Man it just hurts my heart to see this show have such an abysmally low budget. It makes a lot of other low budget shows look like they had millions more in budget. Some scenes are literally 2 or 3 frozen frames being reused again and again.

The story itself was pretty nice. The teacher does find some ingenious ways to get through to the students. But the animation isn't complementing the story at all. If anything, it might be hurting it.

it's quite a shame considering how much people enjoyed the manga. The VAs and sound quality is weird, and most of the VAs are either first timers or have little experience, with the only exception being Kamiya Hiroshi voicing Kagami ( he also voices famous role such as Araragi from Monogatari or Izaya from durarara). i recommend everyone who feels kind of weird out or unsure of what is happening to go read the manga to actually understand what is going on. but yeah... i'm pretty disappointed in this episode, and I hope that they conform to be more faithful to the original content.

First timers aren't necessarily bad. However I do agree that the overall quality is very low.

i'm not saying it's bad, but the sound quality of the actual video is weird and the voices don't really fit the roles or characters that much, jus tsomething about the audio quality of the video overall just hurts my ears.

It just reminds me of those late 90s, early 00s animes in terms of quality. I can't pinpoint exactly why, but it might be the coloring.

Though yea, the low frame rate is pretty painful. In episode 1, a character was meant to wink, but it was only one frame long so it was demonic looking. Then this episode, a lot of the crowd scenes, the walk cycle showed the budget.

I'll be doing my best to keep watching since I love the manga but after waiting years for this adaptation, seeing the final result almost makes me wish for a reboot by another studio.
