It's not about feeling "dense" it's just that the first part of the arc lacked any clear direction, and therefore felt somewhat pointless. The first half wasn't confusing, it was confused.
I see how you could feel that way. And I somewhat agree on the first half being confused in it of itself. But I think it's also important to acknowledge that this saga is a 2 parter and everything Oda has set up has yet to be paid off, and I think he did that beautifully in Enies Lobby. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the saga as a whole
I think you're focusing too much on the vocal minority of hateful Sakadays fans and not coming at this from the perspective of an adaptation. The source material is probably the most dynamic manga in Jump currently due to Suzuki's great artwork and frame flow. Even Gege says the paneling makes him more self aware of his own shortcomings. The simple fact is, even if the adaptation is above average, it's still unfortunately not elevating the content of the manga. Though there were some extended scenes, the stuff from the manga that was adapted was mostly a copy paste storyboard of the manga panels and a lot of the speed and intricate gun fu was massively simplified in the anime. There is good reason for fans to be a little disappointed since even a good adaptation of great source material is still unfortunately a downgrade.
That's fair, I obviously haven't read the manga, but the thing is, I doubt much of what you stated could be inferred from a couple of traditionally edited trailers and an OP. Much of the online hate started long before EP 1 aired. If anything, the episode has quelled some of the negative reception. Fans being this judgmental, despite having so little to judge is quite concerning IMO.
@ProbablyPretentious I think we have to distinguish between negative reception and hate. Negative reception, pre-episode 1, existed for the reasons of adaptation based on the content from the trailers. And yes while trailer footage can be misleading and isn't enough content to judge an entire show, let's not forget that the main function of a trailer is to get people to get hyped and consume the product. If it's not doing that function, there is a problem either in the marketing or the product itself. And I think most of the visual complaints made in the marketing phase have still carried over to episode 1 though to a lesser extent. It's just disappointing for me personally that a manga with so much potential for great animation isn't living up to that potential. At least so far. And we also shouldn't expect people not to form opinions if they haven't seen the entire show. It's the maker's job in my opinion to get people to watch. If the production quality isn't matching up to that expectation I'd say that's sensible disappointment.
@@ProbablyPretentiousBy judging from the trailer and op it turned out exactly how we thought. The trailer showed multiple scenes so it shows you what the quality will look like on average and the quality wouldn’t just elevate to such a degree to be to far from what we got in the trailers. They can do that one thing where theres like that one super well animated sakuga fight for the season but at the same time thats only one fight, and then again sakamoto days has alot of great fights back to back.
I think Sakamoto days doesn’t have the most engaging paneling, but Jesus Christ the action. Every single time there’s something new and crazy going on and I love it. The perspectives are so creative as well. For someone like Gege to appreciate the choreography as well is huge
Strangely enough, I'm enjoying SL S2 more than S1, i suppose that action focused episodes help a lot, and the OP is awesome. With Momentary lily i haven't change my opinion, its just looks weird, those immaculate 3DCG HD Backgrounds that keep alternating every time, those colors, those angles, those effects, those unnecessary hair's and "other things"'s movements, the over the top 2D action animation, and now is trying to be like PMMM but with very one dimensional characters so far... is very weird. Zenshu so far has been good, but i don't feel much exited about the story. Sakamoto Days looks indeed decent, but the second episode suffered a downgrade in animation, and leaving that aside i think the pacing is going really fast, another character was introduced and joined to the main cast with all the issue solved in just the second episode plus Sakamoto flashback, I didn't feel much while watching the episode, are they omitting and rushing things from the manga? idk.
@@amongoose1087 30, 33 (which he did cover) and then arguably 38 and maybe 36, 39. They're at least a little bit above ep 1 of Sakamoto Days and around the ballpark of Solo Leveling s2 ep 1, where animation is concerned.
@@Mr.BluePantsA-1 has much better in-house animators than Pierrot films/PierrotSTUDIO I still don't know why it doesn't look as good as Sword Art Online despite being a part of the same studio. Might be different teams but I have no clue.
@@rouged3392 Funny enough it IS the SAO team who's handling Solo Leveling. I guess the compositing for SL just isn't as aggressive and there may be a few key animators missing from the team i'm not sure. I never watched SAO so i'm not sure how it compares to SL animation/SBing wise.
Did you found the ubel Baltt animation stiff? The artstyle and backgrounds are beautiful. But the movement in the fighting scenes felt a little bit lackluster.
I think the sakamoto days hate is overblown, I think the critiques with aspects like the comp are valid but I think people overall had unrealistic expectations considering what every pv had shown leading up to the first episode.
@AlexSciChannel I feel like Sakamoto fans deserved this anime. I see alot of them on twitter wanting mappa or ufotable to pick it up and I die a little bit more on the inside. I don't really care about the source material. If they get mad over "above average animation," then im happy they aren't getting JJK level animation.
@@AlexSciChannel for as much as that disappointment is valid, I would advise against seeing this production as something that "should" not be getting the treatment its currently getting. I agree that better production circumstances might have lead to a better product that better represents and accentuates the material thats being adapted, but to say that "it should not be getting the above average treatment" is misguided. This implies that shows "should" look a certain way and anything other than what was previously thought of is not acceptable. Additionally, it implies that any smaller production shouldn't tackle any sort of popular IP and tackle it in their own way with limited resources because the IP thats being adapted "needs" to be given to a high profile team that can make the show look amazing.
@Papameme2711 When I am saying things like "should" i am saying it from my own personal perspective, not objective fact. From my experience with the show so far, despite being an above average production quality, it still does not match the dynamism and speed shown in the manga's paneling. And overrall doesn't elevate the material. A lot of the movements feel sluggish and much of the choreography associated with the gun fights have been watered down. An example is in the first chapter of the manga, Sakamoto dismantles the goon's gun before he can shoot and you just visualize that movement in the manga. But in the anime he just swats the gun away with the same storyboard as the manga panels.
