----------------------------------

Looks like Berserk 2016 (i.e. bad CG models) -_-. I guess TMS is putting all their budget into Dr. Stone's final season.

Oh well, now I definitely have an excuse to go watch the original '84 series.

Well, I made some time to watch the first episode. It is indeed another case of Berserk 2016, sadly. The fight animation itself is pretty good, but the art (specifically, the character models) look not-great. I recently purchased the Lost Paradise PS4 game this past Christmas and think that has better CG rendering for its characters than this anime, which is bad, considering that it's eight years old.
