Fans think the score will change when the finale of the season is out.
Ishura had quite a controversial beginning. Not because it’s problematic or because the story is boring or too confusing, but rather because of the storytelling.
Unusual storytelling
The first episodes of the series used a rather unusual strategy: the series spent episodes on introducing characters individually, instead of providing a united story for all of them.
This approach took a lot of fans off guard, as they couldn’t comprehend what was going on and had their doubts about worldbuilding. However, as they understood where everything was going, they started enjoying the series and even thought that this storytelling method was not so bad.
It is refreshing that Ishura doesn’t have a main protagonist, and instead of it, the viewers got the chance to experience and explore the strength of each character individually. It’s like they’ve been given a choice of whom to root for instead of being forced to take just one person’s side.
Are you enjoying the way Ishura’s story is told?
It didn’t work for everyone
But such a strategy wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and a lot of viewers blamed Ishura for being confusing and inconsistent. They were also not big fans of some of the characters, and didn’t want to watch their stories for entire episodes.
All of that affected the scores of Ishura a lot, and if you go to MyAnimeList, you will find that this series is 6.54/10 there, which is a comparatively low rating. Fans admit that Ishura is not a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, but it at least deserves to be rated 7. Or maybe even higher.
No reason to be upset just yet
Fans believe Ishura has been done dirty and the anime is highly underrated, but we believe there’s no reason to be anxious or upset for now. It’s a common practice that viewers would rate a series only after finishing it (and, to be honest, we think this is the only way it has to be done), and Ishura is still ongoing.
Episode 12, the last one, will air on March 20, 2024, and the situation will probably change then. There’s still a chance that the finale of the season will impact the opinion of many, and force them to change their score. And those waiting for the season finale to rate Ishura will finally do it.
On top of that, there are plenty of people who don’t even rate series they watch at all, that’s why one should never fully trust online scores, even on such immensely popular websites as MAL.
This series deserves more.
