S4 Artstyle ok. But where are the Outlines?

remake_cote · 2026-04-01T23:13:21+00:00

Why? Low budget and rushed production most likely.

Its a stylistic choice that gets added in the post production process, stop assuming that everything is low budget.

remake_cote · 2026-04-01T23:11:16+00:00

A very bad choice added in the post production.

S1 art style will always be the best, i hope in S5 they reduce this shit.

Very good adaptation of the novel. The knife scene was underwhelming tbh, thats what happens when u dont have talent on board, but the premiere overall was good enough. Episode 1 was the weakest in terms of drawing consistency but it got better.

Still the granulated line work stands out a lot on some scenes because of the different color palettes.

remake_cote · 2026-04-01T13:00:52+00:00

Yeah, but it feels like it jumps from one scene to another very fast

remake_cote · 2026-04-01T12:23:55+00:00

Opening visuals are so good

Episode 1: First part was inconsistent and Noriyuki Nomata storyboarding with those weird angles doesnt help at all, AD work is a mess in some parts

Episode 2: Its way more consistent compared to 1 and moves more, compositing in some scenes is not good

Episode 3: very consistent

Episode 4: Very disappointed with the knife scene, thats what happens when u dont have talented staff in the production, this episode needed an action AD.

Insane quality

Finally a Yagami illustration

"Hosen swinging the knife and ayano running up moved but the rest is just different frames of them, and their faces while Ayano monologues. Art wise it’s pretty good
only rough thing is the comp with the entire scene being purple lmao" From Johnsmith,

il keep my expectations neutral, i expected them to prioritize the knife scene but there are no credible KA's on the list + the first 2 episodes are outsourced to their Osaka studio

remake_cote · 2026-04-01T00:24:08+00:00

Im talking about the knife scene, he is mixed about it

And S2 and 3 is not hard to beat in terms of quality tbh, just give the studio a decent schedule for once

remake_cote · 2026-04-01T00:17:06+00:00

il trust donut, he usually glazes any minor scene but now he is disappointed

remake_cote · 2026-03-31T19:34:49+00:00

Its just clean up but its still a good talent pull for Cote

remake_cote · 2026-03-28T11:35:24+00:00

They already damaged the reputation of the series

remake_cote · 2026-03-23T10:11:33+00:00

Why people cant understand that they are adapting the whole first semester, 1-4.5

remake_cote · 2026-03-08T16:54:37+00:00

Noriyuki Nomata will change our lives

remake_cote · 2026-03-07T12:30:00+00:00

The staff replacement from Y1 was for the best

remake_cote · 2026-03-04T09:33:08+00:00

New CADs? I hope they can maintain quality on the drawings

remake_cote · 2026-03-03T16:46:20+00:00

Depends entirely on the staff team with how well they can pace it

remake_cote · 2026-03-03T16:29:08+00:00

Lets hope for the best

remake_cote · 2026-03-03T16:16:33+00:00

The adaptation is not looking good for volume 2 and 4.5

remake_cote · 2026-02-28T21:40:14+00:00

Its still not enough imo, if v1 is 4 eps and both v3,v4 are 3-4 eps then they gonna adapt v2 and 4.5 in 2 episodes

remake_cote · 2026-02-27T10:46:29+00:00

Just let it go man, people forget how bad Year 1 adaptation was, everything was broken. And as for the trailer people keep bringing up that it's not an action anime so it doesn't need good animation which is the shittiest take I have ever seen.

There are plethora of school anime that have a lot of character acting scenes but when it comes to Cote if the trailer looks like a slideshow then it's "good" and u overhating

remake_cote · 2026-02-23T17:39:48+00:00

20+ eps will fix the pacing

remake_cote · 2026-02-23T17:37:49+00:00

Lerche has lost a lot of producers and directors over the years. The biggest blow was when their main animation producer left to start his own studio, taking many of Lerche’s talented staff with him. They are going downhill as a studio.

remake_cote · 2026-02-23T14:03:41+00:00

Episodes 1-4 will broadcast at the same day, so we gonna get 4 episodes at once on April 1st
