaining (unreasonably) about adaptations across numerous series.

My bad. The TL was short for translation, as I was translating for zrnzle500, who said he didn't understand what Dayblack's second sentence meant. Translation is always subject to error, but I believe I got the original sentiment essentially correct, even if I disagree with it.

Of course Re:zero is at number 1 lol might be best anime of the year. GREAT JOB by TSE the show was moving pretty slow at first but now it's getting great. Definitely disappointed in Beserk and Alderman.... and Taboo Tattoo had the potential to be a great anime but it doesn't seem like they are interested in that lol.

I can see why for Berserk, even if the current part is good at least, but what specifically is disappointing about Alderamin. Certainly the the last one in this ranking was weaker, but hardly a disappointment. It still got a 4 and is in line with the second and third episodes' ranks. If that is disappointing perhaps the issue is with your expectations and not the show itself
As to Taboo Tattoo, what makes you say it could be great? The only thing it had was some interesting camerawork. Its writing was always weak, and it seems that goes all the way to the source and not just the anime. With such weak material to work with, the show could only aspire to be good not great, and I don't really see where the anime staff could have changed that without major changes that probably would not have been approved by the mangaka. |
