 Yeah that looks terrible, they're gonna have to completely redo it if they actually want anyone to buy the BDs. Then again I get the impression not many people care that much for this series anyway.

Yeah, it's why I dropped it at episode 1. Just not worth sitting through Oreimo/Eromanga-sensei but without the humor or animation quality.

At this point they should just cancel the rest of the series seeing how it's only going to get worse.

I'm usually pretty lenient with mistakes and poor animation but even I am having problems with this. It isn't taking me out of it so much but damn is it trying its hardest to!
It's a shame as I've enjoyed the first 2 episodes actual content, it's a really fun show so far which I think will only get better (well, not the animation). I suppose it's a compliment that the quality shines through the rough exterior. |

I agree if the 3rd episode gonna look the same bad as the 2nd or even worse they should just pull the plug and restart the show later at winter or spring. because such quality of animation is simply doing damage to sells of any kind of merchandise and it certainly wont attract new people to read the source LN.... |

I'm having war flashbacks to DRAMAtical Murder (also from NAZ), but even as a co-production between two companies, this is horrible. Not to mention this is coming off of the at-least-decent-looking My Girlfriend is a Gal.

This is what happens when you outsource most of your animation.

You know it’s bad when the only good animated part was a close-up of Suzuka’s feet. Guess we know what the director likes to focus on most

I noticed quite a change ion animation style and quality plus quite a few off-model shots, but really hadn't given any further thought to the matter.
In my near fifty year journalism career there was a period back in the 80's when I got stuck doing food critic reviews for Asari Shimbun. Everything was critiqued and documented. One night my wife and I were at the dinner table, I was making note of absolutely everything and jotting it down. Finally my wife looked at me, slapped the notepad out of my hand and told me outright, to just shut up and enjoy the damn meal for a change. Thirty years later, I sometimes feel the same way about how much of media consumption toady is, especially with anime. We as fans have become so much more critical in the past decade of every last little detail, that we often forget to sit back and enjoy the story. It use to be only the most die hard crazed otaku on the chans would go on these rants about a frame being off or the coloring, but now it feels like the entire community global as a whole nit-picks every minute detail. Granted this is a pretty glaring case of crap-quality control. On one hand, this is being produced by NAZ which isn't exactly KyoAni, but on the other hand get the hell off my lawn

It's guaranteed it'll get fixed for bluray. Everything does Example: Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu / Gonna Be the Twin Tail!! https://twitter.com/twintail22222/status/592707336294260737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw http://2.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/13/33/312e25644aa7c378a5c4e0b68acdff12_13.mp4
I know this is standard practice for expediency sake due to production schedules, and involves many more studios, but I just have to wonder if mistakes like this from the outsourcing ends up costing them more money than what they budget for when they have to fix them later for bluray |

In other news water is wet. But seriously who cares, the world's going to keep turning and people will find something else to point out and be upset about. I swear people have nothing better to do but point out flaws when they should be living their life and simply enjoying what they watch. The world really is a sad place these days.

We all know that casual fans don't care much about animation being off-model as they watch once and forget as there are tons of new shows vying for fans' attention. I do believe that hardcore fans' reaction do affect the perception of show and ultimately leads to sales of merchandise. Fans are pretty much forgiving, but first impression is still important. Off-model animation happened to other anime, but "My Sister, My Writer"'s off-model animation happened in early stage of the show which garnered unusual degree of attention in anime social media. As you said, off-model animation comments were limited to realm of hardcore fans, however social media exacerbate that fringe fan view to the point where even non-hardcore & non-Japanese fans are taking notice. Animation is visual storytelling foremost. It has "magic" that makes given story more enjoyable than what it is. Off-model animation disrupts the viewers who are enjoying the detailed aspect of story through immersing themselves to the visuals (and sound). Hardcore fans are more sensitive to that disruption than casual fans and they do have valid point. Other than story, anime established its visual to be detailed as humanly possible and that got lot of love from geeks who digs graphic details. Best way to compare off-model animation is like having a stunt-double delivering important lines in live action. That stunt-double looks fine doing stunts where camera is not focused his/her face, but we all know that he/she is not a starring actor who says the line from screenplay. I do think that hardcore otaku comments initiated by Japanese fans on off-model animation has serious weight because they spends more money than anyone else on particular anime franchise. If animation quality is bad from the start, they wouldn't spend their money on something that they're disappointed with. They're the ones who spend hundreds of dollars on their physical discs to toys to trinkets of the show. Plus their comment keeps animation staff from being too complacent. |
