> the options were A) not finish and air nothing and call it a loss, B) Just finish and air Episode 1 and leave it incomplete or C) run all four, warts and all.
Not that I had many hopes for the quality to get better again but damn man it’s over already

Ngl I didn’t notice a quality drop, I thought the EP was great at making you feel very unnerved

why not release the first episode when the last is about being done?

Can someone help me understand why studios don’t animate the entire season AND THEN air each episode… Why are they crunching like that.. it seems so counterproductive.
Also it’s not like they don’t know if they’ll make it to the next episode because even if it is a bad show it still gets finished.

It got people talking about the manga. I suppose that’s something.

“Out of respect for the hardwork we chose C”? He thinks people are stupid to buy this reasoning lmao. Even if it’s not his fault just don’t say anything man

No, no no no… I waited years for this. I held off on watching yet because I wanted to watch all four in a row, but… Are you fucking kidding me??? What the fuck were they doing all these years man. God fucking damn it.

I wonder what happened with the production, they had so much time for the production, to the extent that the director didn’t like how the initial stuff went so he reworked it and started with scratch. For quite a long time this anime was in production and even had a lot of delays and hiatus. I want to know if the director even had required resources to work on the anime or it was just another ambitious project that failed after the first episode.
Anyway it’s disappointing cause for a 4 episode anime with like years in production to fall apart in one episode shows something seriously went wrong. Both studios haven’t produced much anime but the director seems to be experienced though he hasn’t worked on anything apart from Uzumaki in the last 5 years as per his MAL page.

Wow. I’d not watched it yet but had heard some chatter but seeing the clips now… wow.
We finally thought it had been done, and this is how things are gonna turn out?
The guy who directed Tower of god season 2 action sequence is the one directing Uzumaki now? if so, then damn.. He singlehandedly become one of the worst known director in anime industry this month..
also it says here that he’s a blacklisted man by most studios, so why tf did they hire him if he was known for terrible job? 🤔

Can’t say I’m surprised. DeMarco was also heavily involved in the creation of Ninja Kamui, and we all know how that turned out. Whether or not I buy his story, it seems like wherever he’s involved there’s problems with production

As an anime only, yes I definitely notice a HUGE drop, but it is not ex arm tier quality either, I see Soo much worse and the show is still enjoyable to watch, but it is sad that it finished like that.

I’m so fucking disappointed. This was my MOST hyped show of the year and to see this happen is beyond sad.
I barely wanna watch the last two episodes now.

Oh wow, what the hell, so the final 2 eps are definitely going to be subpar then?

I’m confused. I didn’t notice the drop in quality.

I’m starting to wonder if the reason for the delay had anything to do with whatever caused the drop in quality in this episode. And if so, then what the hell was it that was so catastrophic that it couldn’t be fixed after a few years of trying? I haven’t watched it, but from what I can tell, the quality of episode 1 was already good for a long time based on the trailers. So something must’ve happened after that. Or maybe all the episodes were screwed from the start and episode 1 was the only one they managed to salvage ahead of time. From DeMarco’s comments, it sounds like a single person managed to drop the ball so hard it tanked the series. This whole situation is just crazy.

Why not just admit it’s by design? Like a downward spiral of animation. Probably a few would believe it.
Chay4707 on
This shit is Ninja Kamui 2. Insane good first episode then quality dropped after the 3rd episode. But this is even worse because this was worked on for years.

5 years and they could only make 1 episode. absolutely pathetic
