I'm not surprised that people noticed the drop in quality of animation. I haven't seen it this bad in a while... In fact I almost never notice it. But it went from top animation to stick figures, almost. I'm a little disappointed. I wish they had put more effort in. And it kinda continues after with the same quality.

This is just my opinion, but these things are the hallmark of lazy animators:
1.) A still back ground where only the mouth or 1 character is moving.
2.) Excessive recaps and intro/ending
3.) That thing they did this episode with the crap animation.
4.) Excessive pointless flash backs (I haven't caught them using this one yet.)

Yeah, so far they have done three out of four, which is pretty bad.

What gets me is that they didn't even bother to touch up the animation for the DVD/BD. Now that's just annoying. It really took away from the episode, and this is coming from a guy that is rarely bothered by animation.

I remember reading somewhere online that for the seventh episode, they were running late on a deadline and so the quality was somewhat cut.

I personally didn't find it too bad, I've seen worse and Heihachi was pretty cute.( u v u )

Kikuchiyo lives and that's all I care about XD

Sad that Shichiroji had to leave Yukino. I hope he doesn't die :(

Did they seriously use up all their money making the previous episodes. It looked so shoddy that I almost couldn't watch it. If it continues like this, I'm out.
