| people complaining about the character designs will hopefully shut up now on how good the animation looks simple character designs aka animation friendly designs helps animators draw fast and make more sakuga or good animation |
| Never dought Production IG |
| PV looks cool as hell, it reminds me of CSM for some reason. Another one gets added to the PTW list haha, I'm excited for this one! |

| There are many negative reviews from manga readers. I guess that I won't watch it. |
 |
| This looks so beautiful. A less talented studio would've made the kaiju CGI, but Production IG is the best studio in the industry, so of course they instead gave us this beauty. Gonna be the best animated shonen me thinks. |

I guess that I won't watch it. I agree with you, I read few chapters and don't like the manga. |

| I love the manga and the art style in the manga, I especially adore the character designs. Unfortunately the hacks in charge of producing the anime decided to spit in the face of the manga fans by completely butchering the human character designs, it's just sad. At this rate they were better off picking literally anyone else to be in charge of the designs smh. It is what it is, I guess, if there are sequels for the anime they better fix these goddamn horrendous anime character designs. Anyways, I'll skip the anime and continue enjoying the manga. |

 |
| The PV looks so good. |

strafe_gg said: deg said: Yes, I've seen it and it looks really good and I totally understand why there is the simplification in the first place. Though You didn't get what i had tried to say. They could've used the same amount of lines for their character designs without changing the shapes of their facesdid you see how expressive the animation is on the PV? its thanks to the simple character designs of it youre being too unreasonable to the character designer and chief animation director here, the naruto faces is his character drawing style thats all, most animators have their own unique drawing style anyway plus the naruto CD and CAD here is a legendary super animator so he can draw very fast so good for production schedule |
strafe_gg said: Unrecognisable lol 🤣🤣🤣 They just simplify the art style to improve the animation. Seriously it's looks too good. I thought it's gonna be a CGI mess but Production IG being one of the best anime studio desided to give us 2D kaijuu.deg said: Most definitely won't, since there's a huge difference between decreasing the amoung of lines in the character designs (ex. jjk s2, csm, hell's paradise and a lot more) and changing their faces in an almost unrecognizable waypeople complaining about the character designs will hopefully shut up now on how good the animation looks simple character designs aka animation friendly designs helps animators draw fast and make more sakuga or good animation |

| If only good animation could help the weak and cliche plot as well... ...though atleast I remember the start being decent enough, so there is something to look forward to. |
 |
| Give less fuck about the character design but I wasn't so hook with the manga, hope the anime gives out a better experience |
| As a manga reader since chapter 12, it warms my heart that we're already at the stage where there are people who hate it without even giving it a chance. Very excited to see this animated! |
| I don't love the manga, but I could see this being a bit hit. We don't get too many kaiju anime, and the production values seem good (so far). |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| This trailer brought my excitement up again after the bad impressions I had early on with the lackluster character designs, in some shots here these look much better than that, and on others do not, but that will help with the animation fluidity and in high motion should be just fine. OST seems like will be fitting to the show and deliver, from that last scene, faith restored for this adaptation. |
