Well there you go.

>>159461728
Looks fucking great, so I don't see the issue.

>>159461728
Funny thing is there isn't much action on it or anything. Just the introduction of characters.
But yeah, /a/ just give them a slap on the wrist compared to how they treat other shows.

>>159461728
Multiple animation directors is fine if that's the plan from the get go. Multiple animation directors is not fine if they do it because "oh crap we've ran out of time". When Disney did 2D, they had the equivalent of an AD (lead animator) for every major character.

Is it? They are the most hated studio in the West after A-1.

Did they change Gibert's design? I thought he's black haired

Nah it was always blue, the anime just went with a brighter color palette for whatever reason.

>Benedict's stilettos aren't cross-shaped anymore

>>159462856
Ah, they should've just kept it dark blue. A lighter shade of blue doesn't really suit him for some reason. Also, I'm really liking the design of the clothes and the choice of VAs are pretty good as well.

>>159462667
Damn she looks so fine

>>159463103
Novel designs were shit anyway, based GodAni just made them ten times better as usual.

They can have a bajillion art directors working on each specific frame for all I care.
All that matters to me in the end is if the anime is enjoyable enough to watch at all.

>>159463671
The LN illustrator is the character designer.

>>159463103
I take that back. He had black hair during the first VEG CM. They could have at least gone with a navy.

>>159461728
Yes, and...?
>>159462889
Glad she fixed his design a bit.

>>159462580
The most hated studios are DEEN and Gonzo

>>159462580
>>159465740
Remember when it was J.C. Staff? Me too.

>>159465740
>>159465881
The most hated anime studio is still studio /a/nime. Bunch of dick-drawing losers who sell the inner organs of their employees to pay up for the basement rent.

>>159466075
I wish the anime had a cooler toned palette like the illustrations.

>>159462548
>we've ran
Run.

>>159466221
Same, wish they did watercolor BGs too

>>159466075
Wasn't the character designer for Amagi Nakajima Yuka?

Is someone from CLAMP involved with this? Shit looks positively awful.

Jesus Christ what the hell is wrong with kyoani?

What a shit choice of hair colour. Original is much better

I heard it was their best produced episode ever so?

LN uniform was much better, why'd they change it.

>>159467914
LN had two uniforms. The formal one and the combat one.

>>159467874
What are you whining about?

>>159467950
Ah I see. But the hair colour change sure is weird though. Original hair would've made a better contrast for the eyes.

>>159467914
Nah, the new uniform may be bland, but the old design here >>159462856 is just silly, get on with it.

>>159468029
I totally agree, but maybe it'll look better in motion

>>159468106
She simplified every design, so the anime version probably won't look as silly. See how Violet's anime character sheet lacks the weird belt collar.

Fuck DEEN. Fuck DEEN so hard.

>>159467615
They want Free audience

>>159468207
Namikawa is actually pretty good for Gilbert. Though I think Fukuyama Jun, Ono Daisuke, Yuichi Nakamura or Suwabe Junichi suits him better

Everyone looks good except Gilbert. The hair color is shit.
