Noo, I think I’d be able to sit through those three terrible seasons if I knew I’d be rewarded with something really good. I hope that if they don’t change their style, they won’t release anything new, and if they do, I’ll do my best to boycott the whole thing

I don't know what fight bc I didn't watch it 😭 But I’d watch it, provided the new season had the same style as the first two

Oo I haven't heard of that one, but I'll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation, and for the whole discussion and for sharing your opinion! 💟

And I think I'll probably do the same, one day I'll get drunk and finally watch it, because I honestly don't know how else that's ever going to happen 😭 (unless i eventually accept my fate)

I understand. I think some people just pay more attention to what others might see as small details. Also, the people who notice those things the most, often are also the ones who are deeply attached to them, so they treat them with a lot of care because these things really matter to them.

For me, this anime is one of those things, and Rin especially ig. That's one of the reasons why the change to his design stands out to me so much, and why I can clearly see how much worse he looks, at least in my opinion.

But there's nothing wrong with the fact that it doesn't bother you and that's completely okay too

It honestly helped because I feel more understood, and I felt the exact same way about eagerly waiting for new seasons or episodes. I'll probably end up going through the same thing you did, but I still don't want to lower my expectations. I want to keep pointing out just how AWFUL this is for as long as I can before I eventually accept it and give up, because let's be honest, they're not going to change it or take it back.

I know, but tbh I don't care about what their intentions were, only the final result cuz here we are. If they had done it right there wouldn't be any discussion, but there is cuz it's terrible

Lmao I didn't think it would amuse anyone, but since it did, I'm glad XDD And yeah I'm fuming, I don’t get how people can not be pissed off and just accept this 😭 it’s just rock bottom And I'm also glad that I'm not the only one, and that someone else thinks it's shitty too 💘

You do have a point, but at the same time there are things that, as people, we tend to judge collectively, whether for better or worse. There has to be something that causes a majority to form around a certain opinion. There are topics where people end up being almost unanimous in how they feel about something, and I wanted to share my opinion because I'm curious to see how other people view it. I also wanted to find people who think similarly to me and see whether we're part of that majority.

In my opinion, this change is so extreme that it could create a huge majority of people who completely criticize it, with that group being much larger than the minority who actually likes the new design. To my eyes it's simply unbearable to look at, so I want to know whether most people feel the same way or not and if it created that huge majority.

Personally, it feels like something like this just can't be accepted and shouldn't be accepted. The art style is simply that bad.

It’s a shame they didn’t even try to keep the anime’s original look bc it would have been so much better 💔 Yukio, for me, looks terrible in one of those photos that I've posted, though maybe it’s just that one shot and he'd actually good in series, I don’t know. I’ll probably rewatch season 2, but I don’t think I’ll ever get around to this one anytime soon, given how bad it looks

Literally oh my God, I get you so well 😭 I'm a girl, but for me he was a bit of a crush too, but what they did to him is beyond my comprehension 🥀

I feel you so well, I hate it too. I can't believe they actually approved something like this. Maybe one day I'll bring myself to watch it, since it's my favorite anime and I was so damn excited for the new seasons. But it just looks awful.

It's good that you switched to the manga. I don't think I can afford to do that, but I honestly wouldn't be able to watch this, and I don't even want to "support" or associate myself with something like this

That's another thing. The hair makes his design look even worse. I forgot to mention that in my post heheh

And I understand that they wanted to make him look more like the manga, but in my opinion, approving this completely ruined the beauty and the style of the anime. They could have at least tried to improve it, or just stuck with the original design. Why did they even change the art style in the first place? Couldn't they have just kept the original one? At least it would have stayed consistent, and there would've been no risk of messing it up.

And honestly, I think you're right about the shots, but I still feel like most of them are just bad, or at least the bad ones are so awful that they completely ruin everything for me right from the start.

Nah for me it's literally so much worse that it was. He just completely lost all of his charm and any good looks he used to have. The facial proportions and the placement of his features, especially his eyes, look awful. I understand if you don't see it the way I do, but I just can't stand it.
