I don't wanna start any rumors guys and this is a vague memory I cannot back up but wasn't Yukie Sakou also doing something similar? Alluding it was not a very good time working for Toei? Maybe it is a false memory or I simply confused her with Sakai at the time.
Well, she deleted all Crystal related things in her twitter page. Maybe she did not liked working with Toei, maybe she couldn't deal with all the Crystal hate towards her art idk idk
Sakai at least says he worked on Crystal in his twitter bio

btw how good was suite precure? cause sakai directed that anime too

Rumors are that he got screwed over on that too but because they had to change things after the 2011 earthquake & tsunami happened.

I do feel sorry for her some because she did get some hate.

Her key-visual and everything was fine to me but it was the episodes which I am under the impression we're sourced out to lower budget studios that were the problem.

Was she the one who had to go back and fix the errors for the Blu-Ray or were that someone else?

Seems like a real tough job.

Look at ep 2. It seems to be the matter of tight schedule. We know that they can draw very beautifully, but at the first release, all they could offer wasn't unbearable.
Honestly, if the quality had dropped from episode 10 or 13 instead of episode 2, this series wouldn't have drawn that much hatred.

I think she did corrections for the blu ray, idk if all of them also she was chief animation director (as any character designer) but was dropped after 5 episodes or something like that and wasnt even CAD on season 2

she did some good job fixing things tho:
akira vs yukie:
Spoiler: show

She did some corrections, but most of the job after the first 5 episodes was done by Kazue Komatsu, although she came back for the final two episodes. I cannot believe how one of the animators that needed most corrections done for the blu ray became animation director of the third season.

Now think about it, back in 2016, you could easily get bashed for saying you don't like Akira's style.

Still wouldn't have worked cause all their manpower are concentrated in One Piece, Dragonball and Precure.

What surprised me the most was the worst drawn frames were actually drawn in Japan according to one member here. The injustice they did to :rei:.

Well we did get the meme. :googly:

I still wonder if the ugly faces/frames were a protest by the animators to say: “If you want decent animation you have to invest into it and treat the artist behind it well”. I can’t imagine those people to be so badly skilled.
Seems like Toei didn’t care enough and was okay with it. And Sakai and Sakou probably suffered most, because it was about their reputation.

Dragonball Supers has those terrible frames too.
Admittedly it looks much better than Crystal's worst.

That big-headed Rei? lol
Not sure what to describe it. Twisted eye :rei:? :question:

From what I've seen of TMM, it looks a mess. Some things are not too bad and the transformations are a little creative but ....
yep, they change more things from the manga than crystal, and some impacts moments were turn down
well i like better some old transformations than the new ones, a example minto transformation i like her ballet transformation, i think the only one better is ichigo that i think in the old series didnt have a good attack
they really cut out minto debut episode x.x
i know for some the first season of crystal was a mess but i feel it better than this XD

They cut out Mint's introduction (she is a lot like like Sailor V), but they pretty much combined the plot of that chapter with another episode and actually gave her a lot of character development. Whereas Crystal in its first season actually removed a lot of little scenes that developed the Inners' characterization.

As a whole, I would say Tokyo Mew Mew New had a SIGNIFICANTLY better first season than Crystal. The Dark Kingdom arc was a disaster. But in terms of animation, TMMN is not too different from S3 or Eternal.
