I don't understand the unnecessary hate on every fucking MAPPA's work. I know they're going to a more simple artstyle, but IT DOESN'T MEAN THE ANIMATION IS BAD

If you're saying I am saying nonsense, I am an animator, currently working on a small studio, and I am used to be a 2d animator before going to 3d.
Artwork and animation are 2 separate things. Artwork focuses more on the art/painting/drawing, since they're not moving. Animation focuses more on the movements. Unlike drawing, you need to draw more than 1 drawing, which is really painful to do. What they could do to NOT LET THEIR WORKERS DIE is making THE ARTSTYLE MORE SIMPLE. With less details, they can focuses more on ANGLES, CAMERA WORKS, CHOREOGRAPHY, AND MORE. They need to make more INTERESTING ANGLES more than just BLINKY SKY EYES THAT GOT COVERED OVER A FUCKING SUNGLASSES.

If you still shit on this anime's animation, show me your best painting and try to make a 2 minutes animation of it. Don't forget to use 12 principles of animation and also nice angle of camera on em or your animation will be fucked up. Don't forget to add the *details* like highlight and shadows, make sure to not let any single frame off model and try to make everytime you pause, it will still look like a single piece of painting.

People quite literally do not understand the fundamental basics of what animations is, what makes it good or bad, what separates it from art and style, and why they are so fucking stupid. The uninformed will always bark loud, but they aren't much better than actual dogs with how little they understand of the world. It's the same as when people tried to argue that naruto vs pain was poorly animated by grabbing stills, which betrayed how completely unaware they were of what animation even is from a 5 year old's standpoint

firstly, even if people have the wrong definition of animation, their point still stands. it looks like shit.
secondly, what does you being an animator have to do with poeples opinions? i've seen people saying they dont like how redline looks and i couldn't disagree with them. (someone doesn't like dynamic shots, are you gonna tell them they're wrong?)
and finally, will it solve any problem if go to every haters door and explain to them that what they hate isn't the animation but the character models and the new artstyle? i imagine they'll go something like, 'k but i still hate it'. so i efectively wouldn't solve anything.

side note: i dont get why THIS gets this kind of treatment. people try to hate on everything everytime something new comes along (i myself am a bright example of that) so why does jjk get this fan shield around it? as i see it, the anime didn't last nearly long enough to cultivate such crazy fans, and manga readers usually dont care too deeply about the anime so, why?

Lol, I think we have way more of these pointless threads than actual number of people criticizing the animation. Relax, dude, no one is going to prevent JJK from airing, even if they believe it has bad animation.  Do you guys even understand the concept of "subjectivity"?

I have no disagreements about your main point, I believe the discussion around animation is a style issue, but I just wanna say, about your side note - literally every fandom gets defensive about attacks to their fave anime my guy, the way jjk fans are moving is really nothing surprising. Every fandom of significant size will make posts like this to address random issues. Be it animation or whatever. Nothing new under the sun.

thats true, but we've seen this exact thing play out a million times before, for example with ATO or MHA or FMA. and this might very well be just me not being involved enough in the jjk circles but i personally have seen more threads defending it than attacking it, which was just strange to me. regardless, i think you're right.

I get both sides opinions, why are people so passionate about jjk's visual. Tbh, i love Mappa's art style in their many projects. As an artist i always appreciate originality, peculiarity, uniqueness and otherness. Those are the characteristics that make things worthy of my attention, which always pique my interest. Things that are different.
In short, what I want to say is that, people who do not search for these characteristics, won't ever be satisfied. And i get it. Hundred people, hundred tastes tho.
Love yaa ✌🏻✨

i totally agree with you, i don't know how it's difficult to animate but now people are too toxic, they aren't understanding. they want more, more, more but they don't understand the work that is behind the anime.

P. S: imo i really like the animation of jjk and I don't understand why people critisize it.

So it's wrong to try to defend what you like for wrong reasons?

it might be cuz im not involved enough in jjk circles but i see far fewer attackers than defenders. so after a while, it's like people are trying to defend against their imaginary enemies. for every other fandom, it starts by elites hating then normies defending, but for this one, it's everyone defending with a few off hand comments just mentioning that they didn't like it.

and for clarity's sake, i dont have a stance on this. i tried to read jjk before the first season got announced and i couldn't get through it. (it had all the problems of CSM but worse) so most likely, i wont even watch this season.

I think they made a thread to inform some reviews who think it's bad on MAL

And this is not the first time I've seen a lot of people hate on MAPPA and their anime cus of animation even when they don't understand it.


Also JJK season 2 received some hate for being animated the way it is on a lot other platforms rather than MAL

There are more posts about people who think the animation is bad than actual people saying that the animation is bad.

Anyway, it's everything but bad. And soon we will see how the fights will be like.

Also some people might have problem with the artstyle which I think it's fair, it's normal to not like changes. But they will eventually get used to it...it's a matter of time.

I feel like the problem is people got so spoiled by new animes that come out with insanely fantastic animation like Demon Slayer that they think every anime should have the budget and animation of those animes. Stop being so ungrateful and be happy that animes have reached that far when it comes to quality.

a lot of times in between animation are taken as screenshots and posted as proof of bad animation

to judge bad animation you have to look at the movements and some fans thinks if the movements of the animation is jerky or funny then it must be bad animation too when one principle of animation is exaggeration like squash and stretch

People repeatedly post this to "prove" the artstyle and animation is worse. Show me how often S1 looks like this ffs. Simpler art leads to far more fluid and clean animation. It's just common sense

My guy, let them whine to their heart content. In the end they will watch the show and MAPPA Studio and the other production companies involved will get more money and in turn make more seasons for us to enjoy. Take it from someone who have been to 3 of the most toxic fandoms in the hsitory of anime; AOT, Vinland Saga and Chainsaw Man. In the end their whining will mean nothing and only give us more seasons to enjoy.

pov: you can't accept negative opinions that contradict your opinions. whether or not animation is good is purely subjective for everyone. you'd be a clown to criticise the small minority that dislike animation purely because you can't accept that some animations don't meet everyone's personal criteria of "good animation"

and just because someone can't animate or produce art does not invalidate their opinion otherwise the vast majority of anime watchers' opinions would be invalid.

yes.

if it's opinion, we're talking about, sure you can dislike how something looks despite how technically impressive it may be.

there is a difference between not liking something, and calling something bad.

if someone genuinely thinks redline has "bad" animation, yes, they are very, very wrong. and anyone who has ever touched a pencil or knows anything about animation would tell them the same.

I think when people say a show has bad animation, they mean to say that they don't like the visuals, but don't have the vocabulary to express that.

All we can do is continue to be precise with our language and hopefully others will catch on.
