I actually started watching the anime after years of giving up on the previous ones, and I must say Alola is one of the best ones.

>it's another "let me post out of context images/webms" episode

kinda looks as though it's walking like that to fuck with them

could be smoother but I see what they were going for

I don't get what OP is even complaining about.
The way Persian's walking is obviously intentional. So, it can't be that, right?

>>30851118

If the majority of people think something is shit, it's shit, even if it's textbook correct. Fucking idiot.

>>30851200
First, there's really nothing in the OP image that can be explained away by being IN context.

Second, your webm is barely animated at all, and doesn't make things look any better.

>>30851082
pikachus massive eye is for dramatic effect?

But what's "shit" looking about it? You can't just say "it looks like shit" without actually explaining why.
Even then, at that point, you're not making a real, objective argument, you're simply spouting an opinion.

Why do you samefag in this thread? It looks like shit. We all get what they were trying to do but it's static. The animation is bad and together with the awful design style it looks like complete garbage. It was intentional is not an excuse for it looking shit.

man if your free time is this stressful, I would hate to see you at work

>All these people thinking OP is talking about Persian or the off-model Pikachu

I mean, I hope he's not. Persian's stride makes sense, although it isn't that well animated. Along with Pikachu, those look kind of poor but are par for the course. But why does it seem like less than 10% of the people posting here even noticed the way the ground layers are sliding? Or did you notice but think that looks fine? Because you're wrong, it looks atrocious.

I know next to nothing about animation, but objects that are farther back should be moving more slowly, relative to closer objects.

This is the only league loss that genuinely hurt, and i've watched them all. It all amounted to nothing in the end. If anything, i'm grateful for it, because i finally dropped the anime for good thatnks to how bullshit it was.

>>30851602

to a degree, yeah

especially for stuff like this

>>30851506
Uh, no. What a pointless comment. Being only marginally worse than your average anime doesn't redeem that slideshow. That person was clearly trying to post that webm as an example of good animation.

>>30851580
I guess you missed that Persian running away was like two alternating frames, with one frame of it holding its ass jammed in there with no inbetweens, just shrinking as it recedes into the distance? No idea why you'd try to fall back on that shot. The only thing in that webm less animated than it was the literal still image of Persian being hit. The best shot was of its face distorting as the attack closed in.

>>30850185
I actually laughed out loud. This shit looks like a Sega Genesis game.

good god that does look like shit. I didn't notice that specifically, but it did contribute to the general distaste of the scene.

>>30851240
The opinion towards the animation is going to be biased because it's different from the rest of the series. You can't call it definitively garbage.

I missed the last two episodes, has animation really sunk that bad?

oh well, that least it's somewhat better than the early DBS fiasco

if I managed to bear through that, then I don't think I should have the right to judge anything

besides, animation improved from time to time, but you could still tell when budget was tight and I assume it'll be the exact same with this new anime

>it's another shallow QUALITY animation thread
