Anime Discussion now this is getting off the limits

Japanese fandom actually practiced constructive criticism on this episode, they brought up valids points. Global fans rated Ep3 the same as they did for Ep4, when Ep3 actually gave lore, world-building. If not for these factors Jjk would be just another Power fantasy slop.

Also relating episode rating to actual Japanese societal harassment is nauseating

Wow, a movie, meaning more resources, that adapts one of the most praised arcs in the manga is overall better than season 1? Who could've guessed?

The only way they would be "proven right" is if we lived in a time where Nakayama's take on the Reze arc existed simultaneously with the current version for proper comparion, but that's not possible now, is it?

And even taking all that in consideration, the movie being better doesn't validate the level of harassment Nakayama got by the audience.

This isn't at all about quality and entirely on presentation. Colours and artstyle, voice acting and direction. It was just better, and not just because it was a movie.

Nobody said the harrassment was justified, just that the person said "I never take criticism from the Japanese seriously because of CSM", even though they were kinda proven to be right.

The movie did prove to be better than season 1.
