It's not even bad CGI I don't see why people would care.

I haven't seen any IMS anime cause they didn't look like they would be worth the look. I love mecha so I will watch this anyways.

ims hate is weird cuz i doubt most ppl even watched much of ims and just follow the memes set by trash posters

What do you mean by "Much of IMS" since there is not much too watch to watch anyway, They have only produced four tv series till now, only have 15 entries in the database that also If you count 3-min specials and some ova. Must be pretty delusional to think you have to watch much to judge them.

Do people hate IMS because of the anime they've produced or the actual animation quality?

I've actually never seen any shows from IMS (because they haven't done anything for my taste) so I can't say anything about that.

Production IMS has yet to produce something worth watching. The best they've done so far was 'harmless and boring'.
PV seems rather bland.
Best to not expect anything above mediocre.

The character designs look pretty decent.

Oct 23, 2015 3:19 AM by FireEmblemIke24

Those designs look awful, reminds of Chaika, the original character designer works mostly on hentai too lol.
And IMS? Yeah, not happening.

Winter 2016? I'll still be watching IBO. One mecha anime will do for me lol.
