I noticed that the animation quality seems to have decreased slightly. Some scenes, faces and facial expressions look a bit off. Nagatoros noodle arms are looking weird compared to season 1 as well and overall the first episode was a bit stiff. 

Telecom did a great job with season 1 so I was a bit disappointed about the studio change but since they changed to the same studio that animated for example Komi-San I thought we might even get a better result but that does not seem to be the case. 

It’s not a major issue and maybe it will get better the next episodes. 
Do you guys feel the same about this?

I don't think it's really worse,just a little different animation style. Overall, it's about the same quality in my eyes. it just looks worse because most people are used to last seasons animation.

I get what you mean. Dunno if the S2 animation is worse, but it is somewhat different than S1. Nothing major tho. We'll probably get used to it after a couple more eps. Telecom did a great job with S1 and OLM are a good studio but since they have different teams for their productions the quality differs. For example Summertime Render and Komi were done by Team Kojima and Nagatoro by Team Inoue.

FYI the studio change does not really matter here since majority of the core staff from season 1 are still working on season 2. iirc the only known change in staff is the Director.

I thought a similar thing when I first watched the PV's; I do not think it is worse, but I liked the previous style better. It's not something that will make me stop watching the show, but it certainly makes something feel off with it as you said. I bet and hope that feeling will eventually leave the more episodes I watch, though.

Also, just in my opinion, the previous animation resembled the manga's art style more than the current one.

What are your thoughts on this, y'all?

Looks and feels the same, granted i haven't watched S1 since it aired. So if i were to watch it after this i might notice some differences. Didn't this happen to MHA too were they changed the director and something felt off there as well?

I don't remember much but I feel like it has less impact scenes, like less "close-up nagatoro face" scenes and is missing something from S1 less emphasis, casual fast dialoge, and some light idk

i’m js damn happy that we got a season 2… didn’t rlly have the chance to notice any difference between the quality of animation cos s1 was q long ago. anyways i rlly love this storyline and how the plot is played out, one of the rare ‘tropes’ that i rlly enjoy is when the girl gets possessive over her crush which i find rlly funny

If no one told me there was a studio change, I most likely wouldn't have even noticed. But no it's not worse, just very very slightly different.

Who actually cares about animation for a gag rom com? The animation is more than good enough for what it’s adapting

There was nothing outstanding about animation of S1 and so ep1 of S2, it's not like comedies need it.

If anything it is better. OLM is actually a good studio with budget.

It’s probably not worse just slightly different because a different studio is animating season 2, though I personally didn’t notice any difference but that’s just me

I did think it was a bit worse. A lot more still frames, lesser movement and interesting camera angles. Made the first episode feel a bit stiff and lacking. Also, I feel like the lighting was better last season.

I still immensely enjoyed this episode since I'm mainly here for Nagatoro and Paisen's interactions.

I did feel it looked a bit different, but I felt it was the background art that seemed different. It was like they looked fuzzier and less sharp compared to the first season (maybe my connection was having a bad day with streaming?) The characters all looked to be pretty much on-spec to me and they even kept that little quirk where they remove part of the arms of Senpai's glasses so you can see his eye from the side.

Looks a bit better than Season 1. The backgrounds are much better drawn and colored. Season 1 had for the most part a pretty clunky animation and clearly slow budget. This time it has an actual real opening, the first one were scenes from the episodes with some tweaks.

I see no difference and that's honestly something I wish wouldn't be the case since we have OLM this time but quite frankly it's alright

Season 1's art style is definitely better than this one though.

I couldn't tell a difference. I started the show a couple days ago and was able to go straight into the second season as well, so there wasn't any time gap between the two.
