Drastic fall of demon slayer popularity

Drippysid said:
I have been watching this season weekly. This season has been pretty underwhelming in terms of animation. The CGI monsters look horrendous and it was obvious from the first episode itself that the direction is bad. They used those annoying rotations and character zoom-ins which reminded me of "Indian serials".
The selling point of demon slayer wasn't its comedy, characters, or plot. It was the animation, music, and sound design
Think about it, comedy was annoying and probably the least interesting aspect of ds. Characters have good designs, they are fleshed out, and have interesting, well mostly sad flashbacks. The plot is very generic.
Ufotable clearly doesn't care about demon slayer anymore just like bones did not care about mha.
The finale which aired yesterday barely made any noise unlike the last season maybe people are oversaturated with demon slayer content.

Where are these "bad" CGI moments or bad directing? I watched it weekly and have never seen any of that.

it was horrible CGI in the dragons
DS was already cringe and mid but this season is straight up ass

ktg said:

So you are criticizing the currently best animation in anime. Pretty stupid take, but ok.

What ? demon slayer has good animation but it's not the best animation in anime, the Fate series have better animations, ditto for mobs pshyco 100, not to mention Violet Evergarden, and so many other shows

ktg said:

Even ufotable said that their best work animation-wise is KnY Katanakaji no Sato-hen. So I'm not interested in people who can't even recognize this, because they have zero knowledge.

And when would they ever say that 😂 ?

DeFa- said:

best animation? 💀💀 few good action cuts per season and that's about it

ktg said:

Before the release they mentioned that this will be a new level of animation.

ktg said:

I wasn't talking about action cuts, because that's also directing, while technically an anime can have the best animation with the worst director.
KnY is the only anime that has movie level animation even in a seasonal show. Like even the worst shots are on par with other shows' best shots.

Vergz said:

Clearly...with how legal and illegal websites crashed for like an hour and the show was trending everywhere yesterday....

DeFa- said:

It's not even close to being the best even in that regard let alone the only. My point was that demon slayer only has a few good action cuts per season and that is it, there is nothing crazy good for the rest of the time, its constant stills, yes they are highly detailed and great compositing but that is not animation.

currently airing tengoku is miles better.

csm, mob, violet evergarden are all better too.

Leon888 said:
And so ? I don't think they said that Demon slayer is their best work, lol, then it's nice to see how they said this thing, but nothing new level was seen, the battle between tengen vs gyutaro still remains superior, good that you take statements that they deny themselves

ktg said:
LOL, CSM wasn't even in the top 3 in its own season XDDDDDD
And you think it's better. :DDDDDD

So, no, again. KnY is the ONLY show where the animation quality is on movie level. That's a fact.
CSM is significantly worse with all its mistakes. Mob Psycho and Tengoku Daimakyou has lower number of frames. Violet Evergardon MOVIE could be comparable to earlier seasons, but not to Katanakaji no Sato-hen.
If you would actually have any knowledge on this topic, you would have said for example Trigun Stampede. Even Bleach was better than CSM, was worse than Mob Psycho, but still.

Lmao yeah. It's amazing how the OP and people who frequent anime forums in general can be so delusional and want to just shit on anything popular lol. Kids trying to grow a personality by being indifferent.

Charisma88 said:
CGI was ass
But 2d was good
But this season used too much Bad CGI

DeFa- said:

you are either a shit poster or genuinely delusional and have 0 idea what animation is lmao. Bleach is the exact same as demon slayer full of stills with 0 character animation or anything dynamic and the only movement being in action. also seems you just hate CSM so no point wasting time replying anymore with someone whose opinion is already formed based on hatred. Trigun is amazing and so is every project from studio orange.

also source on the frame statement ? or just some made up thing lmao.

ktg said:

Or someone who has knowledge on animation.
Rewatch the shows and start counting the still frames, you won't find much.
And stating the facts is not hatred or maybe it is in kids' brains like yours, but normally it isn't. I know that it is full of mistakes, because I found many of them in CSM. Remember how badly people criticized COTE S2 animation? It has the same mistakes.
As for the frame per sec, I counted it. When a show comes out, I analyze it myself in case I learn something new about animation that I can use later on. Because of the heavy use of CGI CSM was able to operate with a higher number of frames like KnY. While this isn't true for Tengoku Daimakyou or MP100. So technically out of that three CSM had the best shot against KnY, but it was full of mistakes while KnY wasn't.
Plus, in the latest season it did elevate its animation to a new level.

Next level animation, where?
And no matter how much you try to convince yourself but DS doesn't have a best animation, it's chainsaw man.
if you truly know about animation then you should know than CSM ep 6 had more frames than then whole ds mugen train movie.
if you didn't know this then please stop your dikriding,this season was a lackluster and step down in terms of animation.

And yes DS has weak direction (note , I'm not saying weak production but weak direction) bad storyboarding & because of even tengen vs gyutaro was childish.

Man , you really have less than 1% knowledge about animation and CGI ,i don't know why you're spouting nonsense,stop it man it just makes you look very stupid.

CSM ep1 had so much character movement in ep 1 that I can't compare that to any show and it was better than almost every episode of DS.

And if people think CSM CGI is not good than they must be blind or hater who only has problem with Mappa CGI but Mappa foreground CGI is better than any other studio.

ufotable has very good background CGI but their foreground CGI is just good enough.

Let's leave CSM aside and look at this season, heavenly delusions 1st ep was better than first 10 episodes of DS and half of the episode 11.

Once again this season was a very lackluster and it's clear you don't wanna agree to that because you're not even realizing that ds doesn't have a best animation.

i know , i hurt many people's delusions but still ds fans are coming to protect the filler season of the show.

Well, there may have been a fall in storytelling of the story and pacing but popularity is in no way decreasing.

ktg said:

Ok, your stupidity is too much. You said CSM ep6 has more frames than Mugen Train. CSM EPs are 24 mins long while Mugen Train was 117 mins long.
Even if Mugen Train was animated on 3s and CSM was animated on 1s. This is the worst case scenario, it would still mean that Mugen Train has 56160 frames while CSM ep6 has only 34560.

So you have clearly no idea what you are talking about, kiddo. When you have a brain, come back and I can teach you about animation.

Btw, MP100, Bleach and even Bocchi the Rock has better animation all in all than CSM. And I only mentioned shows from the same season. CSM is an 8, we are talking about 9+ shows here.

Nizamjarjin said:

Why are putting bleach with mob, man this kid doesn't even know how to compare.
I know bochchi and mob has one of the best animation but they are not on level of CSM.
i don't really like to use this hater word but You're really a hater if you can't see the obvious thing.
I know you're trying very hard to protect your show ,somehow, but i pity you kid

ktg said:

Yes, I'm a hater when you say things that are obviously not true, like about the frames.
And yes, Bleach animation was better, while yes, it reused scenes which is a cheap solution, but when you reuse high quality scenes it's still high quality. It lowers other aspects of the production.
And no, CSM wasn't even close to MP100 and BtR, because of the mistakes in the anime. There are many problematic in-between frames. Normally a high quality show doesn't have this problem.
We are talking about mistakes that you could see in, for example, CotE S2. You know the season with pretty weak animation.

Nizamjarjin said:

Okay kid , slideshows are better than animation.
Good for you.
