The human character designs still look terrible compared to the awesome designs in the manga. A shame, maybe they'll pull their heads out of their asses if this ever gets future seasons and fix the character designs so they don't look like dogshit.

Yeah, that actually looks good, just the static char. designs were looking really off. Also, I didn't realize it was Production I.G.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

They simplify the art style to improve the animation and this looks better that all of your favourite anime.

probably they drew the designs that simple for the animation to be more fluid.

This definitely looks very good and far better than the initial character sketches but plz don't expect Tengoku lvl of animation from this show. It was a passion project and a lot of Mob Pyscho animators helped in the production of that.

The thing is character design arts for every single anime in the existance look extremely bland, but people just decided that they want to hate just on this one for some unknown reason.

yes its called animation friendly design so that animators can draw fast thousands of frames instead of just drawing one frame like on manga panels

The animation looks fluid and smooth, but character designs looks number one bullshit. for me, kaiju n 8 manga already have a simple style, isn't a tokyo ghoul or berserk "impossible style to adapt".

so this changes was a literaly bad move.

This is Production IG we're talking about, the number 1 studio in the industry that all animation directors look up to, of course this is going to look beautiful.

Ehh... Production IG is what I consider a husk, because since the very beginning they never had any big names attached to the studio itself (somehow forgot about Oshii, Kise and Nishio, still their participation in productions nowadays tends to be quite small.), which explains the huge disparity between all of the shows they have produced. So I'd be more on the lookout for who the director/AD is or maybe who some of the producers or PAs are before jumping to conclusions.

If by "huge disparity between all of the shows they have produced" you mean they range from "considerably above the average anime" to "some of the best looking TV show in the history of anime", yeah, they're inconsistent on that scale. Besides, if the actual show looks even close to this PV, it'll still look better than every anime airing this current season.

Good thing they didn't animate that one, just worked as supervisor producer for Sola Digital Arts, which did all the CGI work. Also, it doesn't look good, but "shit" is a stretch.

I think that would be the way to go if it's an art direction focused show
but it's about monster fights and I don't think we need strong drawings in those, we need fluid and movement heavy action
so naturally they redo the character designs to fit the medium

There was an article on ANN last month about Anime Expo, and regarding Production I.G., there was one specific paragraph that mentioned it "had the same producer as Heavenly Delusion", so...

The animation, Kaiju's, Music and backgrounds look hella good but why the character designs look so awful compared to Manga 😔
And the character designs are not even that complex compared to other Manga's

If they made a mediocre show like Tengoku watchable, I might take the risk of watching this too.

The music choice, and the blowing nose scene makes me think this will be what I wanted out of Chainsaw Man when I first saw it's trailers, and heard what people were saying about it: that it was absurd, but not depressing in it's brutality. Not to say I didn't like Chainsaw Man, because I did, but it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be, rather it was depressing, and thrilling, and even the later jokes didn't seem to lighten the mood, instead they maintained it. Hopefully, this'll fill that void, because I like absurdity when it's lighthearted more than when it's depressing.

@alpha_shadow looks good to me. Anime and manga are 2 different mediums.
