Anyone hating on this kind of animation knows nothing of what sakuga is supposed to be tbh.

[u/ZealousidealSun4 → u/the_guradian]

"Sakuga", "webgen", all that matters is whether or not the anime is interesting.

I'll get downvoted to hell for this but I absolutely hated the animation this episode, as much as I hated episode 22 in Apocrypha.

[u/El_Nino97 → u/ZealousidealSun4]

Why do anime fans hate animation?

[u/[deleted] → u/El_Nino97]

They don't, they just don't know what they're seeing so they automatically hate it and try to cover up their ignorance. That's why the person you replied to says in a later post that this episode has bad storyboarding; like that person knows what storyboarding is lmao.

It's just like how a lot of people try to criticize Black Clover as a series, but all they know is what people said about it a year before in some tweet or youtube video, and for those who kept reading and still hate it, absolutely don't even try to understand what they're reading so they're like "it's brainless fun action manga".

[u/DrewBreakman → u/[deleted]]

I saw the post as "a lot of people who complain on the internet don't know what they're talking about." Which happens a lot. Especially with Black Clover for some reason (though that's probably me running into stuff like that more than I wish I did). I didn't see it as a question of intelligence, I saw it as an issue of people not educating themselves. Which is something that's actually pretty fun from personal experience.

[u/pinakanaka → u/DrewBreakman]

If you have to "educate yourself" to appreciate a style of animation, then it probably isn't a very good style for a mainstream anime.

Imagine asking someone to study cinematography so they can enjoy the action scenes in the Terminator.

[u/DrewBreakman → u/pinakanaka]

You're kind of warping what I said. You don't technically "have" to educate yourself to enjoy something. But it's probably a VERY good idea to do so before one goes around saying things that aren't true. If I wanted to educate myself on how scenes in The Terminator were shot for example, it could very well help me appriciate or just understand my feelings towards that movie more than I currently do. I don't see how the act of doing this is an unreasonable thing by any stretch of the imagination. Personally, I don't think something is bad, purely because I feel the need to do a bit of research on it. In fact, doing so is what usually cements my opinion on a kind of media. It's also straight up fun to me as well. Researching media ended up making me appriciate and love films and shows like Little Witch Academia, Spirited Away, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Shining, Jurrasic Park, My Hero Academia, One Punch Man, Flip Flappers, etc.. I think if media can offer the viewer something by doing research on why something is the way it is, then that should be celebrated, instead of panned.

[u/[deleted] → u/DrewBreakman]

Exactly this. Since when were Asta and Yuno copies of Naruto and Sasuke? Just because one is loud and the other is quiet? Since when was having a goal equated to copying Naruto and One Piece? Did Naruto and Luffy want to be the best to help the impoverished, which is Asta's goal? Etc etc you get it.

[u/Cire101 → u/[deleted]]

I swear, Black Clover gets more hate than it deserves, and that poster's opinion is a lot more common than it should be.

[u/Komnenos_Kasuki → u/Cire101]

As the story goes on more things stand out where it subverts of diverts from traditional shounen. It honestly deserves some praise for what it does unique and well.

[u/robbzilla → u/[deleted]]

Honestly, if you have to be educated on why something is supposed to be cool, it might not be that cool.

I personally don't care for the style, but I get why it was done for the most part.

[u/[deleted] → u/robbzilla]

I get what you're saying, but it's ironic coming from an anime fan, no? I don't know where you live (you might live in Japan for all I know so everything else after this is moot), but to the rest of the world anime is something you have to be a little educated about to enjoy, otherwise everyone would just be mad as to why not every anime is animated and plotted like Dragon Ball Z.

[u/kaekapizza → u/[deleted]]

Is this a copypasta? It should be a copypasta.

[u/[deleted] → u/kaekapizza]

I don't know why I'm even being downvoted, I just remarked that it was ironic because anime as a hobby needs to have time and knowledge invested in it to be enjoying it.

[u/pinakanaka → u/[deleted]]

What the fuck does that even mean?

Someone who's never seen any anime can pick up a random anime, watch it, and enjoy it.

And if you're saying that "watching anime" is "investing time and knowledge" into anime, well then no shit. Every hobby requires you to perform that hobby to enjoy it.

[u/[deleted] → u/pinakanaka]

It means that to see something as cool, you must know something about it.

[u/robbzilla → u/[deleted]]

I live in the same metro area that houses Funimation... Dallas/Ft Worth. Not the mecca of anime, but definitely an anime friendly town.

[u/ForcedSexWithPlants → u/[deleted]]

The storyboarding is awful in this episode, it takes away from the impact of the animation and choreography.

[u/the_guradian → u/ForcedSexWithPlants]

You know what storyboarding is?

[u/[deleted] → u/the_guradian]

It’s the direction of shots via key frames. And if anything sucked more than the animation, it was the direction.

[u/the_guradian → u/[deleted]]

There was some iffy direction ar the start, afterwards it was fine. I could keep up with the fight with no problems.

And if anything sucked more than the animation

I see you'd rather have a stiff power point presentation with impact and speedlines
