and why the hell people are defending mappa by saying you dont understand the art style or shit like that i have watched every typre of anime and seen third tier manga getting better treatment than this . see this is a fucking shonen action manga its artstyle is not neede to be like this. no action anime ever use this type of shit art style and please dont compare it to mob psycho. mob phsyo has better animation than this and this is not fucking mob pshcho this is jjk you acn not just change the fucking art style in the middle of the anime
there are still 6epiosdse lleft in shibuya and all are important and i cant see it fucking destroyed like this one mappa should shut down the production and postponed the release to next year for better result
Here's my brain-dead opinion and rant on this.
Firstly, reanimating is simply not possible. People here rightly point out that that would literally kill the already overworked animators.
Having said that, JJK S2 has turned me into a MAPPA hater because they (MAPPA's CEO) butchered this adaptation by taking up too many projects than they could handle. Then you have Park leaving MAPPA....and he took the soul of JJK with him. I have repeatedly stated in these forums that I lost all hope in S2 as soon as the news of Park leaving hit in 2022. I think Goshozono is also good director but he was dealt a bad hand in terms of the production deadlines.
In my opinion, there was nothing major in S1 to fix in the first place. I am a fan of S1's artstyle, hand-to-hand fight choreography and OST selection. That's why JJK S1 is first on my list of favourite anime. None of this is present in S2.
I didn't like the artstyle, animation or OSTs in hidden inventory....but now I realize it was still significantly better than Shibuya. And regarding the artstyle choice here's my braindead theory: they changed it because it was easy to animate....they knew they couldn't handle this production schedule with the original artstyle. S1 and JJK0 artstyle is super-detailed not easy to animate. Because they knew of the impending crunch. I personally do not believe in the artistic choice theory....maybe applicable for hidden inventory....but not shibuya. I invite people to check out Science Saru anime....THAT is artistic choice.
JJK S2 (Shibuya) is a massive downgrade against its predecessors. People are praising it out of pity for the animators...and by overtly praising this product they are implicitly exonerating MAPPA of all wrongdoing ("hooray...despite the abysmal working conditions, the animators still managed to pull it off...justice for the animators!"). Six months down the line if S2 is still highly rated (which I wont be surprised if it is)...it will be hailed as MAPPA's masterpiece. Nothing will change for the animators...their working conditions will only get worse because the uncritical praise the anime recieved will prove that this manner of production scheduling not only works but is in fact the correct choice.
MAPPA is ruining their flagship series as well as their animators' lives in order to achieve their own selfish (albeit unrealistic) goals of surpassing KyoAni...I mean really? Watch ANY part of Tsurune S2 and compare that to shibuya (the former is a show about archery!)...MAPPA can't compete with that level of dedication.
