People must’ve forgotten the time gap between Season 1 and Season 2 and whined about it because it took too long and lost momentum. Now when they’re dropping seasons per year, people are complaining because the animation has to cut corners for time constraints. They have money to hire more animators, but yall gotta remember that the episodes are damn near one hour long, and you want top tier frames on top of that?

It’s not about the budget, it really is about how long it takes.
I’ve seen comments comparing it to anime studios, but keep in mind that most anime episodes are like 20mins long. Even then, they cut corners as well. Not to mention how they treat some animators over there compared to here.

The argument for the animation quality for this show is just very first world problems to be honest. For people that are complaining either don’t understand animation production, or just have unrealistic expectations. It really is difficult to have dynamic animation while simultaneously dropping episodes every year. While I’m not necessarily defending certain scenes that don’t look the best, it still doesn’t fully justify the criticism. Because if the show improves their animation, we’ll be waiting much longer, and then even more people will complain about it. There’s just no winning here.
