Even the opening song has MID animation hahahhahahha

@LIVI___ Popularity doesn't equal quality. Is it every producer's dream? Idk. I'm a member of the audience. I consume what they produce. Popularity doesn't mean anything to me, at least in a meaningful way. Yes, something like Demon Slayer became extremely popular mainly due to its visuals, but the thing that really 'elevated' it was direction. The way they portrayed and directed it elevated the source material in a way that it made the story seem more interesting as well.

Yet, you're missing the point. You say story doesn't mean shit if the production is bad: you're almost right, were it not for the fact that the story remains what it is no matter how you portray it. That's integral to any piece of visual entertainment that contains any semblance of narrative. A story doesn't have to be that interesting on paper in order to still be enjoyable, but the story is still central to what makes it good or bad anyway. I.E. Revenant (starring Leonardo DiCaprio) isn't complex. It's kind of bland on paper, actually; but the way it's directed and played by the actors makes it visceral and compelling. Still, the driving force of the film is contained in the plot. Not the filmmaking. A film is telling and showing you the story. It still has to be written in a way that it also works the way its portrayed in an adaptation, and vice versa.

Point is, production doesn't matter more than story, because its purpose is to envisage it. Not supercede it. It doesn't need to be Demon Slayer in order to do that and be interesting, no matter how hard you try to suggest otherwise. It's only my opinion ofc, but no, I don't think pretty visuals and esoteric designs saved Darling in the Franxx from being a wad of horseshit, or Demon Slayer's flashy episodes from being mid. As controversial as Record of Ragnarok's anime is, I liked it a lot more than something like God of Highschool.

Don't get me wrong, I don't fully agree with SCYTHER07, but at least their viewpoint is fair. If the story is good, that's all that matters in their eyes. On the other hand, since you're arguing for what's been presented (the opening), I find it weird that you think it's fair to criticize it the way you're implying. We haven't even seen the first episode yet.

Well bruh, first of all the opening has quite decent animation it wasn't mid or something like bad ofc (the word mid is so overused I can't fathom but laugh at it all the time), but I do agree that some part of the animation wasn't consistently good rather just pretty boring and uncreative or dull. It feels unpolished like seeing the crows or whatever kind of black birds they are flying in the SD opening part.

As like I said before I rlly do hope the animation at least will look decent (but seeing the director resume and the studio, they ate a lot of my hopes for this anime because I don't think TMS is fit for an action centered anime even though I haven't seen any TMS animes whether they're action or not). It doesn't need to be something like JJK level of animation.

Cry more.If the story is good that's all that matters

imagine trashing an anime that's not even out yet, and fr, can you just enjoy something for once instead of telling it's trash for no reason ?

@Confused_100 I'm so tired of this shit. This is nothing new and certainly isn't just a 'Blue Lock' moment. This type of shots has ALWAYS existed. You guys have this debilitating fear of still frames, which is ridiculous. Still frames have always existed, they will continue to exist and SHOULD exist. This OBSESSION with animation has been increasing since Demon Slayer and it's unbearable.

Well its not that much about which studio animate it, cause TMS is actually big studio and they have talented animators. The problem is in the production probably, if its rushed or they set other animes like the Connan movie or Dr. Stone(which is ending, ofc they woulld play safe with well establieshed franchises even though i wish that they would risk it with SD) the animators cant make miracles in short span of time.

And one thing i want to mention is that SD is shonen but mostly adult cast manga and while that its nothing wrong with that(Gintama can be great example), I think that the shonen with young mc gloomy badass teenagers( cough Kagurabachi rising) or righteous ones etc. get most of the attention.

I’m gonna wait for the anime to come out, but my hopes have been abolished, I’m sure the show will be fun, but it’s gonna be rly disappointing for the ppl who wanted an adaptation like that of DanDaDan, Kaiju No 8 (god I hate that anime), Frieren. SakaDays deserves wayy better than TMS. TMS doesn’t even have anything impressive in their works, THEY LITERALLY ANIMATED BAKI AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT.

Dr stone doesn’t look good in terms of animation, blue box was animated by unlimited produce, a company under TMS, not TMS themselves.
