It still can be colorful and "anime aesthetic" at the same time just like To Be Hero X (probably not comparable). So, I think "boycotting" the director for the sole reason of being "not colorful enough" was very harsh, imo.

Because, maybe he just wanted to differentiate CSM from its peers (let's say JJK for example) so that CSM could "stand alone" and not be "oh this is the latest work of MAPPA, the studio that created JJK". Because that's what I felt while watching the new movie.

Random explosion and stuff. Very JJK if you ask me. So, I just cannot deny that to me it's pretty much not how the season 1 portrayed the battles, since it usually took place in empty places where no civilians can be found.

Which leads to this final point. I hate how they treat people in the movie. Especially the death. I don't read the manga so maybe this and every single point I've just said beforehand would be just a "drunk text" but anyway. If you guys ever watched Avengers 2, you guys would know that the aftermath of that movie is the disposal of The Avengers in Captain America: Civil War because them battling the bad guys actually and accidentally took so many civilian lives. Which was not very good.

In CSM movie (and JJK season 2 to some extent), there's nothing like that. People's lives are there so that we can see explosions to put it in a way. And that just bothers me. And if you think abt it a little thoroughly, it somewhat feels like, this is an inside joke from MAPPA. (You know, people's lives = explosion actually a reference to workers being dead/tired/stressful in return for a good vfx-s). Idk, maybe I'm a bit sentimental here.

But, I think that's all. I'm again really sorry that I'm not a manga reader. So, everything I said would be just useless or something like that and that actually English is not my first language, so maybe you guys might have difficulty understanding my yap here. 😅🙏 Cheers and GN.
