| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm sure I'm missing plot points, but I find my mind wandering because the show is boring me so much. I feel like I'm invested so I should finish the thing, but man I can't wait for it to be over. |

Double26 said: Agreed. There was a very noticeable, jarring shift in character design in this episode, from the more stylised faces of the previous episodes to a sort of semi-realistic and oddly dopey looking approach that was taken for this episode.Just came by to ask about the art change. Anyone else notice or was it just me? And it only changes for one episode, episode 28 and on are back to the original art form. I have a sneaky suspicion the studio used this anime as an expiremental excuse. There’s also nobody talking about it I mean, it’s not just a simple art style change you could miss; they completely changed the character’s designs like WTF? Why don’t we talk about the elephant in the room please?  The eyes are much smaller, the girls no longer have distinctive eye shadow and eyelashes, pronounced lips give them a type of "double mouth", two nostrils instead of a nose represented by a short line, etc. Compare this image to Sheila's (or the other girls) design in most of the other episodes, and it'll be more apparent. This series has the same animation director (Shougo Furuya) for episodes 21, 27 and 33. There are multiple animation directors that are essentially on rotation here, but his take on it is certainly the most experimental in diverging from the established character designs — though not quite to its betterment, in my opinion. |
