@Daviljoe193 Is it that bad? I'm still just planning to watch the first season.

Nagi spin-off is awful. It repeats the manga. They make it only to gain more money.

There's definitely some animation on both PVs, but overall they're still using the good 'ol "still image with effects" method, so I don't get my hopes up on this arc either...
