I’m honestly exited for this show, as a huge Pacific Rim enjoyer

I legit thought this got axed, partly due to the second movie’s failure. I’m gonna have to check it out sometime.

Apparently not.

I started watching it and so far it’s pretty decent, but I really hate this trend of making CG animation with low frame-rate to imitate 2D animation. It just doesn’t work and never looks good.

I do have to agree, The jitteriness never ends up looking good.
Hopefully we’ll have a dragon prince situation for season two

I’ve only seen part of season 1 and hated the animation, what changed in season 2?

Yeah, they never get it right. There is this videogame studio that managed it called arc system works. Just look at their latest guilty gear game. It totally looks like actual anime while still being 3d. People should learn from them when they make 3d anime. (I know it’s a videogame but some principles used might still be useful)

It got a heck of a lot smoother.

Somehow this is why I avoid anime. They never seem to have smooth animation, except in the big budget shows.

What do you even mean

The discussion was about the use of pieces of 3D animation in a 2D show and how jarring it looks because of their frame rates not lining up properly, which is a problem that exists in a lot of animation outside of anime as well

And staying on topic of this show, could it even be considered an anime in the first place? It was made by an American studio, the majority of staff working on it were from there as well and the main language it was released in was English…

All the anime shows I’ve seen ads for look like a Disney animated film, but slowed down just slightly too much. Then again, I have a distinct lack of experience in this genre, so I’m probably making a silly observation that isn’t accurate enough.
