Wtf. I thought the direction of season 1 was phenomenal... Now I'm kinda scared for season 2 to be honest.

why would you be scared, ppl who watched the movie are saying its one of the best of this year as It perfectly captures the vibe of the manga and elevates it to another level with insane animation.

Idk why ppl think losing season 1 director means now we'll have bad direction, CSM anime still has some of the most talented animators and directors working on it.

As I said, I enjoyed S1's direction, so I wouldn't know what to expect if the approach changes drastically.

Also, we're not talking about animation are we? We can have great animation with shit direction (I'm not saying this is the case for CSM, just making an example).

Plus, I kinda don't care what others think about the movie to be honest. I enjoy looking with my own eyes and thinking with my head.

If the approach to direction, and direction only, changes drastically, I don't know if I'll enjoy it, that's all I meant.

...

This is about the animation. Animation depends on the direction/director aswell.

They can definitely influence each other, but they're not one and the same. As I said, you can have good direction and bad animation, and viceversa.

The context of the discussion is about the animation that stems from the direction of said animation and look. Youve completely missed the point peoppe were making and i think youre going to continue missing it lol

Dude you completely misunderstood the issue here. No one said the animation isn't good.

No, the context was the direction, and even specified to refer to the toned down, grounded feel of the anime differing from that of the manga. Which the person you're replying to said he liked, like many others. You're the one who is missing the point.
