Am I the only one who finds the animation pretty average? It's not bad, but it's not as spectacular as many make it out to be, it just looks decent and that's it.

I don’t know I actually really like the conversation and I love the art style. I find it very pretty.
Am I the only one who wants Rudo and Riyo together

'Not as spectacular as many people make it out to be' Huh... who is this 'many' you're talking about?

No one called it the best or 'spectacular' but overall its a good adaptation? I don't get the point of this post, what to disagree with a nonexistent crowd of people that called it that?

You heard the simple phrase 'good animation' from someone and expected a Frieren or Demon slayer level adaptation? Is that it? I'd guess your standards of what good animation is are too high

I wouldn’t say the animation is “average.” I think it’s def a bit above average. But that’s not what makes it visually stunning. It’s really the art style and art direction that make this show so fascinating to look at. It’s definitely one of the most unique art styles I’ve seen in my years.

The animation can be inconsistent at times and it's something left to be desired. I'd give it a 5 or a 6, but artstyle a solid 8.

Is this the new "MHA has mid animation". I haven't watched it but considering this might become studio Bones next main series I expect it to be good. And the PV sure looks good.

I feel the same.
But I get the slight hint that Amo might have a different say.

The animation is good.
The art direction is very bad.
The photography is good.
The episode direction is generally good, but sometimes it can be very good.
The pacing is terrible

The concept is cool, artstyle is fresh, colours are vivid. Animations are thousands times better than the big one frame man season 3. This season overall has been a draught so perhaps it's natural for this show to stand out more, but in no way I'll call this animation overrated.

I had the exact same thought as you. For how much ppl love this anime, it does NOT have great animation. It has very good, and great at some points but usually it’s nothing that stands out besides the Amo ep. Artstyle is pretty good but artstyle is a subjective thing and it just isn’t my type.

You never seem to care about the actual animation, the actual Show and what makes it bad or what makes other Shows worse or better.
Why is it average? What makes other Anime better, this season, in terms of Animation? Explain. Have some points.

But you don't care.
You seem obsessed with other people and their opinions, instead.
You LOVE being different.

People say the Animation is pretty good?
Well, that means you're not impressed then. Every Thread you do is like that^^

@MusashiKarlsefni For real, its concerning how many people are starting to take incredibly polished productions with highly detailed on model designs like this one for granted because its not a constant sakuga fest that regularly goes off model.

@BasedHappy It's 2025 and people still think that demanding well-made animation like Demon Slayer is setting too high standards for anime that should be top-notch? Of course you settle for anything and it's thanks to you that we get anime like the third season of One Punch Man.

@Trizzir It's not a bad series, in fact, although at times it's a bit classic and predictable, it does its job, but it could have been given much more.

@treejoh Above average when you consider seasonal isekai and trash anime, but considering this is a flagship title, it's a bit disappointing that it didn't get more.
