I’ll be honest the key art doesn’t look too much better either.
I’m also curious why this got an article this is something that feels like it would have been inTWIA or a review elsewhere on the site. |

A review talks about the show itself. However, this talks about the production of a trainwreck of a show like this.

It's amazing that EX-ARM still looks so terrible after yet another 3-month delay. Had it premiered this year as originally planned, it would have easily unseated Gibiate as worst show of 2020. In fact, I'm not entirely sure this show isn't part of a plot by Studio KAI to make Cagaster look good.

People complain about Netflix Originals anime but they have a much better track record than Crunchyroll Originals thus far.

I was about to say how God of Highschool is the only Crunchyroll anime that was at least decent until I remembered Crunchyroll didn't really play that big of a role in its production. |

Anyway, I'm more interested on why on one at ANN did a feature article talking about what happened to Gibiate's production. (They talked about Gibiate in TWIA, but I'm more interested on the show's production instead of the show itself)

I refuse to believe that anyone thinks that image on the left looks cool, even ironically. The girl is so stiffly posed and oddly proportioned, and the guy with the weird hand thing isn't exactly what I'd call dynamic either. |

Feels like they would have benefited by reading well...any basic animation book(such as the Animator's Survival Kit). Animation captures the illusion of movement through exaggeration, it's why even rotoscoped animation can look odd when done by someone without knowledge of basics.

In/spectre had various issues, even some in animation but its animation was never anythin special to begin with. Even God of Highschool had outright bad animation when you ignore all the big fights. They didn't BALANCE the budget well in GoH but those big moments were all people seemed to pay attention to (and the trash story lol). Tonikaku Kawaii again is something that works with average animation. Probably their best work overall so far, but I'm curious how much influence they even had. So far CR Originals have been among the worst of their respective season (except Tonikaku Kawaii). Not surprised to see how bad this upcoming show is gonna be |

I thought this was going to be a clickbait article and/or one being overly-nitpicky for its own sake, but…that was literally jaw-droppingly awful. If it were just test footage, I might still be mildly concerned, but who thought (outside of perhaps contractional obligations) that this was fit to see the light of day?
Seriously: Is this the final product? Are they really thinking about showing this work to everyone in two months' time? |

My guess is that at this point there's so many anime being made, with netflix coming in the fray, that crunchyroll couldn't find any people with experience in anime to make the show (at least at their budget), so instead they had to be "creative" in their hiring decisions.
But only crap, that trailer is embarrassing, how did no one pull this? Maybe they saw that Kemono friend got a bit of a cult following and though it was because there's a big audience for crappy CG visual? |

Oh, I don't know. As horrible as this looks and sounds, I have trouble believing its story will reach Gibiate levels of badness too.
In/Spectre is something of an acquired taste. Most of the issues I see raised against it are true of its source material as well. We are talking about a series where several wholly dialogue driven chapters in a future arc are confined to a single room. It makes a series like Sagrada Reset look frenetic in comparison. As far as adaptations go, I think they did a decent job. Last edited by Seagloom on Tue Nov 10, 2020 6:59 am; edited 2 times in total |

Still looks better than Mars of Destruction, at least.

What pisses me off is the fact that all of the money used to make these rushed shows could have been used to make a sole not rushed one.
Or even not rushed mini series, they could animate something like Pluto with the same number of episodes as GOH and it would have been glorious. |
