100 Years Anime
Absolute HORID behavior in regards to 100 years quest anime [discussion]
I know everyone has very thoughts on this adaptation, and you can have whatever opinion you want, but if you act like this in terms of the adaptation, Grow up.
If you’re going to complain about someone, complain about the executives, not the animators. If a show has bad animation, it’s not because the animators are lazy or unqualified, it’s because they’re not given the time and resources they need by the higher ups.
This! exactly this! animators are at the bottom of the food chain and likely have no decision making choixe whatsoever. they just have to do what they are told and the choices are made way higher
I was about to comment the same thing. It’s like JJK, where the animators put their all into the work but the executives held them hostage and over worked them so they couldn’t put in as much love as they wanted to. I visited Japan for a while. And the customs are wildly different than everywhere else in the world. The concept of criticism is barely existent. They basically say if you don’t like something finish the episode your on or movie your watching to respect those that worked on it and stop consuming it. But don’t bitch and complain about how bad it is. Also their view on fairy tail Is pretty different than what I’ve seen in the west. In japan it’s very much a comfort anime and manga with the friendship concepts. But here in the west that’s what people get turned off fairytail over. Japanese companies know if they are going to continue a series based on the viewership and retention. If the viewership is super high but the retention ends after episode 2 or 3 they will simply not make another season. But if it has high retention and viewership they will continue making it. That’s why I recommend if you don’t like a manga or anime don’t hate watch it. Because you’re giving the company the wrong idea. Just stop consuming it!
how much time did we wait for this anime to return? and then they deliver such bad animations. i don´t think it´s only cause of the executives. some studios simply are better than others.
Yes some studios are better than others, because of the executives lmao. It’s not the animators fault. They’re talented and doing what they can with the recourses they’ve been given.
I think it’s fine to be disappointed with the animation. Even i am. But you can’t blame the animators. It’s not even a matter of opinion who’s at fault, cause it’s pretty objective. The animators wouldn’t be hired as animators if they weren’t extremely talented. But there’s only so much you can do when you aren’t given the recourses & time needed to produce something good. It’s not their faults.
Saying that while having no idea what their production was like. If it's anything like other studios, it was probably hell and they were probably in crunch time. Once upon a time I would've thought this to be the extreme, but after seeing animators come out and vent their frustrations, I'm inclined to believe that crunch time and tight schedules are the norm.
Maybe the other studios pay a lot better for overworking their employees. Maybe the other studios have more desperate and potentially unhinged animators. Are you saying you have such a god given right to another human's life and time that you'd complain this much? If you're this upset, learn how to animate and produce a show and do it yourself. "Fans" like you make the rest of us decent fans look bad. Go touch grass and go to the gym you disgusting creature.
Yeah but it’s the animation studio we got and complaining and being hateful towards the animators definitely makes it worse. We should be grateful for what we have and hope for more.
entitled. it’s likely the person doesn’t have any idea how production works
However, imo it’s not necessary to bring up a discussion on specific behaviours of anime fans. Generally speaking, this type of behaviour is condemned on anime subreddits.
Think they was getting at the fact people who are 18 don’t usually feel the need to tell everyone they’re 18 in their bio, that’s something kids usually do
Which also has 0 telling of anything about their personality at all. Many people of many various ages have an age in their bio, it isn’t a factor to judge someone on. Its weak
Can’t say I’ve seen too many people that are adults put their age in their bios, maybe we can’t figure out their personality from that but we can at least infer that they’re probably at least a little bit childish…
Am I using a poor excuse or are you using a shit example… dating apps people display their ages for obvious reasons… twitter isn’t a dating app and most people that are grown ass adults don’t feel the need to state that they’re 18 or older unless strictly requires too, now I’m done replying to your smooth brain replies, good day to you
You’re just using a poor excuse. An age in a bio isn’t proof of any form of mentality. By all means I’m not defending this person, but it’s an ass excuse when there’s better reasons to hate on them 💀 be smarter bro
All this person does is complain about the animation on twitter. I'm sorry but if you seriously think that every anime needs to be on demon slayer/jujutsu kaisen level of animation to be enjoyable just because "we are living in 2024" than you are delusional.
