Nah even though Madhouse is still not at best, I still support them. TBH, Madhouse is the reason to the rise of other anime studios

This doesn't look good tbh, the plot looks generic asf, and the artstyle kinda sucks, looks like a bad copy of studio ghibli's artstyle, Madhouse era was in the 2000s, now they should die once and for all, stop being a joke CrapHouse.

MAPPA ruleZ

Ignore these haters. In fact, I feel like laughing whenever I read their nonsense. Mappa is just like toei to me. I like the studio but can't be compared to what I feel towards wit or madhouse.

This look more like yuasa's Anime ,

Where? This poster is too well drawn for that lol.

it doesn't totally look like yuasa's Anime but there are few aspects which I find very relatable to yuasa's art style especially the colour design and the character movement ,

There is something ironic about that Madhouse 2021 anime looking like Ghibli's brief attempts to be youth in 80s .

Wow, this staff, this design, looks great, high expectations

Although i somewhat agree on the plot being somewhat generic i cant agree with saying the artstyle looks bad considering that it allows for a lot more character movement, which is already seen a lot in the pv. This staff is amazing, it should look like one of the best animated shows of year.

This looks nothing like a Yuasa anime. No offense, his artstyle is way more out-there than this.

yaa , I know that , it doesn't totally look like yuasa's Anime but there are few aspects which I find very relatable to yuasa's art style especially the colour design and the character movement ,

One the other hand some people seem to compare this to Ghibli movies which which I strongly disagree , Ghibli movies use lot of colours and the background animation is very detailed and the characters look more like 90s Disney characters
