Quality animation by Shaft

I usually don't mind animations by Shaft (i actually didn't have problems with them animating Bakemonogatari and Nisekoi)
This QUALITY animation though....(from the beginning of Mekakucity Actors episode 9)

If they were trying for something new, they failed miserably. The animation is so bad I lol-ed

it's like they (=Shaft) didn't even try. The vocals were fine though.[/quote]
I wouldn't be surprised if MCA's budget was cut due to poor BD preorders.

Just look at Blade & Soul. If anyone still watches it, the latest episode was the laziest animation I've seen in a long time.

it was suppose to be a 3D look to it. so they were trying to make it seem like it was more real? but then it might be ironic because the memory might have never existed. omg i just solved the biggest mystery of the world.

^ I read it was supposed to look like a kid's drawing. They could have done a much better job than this though. Maybe they decided to lower the budget for an anime they know won't sell well, and the result is this crappy CG

Supposedly, the use of the horrid CG was a jab at CG-based anime like Sidonia and Arpeggio.

The animation for that scene still felt out of place, so I don't know what Shaft was aiming for.

@atrocity5:
I don't pay attention to who is animating what. Except Key, only a demon could hate Key.

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that happen. Thankfully they switched back after the opening.
