Mistakes were made, and it's the fact that it's all 3DCG instead of the 2D-3D hybrid that's in a Pretty franchise anime also you can't get rid of the sexy from pole dancing, sorry Avex; you failed, but at least you tried.

Have a gold ⭐.

I love it, i adore cheap looking video gamey 3D anime like Waza no Tabibito and W-Tails Cat: A Strange Presence.
Gonna enjoy this anime so much.

Aside from the weird 2D-3D hybrid, I think the worse part was the fact that Hinano's facial expressions aren't animated (and if they are then it's really hard to tell since they use a lot of far shots or never do a close-up on her face properly). Like, I can hear the concern and worry in her voice about trying to keep the planetarium running but her expressions don't show that. She's less animated compared to her friend and it's kinda upsetting when you know that Hinano's the main protagonist (and narrative) we'll be following as the viewer.

I don't know if they'll fix this in future episodes when the series starts airing proper, but I've ultimately decided to not check this out anymore. I was previously curious to see how they'd go about it (already had pretty low expectations after finding out the same writer who did Pride of Orange is working on this series), but Hinano's animation reminds me a lot of the protag in Pokemon Sun/Moon with how they just lack expressions most of the time.

I am an adult and have seen pole dancing in various forms... this just looks so awkward....I hope they make up for the bad movements with good character development or other things.
I usually also love bad crappy cgi (heck i gave gallerians a 10) but this is just terrible

I'm not seeing any effort put into direction, which, as Ordet/SANZIGEN have taught us, is the way you make 3D work.

To be fair I was never really that interested in the project, but this little taste is enough to let me know I'd be bored out of my mind.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

Rage you replayed KH games recently so you may get this... the first 30 seconds reminded me of Sora swinging on the poles xD or Aqua in that short game she had (not BBB). The music, the night sky, just all of it haha. This actually kind of made me interested when I wasn't prior.

so this is some pseudo ballet bullshit instead of explicit fap material, pretending to be artsy serious dance without even a panty shot, let alone proper stripping. and it's cg on top. that's a 1/10 in my book.

I know absolutely nothing about pole-dancing but this was sort of interesting? Don't know if I'll watch more but maybe..

main girl's planetarium is closing, and all  the friend can think about ... is the homemade sandwiches LOL
the planetarium needs clients ... so what about taking her classmates there... for free? :D

while trying to come up with ideas, they saw a performance, which made her interested in pole dance, i mean, at least in this anime, pole dancing looks nice (even if i read already people complaining about needing to have naked skin to be able to do this dance)

it's quite sexy too, look at those camera angles lol
can't imagine a shy girl doing something like that tho
the dancer is happy that they asked her, it's not everyday that someone get's interested in trying something they just saw for the 1st time and get the courage to ask ... but apparently it's impossible... oh no
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

Looks like a v-tuber skit.
And not a fan of the sanitized pole dancing approach. Aside from reducing fan service it also removes the most interesting in your face potential conflict from the story, selling out with sex appeal in order to keep an otherwise unprofitable business afloat, there is cynicism vs morals conflict to be had here.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
