Just because they are not breakdancing around doesn't mean is static nor wooden.
Mappa really spoiled the eyes of a whole generation.

Yup. They did spoil a lot of people.

Where did you possibly get that from? TMS isn't some random, new studio, they are one of the oldest in the industry and have plenty of big IPs.

Oops I mixed up my words. I was replying to an another post and mixed up my thoughts.

@Armaniooo good animation? But if it's the most static and wooden animation I've seen since one punch man S2, there are worse, but it's not good animation at all, you should watch more well animated shows to understand things good animation

It's OK alright. I don't notice it. It's not that big of a deal, and they weren't even fighting in the last episode. The fight against the lab had good animation. The studio has done a great job so far. You're being too harsh. Mappa spoiled you.

@Armaniooo What? Mappa ruined Aot and Hell's paradise for me I agree, Also if you judge this anime as a good animation then anything for you will be a good animation 🫠

@FreedomKME Here I feel like swearing, Mappa is one of the most overrated studios in the industry, the mere fact that you list it regardless as a top studio really means that you have never seen anime with good animation in your life

@Armaniooo Have you discovered hot water? Anime is meant to spoil people, why should we settle for a banal product? We don't watch anime to do a favor to those who work there

Jesus Christ the anime is not bad. For the casual it's pretty good. Yes they could have done better but I'm happy.

@ejleon If this show is good, then any show is good... and it's incredible how people don't have a critical spirit, a minimum of intelligence to understand that this show is half, and the animation is pretty crappy.

After 7 “Good” on the scale, is 6 “Fine” & 5 “Average”.

So it is basically the lowest rating before it is getting into the bad ratings.

Which means that it is your perspective that is off, not my rating.

And your perspective on “animation” is also way off.

I’d even call you spoiled.

There are far worse anime and animation than this.

1. Name an anime with a story that you love

2. Name an anime with animation that you love

I’ll watch them both.

@ejleon Have you discovered hot water? Anime is meant to spoil people, why should we settle for a banal product? We don't watch anime to do a favor to those who work on it... Also, just a product that receives a rating of 6 or 5 means that it is halfway, why can't it be 8 or 9? Mystery.

Yes they did and are a bit overhyped but they have had good animation. Zenshus pretty good and so was chainsaw man. The 3D was not as glaring and annoying. They did rush with Hells paradise. But it's still better than 90 % of other studios. You do know how the animation industry is in japan. Overworked, underpaid employees. The blue ray release of attack on titan was better than the TV version but they should have gotten right the first place.

Thank you for your suggestions, honestly I will watch them both.

But you have it completely backwards.

We are only able to watch anime, because these people spend their time on making anime out of the written material.

We wouldn’t have anime unless they worked hard to bring it to us.

So we should be humbly thankful for their hard work.

Does that mean we should accept trash projects, absolutely not, but I think you are being too hard on them.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

I didn't say they are good. I said they scammed a lot of people with their nonsensical flipping around action into thinking THAT is "good animation".

I'm putting off on reading the manga for now because I know it's amazing but the anime is okayish. If I read the manga then the anime doesn't stand a chance but as a standalone anime watcher, I'm enjoying it so far.

@Biisoo anime should be standing a chance when you read it

You kids really need to learn the difference between animation and artstyle.

The animation in this show is GOOD, above average.
The artstyle is ugly, character designs is straight up BAD.

Now, here is a problem with the show no one really mentions: so far, it should be called Shin Days. For that little fact you watch the show feeling scammed without noticing it.

@FreedomKME have the reverse criticisms for Animation and Art

The anime is a great adaptation. The pacing is fine, don't mind it. New "Anime" fans need to chill out. Not every anime will have Demon slayer style or JJK animation. They need to be thankful. At least you aren't getting blue lock season 2 or The Beginning After The End power point style animation. TBATE is doomed before it even airs. 😭😭

@Armaniooo underwhelming Adaptation
Will never be thankful for a 6/10 just because other ips have bad Adaptations doesn't make sakadays good by comparison
This should've had Solo Leveling type of Animation

Poor animation and poor comedic direction would be my takes.

If the fights were flashier and better animated it would be easier for people to get hype about them and thereby, incentivize them to get more engrossed in the lore.

The comedic direction doesn't get talked about nearly as much as the animation, but I think it is equally at fault. The show has a lot of great gags, but many of them go unnoticed because the direction is so flat that people instinctively start to tune it out.

Compare it to another hitman action comedy in The Fable. The animation in The Fable is pretty stinky too, but the comedy shines so much more because the camerawork is more dynamic, character animation is more lively, and it finds a good pace to set up jokes and let them breathe.

The Fable is a show that I think validates its adaptation, whereas when I was watching Sakamoto Days I just felt like I'd probably enjoy reading the manga more.

Anime taste is subjective, bro. If you don't likebsakamato days, that's fine. It's not your type, and that's ok, but you shouldn't be using derogatory remarks on somebody's taste. We love sakamato days for what it offers, and although you don't have to agree with us, at least respect our tastes

if I had to compare this to the manga, the kanga is way better. the anime just seems to lack something. it's not the quality, but there's something. I watched till episode 8 and the progression is good but again, there's just something that doesn't make me feel hyped to watch the episodes.

What it is lacking is a good director. The current director seems like this is his first manga adaptation work. Way too straightforward and watered down execution of impactful scenes and fight choreography. The camera angles, character movements and storyboard are all really weak. This director will unfortunately also be working on Part 2. I hope they change the director in Season 2 or he improves

@otakupro68 No offense but do these tastes also lead people to say bullshit? No because at this point they seem more like a prank to avoid admitting to following something that sucks rather than being honest and saying I like it even though it sucks...

Well in the business of anime, the better the animation the more time and money it costs, this is true for both 2D & 3D projects, so it gets far too slow and expensive to keep producing the best.

It is not that we “settle” it is that the business doesn’t want to spend the time and money on every project having the ultimate best quality for every project.

Above average does not mean it's great animation. If you've seen enough anime you would know that "average" is basically around the level of most Studio Deen shows.
