| I'm gonna stay silent (neither defend nor criticise) because there has not been any action scenes yet!! what I liked about episode 1 is the JoJo's like coloring for some shots, use of chibi faces especially scenes involving tatsumaki and the atmosphere it created during the monster meeting!! Really nice for a setup episode even with limited animations. That being said, the ending felt a bit rushed when gyoro gyoro asks those 2 monsters to spy on garou. |
casilo said: To be honest, the animation in episode 1 is pretty normal, but I don’t get why so many people are criticizing it when 99% of anime have talking scenes like this. Just look back at season 1—the talking scenes were the same, nothing too crazy, but it had action scenes to make up for the lack of character acting. Almost every action anime doesn’t really focus on character acting, so don’t compare it to slice-of-life shows since they take a completely different approach. For me, this was a good episode, even if it had some weird directions here and there. I’ll wait for episode 2 before giving a full judgment on the animation. Thank you! Folks out here crying like the first episode had SDS levels of bad animation🤦. Like for me personally, animation is never a turnoff point unless it's like unwatchable levels of bad. If I like the characters, their interactions/main plot then animation doesn't become the number one priority. But it's sad how mindlessly jumping to the popular bandwagon (in this case hating the animation) has become the new normal. Ppl out here doing literally anything for validation nowadays. |

@Mainnus This episode is basically just a talking episode, so of course it can’t be like those generic isekai shows that throw in a bunch of action in the first episode just to hook viewers. We’ll see how the action scenes are handled in episode 2
| @casilo Most people aren't even asking for epic animation. We just didn't want the characters to look lifeless because there's zero movement except their mouths in a lot of the scenes. For example, if a character's talking for 3~4 seconds, at least add a small head movement and an eye blink or two to give them life. It's not a lot to ask. I'm just hoping that they were trying to save every penny for later episodes. |
| It's like a 4/10 animation, let's wait till there is actual fights though. |
| Stop normalize that shit. For eps that has no fights, the animation looks garbage. Most SoL animes look miles better than this |
| Animation in episode 1 seemed "okay-ish" or normal because it was mostly just talking and not much action. But jiggle physics on Fubuki were actually quite good. |

@Issuxark It actually has a lot of small details you mentioned, so I don’t really get what you’re talking about. I’ve rewatched it multiple times, and it’s not just mouth flaps like you guys said. To me, it just feels like you’re nitpicking atp
| @casilo At least half of the episode is literally just mouth flaps but hey, if you're satisfied with this quality of animation, good on ya honestly. |

@DrkSeid69 I literally have said don't compare to SOL bro 🥀
| @casilo ok let me tell you this : non fight scenes in Invincible S3 are still better than OPM S3 |
| The animation looks decent. We have to remember that J.C. Staff isn’t known for their amazing animation. Sure, it may not look like Season 1 when it was produced by Madhouse, but that’s just how it is. You can’t compare a studio with the funding, experience, and skills of Madhouse to a mid-tier studio like J.C. Staff (and I don’t mean that in a bad way at all). Any regular studio being compared to the powerhouses of animation will look like wet concrete. I think so far it's a decent start but we'll see how good it's going to get once we see some action! P.S. You can totally tell the director used to work in the hentai industry!. The moment any baddies show up on screen, all the important budget suddenly goes straight into the plot hahaha and I'm all for it |

kelajuan said: @berserk2022 Fr, freaking new gens could never appreciate anything less than top tier animation. Nobody is asking for S1 production/animation, just give us something above average for an IP like this. Also, most of the people here have been watching anime for over a decade and have been waiting for OPM sequels I'm pretty sure, in fact, the new anime watchers these days either will eat up basically anything, since for them even the most basic animation is gonna be "peak" this, "masterpiece/cinema" that, or they expect everything to be Demon Slayer animation level since that is the only thing they know. |

| For me, it's decent enough. People always complain too much about the animation. |

Darkzepheran said: You can’t compare a studio with the funding, experience, and skills of Madhouse to a mid-tier studio like J.C. Staff The funding for any given project is decided far in advance by the production committee, not whichever studio was contracted for animation, and most projects in the anime industry are produced for cheap either way. And talkinf about "experience" here is also pointless, considering J.C. Staff as a studio is actually *older* than Madhouse. And lastly, let's not act like everything Madhouse makes is gold, specially not in this decade. The actual quality of their productions depends heavily on which production line is responsible, it can range from Frieren having creative directors, excellent animators and a proper management resources, or it can range to shows like Police in a Pod or Ai no Idenshi where everything is outsourced to overseas studios. |

| @Oongbuh When I say “funding, experience, and skill,” I’m referring to the studio itself. Sure, the funding for a specific project is decided per production, but ultimately, the studio controls how much they pay their employees. That’s why I also mention experience: while J.C. Staff may have been around longer than Madhouse, the reality is that a studio as successful as Madhouse has the financial power to hire more experienced directors, producers, and animators for its projects. I do agree that when a studio produces an anime, the studio’s reputation alone doesn’t guarantee quality — good or bad. It all depends on the specific team assigned to that project. And if a studio has multiple anime releasing in the same season, that inevitably spreads their talent thin and limits which teams can handle each production. I’m not trying to say Madhouse always delivers top-tier anime. Every studio, no matter how established, has made its share of lackluster adaptations. However, in the last decade, J.C. Staff has fumbled more often than Madhouse largely because Madhouse doesn’t face the same level of workload. Just a couple of seasons ago, J.C. Staff had around five different anime airing at the same time, and you could clearly see the difference in quality between the teams working on each project. I’m not trying to justify whether the animation is good or bad, but rather to point out that, when you compare it to other anime releasing this season or in recent seasons, it actually looks pretty decent. This is the standard level of animation you’d expect from most single-season or “one-hit” series. If we get too used to the ultra-fluid, high-budget animation styles from studios like Ufotable or MAPPA, then of course anything below that is going to feel underwhelming by comparison. We'll see how this season turns out once we see more episodes, in particular the fight scenes. Sorry if by calling J.C STAFF a mid-tier studio triggered you or wrongend you in someway. It wasn't my intention. If you take a look at my watchlist, you’ll see that there are actually quite a few anime produced by J.C. Staff that I really enjoyed and liked. I hope this clears up a few things. :-) |

| Nope, not hitting the copium on this one, the animation is awfull. Garou walks like a hunched back 80 year old through the hall, they chose a static walking animation en just move the background the opposite way. Zero interaction. Lame body / torso / head shots that move like a Blue Lock .png Though the models are done good. silverfang looks good, king same, the women look amazing in comparesion(Oh what do you expect when its an hentai artist leading the bunch). But it is all stills. Honestly if you think it's fine watch it agian. There in 0 enviromental movement. 0 secondary character movement (only one char moves at a time, some hold their pose like an idiot while someone is talking). Nearly all character shots are done out of perspective, on purpose mind you. Because you can reuse any shot of a char if you just cut off half their body and put them in a wierd angle.. Sorry but this was near Blue lock levels of bad.. However due to preassure and time constraints all these things can be do to keep "weak" episodes cheaply and make more time for the actual hype episodes. I just hope it's the latter. But i have seen far to many shows and studio's do this, and then not proceed to improve in any way lately so i am kinda pessimistic about it. |
