Sorry to keep posting redraws, but I think this one is interesting because Sailor Crisis didn't add to many of her own unique details but this is still a huge improvement. It's clear that the biggest issue is that the line work we're seeing in the animation is way too thin. Considering the designs are simpler and the colors are even more washed out and pastel-y than before, what ends up happening is that the characters end up looking like amorphous blobs. I don't understand why this has become a new problem, when even in S3 the linework was pretty THICK.
I wouldn't figure on a touch up. Most likely the budget has been used already. If we do get one then sweet, but totally not expecting it at all.
And yeah a couple of frames in comparison to a whole movie isn't really fair to be honest, of course they can go all out when they're just drawing a couple random things.
It's pretty common to find *amazing* fanart for something, with much higher quality art than in a show, but again it's a random still they're going all out on, they're not animating with all that extra detail and on a time crunch to boot. More detail = less fluid movement unless they have an insane budget and a less strict deadline
Adding some extra detail shouldn't be an issue in a normal situation though. I think people on here see simple anime designs as cutting corners when it reality it should allow animators and animation directors to add their own stamp on the animation because it's less restrictive. Which is what's upsetting about Eternal, the designs have the right balance that it should allow the animators to deliver good work.
One thing I should clarify. The animation issue is probably not a budget one at all, but most likely there has been scheduling problems that is causing the animation for Eternal to be rushed out. I think some of us hoped that Studio Deen's involvement meant that their animators would be working in tandem with Toei to help deliver a solid production... It's clear it's probably just Deen animating the majority of it with a select few Toei animators assisting or delivering key scenes.
i hope later they fix that or at least in the bluray