Ep 1 was solid/decently strong but ep 2 was just... not. But animation aside, i think the thing that turns me off the most about the show is the art direction. The show just doesn't look great, aethetically, it looks outdated if that makes sense. It's not even just the basic compositing.
I hate the textures tms is using in Sakadays and I sometimes like the comp and sometimes I hate it episode 2 animation was definitely a step down from the 1st episode like most anime I hope it gets better with the future fights
@@asherkolars1283 it's out in Netflix Japan they premiered 2 episodes once but outside of Japan all the countries get only episode and delayed from japanese release idk why Netflix does this thing
I read the manga of Sakamoto Days before the anime announcement. When i read it, i felt the potential for action to be like JJK or Cowboy Bebop. But the anime is... Just average. If i haven't read the manga and didn't cared about animation i would enjoyed it. My biggest nitpick besides animation is compositing. I just straight up don't like it and i think something closer to Spy Family would fit much better, but getting a Wit x Clover adaptation would be a too big of a copium. But it's just an inferior adaptation to the original source material and it's pointless for me. I feel like most of the fans also feel that way, just in more radical way (you know the drill about fans). And yeah, quality of the anime was slightly better than what i expected after seeing the trailers, but difference wasn't significant. To finish my thoughts, i agree that anime adaptation got too much hate, but i want to provide a reason for why it is that way. When manga is really fun, interesting and has choreography that is better than jujutsu kaisen manga (also artwork is better too, even when compared to the best parts of jjk), it makes fans like me a little sad.
Thats exactly how i feel. Don’t know why it’s so hard for these people to wrap their head around the fact that the anime looks like it won’t do the manga justice. But this quality mostly fits these weaker, less serious beginning fights in the beginning of the series but i still seen some scenes where i thought it just looked better in the manga
With how popular the Sakamoto Days manga was, I found myself thinking we were gonna get something around the level of dandandan or solo leveling. Stupid in hindsight, but those were simply my expectations based off of the manga's popularity and the hype surrounding the anime. So I couldn't help but be disappointed with how the show looked. I suspect this kind of thought process might also be going through the heads of others.
Medalist is anything but not standard. Its already the best new anime of the season and the manga is like one of the best sports manga of the past decade
Honestly if Sakamoto Days had better art direction and compositing people wouldn't complain half as much, but it just looks... basic and outdated, if that makes sense. And then we know damn well they won't be able to replicate ep 1 again aside from maybe 1 more ep and the rest of the show is probably gonna look moreso like ep 2 or below, which isn't great.I hope I'm wrong 'cause I wanna enjoy the show.
Everyone who watched JJK S1 didn't complain at all despite having bad comp and Art direction, they mostly focus on the raw animation side of the show. I think the comp for ep1 looked interesting (on the guns and shadows)
@@akrembilel1813 You make a good point there ngl... JJK s1 had those same issues. And yeah i did like the way they composited the guns. Realistically tho, it feels like ep 1 of Saka Days is not gonna be representative of the show at all, while JJK s1 had plenty of strong eps throughout.
@ It was ok... Had like 40 seconds of actual decent animation sprinkled throughout, but it's not what i'd consider a "strong episode" by any means. And I suspect the show isn't gonna improve these coming eps.
@@akrembilel1813 The strong part with JJK is even if the composting isn't good, the direction was still unique and fight choreographies are dynamic which makes it pleasing to look at. Sakamoto's direction isn't that impressive and looks like just 1:1 copy paste of what readers have already seen.
8:21 Medalist had 1 AI background, There is scene where you can't read what is written in background since there is a possibility that it was made by AI.
Let's not throw accusations like that around unless we have substantial evidence. I'm not sure which frame you're referring to, but what you described is perfectly natural. It's not a photograph, it's not uncommon for unnecessary detail/text to be scribbled in.
watch in dub, i think its hard to realise how much personality jinwoo has when watching in sub. i think jinwoo is quite a funny and caring character, i dont think he lacks any personaltiy whatsoever, but i think watching the sub definitely loses some of jinwoo's charm.
@@KiIZero Part of the problem is also just missing dialogue and internal dialogue from the manwha. For some reason they decided to make him much more serious in the anime
@@matth1641 i like the anime jinwoo more than the manwha jinwoo, the anime is giving him much more depth, character, personality, and humanising him much more. which works wonders imo, you can argue that the anime cut some comedic scenes, but the anime has some few anime only comedic jinwoo scenes, the anime is keeping jinwoo’s funny side in as long as it won’t ruin the tone, and atmosphere of the situation he’s in. (which a lot of the manwha’s comedy does early on sadly). so i disagree with you, the anime isn’t making HIM more serious, they’re just making the series more serious toned. cutting out misplaced comedy that ruins the tone (like when jinwoo turns into a chibi after almost dying against igris, or like when he struck a cool pose and jinho turned chibi after jinwoo literally just murdered hwang dongsuk and his group). jinwoo actively visits his mother in her hospital bed, checking up on her whenever he can in the anime. which doesn’t happen in the manwha, jinwoo never visited his mother until like chapter 60+ in the manwha. jinwoo jokes around with jinah a lot more in the anime, and so far is much more caring for her. Jinwoo actually reminisces of the people he kills in the anime, he thought about how he was becoming more bold as he levels up, how he’s starting to lose the light he once had as he gains strength, this never happens in the manwha, he kills and looks cool while doing it and thats all basically. jinwoo smiles as he hears jinah has good grades and is a role model student in the anime, doesn’t happen in the manwha. i could go on, but the anime is doing wonders for the world, story, characters, and especially jinwoo. but hey, that’s just my opinion.
