nothing new for a director to work on more than 2 projects at the same time. Dont jump to conclusions before much is known...

complains about it having the same director and doesn't take into account that it's a completely different studio.

@V1P3R0P Dude, it's not just about the director, we know WHA's production in general is terrible

Thr biggest threat to the show is the levels of hype building around it. The bigger the hype the larger the crash out. and either way I'm gonna be entertained. if it lives up to the hype then I have a great show to watch and if it flops then I get to be entertained by the die hard manga fans losing their minds like Tbate

@V1P3R0P Fr, I've seen some directors do 2-3 projects in a SINGLE season before. Not to mention that directors aren't always that involved in more time consuming parts of production like animation. Some of them, quite literally just "direct" the projects and that's it. I think it's mostly up to personal preference from director to director.


Overall though I agree, if anything the director is the last thing I would assume would cause delays for this show.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

@Ambeon Absolutely, though in TBATE's case much of the criticism was pretty deserved because it didn't just not live up to the hype it was really truly terrible as far as animation goes. That didn't stop people from review bombing it and rating it the worst Isekai of the season, which it wasn't. But the animation was definitely bad enough to deserve seriously docking points from the show. I'm not one to complain if the animation doesn't look that good, but that one was bad enough that it severely affected the watching experience.


I swear, if this doesn't look anywhere close to as bad as TBATE any complaints are kinda irrelevant. People should give them time and quit doom posting before we have a real trailer to look at.

@MewsicMagic I'm sure it'll look fine, even if it looked like water magician or other generic isekais airing this season i'd be happy with it. Tbate was hilariously bad though. It'd be like a game with it where they would animate a full punch and you'd feel the need to celebrate it.

@Ambeon Yeah, Zom100 for example looked good, it had it's delays, and some later episodes weren't quite as impressive as earlier ones production wise. But they all looked good and even the "less impressive" episodes we're still easily good enough. I don't think there's any reason to worry about the animation, and possibly not even delays either, if BUGFILMS hasn't made a trailer still it's pretty clear they're going to finish this and not repeat the problem of delays during airtime.