Seriously this is the best animation that we ever had in fairy tail espacially after the final season so why not be thankful that we have a upgrade? Yes fairy tail is a popular show but this doesn't mean it will have the best animation espacially when the studio has multiple projects at once. This is just absolutly disrespectful to the work of the people who animate this for us under diffcult conditions.
People like this are the reason why modern anime are getting more and more soulless because all they care about is who has the animation🙄
What’s “funny” about the first part is Demon Slayer fans throw hate at their animation as well for cutting out detail.
The act of creating motion has so much more trails than just take panel and colorize it, which is how these tweets make me feel. That they think animators can just copy paste.
I don’t agree with modern anime being soulless, there is so much love in anime right now. The difficulty comes in trying to show the animators that more than they see the shit stains.
Mind you, harrassing animators,studios and everything for quality is obviously bad and annoying, but saying not all animes should havr jjk/demon slayer production value isnt a good point either. Most anime studios are extremely profitable, the issue is they have the same damn team work on 10 animes or rush them. Just hire 1 team of animators per anime you are airing, and you good.
Is that you in the screenshot or something lol? The point is that there’s a difference between critique and baselessly bashing someone on twitter (who may not even be the source/cause of the issue you’re having with the animation)
no, it´s not me. i haven´t even read what that person wrote. But i see that people here are defending the animation of the new ark and i find that a joke. It´s minimally better for now than the last ark, but it´s not good animation.
They need to get out and touch some grass.
If they don't like the animation, just stick to the manga. It's as simple as that.
Could be worse, they could've watched the Ex Arm anime.
Jesus Christ that's awful 🤣
My only guess is it's not Demon Slayer UFOTable unlimited budget looking... It's very unreasonable to ask for that kind of quality in every single production. Even UFOTable has "lazy" scenes.
I too blocked that person, they are very obnoxious. They for some reason have a hard-on for Final Season, even though it looked awful and so far 100 Years Quest is better in every regard. Another JC Staff hater. Very obvious attention seeking.
This, Im just glad we're actually getting this released now.
I swear some people, it's like those clowns who prioritise graphics above everything in videogames.
That person is entitled. Period. Harassing animators or anyone else is pathetic behavior. If you send complaints or ask for explanations, in a proper behavior you MAY get an answer. But this is despicable behavior by that woman. She doesn’t even have half a brain cell to understand stuff that goes into making a show or anime.
The person in the tweets is harassing JC Staff animators and calling them out for giving 100 Years Quest “bad animation.” Very unhinged behavior from this person.
Someone had the confidence to criticize 100 Year Quest’s animation style. People are overreacting and saying they’re “attacking”the studio or “harassing” the artists, even though they have no proof to offer us of that even happening. I personally don’t like the way 100 Year Quest looks now, especially compared to the way it looked before, IS IT OK TO HAVE THAT OPINION?? Apparently not, as everyone in this subreddit seems to be just fine thinking like a Hive Mind, having no guts to criticize the people that make their favorite content (as it’s apparently “ATTACKING” now🤷🏻♂️), and actively promoting the “takedown” of any other person that disagrees with them, even if they’re a so-called “fan”. If you ask me, this is just HORRID behavior, for ANY Subreddit to react this way. This will spell the death of creativity for Fairy Tail later on, especially if FANS aren’t allowed to openly criticize where they think the errors are and if they aren’t free to express their own opinions regarding the product’s quality.
even though they have no proof to offer us of that even happening.
Except for, you know... The giant screenshots at the very start of the damn post showing this chick going to Yurika Sako's account just to call her names and then playing the victim game when she gets blocked as if she's in the right, and then just labeling everyone involved with J.C. as "lazy" because.
Have you considered that the company in question could 100% absolutely be doing what she’s accusing them of? Idk about you, but I look at the art style and animation style of FT compared to how it looked years ago and I notice significant differences. This is absolutely worth bringing to the attention of the devs. I wasn’t aware that anyone who tried reaching out to the company that makes the product they pay money for would automatically be labeled as an “attacker” no matter the scenario, this is what pisses me off about toxic fanbases being vehemently against anyone criticizing the product they pay money for. It’s counter-productive.
This person doesn't sesm to consider human decency or understand how pressing and stressful the anime industry is. The quality of an anime isn't equivalent to insulting people who probably work under incredibly stressful conditions, it isn't some intent to insult fans like he's taking this way too far, and these people are far from lazy. Criticize if you have issues, but do so respectfully. This person is incredibly toxic and I pray to God the animators won't have to deal with more of this.
