I'd heard so much about The Yozakura Family manga that I think I set my expectations too high. It's not hitting the way I thought/hoped it would. I was wondering how those of you who have read the manga feel about it.

Read it back during lockdown. I had fun with it. The wrong studio just adapted it. This is exactly how Spy Family's reception would have been if Silver Link did it instead of Cloverworks/Wit.
The animation is just mediocre so the moments don't hit as hard like in the manga

Yes, it's meeting my expectations. As a manga reader, I'm impressed. You all should expect big things.

I've always found Yozakura to be a middle of the pack manga, so I didn't really have any expectations for the anime and my enjoyment of it is pretty much the same as the manga. The action scenes are going to be the real deciding factor.

Love it.Some people expecting many actions from this anime due to its genre and type of anime but people forgot that this is a slice of life in the middle of hard action.There is a lot of action incoming but as of now,we will see more of slice of life stuff in the guise of action.

So,yes,it liven up to my expectations and the studio animation does fit the manga artstyle

The pacing, animation and soundtrack could've been better, but it's not the worst thing I've seen. I didn't have high expectations for Silver Link anyways. It's watchable, but like the other used said, it feels like the wrong studio adapted it.

What animation is bad?

I was thinking it was good this whole time.

Your standards must be extremely high.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Didn't say the animation is bad. I said it was mediocre as in average. I don't have high expectations. What I consider good animation in this type of genre would be spy × family or even Hinamatsuri.

I logged into MAL for the first time in a while to reply to this, but the manga is my all-time favorite series. I think the adaptation is great so far. The thing about Mission: Yozakura Family is the manga has been going for so long that it's had a long time to build an audience, and it's needed that because MYF is a very slow-burning story compared to most other modern shonen stories. For where the anime is at content-wise, it's a lot better received than the start of the manga was and I think that's in large part thanks to the creative pacing. The director, Mirai Minato, has clearly put heavy thought into how best to translate the early stages of a manga that ran the risk of being cancelled into an entertaining anime for their target audience. These changes have made the anime a unique experience compared to the manga that makes me more excited every week. People gas Mission: Yozakura Family because it truly grows into something amazing, but you're not going to see the full picture this early in the series. By the end of S1, I'm sure people will have high praises for the anime because even Silver Link doubters who've read the manga have to admit there's an obvious level of passion and effort with this adaptation. Also, I love the sound track and voice acting. These are already top-tier imo.

When some says “the animation is average” it means that they did the bare minimum work to produce the basic standard for animation.

When I hear this, how can I not assume you are calling the animation bad?

And I would disagree with your judgement of the animation.

i think the early stages of yozakura were kinda weak in the manga, and the animation quality aint helpin it. its more of just a fun slice of life until like 5 or 6 volumes in when it picks up and the plot starts to hit all the right beats

i got disappointed too when i first read the manga, it was just boring and i'm not a fan of its mediocre art either, but surprisingly silverlink's adaptation is actually not as bad as the source material for me, visually at least even though it's not that impressive. i'd still keep my expectations low for the rest of it.

I think its like a bit below average, almost every ep feels like the energy is a step below the energy it needs and the delivery of jokes that come off as snappy in the manga are telegraphed or drawn out too much.

@JizzyHitler Thanks. As an anime only it just feels like they stop short of making it good like the plan was just make it watchable.

Wearing your hate comments as a badge of honor? Nice. I should've done that.
