quality improvement :>

one frame right after is slightly less derpy

how to wink


Was going to post this too. Beat me to it. ><;; Noticed quite a few off-model/bad anatomy shots, but this is definitely the worst of the bunch. Anyone else notice that stretching scene ~11:15 mark appears to be missing at least half it's frames? T_T

I liked this little show. Impossible to defend it now. :(


All those derpy faces made me laugh the animation took a downfall I was expecting greater but thus the worst came into play instead but I won't be that guy and drop it I will see it through to the end only three episodes left

I never drop anything that I start. I'll still like this show, just can't say very much in it's favor to recommend it anymore.

This is one of the worst episodes I've ever watched, visually speaking of course. But you know what, it was so bad, that I couldn't help but laugh through the whole episode xD. The worst part for me was that there are a couple of times when the voice doesn't match the character who is talking.

Other than that, I hate the committee. Why are they so shitty?

Well the damage had already been done for the staff and the director of this anime they had make the viewers got angered and i hope the director and staff should learn from their mistakes in the next few weeks or else they might lose the show's popularity

I liked this series...

Cause I liked the style of plot involving stories. It was a really nice setting.

Too bad it got crapped on... literally...

___ ___ ___

I was originally here to comment on the first 1 min into the series about "Stardust War" aka Star Wars being an Origin story, lol

But then I got derped on by reading the comments in this thread... now I feel sad.

___ ___ ___

So... will they still have episode 10 and above? Or is this series dead?

BTW, is there a manga? (I know there's Light Novel, but I don't like to read Light Novel, I like pictures)

I've been thinking of dropping this show since around Ep 4 but I've hung in there. Now there's NO WAY I'm dropping it. The animation was so bad in that episode that I couldn't stop laughing. I wasn't expecting that I would laugh harder than at any time this season, for any show, but I did. Now I don't care about the plot anymore, hell I'm watching just to see how much worse the animation can get, if that's even possible. This thing has now gone from a borderline acceptable show to a Hall of Fame piece of crap.

I'm usually a generous person, but seriously how can you NOT give 1/5 for that episode?

I was pretty saddened. I was actually okay with this series and liked everything up until this episode. I wanted to rate it an 8 just out of personal enjoyment, but episode 9 and then reading the article about the production issues has me feeling depressed.

I'm going to drop this, not because I think it's a bad anime, I just don't want to remember it for it's low quality when the last few episodes air. I hope in the future it might get picked up again maybe by a different group to give this series the care it needs, but that's probably not in the realm of the likely to happen. I'll probably pick up the manga when I have the time.

Episode 9 example.
May get taken down eventually since the ED song is played in full.

Now I know how Naruto and other shonen fans feel like seeing such... ugliness.
I rather watch 3D animation then this.

RIP Marchen....

At least we got a good OP and ED music.

There's a mistake in the voice acting in this part... I'm too confused now >_<

Tell me if I'm the one who misunderstood something...

Please make a good BD at least.



You weren't the only one. I picked up on it too. There was too much distraction for me to focus on this short piece to remember.

Holy shit. What happened?! The quality took a tremendous nosedive!
Like I was sitting there watching the episode and actually thought to myself that with the little time I spent studying animation formally, I'd be able to create an animation with the same quality of this episode like no sweat if I actually had the time for it. The problem for me isn't the actual animation, but the consistency (if that makes sense). Like, yo, at least go for the same animation and such from episode one to whatever episode you're ending on.;; You can have stick figures for all I care, just keep it consistent. And they didn't. In some scenes, it looked like the faces were dripping.

As for the plot, hoooweee. They sure picked a bad episode for this stuff to be going down. Yet at the same time, I guess it's a good thing that MOST of this episode was kinda blah plot-wise anyway until near the end, because straight up, they weren't even letting the characters emote properly for the most part. Someone was yelling in a frustrated way at some point and they were like smiling. Like you need to be able to grasp the emotions of the characters if you want to connect with them, so this was definitely a bad episode for actually wanting to like the characters even more if you wanted to. A shame because these teams getting together to train would have been a really good opportunity for anyone to change their mind about someone if it wasn't already too late. Then you have this poor side character getting her debut this episode and lordy I feel so bad for her. First off, they planned to introduce YET ANOTHER character when they were only supposed to have three episodes left. That is already a bad move. Now they have one. Now it's a really bad move. This poor, poor character. This gives people pretty much no time to connect with her. I already thought it was bad that they introduced so many characters and just kinda made them lose so quick that they were out of the picture. You didn't even get a chance to know them-- even if they're in the opening and ending-- even the dang key visuals! So bad... and they have the nerve to introduce Wonky over here? Nah. It's just a bad move.

I do feel really bad for those who liked this show as opposed to those who disliked, were neutral, or undecided about it. This was an incredibly improper way to treat a series. And from what I read, it's been hard on the staff too. I do feel bad for them too.

I did think the premise of pretty much creating a persona of sorts based on tales was a cute little concept. I usually love that type of thing! But they went a really eh way with it. Going the battle each other route is often not as fun as many think. I think many prefer characters to work together because that's honestly a much more fulfilling endeavor when characters can genuinely create a bond that actually works, but not just for functionality. It's true that it's harder to write, but the pay off really is better. I mean really, I don't care about the fighting at all and I appreciated the parts where these girls came together way more. I would have appreciated THIS episode if we were actually given access to the emotions of the characters (which is an essential part of bonding characters genuinely). Though even with this episode, it wouldn't have been enough of a genuine bond and at this point probably would have been fanservice more or less. "Oh, we heard Japanese do pillow fights". Yeah yeah, get out of here with that. If their motive was to bond I would have believed it, but that wasn't their motive at all. So probs just fanservice if we could have actually witnessed it more.

But yeah anyway I thought that's what this show was missing, but in order to even improve upon that aspect, they would have had to go a whole other direction most likely.

Welp, I guess one more episode. I'm watching on Crunchyroll, so I'll see the end on the 5th of April I guess.

I watched the first 8 episodes during the break and really liked it, but then episode 9 happened. It's a real shame, but at least episode 10 had better animation. And @GoldenPincers wow, that's so terrible.
I still like the story, it's just sad what happened with this episode.

I guess I saw the better version of this episode. I don't have nothing to complain about the animation.

Anyway, this was a nice training camp episode. The girls need to get stronger for the upcoming fights.

The committee is full of jerks who are abusing their power.

Reading this thread in 2022 is hilarious because I just saw this episode on the Blu-ray release and it looked just as good a quality as the previous episodes. I'd heard there were some issues regarding it before I watched, and as I did I was like "what's people's problems with it, it looks fine...?" Then I see the pictures and videos posted here and holy cow lmao. Night and day difference. Blu-ray massively fixed it. Despite all the problems I'm glad they could go back later and do it justice.

It would seem Crunchyroll still has the original version of this episode... I noticed a few goofy faces in previous episodes, but this one was egregious.
