yeah, Naruto has some of the best hand to hand combat scenes in animation, maybe actually the best, but I wasn't comparing the sakuga-filled end of season episodes, I was comparing the average, random episode. chances are, if you take a random episode of Naruto, it's very likely to be as limited animation as TBATE, if not more. Naruto is notorious for getting 45 seconds out of 6 panned images and "talk no jutsu". I agree, sakuga-filled episodes are a great way to generate hype, but limited motion episodes are enjoyable too. some anime you watch for the plot, some anime you watch for the art (animation, music, sound design, art style), and some anime you watch for both. I love TBATE for the story, and the anime is solid. adaptation is faithful, pacing is good, animation is consistent, voice acting good, sound design good, OST reminds me of Linkin Park, so good, that's how I see it anyway.

for me, the biggest turn down in animation is poor CGI, but TBATE is fine. I take limited motion over poor CGI any day.

by the way, I started watching the back-catalogue of a-cat, and from what I've seen, they don't do high budget, sakuga-filled episodes, so probably TBATE won't get that either. it's not that they're saving budget for more important scenes, it's just that this is the budget they work with. and it's not just the budget, it feels like a very traditional studio, their techniques are reminiscent of the 70s and 80s anime, though for TBATE they employed some modern lights design with particles. it's an interesting mix, quite unique in my opinion. and their titles didn't "flop" because of bad animation, in fact, until TBATE, almost no one complained about the animation quality from a-cat, it's just that the stories they adapted aren't the best. if you look at the score of TBATE, if you take the 10s from fans of the original source like me, and the small marks from all the haters, TBATE is somewhere around a 7.5, and it's just the beginning of the story, which we know is kinda' generic.

there's just one more thing. we know that the adaptation isn't as good as it could be, it could have been a sakuga-filled experience, like Solo Leveling and it is not. but think about it. would anyone ever even think about remaking Solo Leveling? probably not, it's perfect as it is. but One Piece does get a remake, because early on it was mostly limited motion. so, I'm young, I hope to live another 50-60-70 years, I'm down for a remake 20 years from now, so getting a "poorer" adaptation now might just be a blessing in disguise. TBATE has the fanbase for a remake, and with how good the story gets from volume 6 onwards, I'm positive it will get a remake eventually. thing is, the fanbase is young now, and one of us will probably be a film director one day, and TBATE's story leaves a long lasting impression.

YES SIR

Happy Birthday!

And I made a blunder right at the start this season. I should not have put Mairimashita-kun on my active team in first week. I had meant to recheck my team a few hours before FAL started, but I was so busy with other stuff that I completely forgot to. This led me to use a valuable swap unnecessarily just to replace Mairimashita-kun. Don't think I would win FAL either way (you have to do like a lot of planning and calculations beforehand), tho that swap is going to be costly for sure

I didn't need to tell you all this, but felt like doing it haha

*at the beginning only. It's not that hard honestly. You just pick the potentially top shows of that season and keep a few things in mind (like air date, studio, reception, etc.) The harder thing is to maintain that position for the entirety of the season.

yea
