Saw episode one, thought it was dope. Saw drama about the immediate drop in quality before I caught episode 2 and now it's been a bit hard to wanna jump back in.
That kickoff was so well done! Ya hate to see the immediate contrast...
I saw a few people talking about it, but as a "layman" who doesn't watch much anime, I thought it was pretty good overall. I really didn't care about the quality drop because in some instances it felt like it came right off the page.
At the end, I enjoyed it for being around. And it still has some incredibly creepy parts and awesome art
I should go back and finish either way. I definitely get a bit snobby about animation (old school have drawn purist, can't handle 95% of the 3D stuff happening a bunch now), but still cool to see these stories unfold as an animated series. I just know it will be hard to avoid looking for the shortcuts and rough bits. Hard to turn the snobbery off sometimes. 🥲
