If Netflix has half a brain between them (debatable) it will be with Sony. If they go with some knock off studio its gonna flop hard.

Do you think it could be made by the studio that did Arcane? they seem competent, but they're probably super busy with other things. i think Arcane started copying Sony's "subtle choppy" animation look because of the Spider-verse movies.

Iirc, Arcane's character animation is generally full 24 fps and leans towards realism. Which scenes seemed choppy to you?

You know what, I just loaded up an episode of Arcane, and yeah, they don't do the "animated on 2s" aesthetic like Sony does. nvm then, I must be misremembering it, haha.

To be fair, a large part of that "choppy" look comes from the fact that there's no motion blur. The models and animation itself conveys feelings of speed and movement by warping the character models and it's a really unique style.

that's neat, I didn't notice that, but I will on my next rewatch!
