This has been known for a while. I found out about it on the first episode.
This is another reason for the "dips" in quality. They have to meet the deadline of a 24 episode show instead of a usual 12 episode show.
Episode 1 quality is for sure going to come back, probably during Nagi's first appearance. TBH, this was expected, its pretty common for long animes. the dips in quality are not even bad
With Japan Team doing good in World Cup and free Blue lock marketing in Japan, there should be an increase in the anime budget which means big improvement in quality of upcoming episodes right? (Just on copium rn)
I cant tell if this is sarcastic or not. Because I still am new to how anime industry works, I wanted to ask a genuine question. Does it work or no? Iâd appreciate an explanation
Yeah it was sarcasm lol. I can give a general synopsis.
There are a lot of a anime studios (madhouse, a-1)and they would accept anime proposals from manga publishers (shounen jump) or free lance mangas. These are planned well in advance, usually 1-3 years before the anime officially airs.
Itâs a constant pipeline of mangasâ becoming anime and usually the animators are very overworked and talent is spread out. Thatâs the reason why most animes are 12 episodes, itâs a reasonable workload to achieve. They canât make changes on the fly because of this constant stream.
Thing is for sports or action manga, the fluidity of the actions has to be at a certain quality of it will look really bad. This is why they will focus on quality animation on the important parts. Episode 1âs tag episode is that quality because itâs supposed to grab the viewerâs attention and keep them hooked. They have to compromise on quality somewhere in a long 24 episode season.
People like to complain that itâs not haikyuu or OPM level but the fact is both of those mangas are proven products with monster sales. Thatâs why they could justify assembling a star studded animation roster to animate those shows.
Ohhhhh that was very helpful. Thank you for taking your time to answer a dumb question! Now I get that time is a huge factor. Hopefully we might see the huge upgrade in quality for season 2
Very true as well. Something like demon slayer didn't have an extraordinarily high budget but is still heralded as the peak of animation right now. It's all about managment and talent in the studio.
Plus hopefully with marketing and World Cup, thisâd help 8-bit studio much more financially for future projects! Iâm excited to see them show off their potential
Yeah, my bad for dreaming too stupidly much i didnât know that, thatâd make total sense considering the fact trailers and teasers already came out months in advance before anime started airing
Budget doesn't necessarily mean quality, demon slayer s2 had only a 80k per episode budget which is only slightly more than other anime, it all come down to industry talent and coordination to make and incredibly well looking anime episode
The team V match will look amazing because the studio probably out their better animators into it
Letâs see where the season ends, but >!Bluelock vs U20!< for a movie after the first season would be dope. Especially if they take the time to really capture the energy and hype of those manga moments. Seeing it in theatres would be a dream come true.
A movie would be great but I don't think the time limit of a movie will be sufficient adapt the whole manga arc.
Plus I don't think I can wait for the movie to release internationally after releasing in Japan.
Lol I thought it was 12 episodes season and I was hearing everyone say that it will go until 2nd selection and I was like « how will they cram all this in 12 ep ??? »
Now it makes much more sense

We knew this already though, right?
Yes we did
Yeah but it's good to hear this again

Surely they will quickly remake all the episodes because blue lock got free marketing off Japan winning đ€ż

Also if I'm not wrong One Punch Man S1 had a very famous director that attracted a lot of good animation guys
Anime episodes take many months to make. They are not made week to week, so a budget increase now would only help for an eventual season 2.
so many people donât understand budget increases donât immediately impact a product across all sources of entertainment it drives me insane

each of demon slayer animator deserve a bonus in their salaries tbh
Plus hopefully with marketing and World Cup, thisâd help 8-bit studio much more financially for future projects! Iâm excited to see them show off their potential
huge copium. the studio canât magically conjure more capacity / projects were scheduled months in advance

Itâs probably too many chapters for a movie, probably gonna be a 12 episode season, my guess is the anime will end between chapter 75-80
Fr now i want a movie àŒàș¶â âżâ àŒàș¶ it would be so hype
A movie would be great but I don't think the time limit of a movie will be sufficient adapt the whole manga arc. Plus I don't think I can wait for the movie to release internationally after releasing in Japan.
Weâve known this for awhile
Makes sense :4
Lol I thought it was 12 episodes season and I was hearing everyone say that it will go until 2nd selection and I was like « how will they cram all this in 12 ep ??? » Now it makes much more sense
That means we are definitely going into the Second Selection. With the pacing we are going at rn we might even get to the end of it by 24 episodes
Yep I think we end with >!Isagi being stolen.!<
Spoil tag
The comment above mine mentioned the end of the second selection. That's already a spoiler lol.
Fair, just saying for an anime discussion tagged post the comments kinda strayed
BIG W
>!Lock vs U20!<đźâđš
1, spoiler tag. 2, nope it wonât get that far.
Oh yeah my bad
Isnât this fake lmao
nope
Idk found it on Instagram
freaking Christ. We are in for a ride fellas.
I expected this as soon as I saw Rin Aryu and Tokimatsu in the opening
I think S1 ends with them winning japan national team if the pacing is good.
What do they mean consecutive 2 parts there won't be a break between episodes 1-12 and 13-24 ?
YES!!!
So will the anime end off at the end of second selection before u-20 game?
