I feel like the visual dramatic effects are sometimes exaggerated and gives a cheap feel, I don't think they are needed... 

I hope they don't overdo it in upcoming episodes...

Edit: I see many getting confused that I am talking about animation, I'm not, animation is god tier! It is about the dramatic visual effects you see like those in Indian TV drama scenes.

Edit 2: Cheap ≠ inexpensive, i'm saying that it is kind of unpleasant to watch

In my opinion it was to add more affect to the scenes I feel like the talk of the top 3 upper moons were to add character to them.

I actually agree with you ufotable didn't need to Flex so hard it felt like they were trying so much to create something from nothing if you know what i mean.

The Infinty Castle part was storyboarded by Yuichi Terao himself, just like in ep 26 of Season 1. The intention is to make it as cinematic as posible to portray it as a different dimension (which it is). If you think they overdid it, then you either missed the entire point and/or lack knowledge about cinematography.

Also it's kind of ironic that you describe it as "cheap", because these type of things are very hard to pull off. It's a very impressive technical achivement.

Fun fact: the CG backgrounds are made with Unreal Engine.

this is why I dropped KnY, aside from the fact that the writing was just bland... instead of giving a good choreography to the fights they just spam pretty-looking effects here and there and the average anime fan won't complain

Well yeah, I can understand that it is different dimension but they went and did like a solid 1 minute scene. I know that it was kind of a intro but they could have done something better...

imo, i won't say exaggerated, but yeah, it felt a bit overuse of the same fx. They should've reduced the amount of time they've used the glitch fx or whatever it's called, idk the name. But nonetheless, it was a W episode. Small mistakes can be ignored. But Akaza's travelling animation was insane, no overdoing shit

Now thats just Ufotable flexing their skills and budget. The infinity castle is just being portrayed that way because it just shows how important this place is. Besides its not so cheap.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Nope. They weren't exaggerated. There was a lot of power in that space, so naturally the pressure was very high. Plus it's a supernatural location and the headquarters of the demon king himself.

I don't even know why you're making it seem so dramatic, are you a die-hard fan of this show? because my post wasn't supposed to be an insult nor a hate post. I don't care enough to start a war against KnY's fandom, and I don't consider my views to be the absolute truth at all

Yeah, something feels off. It looks cheaper than the previous season and they overused effects to the point that it's obvious that they were trying to compensate for the lack of animation. I hope that it's just for this episode because they had to rush it or something, and the rest of this part has the same quality as the one before.This was distracting to the point that I had to look up if anyone else noticed it, and unsurprisingly, you did

I think the only thing that was over the top were the Inception-esque sound effect every time something mildly important was said or shown during the Kizuki meeting. That was a bit goofy but otherwise I didn't have a problem with the episode at all.

That scene stood out a lot to me too. When the camera angles were changing so much along with the sound effects, it just made it a very comical scene. Almost like YouTube video editing style for a joke. 

I think they just really wanted to open the episode dramatically and took it a tad too far. The rest of the episode was fine.

Man , I didn't know the KNY fanbase was this toxic. 
Any attempts to voice reasonable critiques are met with bitter gatekeeping and hostile dismissal of valid or invalid viewpoints. People have the right to voice their opinion whether you think its good or bad. It is disheartening to observe such vehement efforts to suppress different opinions, especially when one considers that these you guys have no personal stake in the production of the anime itself.

What you are doing here is not inherently noble, and the attempt to shut down criticism is antithetical to the values of an open and inclusive discussion. While the anime may be something you hold in high regard, this should not preclude others from sharing their thoughts and feelings about its various aspects.

It is disappointing that some fans have chosen to defend the series in such a narrow-minded manner. Ultimately, it is through honest and open discussion that the anime can continue to thrive and evolve into the future.

And yes, the effects did feel a bit exaggerated at time during this episode, maybe it won't be used to such a degree in the future episodes as they will be made in an episodic nature unlike this which was kinda made to be released in theatres.

Yes, i also felt the same; it was like that old cliche of put a ray effect when someone says something shocking for the plot. Maybe it's fine for a segment of 5 minutes or less, but when they overuse it for almost 20 minutes straight, it gets almost comical

If you dropped after season 1 or movie, understandable. But if you dropped after season 2. You are wrong. It is not even a worst take, you are just wrong.

I thought this thread was a joke and that OP was complaining about something for no reason, like I know that Demon Slayer has effects to make things cooler in the previous seasons and I have no complaints about it but I'm watching the new episode now and I'm 14 minutes in, and goddamn, you are not kidding, the effects are really exaggerated now, so exaggerated that I'm finding it annoying, like every little thing has some warping effect for absolutely no reason, they are really going overboard with this shit. I was happy I didn't have to deal with Zenitsu this season but they are really overdoing it with those effects in that Upper-rank meeting, I will cross my fingers and hope they reduce those effects for the rest of the episode, it's getting really annoying.

So OP, yeah, I agree, lots of effects at the beginning of the episode, I hope they reduce that shit.
