Watched the Gear 5 Kaido vs Luffy fight so far. I actually don’t like it much. I can always appreciate fluid animation but this animation is just too deranged
That entire segment of Kaido charging up his flame breath and I couldn’t even make out what was going on for a full minute. It’s giving me Anime 6 Tailed Naruto vs Pain flashbacks.
Ready for a hard pill swallow?That's what first came to my mind. Like that naruto episode it's trying to be a spectacle which I can honestly appreciate. While I think this is 100x better than that naruto episode I do have 3 main problems, one of which is actually shared with the Naruto ep
The first being the shared problem of being difficult to follow. While I do think the more deranged animation is far more fitting here it actually handles this worse. I had to rewind a couple times in the Naruto ep to piece together what happened, but here if I hadn't seen luffy reflect the blast already in the manga I would have no clue wtf happened no matter how many times I rewound it.
Second, as others have mentioned is the filler.
Third and finally is the sound effects. While I don't mind that it uses cartooney sound effects I wish it didn't assault my ears with them. It's less like the old cartoons it's trying to pay homage to and more akin to youtube videos that bombard the viewer with them to be as obnoxious as possible and it gets old fast.
it took 14 years for renji to finally get a truly hd episode dedicated to his gains, renji stans better be enjoy them cuz once the true rival appears, and you know it too, kubo gives too many extra canon scenes in the anime, you know how it gonna go when a certain scarred ssj blue haired lad appears
They're too busy complaining about the shikai section of the fight being off-screened (I mean it still happens as we cut back to Mask with his stomach cut), because he didn't get to bare-hand Mask on-screen and it somehow makes him less impressive.it took 14 years for renji to finally get a truly hd episode dedicated to his gains, renji stans better be enjoy them cuz
