| This is going to get a little technical as I have studied animation. I feel the animation in the show has started to decline since season 2. The errors are starting to pile up and the inbetweening hasn't been very good. The CGI is...just not very polished it looks like models that pop out of a PS2 game still in beta. I say this as someone who is very pro CGI too. I love stuff like Beastars and Trigun Stampede for example. The use of it just seems them avoiding drawing and animating complex things. There is more use of gloom to cover up errors than trying to balance out the colors more. The storyboard seems to be just having everyone run into each other a couple of times. The use of rule of cool has been very bizarre and questionable at times. It's not poorly animated but I'm starting to wonder does this team know what they want to do and do they understand how to properly storyboard out a fight. The good thing is there is still a good sense of weight in all of the actions and you can feel the impact. The movements of everything feels different and unique. Though, I feel this is just pockets of good animation and not effective overall animation. I don't wanna say they are being rush but I feel they are taking far too many shortcuts and they know if they just add enough pretty effects Twitter would be happy. Some things I would suggest. -Fully storyboard out of the fight. -Try and do more than just having everyone run straight. Everyone seems to be fighting the same and, no, just because Genayu has a fucking gun doesn't mean he is fighting that different. -Stop relying on CGI so much or at least try and polish it further.(They really could have clean up Emmu's attack in Mugen Train more. That shit was bad.) -Have much more inbetweening so everything isn't super fast and is much smoother. Overall the strongest aspect of this show has started to become of one of its issues which is strong now it is just okay. Maybe next time the founder pays his taxes. |

| I feel the same. I imagine ufotable have lost interest in the quality of the show and are just trying to pump out the anime as fast as they can so viewers don’t lose interest. We can see from the ‘to the sword smith village’ movie that production quality is beginning to fall off, they couldn’t even be bothered to edit the episodes together, instead we had to sit through the opening and ending credits 3 times. I feel like they’re just in it for the money now. |

| I mean I did actually study it in school and now how to animate myself. I didn't major in it but I think many could back this up. |

ktg said: I mean I did study it but...I didn't want to flex my education on the matter as that's childish. Do you have anything to add to discussion besides call anyone who doesn't like Demon Slayer a fanboy? also, you said you have studied animation but got zero idea what I'm fucking talking about as you haven't addressed my points. Calls me a troll but I think you're a fanboy with a troll kungfu grip. It's interesting how you wanted to talk about the animation and hardly mentioned it, while you "studied animation". Like I said in the other thread, you are a troll. Like here 2 out of 4 suggestions have nothing to do with animation. And even one of the other 2 is actually about an earlier season fight. So even if I don't try to point out while you are wrong, these illogical points prove perfectly that you are trolling here. Btw, I also studied animation and you are wrong. So how can you prove that that you are right? You have the same credibility as I have. |

| The longer a show goes on the cheaper it will get. Cuz they already have an audience so they don't need to make everything look really good to sell it, unlike the first season. This happens to every show eventually, MHA being a good example. Also, CGI bitching at this point in the series, smh. |

KanataX said: repeated threads like these in not just the kny forums but everywhere makes me wonder do people nowadays actually watch an anime for the story or all do they care bout is "pretty animation" the selling point of this anime is it's breathtaking visuals and animation. The story is too simple and predictable to even care about. |
| As a manga reader, I consider this arc as one of the weaker ones and ufotable seem to share that opinion, so animation is slightly worse when compared to what we had before. That doesn't mean it's bad by any mean. I'm pretty sure they'll grace us with some quality sakuga once Mitsuri takes on Zohakuten. But CG is still way better than tentacles from Mugen Train. |

The story is too simple and predictable to even care about. so uh animation alone is enough for you to keep watching a show in it's 3rd season that has a story that you seemingly don't care bout? oh well thanks for answering Yes, Because I already have read the manga and I am only watching this for the animation and the fights. Based on that, I'm credible enough to tell, the animations are what makes this show the best. You are welcome. |
| They can't do much when the source material is so crap. The characters think out every action they take or see, causing the action to be stretched thin. There are lot of moments where they have to use slow motion to give the characters time to think out their entire backstories. One other reason is the flat choreography of the fights where it's just quick simple moves, like has Tanjiro ever used a water breathing technique this season? On top of it, they fight in nondescript locations and there is little sense of depth or dimensionality in them. The CGI is simply horrendous in anime in general. The smooth CGI movement doesn't mesh well with the snappy 2D movement. Also an overuse of CGI models. |

Guys. This season had a worst animation then season one, guys. Please guys.  |
Yo what is wrong with you all people? |
| they don't care enough about this shitshow anymore apparently, and it's a good thing imo, can't wait for the studio's next projects |
| bro really compared kny's 5 minutes cgi to a full 12-episode, 3d cgi fully-focused animes (beastars and trigun stampede), made by a 3d cgi-focused studio (orange) |
| We call these people "elitists". |

| have it cross your mind how quickly this season been made compared to the previous ones ? well no shit there will be errors you seem to really taken the "Ufotable Animators aren't human" meme too seriously, well hate to break it you no matter how much crack they smoke to Animate faster there is no way you'll get the same quality of previous seasons in such a short time. |

| As a guy who hasn't been to animation school I can pretty much say that the animation is nowhere near a downgrade this season so far. I don't know what all these complains are about. They have been doing a wonderful job at adapting the manga so far. Its just that this fight isn't as flashy from the start unlike the previous season. Besides even the previous season picked up in fights after episode 6 and especially ep 7 when gyutaro finally arrived. Same might be the case for this season. They will drop one absolutely banger episode and that would be more then enough to satisfy most of the anime community. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| They are probably too busy drowning in Chinese money if you ask me. I cant blame them. |

| just gets annoying honestly lmao |
