It is not a manga, but is not an anime too, come on.

To call this an anime... even Beserk 2006 did a better job with manga tracing + actual animation.



On other hand, i tried to read the manga after watching the 1st episode (nothing was cutted at all) and... i had to admit that watch it in place of reading was fine to me.

Aside i (successfully and thankfully) failing to be a proud weeb doing it, i can't say this anime is horrible because it is just a nice way to read the manga.

The question is even Ex-Arm was an animation.

This is not, clearly not.

So what is it?

To me it had the same level of animation as Yami Shibai if not more.

Even if its not an anime i do still enjoy it more then i did the manga ... Now don't be a wack just because a anime isn't anime dosen't mean it deserve hate..
Animation is made for entertainment stop acting like a critique
And it is considered animation now if you can excuse me cause I don't even bother at commenting on things like this but i want to clear it that we all are here to enjoy ..let critique do there job

What’s everyone’s deal? It’s an anime but just done in a different style, don’t treat this like it’s crap or anything to look down on

It was okay. I was really hoping for another anime like GTO, because that anime hasn’t aged super well tbh. It’s great don’t get me wrong, but it gets slow in the second half of the series. The way of the househusband on the other hand, had a really cool, and interesting main character with extremely fast story telling. If they didn’t make this 5 episodes long, and if it was actually animated, it would’ve been much better. However, I still think it was FINE to watch, and it wasn’t a bad show in my opinion.

First of all, ONA = Original Net Animation, as in it never was broadcasted to television and released directly to Netflix etc., it has nothing to do with the style.
Second of all, "Can't y'all understand [...] it's not even bad" and "it will be way better if it was normally animated" contradict.

Well yea it looks better like this because if its normal animation it won’t have the same funny feeling for example gintama in the comedian moments the art (not animation) is actually different from the normal moments. Comedy animes always have a unique style of animation or art.

It is funny because people are just too worried about graphics, animation, style and design instead of actually thinking what matters which is 'did it manage to entertain me? Did I have a good time? Did I take something from it?'.
People always complain they are bored and want something new and when something comes up that does not stick to whatever standards people already have in mind, again they complain. Seriously, never satisfied, smh.
And I wonder if this became a huge lame joke and people got nothing else to do other than complain about other people's works.

Back in the 1980s there were literal OVAs that were just the manga stills coloured and dubbed.

People clearly haven't watched a lot of ONAs to realise how common this type of animation actually is.
There's still a lot of movement and the mouths moving makes up for the lack of body movement. Plus, what do you want? Them to waste their money by animating some flailing arms for no reason? All of what they already have tells the story well.
Why are people trying to pretend that all anime needs to be blockbuster quality to be good?

They took the Queen bee route.
Stills with minimal animation basically the manga in color with audio..............
Its not a bad thing it can test the market.
But for us who expected to see it animated with movement this is disappointing.
The manga comes through since its basically manga on screen. So the jokes and everything are great. Just animation wise nothing to celebrate about.

Same dude.I find the comedy pretty enjoyable.JC staff have already made a motion manga in the past and nobody seem to hate it.This is all nothing but a hate trend.

I agree with that the style goes well with the comedy, but I can't help but find it a bit disappointing, considering that the manga had great art.

Y'all just can't understand the Director Aesthetic Artstyle.
It's different, you may not like it.
But doesn't mean it's bad.
