Bulletje76 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) I often see unexpected scores on crunchyroll. What is that about? I mean i know i have sometimes a weird taste in anime so i get that i like something others dont. But now i started watching Teogonia. Only 1 episode is out and people score it a 3.6/5 How is that possible after 1 episode? I mean the graphics are okay. No very annoying MC or weird music. As far as the story, well we need more episodes to decide. So why the low score? Is that because some people are anti a certain anime company? Or is it because the anime doesnt look like the manga that they liked? Anyone knows? Edited April 14 by Bulletje76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I've not seen the series in question, but I don't think 3.5/5 is a low score for a first episode. Who assigns the scores? Is it us viewers and I've missed something somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the 250+ shows i seen on CR, maybe 3 or 4 were lower dan 3,5. And the show was absolute trash, So my theory is that this show will get a better rating after a few episodes when more people vote. But somehow i have the feeling people vote low on first episode for other sentimental reasons. Like not liking the company that made it, e.g. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a series should be judged by it's quality not by who made it. But I guess that's human nature for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have never thought of this until i saw those comments more and more on myanimelist. A reply like "come on guys, i know studio X has let us down the last few shows, but dont downgrade this new show for that reason". I saw it more and more. Or a reply from people who really were a fan of the manga and felt let down (even do the show diverted from the maga it was still good). BUTTT after 1 episode must be a new record hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickett Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Strong opinions of a first episode would indicate a prior knowledge of the series, so as you mentioned, people who have read the manga and have a certain level of expectations. For people going in blind it would have to be a CGI wreck to rate it so low, I didn't even rate Ahiru No Sora that low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than 1 ep is still to early to judge I understand the point though. I can understand that people who love a manga want the anime to be like that and follow the story etc. But than again,..why must an anime always be like the manga? I can just read the manga itself. Isnt it better if the anime is slightly different so you see something new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Wait, you can rate things on Crunchyroll?? We use the app on our PS5 and I haven’t even been able to find a like button lmfao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adapting a manga, which is generally created by a single mangaka, and not sticking to the source material is ludicrous in my opinion and I'd say that sentiment is shared by most anime enjoyers. When you adapt a book into a movie and you have to cut parts out to fit a story into the 2 hour timeframe or something of that nature it's one thing, but when you can animate an entire story and you choose to butcher the creator's vision it's just disrespectful. Also you can take Berserk for example, by episode 1 every fan of the manga knew it was going to be trash because of the CGI. 20 minutes ago, Colu said: Wait, you can rate things on Crunchyroll??

Very helpful, thanks! I might have to go on the website one of these days just to give ratings to some of the stuff we watch haha. I don’t think I’ve seen the option on the PS5 app, but I could have also missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The star review should be visible on a desktop viewing as a guest and then when you're logged in you can interact with it. This star system also exists on the CR app when logged in.

Skin Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Doesn’t seem like a low score to me, even then maybe people are just being liberal with the first episode to wait and see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickett Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 There's something that's triggering this spread, that's for sure. Could be manga bias, less/more humor than there should be, misrepresented MC, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So must be me haha Fans of it's manga are complaining that the humor isn't nearly as prevalent in the anime as it is in the manga, and while it may seem minor to someone who's never read the manga, it's a pretty big deal to the established fanbase. A lot of times these things work themselves out over time too. Also, is Teogonia an Isekai? I saw on Reddit that it was considered as such but wasn't sure how true it was. If it is, and CR doesn't have it listed in it's genre list, then that could play a part in it's lower reviews as well. If I turn on an anime not labeled Isekai and then half an episode later realize I'm watching a harem I leave immediately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
