[English Translation] Animator spoke About S2 bad animation.

This explains why there are no animation in the episodes. The director should have just let the episodes be 30 minutes long at this point and not cut anything. Like either the studio delays the product or release the episode not directed lol.

Thankfully there are animation studios that don’t fall into this category like Cloverworks recently, Ufoatable, Madhouse and ofcourse kyoto. Seems whitefox is fixing its way also. MAPPA and rest can go and lose the big animators because wow their work environment just sucks. Why would you ruin one of the best arcs in sports manga? The sales of manga were so great and reception of season 1 was overall good. Yet this is the end result. All I can express is how mad and disappointed I am. Well hope another studio can take whatever remains and adapt it because 8bits doesn’t deserve this anime.

So I have a question. They said they started on it a few months ago. Wasn’t season 2 confirmed like a week after season one ended? Why didn’t they start soon after that. I mean I don’t know much about making a anime but I would assume more time you’re given the better the product. I know the Nagi episode (which was basically a movie) came out in like June of this year. So at the bare minimum the animators only had from May to work on it, but I would assume they got done with that at least few months in advance maybe in march so the advertising team can advertise the movie. And that “episode” is basically nothing more than advertising for season two of the anime. My question is why would they make nagi a full hour and a half long when they haven’t even worked on the show yet? Couldn’t they just make it like a full 30 minute episode. It all really just feels like bad planning that lead to the situation in the first place.

its either that, or do what MAPPA did with the animators on JJK 2. Make them sign an NDA and have them work their asses off like robots.
Wonder how many hours a week did the animators have off time to relax.

yeah the weird thing to me, unlike western shows, is I understand they animate week-to-week which sounds AWFUL

like as if you wouldn’t have a product finished at top quality then release it??? imagine trying to do the whole CGI for a marvel movie within a few weeks haha. there’s a reason those kind of movies (and series like stranger things) take time

if every ep of blue lock had animation like S1 E1 it’d be ridiculous

with that all being said i’m still loving this season XD might switch to the manga tho after TBC

Just like with uzumaki, they should have just delayed it until they become satisfied by their product.

Anime production needs a complete overhaul because there's no acceptable reason for this kind of shit to ever happen, to any show. It's a shame that we as the consumer get slop thrown at us because the suits that don't do any of the actual work are only thinking about their bank accounts.

I've tried Shiraboko but the first episode felt overwhelming with all the characters and stuff going on

What I don’t understand is how j.c staff is making 8 anime while 8-bit is only making 1 anime this season. Rn Jc staff anime airing this season look ten times better than this. I get JC staff has like 198 people compare 8 bit 68 employees. Jc staff is split 198/8=24(estimate) for regular jc staff employee (this not including outsource it to freelance animators) working on each anime, somehow each one of them look better than blue lock season 2, with its still key art shots that look like taking page form the manga and coloring it and then putting into after affects. 8-bit currently 68 employees that more than enough people for 1 anime. What I think is that 8-bit has bad planning, they should’ve release blue u-20 in January bc they just did slime season 4 and should give the animator a-least 3 months of preproduction before actually airing it on television. Or delaying the release until November, it give animator time work ep1-3. Keeping a 2 ep lead on actual tv release, can fix this rushing and bad animation.
