I've seen a lot of people complain that the animation quality of this season is bad and didn't live up to their expectations though I disagree with those thoughts I would like to know what you think about the animation quality of this season

Did it live up to your expectations as an adaptation or did you expect something even more?

I love seeing other people complain about animation as if they’ve taken classes about it and are experts.

Anyway I thought it was good on the production/animation side of things albeit not surprising considering A-1’s history with action anime.

Consistently above average, which is something you can't necessarily say about a lot of action-centric series. Major props to Takafumi Torii, Yoshihiro Kanno, and many others for bringing so many good sequences. And of course, a special shout out to Takayuki Kikuchi and Hirokatsu Maruyama for episode 11. Fantastic stuff.

Some episodes were obviously heavily prioritized over others but those episodes had really really good animation

It was more than sufficient to the task, but not top tier UfoTable/KyoAni/Madhouse sakuga. A1 did not actively detract from the source material with their animation quality at all.

The entire animation budget seemed to be saved for the last two episodes, and they got some interns to handle the first ten.

I personally thought the animation was pretty good, and I don't usually pay much attention to how good or bad animation is unless it's really good or really bad, since I am more of a story kind of guy, but this isn't really the best story so the animation is the thing to notice and it was really hecking good, kinda reminded me of dnamchi season 3 and 4

id say very solid, the action and fights were what made this fun for me wasnt really feeling the characters or the story but the animation, ost and fight choreography kept me around, hoping to be able to get more into the story in season 2 sometimes can be difficult with action heavy series that only get 12-13 episodes which is why I wish more shows would do 2 cours back to back instead of split

Average at best.

Pretty low quality overall, beside 3 good sakuga sequences, which is a too light amount of good for a whole season.
Some "casual' scenes were embarrassingly mediocre, like the jogging scene with protagonist's sister,
sorry but that's some saturday morning western cartoon type of animation.

It might sound insingnificant, but that's actually where you see the lack of attention to details,
and the lack of passion from the studio for this project.
Which is somewhat understandable given the uninspired writing of those scenes.

Anyways, outside of the 3 sequences mentioned previously (not even entire scenes, just sequences),
most character animations looked unnatural, stiff, uninteresting...
Not helped by poor directing either. Botched work. Just saying...

as i have read the manhwa, i would say the animation was impressive, the character design of sung jinwoo was a bit different in the anime i.e. the jawline but apart from that animation was above average for the series and top notch in some moments. No complaints in animation.

@BitChilly On the other hand, I like reading the comments of those who say that it has good animation as if they understood something... (there are also those who compare this show to Violet Evergaden, lol), I wonder what lessons these people have followed for being so expert to say that it was a beautiful animation, you know ๐Ÿคฃ?

Funny the comments praising the animation when it was simply average... only the last 2 episodes had real Sakuga peaks, but overall it was very disappointing

Really good and surprisingly stayed consistent in its quality, unlike some other anime from these past few seasons (like Shangri-La Frontier). I don’t see how the animation could have honestly been much better, besides removing some CGI (which looks good anyways) and making the characters look more like they did in the Manhwa (which seems to be fixed in the S2 teaser).
Gachiakuta is the greatest manga of all time

They fucking cooked. Wasn't expecting this level of animation from A-1 pictures considering their rather questionable and poor use of CGI in 86 and Nier. It was smooth and consistent throughout the action scenes and deserves no less than a 8.5/10 in my book. Even the CGI blending was very good.

The animation in this anime is pretty damn good, it's not at the level of One Punch Man S1 or Demon Slayer because the animation in those other animes is an 11/10 so they are in a league on their own, but the animation in Solo Leveling is pretty damn good so I have no complaints, the animation gets a 9/10 from me.

Are people seriously complaining about the animation in this anime? if you are then no offense but you are fucking crazy.