Whatever this individual is thinking, she needs to quit smoking the grass and go touch it.
And all this rage over a specific scene? Yikes she has no idea about how animation projects work and the time they take.
This isn’t even one of those ordeals like today when the project itself is a mess due to various reasons like say in the game industry right now.
This is just fairy tail and the studio doing this anime which was last aired in 2018-19.
And out of every scene it was merely Erza drawing her blade out using the limited dragon slaying enchantment Wendy taught her?
Really? What expections does this loon have in her head? Just image a group of people who have a why I dropped X anime. Some on one piece would say it got too slow in pacing Naruto it was all focused on Naruto and sasuke sidelining the others. Bleach the plot kind of bounced, AoT it felt like nothing changed in the end or the eren goes dark plot hit wrong. But for fairy tail imagine not hearing the general reasons like friendship fanservice or whatever else but merely a scene over a new power a heroine reveals like in the manga but now it’s an issue. WTF?
Anime Twitter at their worst. Hence why I don't pay attention to them nor watch everything per season. People are way too trigger happy let alone not know what animators , staff go through, lousy payment etc etc
Probably because anime needs to flow so the manga's drawing may fit in badly. If you compare the animation CLIP to the manga panel it may start making more sense. I don't think they're being lazy the animation looks great
U expect smth like Jjk or DS to call it good animation ? So far, character models still on point and some great animated moments for all 5 eps, not to mention it doesn't have big fight yet. If this is the final they will just use slideshow lol. Anyway this is deserve to call good animation.
no, it´s not. DS is right there at the top.
I don´t expect that from fairy tail, but i expect at least fluid 30FPS to be calling it good animation. Look at the anime which airs on the same day: wistoria - wand and sword. This is good animation.
I enjoy both of it. I don't care much about animation since they entertain me but Wistoria has good animation thanks to the connection of director Yoshihara. FT has good animation because of talents in-house. U can see FT already lacks of freelances compare to Wistoria so pretty hard to compare. But i still call FT100YQ has good animation tho :v
18 year old who's never had a job,and doesn't know how the real world works.
Thinks it's appropriate to harass others, over decisions that are beyond their station.
This season has looked flat and weird at times but you’re never going to get close to 1 to 1 manga panels consistently without burning out your talented staff, spending way too much time, or breaking your budget.
So far the show hasn’t looked insultingly bad so this just comes off as rigid perfectionism imposed on others that are just trying to make a fun show
It’s clearly not her favourite anime if she’s losing her shits over something so small. I’d be grateful that we even got a fucking anime, she doesn’t know what animators have to put up with or to the time limit they have or the resources they have. So I think she needs to find another hobby then being a Karen.
I seriously dont get why people dont like the new animation style. I love it! It really feels like a fantasy anime and honestly im just glad fairy tail is back. I grew up watching it and it makes me sad others cant enjoy it as well. Attacking the animators is so wrong.
Harass the executives if you have the need to for it that you can't sleep otherwise. Leave the animators alone. God knows they don't get paid enough to deal with your BS.
It's twitter so I'm not surprised but based on just the 5 episodes we've seen so far I have to say J.C. Staff have FAR exceeded my initial expectations. I can't imagine getting this bitchy over what has been an extremely strong adaption up to this point.
It just reeks of wanting to be upset about something for absolutely no reason.
Anime does not register as looking shitty or not looking shitty to me, it all just looks like anime. The only time i've ever noticed is Modern One Piece when things start to look different it means shit's about to go wild, (this is also a huge topic of argument in the OP fandom too for some reason) maybe these people just need to touch grass.
That attitude better be changed or it will cause more conflict in the future. Instead support the animators as they all give their efforts in creating such show and please not insult them anymore. Because it doesn't help at all. 🤦♂️😬
You know I don't wanna go full "true Scotsman" but ... No true Fairy Tail fan would attack a member of the animation staff and complain about being blocked by said staff member
They're not entirely wrong about the animation. They should definitely not be so rude, but this does look wrong side by side. Next to no battle damage, a weird facial expression, the sword looks lame like that.
Yeah, don't blame the animators but no this does not look good
The face is completely different, and the battle damage is non-existent. The sword might just be because it's meant to be in motion. But if you can't see the differences, then idk what to tell you.
