I’m kinda disappointed it just looks like a generic Japanese anime?
Edit: as in the stylistic art for the characters is very just Japanese anime not fantasy drawings matching the books.
I really meant emphasis on generic not the anime part.
Like the characters all look like any generic isekai cast on some 3d mapped backgrounds from scans from the movie miniatures.
Its got a feeling of cheap and passionless like some rich guy just paid for an anime adaptation cause anime is currently popular.
I dunno maybe I’m reading into it but my hype went way down.
Traditionally speaking, anime looks the way it does because funding for animation in Japan was tiny, so they cut corners wherever they could. Character designs were cut and pasted, backgrounds were static, lip syncing was out of the question, and frame rates were kept low.
I guess, now that there’s more money for it, and updates technology allows for them to get around many of those early restrictions, they keep doing that stuff, just because, I guess.
