| why is the show getting so many low scores? the show is scored under 7. why? it seemed like most people liked it, and the first episode was really strong, so why is the score going down by the day? |

| I don't know what the previous two replies have to to with the question, but anyways. From an other thread on here and I think also a few comments on Reddit, some people HATE the artstyle, because it is a tiny bit similar in animation style to Yuasa's more popular works (Devilman crybaby, Night's long walk on girl, ping pong the animation etc.) (Eventhough it is not a yuasa series) which people love to hate on. On top of that it's a vampire show which some people also hate with a passion for whatever reason. |

| ignore the score, this is so far one of my favorite of Spring |
| Wait, something IS wrong. I had rated the first episode a 10/10, but when I came back after episode 2, my score had somehow been deleted without me touching anything. Don't know about you guys, but I am going to change my password and suspect foul play here. |

| If I could be an expert in just one arcane, and madness inducing field of study, it would be you. |
| I noticed it too. Not sure why, but I think it’s just your average case of whining and nitpicking. You really shouldn’t be able to give a score on a show that hasn’t aired a minimum of 4 episodes, since the story hasn’t really had enough time to actually take off yet. |
IMMABEAST said: Because it deserves the low rating, it has Stuning scenery but no substance. Plot feels like it was made during authors 1 minute masturbation than anything thats for people to enjoy. Person above mentioned its source is stage play so it would make sense if its harder to transfer into 12 anime episodes. But if you forget this fact, its just bad writing. There are 2 possible reasons for what you're saying. 1. You didn't understand everything. 2. You just did't like it and know nothing about good or bad writing |

Cinnba said: I didn't think it was awful and I'm definitely not going to rate it until a few episodes later, but I also don't really get why so many people it seems think its a 10/10 first episode. Why did you all like it so much? Just curious, since I probably wasn't paying full attention when I was watching the first episode the direction, music and story telling. spoilers: the way it was told that the vampire was the main character's fiance, was so tragic. also the whole episode felt so poetic, almost like you're watching a play, which is what the story is based of. i don't think the whole series is going to be this good, but as a first episode, it was as good as it gets. even if you don't think it's this good, you can't tell me it deserves a 6.8 |

Why did you all like it so much? Just curious, since I probably wasn't paying full attention when I was watching the first episode May be my theater background, but the presentation and style of our first vampire seemed superbly strong, charming, unique, and entertaining; much like the rest of the first episode. The direction and shot composition (drawing?) is also way better than most seasonal animes care to provide. That, combined with an interesting main character and a mysterious premise, fitting music, and an evangelic story turned monologue of all things, really shouted "this is going to be an interesting ride." Then the second episode came along, and besides adding a little bit of comedy and slowing down the scene-to-scene pacing (while speeding up the rest of the plot), convinced me that the first episode may be a tad above the ones to come, but certainly not just a fluke. That makes me set my expectations for Mars Red at a 10/10 show, though I'll be the one to call it out should it fall below that. Hope that helps as an answer. |

The plot and passing are weird. The only thing good is the animation and style. |
weird doesn't mean bad. it's weird because it flows like a play, which is the source for the anime |

| Both episodes gave me feels...I mean idk what you are looking by saying bad artstyle...really the story is ok that getting lesser than 7 already is actually weird..I at least thought since the art style isn't the best for most peeps its gonna get a 7 but wow... |

ConceitedModesty said: jimfaindel said: same thing actually happened to me, I haven't rated the anime but it was under my watching section 1/13 but when I came here all that disappeared and I had to do it again.Wait, something IS wrong.

Don't know about you guys, but I am going to change my password and suspect foul play here. Same here. I suspect something happened with the system when the air date was changed to April 6th. Pretty sure this was done to match up with the delay of episode 2? Edit: Episode 1's old air date was apparently a pre-screening, hence the change to the official air date. |
| 423 People voted a 1 on the first episode in the poll. That‘s 38 percent. I don’t think it deserves so much hat imo. Probably bots at work? But whatever, i don‘t actually care about ratings. I like it so far. The art style is cool and i think the story is interesting. Will continue watching. |

| I love how people who rate this show low because of the ‘art style’ and the ‘plot’ (it’s literally had two episodes released) but cream their pants over shows like Kimetsu no Yaiba. Not being a hater but kimetsu no yaiba for example hardly had a stellar plot in the first season, generic characters, the crybaby, the one who didn’t seem strong but ended up being strong yet people rate that show SO high because everyone else likes it so they just go with the Crowd. When it comes to slightly less popular shows like this people who are basic ass fanboys hate on them because they’re a bit different and then if one or two people hate on it everyone else jumps on the hate bandwagon. Give it a chance , if it’s a complete dumpster fire by the end of the season then rate it 2/10 but to be such a hater because it’s a bit different two episodes in is just lame IMO. |

You’ve literally just made your mal account and this is the stuff you’re posting? Why don’t you actually type something interesting instead of commenting something pointless. Maybe put up a profile picture too while you’re at it. |

Morsse said: It's probably because many people don't understand the anime yet..I have not watched the manga and tbf, they are talking about a stage performance in both episodes, "Salome", "Jokanaan", I was very confused at first since I had no knowledge of this piece/names.. and to top things off.. before the vampire lady dies in the recent episode, she recites some words from the play aswell, which I assume is Salome.. It seemed like she responded to what Maeda said..They seem to have this thing in common.. Doesn't really make much sense to me for now..Why couldn't he save Misaki? It looked like he knew her..Maybe it has something to do with the real Salome? She didn't want to be alone as a vampire without her love.. so she died, while dancing...Which the real Salome also did while she was dying in the water.. idk.. But yeah, it's still early, people judge things fast af.. or maybe manga readers aren't satisfied..idk The animation though, I like the art style a lot..It looks stunning.. It could do better without the "movie" feeling that the black borders give.. and probably more action/dialogue..I'm not picky so I don't care, but I can see why some people don't like it :) the vampire in episode one was the guy's fiance and she burned because of sunlight since she's a vempire. |

| at this point in life I'm pretty confident that MAL scores are worthless. there are a bunch of 6.5 shows that I enjoyed the hell off of and just as many 8+ I found quite bland. MAL scores don't help at all. |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
| So far it's a great anime. Intriguing plot, vampires, dark atmosphere, good hand drawn art style. Im also suprised by the ammount of low scores. Meanwhile Fumetsu no Anata e have 10/10 reviews ( In a reviews! Not only in discussions which is insane. I think that giving a score after one episode is silly and unfair but giving a REVIEW after one episode is simply retarded). And why is that? One show is overhyped and is based on manga of acclaimed author of Koe no Katachi and another is not. |
| Higher than 6.5 - which is good. The score is normal I think. I mean: There are tons of better anime that have similar problems. Nowadays it is getting harder to reach a 7.xx. 6.xx is not as bad as you think. 10 years ago maybe it was bad - when most stuff still got 7.xx. Now the 6.xx is the regular score for showas that are okay without having any major good stuff. |

| I've just dropped it after the 3rd episode, since I don't have much time to watch too many shows. I can't really put my finger on it but the show was just kind of boring. |
Nothing's new under the sun and that's OK. |
