WHAT??? Demon Slayer is so beautiful to watch, especially the detailed characters and animation-

I've only watched the first season so maybe it gets worse afterwards
People are upset because of cgi in the later seasons. But personally I think they are good, but there is a few times it looks weird
I am upset lmao. For a show touted as having the most beautiful and impressive animation in anime, I'm pretty dissapointed ufotable stooped this low.

And tbh I'm not really liking this current arc. The story isn't making any sense. How did the demons found the village? How the fuck is tanjiro able to fight against the 4rd upper rank alone while it took 2 more skilled demon slayers and a hashira to kill the 6th upper rank? Mist hashira easily killing the 5th upper rank alone while the last one lost his hand over it? These upper ranks are said to not have been killed in like over a 100 years and by the time tanjiro came along they've been dropping like flies.

I think my taste has changed over the years to where I'm able to criticize this show now.

Cgi are all over the place in the industry (Mob Psycho 100 is exception), it save to say that it's the standard. Most of anime use cgi to save money, but Demon Slayer use it to achieve what hand drawn animation can't do. Why do I assume that? Because most studios outsource their cgi, but UFOtable cgi is in-house. All the team not just focusing on 2D or 3D but they worked together to achieve the result what they wanted. They got beaten so easily because age factor, they have lived for more than 100 years afterall lol
Nah the cgi just looks really out of place when you put it in demon slayer's environment. For a franchise that makes millions to billions of yen, ufotable shouldn't resort to those methods since I personally think it ruins the show's aesthetic, which many of fans watch it for if they think the story is bad. Granted there are CGI that do elevate an anime's animation but demon slayer isn't it. Also I need an example of CGI doing what hand drawn animation can't do, since I can't percieve any situation where it applies.

dynamic camera movements
Nah pretty sure 2D animation can do that as well. I don't have any concrete examples but I found a video explaining how to do it:

it will took a long time and also not everyone can do it

Theoretically yes, practically no. The movement in the video is still not really dynamic, the shape of walls and things in the background are still basic, and not a lot of things happening. In action animation like demon slayer there are a lot of things happening, character movement, visual effects, and interaction with the environtment make this practically impossible. Not to mention in anime studio they only have a few background artists and not a lot of them can animate moving background.

the most dynamic handrawn camera motion in action anime is in Mob Psycho series. Still it's not as dynaic as cgi camera movements

I HATED Erased. It was so predictable, I couldn't empathise with any of the characters. It was just such a chore from start to finish, don't know what possessed me to see it through.

The anime does the worst possible job at adaptating Junji Ito's works. Every single second of that shows has no soul put into it. It's like a treasure box without having any treasure or gold in it, it's hollow.
The animation is one of the worst I've seen if you were trying to recreate stories from one of the most renowed horror creators, the voice acting and sounds are so unfitting it'd belong in a circus, the characters have their souls ripped out of them and acts as a driver to continue the story, etc.
It feels like they weren't even trying to live to Junji Ito's name. There's no effort, no passion, and is a massive middle finger to every story that was adapted in that anime.

i forgot the name because i'm a knob. feel free to reply if anyone knows the anime i am talking about since it's pretty infamous in the weeb scene some years ago;
its about a girl from circa WWII japan that got kidnapped(?) and was forced to play in a circus or something. i think they raped her as well. don't remember much but i recalled her mother died? not sure.

anyways, if you can't tell with my synopsis of the show, it is pure eye sore. i wathced it with my sister and fucking hell it was a shitshow. horror? tragedy? its such a clusterfuck that it may as well be comedy. but what pisses me off is just the time i wasted watching this dumpster fire fuckwit. precious time aint coming back now.
thanks for the help lads. its midori btw

in my purely subjective opinion

anime, promised neverland s2
manga, oyasumi punpun (too nihilistic and depressing to me where reading it just felt so bad)

Definitely 'Pupa' shit was weird and kinda gross but also really short anime

I was planning on watching that one because of that once scene proceeded by a nice boat. Looks like it has an abyssmal 5.53 score on MAL too so this'll be fun to watch.
That shit was not fun to watch. I'll just post my thoughts on the rate your latest completed anime/manga thread since I don't feel like posting the same thing in different threads.

DEAD Tube, I read the first 4 chapters and was just like, 'This is trying to imitate the absurd disturbing shit you might see on something like liveleak with a story and it doesn't work for me' and immediately dropped it. Only manga I have legitimately dropped

If we count avant-garde shorts... Technology Shamanism is the worst thing I have ever seen. Sayuri is a masterpiece in comparison. Do you think you have seen bad stuff? Try looking at flashing images for 8 minutes. That's literally the videoclip. Just horrible. I utterly hate its mere existence and I feel that whoever directed that must hate humanity.

I'm probably gonna get crucified for this, but Demon Slayer was boring as hell to me. It looks nice, but the story is unappealing to me.

Not actually the worst-worst, there's a lot of actual low-quality stuff I watched, but my most hated one is FLCL. The epitomy of lolsorandomxd without any value. It's so pretentious it hurts, either do a coherent parody or don't do anything, being ironically dumb is still dumb.

FLCL is either praised or burned at the stake. There is no in-between.
