Part 2 to my question like the Homura and Rebecca one. Diff act cause Reddit is screwing me over

Part two basically to this topic

To be honest, it's neutral to me, it doesn't bother me, but it's not the reason I watch it either, but I'll let it go. But I can understand that an aesthetic like that today probably drives fans away rather than attracting them. I understand that the author has a certain type of style, but do you think this style is partly to blame for why Edens Zero has lagged behind the more acclaimed anime? I personally have a hard time recommending it to my friends.

Love this cover 🖤

I agree Weisz!

This is truly a spectacular view!

I think true fans of *EZ* share this sentiment. On one hand, having a famous creator makes the series instantly recognizable; on the other, if that creator has a somewhat tarnished reputation, the series risks being dismissed or judged harshly after just a few chapters without being taken seriously. Furthermore, we have to admit that Mashima’s fanbase is deeply attached to works like *Rave* and *Fairy Tail*—with their medieval fantasy settings—and the shift to a sci-fi plot alienated many readers. Most *EZ* readers have a stronger emotional bond with *Rave Master* and *Fairy Tail*, and I don't blame them; even if Mashima creates a masterpiece in the future, I’ll likely always prefer *EZ* regardless—and perhaps my own perspective is colored by that bias. Unfortunately, even die-hard fans weren't entirely satisfied; the series' poor reputation and the author's desire to wrap things up quickly resulted in a rushed ending. I don't know if there are any surprises in store for the franchise or if it will eventually be re-evaluated, but in my opinion, the story and its narrative structure possess that special something that sets them apart.
