>>50758231my major complaint is gonna be how little effort they put into Steven match compared to Cynthia.
They gave Cynthia a brand new gimmick and a brand new animation of herself putting sexy lipstick on (which is out of character and completely dumb fanservice). For Steven they recycled his old animation of (almost) kissing the keystone for the 4th time. Apparently they refuse to let the stone actually touch his lips because it's too lewd, but Cynthia can touch her lips with her keystone all day long, alright
I already know that Steven will get incredibly few scenes, especially no up close up ones. During the match the focus will be solely on Ash and Steven will just be a small figure on the other side. fucking Team rocket will get more screentime than Steven. The animators hate Steven.
Steven only had like 2 seconds screentime in journeys so far, nevertheless they managed to fuck up his jacket in pic related.
Overall it feels like the animators are heterosexual men, Cynthiafags, who don't give a shit about cute boys like Alain or Steven, even if the audience does.
Also I hope they manage to convey Steven's personality in some way, but journeys did a very bad job with staying in character in the past. Wallace was completely different than everyone remembered and Iris taking a selfie with Diantha, but not Lance, for example. Alain was ooc too for not even talking to Ash. So for Steven I hope they give him more lines than "use meteor mash" and "congratulations ash"
