>>33192115>the animators think it's more important that the important scenes get good animation and less important stuff can get by on framing. SM's character designs were simplified with more animation in mind though so it has more good animation than XY.So basically, the rest of the episode looks like shit while a few instances like the one you posted look good?
But in XY, the whole episode would look good. I couldn't give 2 shits about the background characters and their unnecessary expressions during Ash's battles. And even when they did show them, they'd still look good and on model.
That's the thing you SMfags don't seem to understand. No one cares about the other characters and how "fluid" their facial expressions are when all they are doing is reacting to what we care about, which are the battles. XY didn't sacrifice one for the other. Which is why all instances of the battle or episode looked good as opposed to a few so your useless background characters could look "expressive".
And even still. This episode's battle looked worse than your average XY battle, which isn't saying much since every SM battle has suffered from this.
