agree, Why the animation looks worse than usual? like seriously ok you can argue with me about this but, when i see this something like off from studios i personally don't know how to process the kitchen there, one thing is sure hopefully they will improve next week. hopefully this comment read by "them"

Yeah!!!
The fight scene was not choreographed properly. But everything except that felt normal.

So people are now noticing the bad animation lol what did you guys expect? It was already trash in the sol scenes there was no way its not gonna get worse when an action scene happens.
Enjoy the "modern anime artstyle" lmao

I've waited 10 years for a sequel and I get this trash design, might as well not make a 2nd season if it's gonna be this disappointing lol

yeah the animation was pretty jacked up too. it’s sad to see, i actually thought it was pretty decent the first 3 episodes and was just getting used to the different art style before they changed it again.

Didn't notice it tbh, enjoying the story. Btw as you seem unaware, but technology and imagery changes over time as we move forward in time. Trends change, concepts change, writers (for write or wrong) fall victim to socialised trends and some translations are even corrupted by the very people we trust to translate the original show. And you peeps represent the worst of us. With no serious argument or intelligent discussion to be had.

What is your major malfunction?

The budget is definitely lacking this season. Which I was kind of surprised about since we waited *9 years* for a new season to be released. Usually you only see this kind of low-quality animation when they quickly want to quickly put out another season.

Same man. I really wanted to be wrong but it was obvious where this is going since the first episode,same goes for COTE. They really like butchering adaptations these days

The fight scene is shit but the normal one's are too. The first 30 seconds of the episode with chiho and alas's face and at 20:48 look at emi's face also there are many more. So, I won't name them all but yeah the animation became bad compared to the first 3 episodes

honestly this animation would've been acceptable 18 years ago.

Now it's just hideous. It reminds me of Kanon or some other trash.

Feels bad man. It still doesn't change the fact that this season's art style and animation are lackluster, and episode 4 exacerbated the problem. Oh well, I hope they can at least recover and do better in upcoming episodes.

Even those shitty Key adaptations and the odd Studio Gonzo anime looked better. Fucking Midori Days looked better. Kanon looks like a Ghibli movie compared to this.

Rewatched it and it could have been worse, I mean I struggled watching Nanatsu No Taizai despite the bad animation so I may just feel different on this honestly.

I could get used to the art at first, even if it's trash. The animation really killed it this episode, It wouldn't surprise me if all the fights are like this.

It's a big downgrade from season 1

I think (hope) it's just beause there's a fight scene in this episode, so there's no gap between fight scene and normal ones.

The absolutely terribly drawn faces remind me of the early days of Dragon Ball Super. The fight scene made it even worse. I guess 9 years isn't enough to draw and animate 12 episodes?

I have no other way to say this: the new art style looks flimsy. If the old one is lasagna, this one is an overly sweet cupcake.

It is pretty sad to see that this adaptation is average at best, it’s even messier than the first season animation wise. Yeah, the action looked like it was done by Queen Bee, but there’s no need to bitch about it. Your bitching isn’t going to do anything.

Considering that they only ordered this adaptation bcs they wanted to advertise the author's new work
after that whole shitstorm
and prob everyone else involved in this project are just disinterested alr

this production prob lacks everything: time, money, effort.

well-deserved. the franchise and all who are responsible for that shitstorm signed up for this. and to think they had the balls to advertise the author's new work on the back of that.
