Never underestimate ufotable's eagerness to use CG on any occasion.

Their CG doesn't even look that bad. And they always try to improve their technology from what I can see.

Shame that it isn't Toei. Would love to see it adapted by them in 12 episodes by a strong internal staff like other of their originals . Well, that's it.

Either way, I'm not confident in ufotable. I like them but I don't think that the style of the studio, cg, color schemes and t's animation fits Kimetsu at all. But let's wait and see, I hope it's for the best and it fits what Kimetsu is. And that's without mention the staff itself.

Yeah, Toei sure do a lot of 12 episode anime adaptations of Jump manga. It happens all the time.

 

[Mammo]

And?

Never forget the humanoid demonic retrograde army in ufotable sword boys was all CG

hmm...i see

still demons in kny are not faceless hordes, they're intelligent and have personalities

sometimes they're just humans with fangs and visible veins, I can't see them going all cg just for that

 

[Ninjaz]

Most of Ufotable's CG looks great. CG is what makes them stand out as a studio in the first place.

Oh sweet child..sweet sweet child.

Well, talk with that to Shueisha because they're the ones who agree to license and/or fund those projects as long-running.

In my case, It was mostly a dream for Kimetsu tho lol

Looks a bit diferent, but they sold me the moment I looked at Tanjirou's hands, they're paying attention to the small details.

Tanjirou's forehead scar is detailed as well, they made the important earrings nice and detailed, the eye coloring style is on point, the little details in the clothes are nice and they aren't throwing away the patterns from their clothes.

Oh sweet child..sweet sweet child.

I still don't think it looks that bad. Oh no, it'll be nothing but CG, not really...

No no no no no no no no no

Their CG isn't even serviceable.

 

[Mammo]

Yeah ufotable style is really weird.

There's this meme

But honestly, Toriko's character designs in the OVA were very faithful.

delete Ufotable put Type-Moon

They can make the breathing styles look pretty nice with CGI (breath of water/breath of thunder can benefit a lot from it if done right).

No no no no no no no no no

Don’t really see anything very bad about any of the images you posted.

Their CG mostly looks fine to me. Especially in motion rather than a still image

 

[cody]

Really? What is serviceable CG then? Are you really going to focus on nothing else? I mean, fine, whatever, you can do what you want, but it's kind of a weird fixation. It's not like the show is going to be CG only.

That shot looks good but I'm not exaggerating when I see I expect a lot of CG

I hope they make them look cool and colorful. They might not even use CG, but their own fancy animation techniques or they'll heavily rely on digital filtering, I'm looking forward to see how they'll handle it, but I'm sure they'll make it really flashy in a good way.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Its kinda hard to miss honestly.

Right...

I.G., Toei and Orange i.e. something that blends well with the foreground and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb like all of ufotable's works.

 

[Nemesis]

Those look great tho In fact, I don't remember a cg made by ufotable that was bad. They mix very well 2D and cg.

They do not. They've always been known to not mix them well. Even in that screenshot.

Again, for a TV show I don’t really see how this looks bad.

Either way, I can’t imagine could have much use for CG, given the type of series it is

 

[Scruffy8642]

No surprise Kimetsu’s designs were changed. Was to be expected.

 

[DJBlitzkrieg]

What can they use CGI for aside of the breathing styles? Kimetsu's enviroments are only traditional stuff from the Taisho era.
