Edit HAHAHAHAHAHAH

this fits so well, it is painful. I hope that they don't look this bad in the actual anime, even though these are supposed to be the basis they use to animate.

Yep, I was hyped for an anime, but this dont look really good, they dont even have the same shape of head !...
And head is important in a character design, it shows their personality, and thats how you reconize them

Skinnier too, maybe, less badass, and less details but it can be for animation

Maybe its gonna be good, but when you know the original, you know they messed up somewhere

And I hope for NO 3D kaijus, unless its well done

the character designer made Naruto and Boruto character designs btw here is his MAL page https://myanimelist.net/people/8725/Tetsuya_Nishio

im not complaining since simple character designs can mean more sakuga since animators can draw fast with simple designs

so thoughts?

here is a comparison and what fans are complaining about


As a manga reader, I expected production IG to do better, but this kind of looks awful.
Oh, this must be his fictional brother who doesn't look like him at all.

Now I understand why the MC's design felt unnatural. In the manga, his face is drawn more aesthetically and expressively.

Yeah I think the main character's hair looks kinda rough. I think some strands should be poking out from the other side of his face and it should have more volume to it. The face is fine even though its a bit different imo.

They look basically the same lol, what's even the complain here?

Are you blind Kafka has completely different shape of a head. He looks like goomba from live action Super Mario movie
Rest is bad too
@bastek66 Nice, the anime designs look a little bit less generic than the ultra awful manga designs. Looks like Boku no Hiiro no Akademia
If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you.

This is the first time im seeing the manga character design so I enjoyed how the characters looked in the first episode, especially in the flashbacks. The manga looks very clean though. Maybe it will get better as the show goes on?

It's definitely a step down from the manga designs after watching the first episode. Animation doesn't seem too bad yet.

The manga looks way more crazy detailed
@Zane_0 Naturally. Drawing animated characters almost requires lower detail.

I haven't read the manga but I think the character designs in the anime are inferior by a long shot. I hope the sakuga pays off but so far it isn't impressive enough to justify the downgrade in quality.

As for the MC, there's barely any difference in details. Even if there are, they aren't noticeable at all. The heroine and Ichikawa's designs look better in the manga tho.

Anime fans when they learn what simplifying designs to be better suited for animation is
😱 

Same thing's been done with Naruto. This is arguably one of the best- suited designs for animation I've ever seen because of the lack of angular lines and general roundedness of the characters, like in Boruto. The loose style allows for animators to employ their personal quirks without the character looking too off model, and if that happens during production Nishio can just step in. Tetsuya Nishio has some of the strongst AD work in the anime industry. Kaiju No. 8 is going to have a lot of sakuga lmao.
@KayY_Y period, can’t believe everyone was complaining about the designs at all, as if they could do better.

The main thing for this manga is its nice art. They screwed it by making it too simple. What's left? Another boring battle manga with Bleach level of bullshit. Or Naruto I guess.

I remember thinking the characters looked a bit off too when first revealed, but feel like it looks better now in the final product? Maybe I'm wrong and it's not much different, I wasn't analysing super closely, but I thought the first ep at least looked good.

@KayY_Y Too difficult for animators to make complex designs and stunning animations at the same time... how incompetent ☠️

just watched the first episode. and it opens with that really nice shot of a couple tall buildings in a very urban neighborhood. the detail was pretty good

then they show the mc and... he just looks like some 2D blob

i do not "rate" shows based on their animation quality (i won't upvote a mediocre show that has good animation, and i won't downvote a good show that has bad animation). but it's pretty noticeable how he wasn't given much attention. idk if there's a term for it, but when characters make those cartoonish faces for comedic purposes (usually a very basic design, not very detailed looking)...it looks like his face is always in that "comedic/cartoonish" mode and never goes back to normal

they could've/should've done him a little better. absolutely. his design doesn't work with the rest of the visuals, imo

I'm betting better animation consistency later on??? or the characters will just really-really look very bad as it progress but it definitely causes an unbalanced here

@section96 It's Production I.G, best not to get your hopes up too much. Lately they just rush animators to get stuff out, compare their animation now to the shows they worked on in the past.

@Tropisch Well then guessing imma enjoy the small ride and definitely will cause unbalanced here as people will be very unsure/undecided with the animation decisions for the anime, but do wonder why didn't other studios did this that are good for making action animations since presumebly more action stuff in this.

I haven't read manga but when I was watching first episode, something in Kafka's design felt off. I couldn't describe but now I understand.
After few more episodes I still cannot get used to it. He looks completely retarded.

They're extremely generic designs. Kafka looks too goofy. Mina too is as common design as you get for background characters.
