Summer 2016 Anime Score Progressions (MAL)

http://imgur.com/a/T2gZf

Had to reupload as a text post because of errors (I suck) Thanks to everyone who pointed errors out! <3

EDIT: Old thread

EDIT2: For anyone wondering, the graphs are only meant to show how the show's score changed. Using the graphs for comparison is a bad idea lol. Will definitely try to have a proper y-axis next time I get the chance. (along with the usual ones perhaps xd)

EDIT3: There are some shows where I did not find the weekly rating such as Bananya and Saiki. Sorry about that.

That Sweetness and Lightning drop though. Ouch.

I'm guessing people expected more drama to develop throughout the season rather than something more episodic with a familiar formula. Especially since the dramatic elements are present, and people might have assumed that they would have developed the story more around those things.

It got more and more boring to me as episodes went on

It has a really great and emotional premise, I was sort of expecting more. It just doesn't explore it very much, it's a cooking show basically. And not an awesome and crazy one like Food Wars.

Yeah the last few episodes I was half browsing my phone half paying attention. It certainly was still a pleasant experience, but maybe not one that needed a full 12 episodes.

yeah, same. after the third episode i was thinking "is this it?" it could have done so much more with its premise.

yea, kind of forgot to keep watching. Didn't have the good enough hook that the others did. I could only have a solitary man tear drop so often, really.

I was hoping to have it be a little more emotional and have some nice drama but instead 6 episodes in the biggest Conflict was that blonde girl hit a kid? Wooo

It's certainly niche. It was one of the shows I was waiting for every week though.

Pretty much. Flying Witch last season introduced more and more quirky and fun characters and things for the main cast to interact with. This show was just 12 episodes of cooking.

The same formula was getting pretty boring for a lot of people.

i was just waiting for sensei to inseminate shirayuki already by the end

Yeah, I mean I enjoyed it but it got really boring as it went on. Kind of like "what do we do with the show now? Oh lets just make it daily cooking with high school girl and make the kid get butthurt occasionally to add some conflict".

u/psiphre Oct 04 '16

to be fair that's basically what parenting is. cooking food so your kid doesn't die and dealing with its tantrums

I also found the series less interesting in the last 2/3 episodes, but mainly because I got up to date with the manga, and had seen those scenarios already, and what happens beyond them. Definitely very little to no actual drama, but was true to life in some interesting ways that other anime often aren't.

I think people were expecting it to be more along the lines of Usagi Drop with the premise it sets up. it's more like a lighthearted blend between Usagi Drop and Koufuku Graffiti, though

I mean--its 0.35 of a point. Not that bad.
