(DISCLAIMER: this poll is only about the art style! Not animation!) I honestly really miss the s1-2 art style and i feel like the art style got changed a lil TOO much in this season. I didn't recognize some of the characters they were so different looking.

Hmm before they have unique style but now the studio animating has animated a lot different anime with that style and now its characters looks similar to other characters from other anime

This one looks very good so far. Hope it won't melt. If so, it will take the cake.
3rd definetely had the worst.
I made quite a few doubtful remarks about S4 and how how it will most likely be garbage, because GEEKTOYS is (was?) arguably the worst anime studio in the industry.
Seems like so far I was wrong.
Feels good to be wrong.

season 4 without a doubt . Also DAL nightmare or queen and dead or bullet had a good Art style and quality animation .

I would give this to season 4, the style fits the anime more since I think expression is shown through this style better and looks more natural. I personally think facial expression is something can be described through written words but gets much harder when you have to draw it. It’s not that I dislike Tsunako original style for DAL, I just think that this style fits the anime better.

I really like the new art style. Yes, it’s quite different, but I think it’s much more aesthetically pleasing, especially with the use of gradients on the character designs and such.

I like season 4 the most so far since it looks like the art style from the VN.

Season 1 would be my favorite, and season 2 feels very similar.

Season 3 got inconsistent with the art style sometimes, a lot in the early episodes. I remember not liking the shot composition for some of the battles too.

Season 4 appears consistently fine for now, but the eye style and hair tinting has changed. I also think the colors look less saturated. I think Yoshino's episodes in season 1 do this a bit to create an atmosphere of rainy or foggy weather, but it's like a lesser version of the same effect is everywhere for season 4..

DAL side story dead or bullet I notice kurumi design is changed also her dress too.

Season 1 is my most favorite.

Season 2 is kinda a meh during the twin sister and diva arcs.

season 3 is kinda critical with the story.

seasonn 4 is I have to wait until full 12 episodes are out

S4 has a tons of CGI, it’s a piece of crap. GeekToys is the worst studio.

The current season is good so far but nothing can beat season 1. It was better and unique
