The situation around Sasakoi & the possible reason for the awful production quality

This thread is crazy I’m coming to the shows defense. While some aspects of the animation aren’t great the overall animation and style hasn’t been horrible. Note that I am not comparing it to the manga for I have not read it.

Imagine if they take their time and work on the anime quality to make it more enjoyable and beautiful smooth animation even though it might take an extra few months or years, But by doing that they could make the best adaptation and have a higher chance of receiving an overwhelming positive reviews with high ratings, Imagine that

Except half the information from that account on X is completely incorrect.

Hard to believe anything they say when they can't get half the details about the anime, the anime production or the number of people working on specific aspects of it correct.

Besides, I'm not "woke" enough to listen to some rando X account with a handful of followers, or to agree with cancel culture. All cancel culture does is destroy people's lives and, much of the time, they're people who had nothing to do with the supposed "crime" in the first place.

And personally, I love the anime.

Sure, it has some production issues, but the characters are sweet AF, the plot is fun, the music is cool and I love the art style. And... I'm old enough that I don't base my likes on the current "woke/cancel culture/pretend outrage" bullshit being pushed by some X users.

@WienGirl

Wow, so you don't take abuse seriously, if it's said by an X account that doesn't have a big follower base?

Animators condition in Japan is awful, and everyone knows it. If you're so sure about the statements being incorrect, then please, enlighten me as to why you believe it's incorrect, because otherwise, you're just blabbering shit without actual facts.

There are so many things wrong with this anime, and if you fail to see it, you're part of the problem. Sure, you can enjoy it as much as you want, and I'm kinda glad that you enjoy it, the poor animators really need all the praise possible because they're doing miracles in such hellish conditions.

But do me a favor and never ever doubt anyone, even if they're "not a trusted source" when the say that the staff condition for this anime is bad, for all you could know, it could be even worse than described, and you're attempting to gaslight people into thinking this is a "woke cancel culture" copy pasta with no actual source to back up your facts.

This is not a thing of cancel culture or being woke, animators with poor conditions on their work is a real issue and it needs to be tackled.

@CrimsonWanderer

Here you go. Anitrendz explains it well enough. (So many mistakes in that X thread, I highly doubt the owner has spoken to anyone who works for any animation company involved with Whisper Me a Love Song as, if she/he had, they wouldn't be spouting bullshit).

Of course, basic research on the anime production, the staff, the practice of outsourcing (happens with every anime studio) etc would have given you your answer about the many mistakes by the owner of that X account in about 30 seconds.

But you prefer to believe a rando X account based in Germany who writes in appalling English, and says they "spoke" to another rando who supposedly works on the anime, but who isn't named either.

An X account, by the way, run by someone who spends a fair amount of their time slamming anime, and anime studios, and then complaining about the owners of other FAR more successful X accounts who disagree with them, just to appear "smart". (Hint: They're not, as they don't seem to understand even the basics of anime production).

And, nope, never said conditions for animators in Japan aren't often terrible. They are. MAPPA for instance has an horrendous problem with it. But... I don't believe the owner of some low-level X account who has suddenly decided they're a "journalist".

And who now seems to be delighted garbage sites like CBR and Reddit have picked up the gossip they're pushing -- sites also populated by thousands of shit-stirring morons, I'll add.

And if you think the Japanese give a good goddamn about what westerners think about their anime, their animation studios or their working conditions, you apparently don't understand Japanese culture either.

Sure, Japan has a tiny minority of angry "wokesters" who are desperately trying to emulate western idiots determined to prove their supposed "moral superiority" regarding things like the anime industry, but they are largely thought of in Japan as "crazy" and, thus, ignored. Rightfully so.
