Why are the animations so bad?

LaFlame77 said:
Probably because jjk and hells paradise have completely different art styles. The animation wasn’t bad at all it was actually really good.

I wonder why are there so many rude people answering your simple question. Well, I agree with you that the animation looks terrible if compared to other MAPPA shows like JJK and CSM. The reason for that is just the same; MAPPA has taken too many anime with high-quality animation to work on, they have SNK final ep, CSM 2, JJK 2 and so on... and I seriously don't understand why they took Jigokuraku to adapt right when they already have so many work to do. But I hope that answers your question! I don't like hating on anime but I dropped Jigokuraku because imo everything in this anime is terrible, but that's just me, I understand if someone likes it.

The animation wasn't exactly bad, but was inconsistent imo in Jigokuraku. And mainly, because MAPPA already had their hands full with other popular projects like AoT s4, VS s2, JJK s2, CSM and all, leading to an overall rushed production and schedule. Plus they might have taken Jigo up for a quick cash grab or something like that lol, who knows. But yeah, I believe they'll step up the game in the next season fs.

Lol, even with its mistakes, it has better quality than CSM or JJK S2 has. JJK S1 is better, but that's better than all 3 of these.
And they are weak, because they produced them after taking over SnK. After that there was a pretty obvious drop in quality.
The only show that was produced after that and has good quality all in all is Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi.

What do you expect from MAPPA

Clearly their quality is falling, at this point even Pierrot's animation quality is far better

Clearly people are getting dumber and dumber. JJK s2 and CSM both are one of the finest work I have seen. I appreciate JJK s2 more than Demon Slayer for some very obvious reasons.
Mappa's quality didn't drop, audience's IQ did.

Fuck off lmao. You don't even have a inch bit of knowledge about animation. JJK S2 and CSM has the bets animation among all MAPPA Animes. JJK S1 is not even close to JJK 2.

Also Hell's Paradise had bad schedule and also it wasn't as big as JJK.

Bait used to be believable

ktg said:

That's a pretty bad take, because it actually proves that YOU don't have any knowledge.
Everything you said about Jigokuraku does not necessarily mean that the quality drops because of those. Shaft used to having the worst schedule while they were animating Monogatari series or Madoka Magica and those shows still look really good. And Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi is also not as big as JJK, but still it's the best MAPPA animation from the recent years. This pretty much refutes your stupid take.

As for JJK S2, they had to make the characters' design more simple compared to S1, because they wouldn't have been able to keep with the schedule. So, they obviously lowered the animation quality. You can see this lack of details in shadings and lights on the characters. For example:
S1 (flashback): https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2022/09/14d2e-16641961761018-1920.jpg
S2: https://cdn.oneesports.gg/cdn-data/2023/07/Anime_JujutsuKaisen_Season2_GojoSatoru_GetoSuguru_GegeAkutami.jpg
The quality of the pictures isn't the greatest but you can still see the difference.
Obviously there are some aspects where the animation is better like the background, but the most important part is the characters and that's worse.

As for CSM, they used CGI heavily, while they are fully aware that their CGI isn't the greatest. It's relatively weak compared to other studios. It's not necessarily a problem, because they did everything to hide it, but this heavy use introduced a lot of mistakes, because the 2d and 3d integration broke a couple of times.
Here's one example: https://prnt.sc/it1B9lwiPQqV

So, it is pretty obvious that there are mistakes and pretty obvious that you failed to recognize those or you just lied about them for whatever reason. In either case, your take is pretty invalid if we are talking about animation.


That's how you know it's not a bait. These are facts.

I really don’t approve this take, but if you really think so, I’m happy for you…

That’s a crazy take ngl

Anyone with a basic understanding of how anime is produced would truly appreciate both Jujutsu Kaisen and Jigokuraku. It's important to recognize that these two shows are like two different pairs of shoes. Each anime has its own unique style, tone, and storytelling approach. You can't simply apply the same animation techniques or creative choices to both and expect the same results. Mappa's ability to adapt their animation style to suit the distinct essence of each anime is a testament to their expertise and dedication to the craft.

Both of the anime were better than hell's paradise. Hell's paradise had too many inconsistencies that were hard to ignore. I didn't notice anything too bad to ignore in CSM or JJK.

From my experience, Hell's Paradise felt rushed unlike the other 2 anime. The first 3 episodes were good but the quality fell off every new episode.

Mitsuru-Senpaii said:
Without throwing shade or anything, but I'm genuine interested why the animations of Jigokuraku feel so bad. I thought the show is from MAPPA, but this looks nothing like the quality Jujutsu Kaisen or Chainsaw Man provided. Does anyone know what the reasons might be? 

Polar_Opposite said:

Sorry that I don't have the time to read the entire thread, should have read your longer explanation.

You are talking about "lack of details in shadings and lights on the characters." in JJK season 2. But then this is okay in Hell's Paradise?



Also, inconsistencies isn't necessarily a matter of style; it could still impact the overall quality. The fact that inconsistencies were consistent doesn't necessarily justify their presence.
