They naturally have to make a good impression so I assume they spent a bit more on episode 1

Usual practice. I can't say anything about the usual 2D animation, in my opinion, it's done as well as in the first episode. But CGI, indeed, began to look more bad, after all Seven Arcs is a relatively small studio for such a project.

And we should not forget that the main task of the first episode is to attract the viewer's attention also due to beautiful graphics.

I hope it doesn’t go towards the ecchi side of anime as I think the story is good I don’t like too much like hentaj when I’m looking for a anime let’s keep that stuff in hentai. Overall tho the animation works but I agree it isnt the best

Can’t say that I’m seeing anything subpar with the animation. (Not that it’s ever that deep) I don’t watch anime to critique how well it’s animated, rather for the story it’s telling and what I was watching was compelling enough to divert my attention from the “subpar” animation.

@deg

If a series has heart even trash can become gold.

Look at gushing over magical girls, studio has subpar animation but they make the best out of it enhancing the ecchi,
and having really well directed scenes with superb sound design.

Mato seihei falls completely flat in just everything lmao.

Honestly I liked the animation in episode 2 better I still think action looks way better in the manga.

Anime has come a long way since 2006. Not everyone has been into anime for that long, but some people should revisit the past to better appreciate what we have now. Personally, I can't say the animation for this episode was subpar.

unless the animation is as noticeably bad as that one season of Seven Deadly Sins, then I don’t see why the guy who made this thread is trippin’

It certainly wasn't as horny as everyone had made it out to be. I was expecting first episode of High School DxD levels of ecchi. Instead it was less lewd than your average episode of Food Wars or Classroom of the Elite. (But I repeat myself.)

From the get go it looked like it was going to be subpar. The animation just doesn’t do the manga any justice at all

I've observed rather large changes in real-time visuals of video games since 2006. Unfortunately can't say that about anime. Even in video games changes haven't been that substantial since 2004 Far Cry or 2005 Jade Empire or F.E.A.R.. Character models looked great in Final Fantasy XIII (2009), but the game was too linear, limited and corridor-like for me. After i7-980 and Radeon 5870, which came out in 2009-2010, changes in hardware were a lot slower than they used to be, which is probably the most significant reason. Also mobile gaming and a lack of greater ambition.

Here's a screenshot from one of the best looking open-world game of 2006 (TES IV):


And here's a screenshot from one of the best looking open-world game of 2022 (HFW):


I'm not impressed by how this anime version of Mabotai looks. I recommend reading the manga over watching (I used to follow it since it started coming out), it's relatively well drawn. Unfortunately this animation is boring to watch when you already know the plot from the original comic from Takahiro and Youhei Takamura. I can certainly like stylised or unrealistic graphics, but this isn't awesome in my opinion, and I don't mean the overarching plot or the tropes. It just doesn't look great at all, in any area. And btw, I think that this series is oversexualized for my tastes.

Perhaps in the near future, AI will help with making anime look and sound significantly better without spending any more precious human work hours on making them.

This is Seven Arcs we are talking about, what did you expect. This manga deserved a better studio for its anime adaptation.

God it cracks me up to listen to those of you complaining about the animation quality. I’m sure those of you doing so have already produced higher quality shows and are eager to show us so we can agree how much better yours is.. no? Don’t have a running anime to compare? You mean you didn’t spends hundreds of hours away from your family and loved ones pouring your life blood into your successful project? Huh…? How strange to put down others work when you yourselves have done nothing to warrant your baseless opinion.. strange.. Here’s a thought, if you don’t like the content then please by all means don’t continue to watch it. Not only is it terrible manners it makes you look silly.. just something to think about. I don’t know about the others but I’m patiently waiting for those of you complaining to release YOUR anime so we can see how it stacks up..

@acidbart Dumbest response I've ever read.

You got to be a professional chef to critique food? A film director to critique movies?

The animation, the direction, the cuts, the censorship…

Yet another case of ruined source material.
