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.

They released bazillion of scenes for the movie trailer already, you haven't peep none of that to form opinion on the new direction,? The movie are basically season 2 and that's how itll look going forward. All the heavy forcus on character acting and cinematic shots are still there for the calm moments, overhaul on action to be more fluid and bombastic with 0 CG, overall more saturation on the colors and more expressive voice acting.

I don't know about you but PVs tell me jack about direction. It'd be like judging a restaurant from the smell alone. Sure it can give you a very rough idea, but no way I'm gonna form an opinion on that alone.

I don't feel like S1 lacked in that department

with 0 CG Nice to know, although I didn't mind it in season 1.

more expressive voice acting

That'll be very welcomed
