compositing looks good no more glossy colors but flat color effects this time so much easy to do i think

compositing of season 1 has always been the problem of the sakuga community and even some of the animators working on it so glad that is solve now

also 3DCG director? means there will be more 3DCG this time?

Yeah likely for the moving backgrounds. This is Gosso we're talking about though, he pulls of batshit insane animation stunts and he isn't afraid to experiment, so it could be used in who-knows-how-many ways.

ok i just remember Goso sharing on his twitter some Blender 3DCG sakuga mix and blended well with 2D sakuga he did for Osama Ranking one time so ye he might do that more

PV looks good, I'm glad Sakurai is still voicing Geto, wouldn't be the same without him voicing the character.

Yes, I think so too. Good that they haven't replaced him. I hope that all this will be forgotten soon.

My GOAT Toji voiced by one of the voice acting GOATS, perfect.

Good trailer! Also it is great that Sakurai is here as Geto, I thought that they replace him due to the scandal. Thank God that they haven't done it.

The Toji sequence from his battle against Gojo bears a striking resemblance to the Eris sequence from the Mushoku Tensei Bonus Episode lol. The trailer is much more impressive due to the dynamic camera work, making it more engaging to watch.

Both were likely animated by Qkawa who was crucial for AoT the final season (Animated Hange vs Colossal Titans), or just similar animation styles, but I'm pretty sure it's Qkawa
