Just came here to comment on the animation. Yes, it felt like someone who only knew powerpoint and capcut made this show and called it a day. What happened with all the improvements throughout season one? Besides the failing animation, the directing and story in this episode just felt less engaging. It was all over the place. Perhaps it was heavily affected with the poor animation. Really hope they wouldn't do the same mistakes for the next episode.

Was the first episode motion comic as well... it kinda felt like Wallmart quality compared to season 1. I don't mind motion comics of manhua's but i did expect more of an anime... well, i guess it's not an anime anymore as it's a motion comic. Does that mean the motion comics from manhuas will be added to MAL as well ? if so, my library of watched "anime" will grow a lot... on the plus side, i do like the artstyle tho.

This series isn’t very good in keeping the characters they’ve introduced being even somewhat relevant for a period of time. I mean I don’t remember half of them at this point, and neither these characters who got teamed up with Isagi. Yeah, and for some reason dude has really bad luck that he landed in the team with Rin and Shido, or more like I guess, he the main guy that’s why he landed. Leaving all that stuff about hyping these seeded players aside, what is actually happening with the matches lol????

I held back from saying anything over animation last time but yeah, this is just moving manga panels lol… coloured manga panels, to be precise. I don’t remember this series struggling this much last season with the matches, but yeah here, just the second episode and we’re out of juice. At least the characters seem to be running fine enough, so some saving grace. Not sure anymore, but can only hope it’ll get decent enough(?). Btw the usual with Isagi… he’ll bounce back, we know.
@Softhenic03 cannt agree more, out of 10 players i only know 3 of them

just awful; talktalktalktalktalk but more importantly the terrible cgi and still frames. sure, the art is nice, but they definitely cannot animate for the life of themselves.

DVD moving logo has better animation than this. Logo hitting corner brings more hype than that Shido shot.
@Gekko_ua thanks to your comment I can say this episode at least brought a little bit of fun to my day. remember school movies and the teacher would be talking but we'd all be waiting for the corner logo jackpot?

There has been a clear lack in animation quality compared to season 1. This episode was basically a slideshow for 75% of the episode.

Well, fuck... the fall off was real. Disgraceful to see such a good manga take such a downturn after all the time they had to properly animate this, this might be the first anime I ever drop in my life. Shit looks like it was edited in CapCut.
@dior Same. I too have never dropped an anime. Some CapCut edits are fire, don't you think?

I know S1 wasn't incredible either but it had a charm to it, it was fun at least.

I'm a bit gutted by what I just witnessed here though. Pretty shocked not an iota of care was dropped into the scenes with movement.

Individual non-action character scenes are drawn better so far in S2, but the action scenes are ridiculously PowerPointed.

I'll take S1's not-great-but-still-there "fun bad" animation waaaaaaaaaaaay over this.

Lmao the famous Shidou scratching meme is here, and i can't stop my laugh with all those low effort movement. But eh? I feel you, Yoichi. Back to zero again, right? At least the challenge kinda big here, so let's aside the shameless slideshow, i may focus only to how Yoichi manage to break through those insane mark from the assassin.

Animation took a downgrade and is a little more stiffer, but Chigari really did good though. He locked in so well.

I usually don't care about the animation. But this is an atrocity. It is not about the still images. The composition, timing, visual effects, everything was off. The episode was done with a 12 year old's idea of "cool". I wasn't able to focus on the episode at all. It is almost a cognito-hazard at this point.

I understand the complaints about the animation, but honestly, it doesn't bother me much—in fact, it doesn't bother me at all. Perhaps the exaggerated close-ups of Isagi's face at first, but aside from that, I can fully enjoy it with great enthusiasm.

I find it incredible how the story is unfolding, even though it's only the second episode. Chigiri is proving to be his own MVP. Shidou is one of those characters that sometimes make me uncomfortable, yet I can't bring myself to dislike him—naturally superior, I suppose.

Nah they weren't kidding when they said it was png lock. I can literally see this as motion manga panels with OSTs and some extra effects. They just put flashy lights and moving characters.

Karasu is the goat. He's the only one in the top 6 who has the most well rounded abilities imo (both defensive and offensive)

As of now Isagi's totally out of the equation. He truly is average as of now. He levels up with other high class players but individually he's shit in every aspect other than reading the field. By himself he can't create goals, neither can he defend and shut down attacks all by himself as of now. The NEL arc really did wonders for my boy.

1st match is between Team A and Team B. Isagi Yoichi is in the 1st match itself. Chigiri is in his opponent team in the match.

Isagi finds it hard to make an impact in the match. He’s cornered by Karasu, and founds ignored. But then he finds a place he can fit in.
