Animation a bit lazy/choppy?


Just watched episode 4, it was choppy as hell, especially during the zombie fights at the hospital. Went as bad as 10FPS.

Anybody noticed the same? Have they had a budget cut?

Completely agree. The first episode showed some promise as far as the animation. It's a shame because I love the character designs and pretty much everything else about the show. There is no excuse as to why the show looks so stiff and choppy most of the time.

No it's not easy and I appreciate the craft that goes into animated shows/films, which is why I'm such a fan of anime in the first place. But so far Watanabe's Cowboy Bebop showcases smoother(more consistent) animation than Space Dandy, which is why I'm confused as to why Dandy can look choppy.

Yeah, it's pretty idiotic to critique hand animation, as it's quickly being replaced by cgi, let alone animation of this quality. IMO, the animation is the only thing good about the show.

I absolutely love the animation style of this show. Each episodes animation just like the plot is unique.
