| I think people put far too much focus on animation, they even diss anime that are actually good because they don’t have perfect animation. I prefer a well written story and dialogue over perfect animation any day. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
Yffffhjuub said: Why the animation of ds is toooo good?? Because it's not just their animation; what really elevated Ufotable is their Digital team, hiding bad animation and complementing the good animation with plenty of effects and intelligent use of CGI. I highly recommend to watch this video. |

| OK so the MAIN reason is "COMPOSITING". Imagine it like make-up nd cosmetics. Different layers of special effects r added alongside the Different parts of the scene like bg, key animation, colouring, 3DCG being put together. These additional layers make the scene look better. Ufotable makes real good use of special effects. You won't see crazy animation in most parts like character acting. It's mostly present during the fight scenes and so the most prominent Animators they have are focused on these important fight scenes. Ofc many times u may find some details in key animation not being visible cuz of compositing but it's a small price to pay for amazing looking sequences and the scenes that normally would look average r also hidden nd look better overall. From an objective standpoint, studios like Toei or Madhouse have an upper hand in terms of animation while Ufotable is the best in terms of compositing. It has Animators that can rival other studios but a huge portion of their staff is limited (they also do most stuff in-house) |

It has Animators that can rival other studios but a huge portion of their staff is limited (they also do most stuff in-house) this ^ it mainly looks good because of the composition. proper use of special effects and color makes anything look pretty. while clean frames after frames have a part in making it look good but special effects and all the colors play a greater part in making it better. jjk has more like raw animation, less special effects and more clash. And I think true talent lies in the fact when you make it look good even without any kind of flashy special effects. of course using good special effects is a talent, but if you can make it look good without any superior tactics then you know that animator is special. DS swordsmith village arc absolutely looked average because there wasn't any proper use of special effects. from this you know the animation was mostly elevated due to special effects in other seasons. |
| UFOTABLE departments are arranged in a way so it's easy to work together with all teams so I read. |
need567 said: I can agree it has higher production quality but come on 100 times better than jjk? I can appreciate the consistency but I personally prefer the art style and animation of jjk (in s2 not s1) JJK s2 had such bad scheduling, they basically released incomplete episodes with missing in between animations, bad composition, cheeky animation shortcuts etc.... The Blu Ray edition had crazy amounts of corrections, redraws, scene replacement... I've never seen any anime with 24 episodes season do this. |
| Because they only work on one or two major projects at a time and their staff is talented and in house. They know how to compose stuff and they know how to blend 2D with 3D CGI. They excel in both these categories. Mix it up and you have amazing animation. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

Because in terms of cinematography composition, there's nothing special about DS. Frieren, for instance, has more interesting composition. Oh shi I didn't see that😭 My keyboard auto correct is on... |

actually I'd partially disagree, s1 in particular suffers from 2d characters looking like stickers on a 3d background.
Which funnily enough, even though they're touted for their excellent post-production process, is a compositing issue (a post-production process).
| @FiviG It did not look like that for me. I absolutely loved the consistency in character design. I guess they did use thick and dark outlines for character design but I actually found it quite different and likeable. |

more fans, more views, more expectations, more hype, more expected revenue, more budget given.
mugen train for example costed 15/16 million dollars to make but had an explosive revenue 508 million dollars.
They know they have a gold mine and that its ending (like literall, the story is ending), so instead of risking with something average or just good theyre not stupid, they inject a crazy budget into KNY while they can and do not rush it, so they can present a real masterpiece at the end and profit fiftyfold their expenses.
now idk how much infinity castle costed, the internet says "rumors say it costed 350 million" but thats a bit unlikely cause that would make it THE most expensive movie ever even above avengers endgame. but anyways great things are expected

| @Alex_the_reaper Yeah there was one such rumor saying that it costed around 390 million or something but that is highly unlikely. The movie does look expensive with all the visuals and marketing that went on with it but a budget over 350 million is most likely false. |
