Date A Live (light novel)
| They just know that it'll be the die-hard fans only that'll watch it so they don't care. Bad thing it bogged down a lot of the emotional scenes though |
| They even used the horrible CGI in scenes that were just the characters talking sometimes. |
| "Well, she's flatter than a pancake" -Mimi Alpacas "Woof" -Tobiichi Origami "Are you trying to turn the dormitory into a strip club!?! -Atena Saotome |
| This problem was more glaring in 4th season. Anyway, Geektoys is rather infamous for their bad visuals. |

People love to complain about CGI I’d also like to argue that the cgi wasn’t all that bad. At least compared to the cgi in bocchi the rock’s concerts Ah yes, the usual CSM CGI hate. CSM had one of the best looking CGI in recent years which blended in nicely even though it was minimal when talking about how much of it there was in the whole season. I myself don't like CGI at all since 95% of the time it looks like absolute ass. Now for DAL CGI... That was a fuckin joke, lets be honest here. It was jank as heck, looked like plastic dolls trying to do some movement and it wasn't only for like a few scenes, there were almost full episodes of just CGI fights and whatever. Even when nothing was happening, the character models were in the damn CGI... I don't even understand how do people rate this season as 10/10. Half of the shit that was going on barely made any sense. Tbh, if it wasn't for Kurumi, I would have either dropped this series after the first few seasons or just stopped watching the new ones. |

| Game studio with not enough 2D artists, time constraints and budget constraints to hire competent freelancers - some combination of above 3. |

| It was honestly bothering but not that much, there really isn't anyone who go to watch Date A Live because of the animation. |

| I agree with OP. The CGI in this season was horrible, and very clunky. |
 |
| There are 3 things that I want to say: 1. Date a live was never the best looking show, the fights always looked stiff, and by s3 it was basically a power point presentation. Besides MAYBE S1, seasons 4 and 5 have far better fight scenes, even when they are in CGI. 2. The art style is so much nicer now. S1-S3 looked like every other anime. completely generic. But s4 and s5 gave the show an art style that stands out so much more and gives it a real identity. 3. The most important fight of the season which was from episode 8, looked absolutely fantastic, and was by far the best looking fight in the entire series. |

| @Piromysl Are they? they have barely made any shows but dead mount death play looked pretty decent. And the 2 Kurumi mini movies looked great, I think this was clearly a budget/time issue. Though I will say, s1-3 didn't look great either. S3 in particular looked abysmal. Just because the problem with animation is "cgi" instead of other issues, it doesn't make it worse. I would actually say it looked better than the early seasons. Maybe not better than s1, but s2 and specially s3 are well below it. |

The fact that 93% of their anime has the exact same animation quality issues (With Plunderer and Ningen Fushin being the worst ones out of them) should tell you their credible as a studio lol. Not to mention they almost went bankrupted couple of months ago (Well, not really bankrupt but being merged with their parent company) due to all those below average products they've made so far. |

| @MahiaErebeaNegi Have you seen the average anime? It doesn't look better than their works, If anything I would say they are like a 6/10 studio. they are definitely not the best, not even close. But they are certainly not bad enough to be infamous for it. And again, dead mount death play actually looked really decent. And idk if I can credit this to the studio since it's mainly thanks to the staff, but that show also had fantastic music and sound design. |

APolygons2 said: Have you seen the average anime? It doesn't look better than their works Give me an example of any anime that came anywhere near as close as these:  The only recent examples I could think that are even comparable are this and this rather infamous one lol. GEEKTOYS is just Studio A-CAT but at least somewhat more competent and knew exactly when to not mess things up (DAL IV/V for example). I would agreed that they're far from being the worst, but a lot of people certainly do overlooked their shitty record because DAL IV/V ended up being so good that they already forgot about the other bad anime they've made in the past few years. It's miracle that they even managed to made DAL and DMDP looked as good as it did. APolygons2 said: If anything I would say they are like a 6/10 studio. For me, I would give them 5.5/10 rating (6/10 is way too much for them) at best and 4/10 at worst. |

| @MahiaErebeaNegi I think the difference in our opinion is mainly from the fact that I have not seen the shows you named as their worst, and you sèem to have not seen dead mount death play which is them at their best (it has like a 6.5-7/10 production value) I mean just watch this fight: https://youtu.be/pU788UvCCuE?si=C6gOSbj69WhiIv0w I'll be it its the best looking fight in season 1, but it looks pretty damn great. |

There's a reason why the other guy claimed GEEKTOYS is quite infamous for their bad visual/animation quality on this thread. None of the other anime they worked on even come close to DMDP's production level at all, let alone DAL IV/V level of quality. Not sure about Migi and Dali tho since I haven't watch it. |