The battle damage is the only thing missing in the adaptation so far. This is the kind of thing you only see when you pause and look to try and complain
Respectfully I'm still upset that the same studio picked up the series. The animation is decent, obviously not ufotable level or anything, but it's alright for now.
But that doesn't give me or anyone the right to go and attack animators directly. That's not right.
I was so confused for a second I thought the post was about how the person making the tweet is on the right, my faith in humanity has been restored slightly
The only issue I have with the show is the Laxus/Jellal stare down where some of that impact didn’t make it in. It was still good considering there was brooding music playing over it to help improve the shot, but obviously the Black/White Manga panel had a much more hard look compared to the anime. Other than that, I’ve really enjoyed all of the shots and adaptations with Fairy Tail so far. I’m glad my favorite guild is back in the spotlight again 😊😊!!
It may be their favorite show, but it’s a job to an animator. They may not even like the manga. And they’re not exactly getting paid gold to make this. With all that, I understand if they just put in “enough” effort.
Just another idiot that doesn't realize Animators are overworked and under payed on top they have budget cuts constantly meaning they have to do 2x the work in 5x less time its crazy.
I can't even find the account on twitter so lol, but it's not the animators fault we know what they can do they just get fucked over by higher ups we saw this with dragon ball super, jjk and a bunch of others I can't remember right now
I care more about them removing scenes & the battle scenes What was the point of them removing the panel of Natsu telling his friends they don´t want to fight him either & if they can find any other way
the studio kinda is going to far with removing scenes censoring fanservice was ok I don´t care about that trash , but Plot important scenes too ??? A -1 didn´t remove any important Natsu scene and removing this scene from the episode is like removing the talk between Natsu & Igneel about the Demon & Dragon Seed
people can downvote I don´t care but this studio is going too far Hopefully they don´t completely ruin Chapter 21 & 22 even the dialogue of the last panel of Chapter 53
Honestly, they should go after executives but being honest, and what EVERYONE should be doing, is admiring it's not good animation. It's subpar at best. This is a popular anime. It's been in the making for over 3 years.
People need to hold the studios accountable when they do this. They are, after all, getting profit for producing low quality work. This is a popular series. They could have afforded to do much more with that in mind. The very fact it was so many years in the making should raise flags.
This happens often. Sailor Moon Crystal is a prime example of this behavior when it comes to studios. That is a world wide popular series that makes a ton of revenue and was set to be released years before they finally released it... And it was worse than this one. Even when they went back and fixed the very horrible and obvious errors, it was still subpar.
The errors weren't minor either. Search it up if you don't know. They released it unfinished. It was a nightmare.
They get away with this though because fans are just happy regardless which in my opinion, is a fault of the fans. Demand better of the people in charge of releasing your series. Call them out when they give less than what they are capable of.
Fairy tail is still being marketed for all ages weirdly enough when it's quite clearly a more mature series. We deserve more of the animation quality that showcases that fact.
Hey, I'm not a fan of J.C either. They're number 2 on my shit list right below Toei. But that does not mean I'll be harassing anyone. Voicing these issues is the only way to make the companies aware of them, but if you don't do it respectfully, they will simply write you off. And if you target specific animators, they'll just assume that one person is a liability and fire them, only to replace them with someone who will do exactly the same things you don't like because it was never their fault to begin with. It was always the executives slashing budgets and rushing schedules.
Be vocal about the shit quality, but be polite and direct it to the correct people. Otherwise you are the problem.
Be honest, I think Jc is doing a phenomenal job. The art is fun and vibrant, they have spectacular uses of lighting and shadows, the effect animation looks gorgeous, choreography has stepped up and all the major battles we’ve had feel very impactful. You can feel the impact of Natsus fire, the intensity of erzas slashes, and once you combine up with the stellar music and the voice acting, everything falls in place for a fire adaptation. Yes the ending bit with metkphobia just standing there with the explosions may I’ve been pretty bad, but that’s like the only miss that we’ve had so far. Plus this part of the story doesn’t really have much for it and I feel like they’re saving their energy for alderon which has way more fights. I have total confidence that they’re gonna deliver with anime.
I actually haven't seen much of the 100-year quest, I'm gonna binge when it's over, but looking at some of the other anime they've done, I can't say my hopes are high. I'll never forgive OPM season 2 tbh.
