| I don´t know man, I dont feel like the anime industry is prepared to enter the full CGI era yet. The premise looks entertaining until you look at the Pv. |
| guys, just read the manga. it´s worth it. |
| :v |
| The CGI doesn’t look that bad if only Kumoko looked like this but there’s something weird about the faces that puts me off. Idk, I might give it a try |
| When will they learn that a lower frame-rate doesn't make it look ''more anime''. Tho I guess they finally get the facial-expressions right. |
  |
| Honestly, this just makes me want to rewatch Spartacus instead.. |
| Another full CGI eh, proly not gonna bother watching. |
 |
| Hm, I'm not sure why they thought this was a good idea. They were probably better off making a movie with not shit CG animation, instead of this trash. |
| :3 |
| Yeah I'm not happy with the CGI either, but this still seems different in a positive way and something I see myself enjoying. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Awful cgi Why its not in 2d animation? is this the future of anime? |
