Ive noticed by both the MAL average rating and the obvious last topic, that alot of people apparently didnt enjoy the new art. Well no wonder, there are many reasons why the old art was better, those being that it was the FIRST art, an ICONIC anime by itself and a more fitting for that time vibe. If anything the new art on this season fits the new era vibes that started from like 2019/2020. Obviously, I also prefer the old art, because it felt more fitting and its also in my mind as the art for the devil is a part timer. Anyways, we should be grateful to even have a season 2 where if theres anything to pick on (for now), is the freaking art. Anime evolves, be it forward or backwards. I feel like if they had the old art, this season would already have more than 9+ rating. Imagine crying so bad cuz you got a season that you wanted, but they OBVIOUSLY had to change some stuff cuz last one was literally 9 YEARS AGO

The current art style looks more similar to the manga. I do prefer the previous art style but can't complain cuz something is better than nothing. The art style change is due to a studio change and not time.

But gotta say, they look 3yrs younger this season

I'll be honest, Im super disappointed. I actually just rewatched S1 a month ago in anticipation of S2, and this art is awful.

Maou and Emilia particularly look like entirely different characters. People say "Oh, at least you get S2", but Im honestly one of those people that would prefer to never get S2 as opposed to something that is so drastically different

Its kind of more well drawn overall but the new stylization makes the faces look kind of bland and expressionless. Also Chiho's eyes sometimes drift REALLY far apart. Its not that bad, but its kind of not good either, looking at the old one still is somehow more pleasant and aesthetically pleasing despite some scenes being pretty darn lazy. I mean they clearly put some at least semi decent budget and effort into this, why not keep the old style or something similar?

Changing the studio doesn't always mean a change in the art/characters design, for example: Mahoutsukai no Yome, Gintama, Nagatoro-san ...
While the art can sometimes be changed by the same studio/staff as happened with Haikyuu!.

I think a lot of it has to do with nostalgia. People prefer something they're nostalgic for and resist change.

lol. I didn't know we had 'stop disliking what I like" topics here.
personally I don't care. the new art looks worse, but it doesn't take away from an otherwise mediocre show.
it's a fact that it's less detailed and way softer than before. people have the right to dislike it.

I am not the biggest fan of the new art style but I am just happy to be watching a new season of this show and the continuation of the story. Because while the character designs are different everything feels relatively the same as it was in season one.

Heard a few things about the series that turned me off from it.

I wonder if this season will make me laugh as much as I would have before I knew this information.

I may go from a "oh that is funny" to an "oh isn't it funny, given _____?"

S1 had a more distinct style vs the more moe style the new studio is doing so I fully understand the people not liking this new style. It was better animated too.

I mean dont you think the art should have been better now since the first season was made 9 YEARS AGO? Technology and everything has evolved, maybe not much but it did. The art is definitely not on par with the first season, neither it is on the same level as other animes coming out this year. Their eyes are weird and the mouth shape.. Its just funny lol.

The problem is that the art and animation is mediocre, low quality and lacks any of the charm of the first season. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if the show had always looked like this it's only an issue because of how massive of a downgrade it is in comparison. Not sure if it's because of budget, lack of effort or just that it's impossible to match a studio like White Fox unless you're a studio of an equally high calibre

You DARE. You DARE TO QUESTION THE STUDIO!

You will burn in the center of a 1000 suns for this!

So what they had NINE YEARS to do it!

This was their BEST EFFORT!

-

...generic. Generic was their best effort.

We went from Pink Pineapple to PoRO.

-

But you, you had the audacity to want more....

Why can't you just be happy with the 5/10 animation. What did you want 8/10? 9/10?

You entitled watcher. you disgust me.



^All above insults are sarcasm. I am on your side. The comment about Pink Pineapple is not sarcasm though.

By this logic, film should never have left black and white!

Lord of the Rings should have gotten worse with each sequel right?

The more seasons of the Fate Series, the closer we should get to the studio just drawing on a paper hundreds of times and flipping it in front of a camera!
What? Computers? Effort? Passion?

Hogwash! Make the cheapest product possible! The only thing that matters is pushing out the product, not the quality.

i mean i dont get it. you do realise these anime make money right? it isn't like they're doing this for charity. and we're paying to the streaming services that in turn pay them...

there is nothing wrong about looking for better animation. the technology has gotten better over the past couple of years and i would assume that the work force has gotten larger too. but they just keep on generalising every single style until everything just looks the same.

like from the last couple of seasons. the girl from realist hero looked like the girl from otomege sekai who looked like the girl from 90 different fantasy manga.

it cant be a coincidence that the two highly awaited anime season's art [classroom of the elite and this] has the same complaint.

Yup, everything looks great. I don't understand people crying over art-style and animation.

I literally watched Season 1 for the first time yesterday and watched new episode just now, I didn't feel any need to complain about anything related to animation. I might not know much about animation but it wasn't bad at all, it felt normal like a normal anime, I did notice that the art-style is different but it's not bad. People just want a chance to complain bruh. You got a anime after waiting for like a decade so just stfu and enjoy it or just drop it, stop wasting your breath on hating on the art-style, if you don't like it go make your own sequel.

New animation is actually better. Tell me which picture looks better. or
Keep in mind one of them is from BD.

you can't judge anime based on 3 second great background illustration bc it would makes 99% anime great.
go compare emilia vs maou fight from 1st episode. the difference really massive in there.
also most of the times only character mouth are moving, and the body movement are looped. which is sign of low to okay-ish animation quality.
the only improvement from S1 is the fanservice on ending and boobies physics.

How ironic. Imagine crying over some opinions over opinions.

The fact that some people are saying "Oh, at least you get S2" is one of those lamest excuse that the new art is garbage.
