The animation was somewhat of a let down

Don’t stress about what the director or the management says.
The manga readers told us that this season will be the most boring season, fighting and animation wise as not much is happening.

They told us to prepare for the coming seasons as they will basically demolish the prior seasons completely.

People who let themselve get hyped up too much beforehand are idiots imo, cause it ruins their enjoyment. Never set your expectation bar so high, that you will be disappointed later. Well not that it matters for this DS season cause it was genuinely weaker than the previous. But still good.

To be fair, this was always going to seem a little more boring than any other season, as I believe the fights against Upper Moons 4&5 were the weakest in the series. I think Ufotable did a fantastic job working with what they had, hell the fights against Rui and Enmu were probably better than these ones (manga). The later fights will be insane once animated, I wouldn’t be too hung up on this season since they just weren’t great fights to begin with imo

I'm still looking for someone who can show these bad CGI fishes, because I didn't find a single one in the entire show.
And it did reach a new level, okay, it's unfair. It depends on the definition. Is it the best animation currently? Yes. Are there any shows that are close to this level? Yes. Could have been better? We don't know.

The fishes looks great and terrifying!

If the whole arc would look as good as the castle we have seen, then each consecutive episode will completely break the internet.
As manga reader I can easily tell, that it has THE best fights.
But sadly, the best fight did not happened.

Can't imagine only caring about animation. Also, shows that go on for a few seasons usually have a drop in quality in one way or another, MHA comes to mind.

The best thing about Season 3 is the Infinity Castle rotoscoping movements. I watched the 1st episode at the theatres twice (sub and dub) and was blown away by the skill sets of the animator. It feels like I am in the actual castle.

The CGI fishes are not so bad. It could be jarring to look at these fishes, but that's the whole purpose of it: to make them look horrific.

Those cgi fish demons personally didn't bother me much. If the animation is great, then I don't care about the cgi even if it looks kinda weird or jarring.

As long as the animation is up to the level, that's what matters to me the most.

I'm sure he isn't the only one, the animation this season definitely wasn't as good as previous seasons. I wasn't expecting some kind of the best animation ever since I know Ufotable isn't able to do that, and while I'm not sure where the quote that this season would have next level animation came from many people kept saying the same again and again just for it to not even look better than the animation of the previous season.

I don't get why people had so huge issues with CGI fish. It's not like it was badly executed CGI, or downgrade in this aspect (Enmu's tentacles looked worse than the weirdest looking CGI model offered by Swordsmith Village arc).

Of course, those fish minions looked goofy at times, underwhelming even and odd, but I treated it rather as an artistic choice of a way to depict them. the animation wasn't at fault here. Whether somebody like that kind of presentation or not is a matter of taste, but this CGI wasn't even close to "disastrous CGI quality" that some people liked to whine about in various threads. :P

People think - especially after CSM - if you can recognize something is CGI, then it's bad. While it should be the opposite.
Ufotable has so good CGI they don't even need to care about hiding it, because it's so good.

How is this not hiding when they are hiding it all the time with milions of the special effects.

Then how did people recognize the fishes as CGI? Or the Mugen Train? Or Enmu's body?
The "special effects" aren't there to hide something.

In CSM case after the first ep people were arguing about which scene was CGI and which wasn't, because MAPPA tried to hide it (and for a reason).

And let's not forget about this still ongoing trend of many anime fans starting whining after seeing CGI in their cartoon, no matter its quality or presentation. I've been mentioning it many times, but I will say it again, since it's hilarious: the same fuss was years ago during transition from hand drawn 2D frames to digital 2D technique. It's fascinating how pretty much same arguments are being said now, just by digital 2D fans standing in the opposition to CGI technique. What's going to be next drama in this field, I wonder?

The previous seasons set the bar way too high in the animation, this season is weaker for sure, but it did have 2 or 3 episodes with beautiful animation at least, the real issue is not the animation here, it's weaker indeed but it gets the job done, the issue is the story in this arc which is shitty and the comedy which is utter shitty garbage.

You simply can't polish a turd to make it shine, you can try and it may shine, but at the end of the day, it's still a turd.

They didn't hide them and people saw grotesque CGI. That's why there is this hot topic going on xd

Where majority of people said the CGI was awesome? Yes, looks like a really hot topic. :DD

Btw, do you know what "grotesque" means? Because a "grotesque" CGI demon thingy is good thing, because it should be "grotesque" like demons.

That's a pretty rare animal nowadays. I mean Studio Orange did an insane job to show the viewers how good CGI can look like.

Saying it was meant to look like this is such a cope. Bet you said the same thing about CSM.

It was high quality and high FPS, so saying that everything was the BEST, but one aspect looked "bad" and wasn't on purpose is pretty idiotic take, because it does not explain why some aspects worked perfectly fine, but others didn't.
I don't know why you are bringing up CSM. My point wasn't about how the models looked like, but how they did mistakes for example when they tried to blend together the 2d and 3d. Like I said, shifting characters without moving.

It seemed good to me? It was nice, colorful, and immersive, I love seeing anime adaptations bringing these amazing mangas to life. We have to appreciate the endless hours of effort these animators put into making these shows out of mere drawings. I'm not much of a CGI expert, but I didn't think it was bad.
