I am not one for stringy hair, but I do understand what they're trying to go for. She seems like some girl just butting in, bro only spoke to her a few times. There's thing left out,

Also I accidentally watched ep 2 first, honestly, it was a cooler experience

OK, I'm sorry but 12 mins in this first episode, WTF is this shit?

Just because you have a 3D world doesn't mean you move the fucking camera around every few seconds like it has ADD. Whoever this twat of a director is should never be allowed near 3D ever again.

Don't even get me started on the shitty script so far, but that could be because of the garbage editing and overdone 3D with camera doing random things every few seconds. This anime feels like a shitty JRPG where story, dialogues, action make zero sense. And of-course it has 7/10 rating here because people watching this shit these days are just easily distracted by tits and shiny AI graphics.

This anime is 100% using AI for characters, everything looks like the way AI generates anime art. The only thing they probably added on the characters is overdone hair.



EDIT: Dear lord I resumed watching the episode and it instantly transitions to a flyby of a generic medieval town, like a fucking video game. Not gonna lie, it gave me a good chuckle. I think I'll watch this anime just to see what 3D looks like in the hands of someone using shitty AI and discovering 3D in the first place.

Just marvel at this shitty AI generated model of the city. It looks like it was rendered in Google Earth:






EDIT 2: OK, finished watching and the issues with animation remain. The world is clearly generated with AI, the towns especially are not man-made and you can tell when they start zooming into the scenes. Characters have that shitty overdone animation with ridiculously overdone hair animations on top to distract you from the AI generated art.

Ignoring the art, this would be a servicble Isekai if it wasn't written awkwardly, or at-least the first episode is. The comically overdone evil characters, the terrible provided background for the MC, the generic enemies (frogs, really?), etc. I think it's incredible how zero imagination can get you far, as long as you use AI.

Wouldn't be surprised if the script for this show was generated by ChatGPT as well, it's by the books after-all.

Oh well, I'll watch it for a while and see if it gets better.

Finally, a man of culture!

I thought I was going crazy with all this praise of the animation. It couldn't be shittier.
Even Shinigami Botchan to Kuro Meido starts to look decently animated compared to this pile of CGI horse shit.

I'll try to watch the second episode now. I hope the shitty animation won't be as distracting as in the first episode. Otherwise this'll be a hard drop even before ep3.

The first episode of The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System was a fantastic start. The premise is engaging, and the main character immediately stands out with his intelligence and confidence instead of relying on brute force alone. I really enjoyed how he uses his knowledge of the game's mechanics to outsmart everyone around him. The animation looks great, the soundtrack fits the atmosphere well, and the pacing kept me interested from beginning to end. If the rest of the series maintains this quality, it could easily become one of the best fantasy anime of the season. I'm already looking forward to the next episode!

Prob the first time im saying this, but the animation lowk too over the top and I mean motion wise, it makes me dizzy at times...

Could they have toned down the motion it would be perfect, cuz they already nailed the sound design.

Incredibly predictable show.

The camera movement is horrendous.

Absolutely atrocious. Go Hands secretly being a pharmaceutical company with a focus on nausea medication is the only thing that could possibly make this anime make sense. I refuse to believe real humans can watch this and think the animation is good. You are A.I. and the internet is dead.

All jokes aside, no way I can stomach Go Hands for 26 episodes. I'm just going to drop this now and avoid losing 26 days of lunches.

Quite an interesting series...

Some crazy animation going on, lol

Also, I noticed that the SUB says "Master Swordsman", while the in-game status screen says "Sword Saint" (which is usually the highest title for swordsman in a JRPG setting such as Fate series, Danmachi, Goblin Slayer, etc etc)

As the title of "Saint" refers to those at the top of their class and usually given to the "savior".

To many recap scenes. I just watch the scene a few minutes ago, I don't need to be reminded about what just happened.

Very weak start.
Yet another re-heated slop I guess.

Surprisingly, the style of this one is actually pretty interesting because it really tries to do something different from the usual.

The only problem is that I feel like it’s too much. They’re trying too hard. There’s just too much of everything, and when you overdo it like that, it eventually becomes annoying.

There’s too much movement, too much visual noise, too many colors, and the characters’ hair is constantly flying all over the place. The tracking shots are honestly just nauseating.

It’s a good idea and it’s definitely original. You don’t usually see this kind of style in anime, at least from what I’ve seen so far.

But here, they just pushed it way too far.

Oh, it's one of THOSE series...A series in which you might as well skip the first episode. The art style may be interesting, but it's actually rather distracting.

animation and camera angles in particular are kinda weird - if they haven't used it that inflationary it would look fancy, but it's rather confusing sometimes

The animation is insane. The camera work is a bit jarring in a entertaining way.

Who gave GoHands a blank cheque, the animation is diabolical
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Damn the studio cooked the animations !!! Its been a long time I watched an anime with such premium animations !

Tbh its awful to get exiled by your parents and some trashy cousin of your's take your place in the family just because they got the class your parents wanted for you to have .

The hairs are so pretty ~