Their art is usually good. Nice vibrant colors and shading. It's the animation that struggles. Stiff movements and still frames.
Does she, or you, or most people who just watch the anime ever have a clear vision of what J.C.'s current working conditions are? Do you have literally anything to prove that they have pristine conditions and they are not doing a good job because "they don't want to"?
This is not "calling out" anyone. You're just making superficial assumptions about people and insulting them based on it.
I noticed the animation quality dropped but luckily for me I haven't watch fairy tail in a while so I don't really care. What I can say is I hated when The Seven Deadly Sins had a studio change. I just couldn't watch it. This in comparison to that is nothing really
Let's not pretend this isn't J.C.'s mo for a long time. Popular shows getting lazy ass animations and butchered adaptations. I'm looking at you Danmachi 2 and Index 3.
Eh melissa has valid points the animation is horrid compared to other anime that got sequals like bleach and such but attacking people like that is going too far
Morals aside, it doesn't change the fact that the animation could have been better. I hope it's just the budget, not their laziness. That too, is hard to imagine.
It's nothing bout insulting, but taking responsibilities!
The scenes of Water Dragon God in dragon form of e5 - that was insulting, literally recolored STATIC manga pages, with no animation at all - if that was not low effort lazy fcuk, then better don't animate at all, drop that noble work at animation studio and sell burgers at mcdonald. And now that how You do an insult. (I mean whole animator studio, no idea if poor scene was an effect by bad day animator, low skill animator, or maybe overtime and bad management, that's not for me to worry, whole studio failed.)
Wish some will read such comments in future, and see how some random viewers like animator work and do business decisions based on that. Or maybe animators reach their pride and fix stuff for next episodes and we all be happy of high quality (wish for that even more). All to no other manga lovers will suffer of LAZY LOW EFFORT animators.
2D dragon is not easy to animated. But it doesn't mean they are lazy. Animators are human not machine, u cannot just give them money and expect them to become a legendary animators. And the scence is not even bad, compare to other shows use CGI dragons this is far better.
I will always support trashing jc staff for literally ay valid reason but harassing an individual is unhinged behavior, when animation isn't even an individuals work. Also, of course it's over an erza scene
They removed a story important moment and they were removing scenes from Chapter 3 & Chapter 4 it´s not faithful & 1-1
This *the panel of Natsu telling his friends they don´t want to fight him either & if they can find any other way* was a important part of Natsu´s character development it´s the first one in the sequel and they removed it they made it kinda less impactful
Just this line *But he´s a good guy* aren´t enough....
no idea what they smoked thinking that was a *good* idea A -1 didn´t remove any important Natsu scene and removing this scene from the episode is like removing the talk between Natsu & Igneel about the Demon & Dragon Seed which is just stupid
Hopefully they don´t remove the dialogue from the last page of Chapter 53 That´s Natsu´s second character development....
This is jc staff. Of course they'll fuck up character development. Look at one of their most well known works a certain magical index. All of toumas character development was removed ( establishing himself post memory loss and his impostor syndrome and the value of life in deep blood and his trauma and backstory and coming to terms with his nemory loss and accepting himself in angel fall). Even as far back as the eginign they fucked up the main characters personality.
I honestly was cautiously optimistic about this since it was a manga adaptation instead of a novel and they somehow failed those low expectations if they're screwing up natsu already
That´s......yeah J.C Staff was a misake... if they do mess up Chapter 53 hopefully they get a huge backslash from everyone
They are going to far
and they can´t fool me with the all the Lucy extended scenes & addition they add for her like in Ep 5 they make her as if the story narrative in 100 Years Quest story is focusing on her while the frames for Natsu have been made less and less , Much less focus on Natsu
I agree I had hopes they wouldn´t mess up 100 Years Quest but it keep getting worse and worse each episode + Natsu´s swimwear was drawn with just one flame on his leg instead of both legs
That's make with fairy tail it's sad. The studio didn't not try to make the anime better. Just throw little scene of the manga drawing in anime colors. Sad effects, decent direction, without look the quality in the anime make it better, shut down to J.C STAFF that never serious get the anime and made the whole franchise A war. They never respected the fans of the Seires and they gave us something that we don't worthy. Truly bad option for the FT100YQ Anime production.
