Hosoda's movies had already started to flag writing-wise once he decided he was a big name auteur who doesn't need a screenwriter, and Belle was on the verge of just being visual vomit a lot of the time. But this just looks bad, like he learned all the wrong lessons from Belle

December release? Sony must be pushing hard for that Oscar nom.

I love The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, and Wolf Children, but after his past three films, his name alone is no longer enough to sell me. While I think it's a good move for him to try something different at this point, I'm not a fan of this animation style. That said, if word of mouth is good, I'll give it a chance.

As someone who prefers traditional 2D, this looks kinda dope to me *shrugs*

Well, he seems to be branching out plot-wise, but going for CG animation...I dunno...

When I first read the plot description, I was really excited since this is probably his most action oriented work in a while but the 3d animation
 ... It was already my least favorite part of Belle so it being used for the whole film is disappointing.

Well, I won't chide him for trying something really out there, and as a fan of Studio Orange, I can't say I mind the 3D look, even if it looks a lil indie for my tastes.

Personally I’m happy that he’s trying to branch out story wise. Also for 3D I thought it looked pretty good.

How dare a creator branch out and do something new and out of his comfort zone? Shame on him! /s Also, I love how people are pretending to be shocked that it's 3D when he explicitly said his next movie won't be 2D. |

He also said it was going to have a revolutionary new look, which it definitely doesn't lol

Branching out? More like Dumbing Down.

If we are gonna quote him let's use his actual words at least: "Hosoda stated the film is not 2D animation or "Hollywood-style CG," and he is aiming for a completely new look." Was he wrong? It doesn't look like your typical Disney or Pixar movie. The aesthetic is unique enough. |

Anime fans continue to be petty and entitled. No wonder the industry is so creatively bankrupt. |

No you're right it looks like it lacks what made Hosoda special in the past. For all I know he got Frozen's character designer again, who did Suzu's online avatar in Belle, or at least heavily replicated that look again (mind you, I don't even dislike Frozen's designs at all, but also don't really want that vibe in non-Disney auteur works) and the environments are just incredibly boring. One of the top comments compares it to Berserk and I mean... compare the visual direction in Berserk 1997 to this. It's kinda nothing
It doesn't feel like a "new look" either, just what "2D-like CGI" generally is these days. |
