Talk:A Episode 2: Friendship Battle! Yuga versus Ranma!/@comment-25600444-20180609012134

Overall thoughts on the episode

Decent but some issues

Animation wise, some weirdness here and there and I guess cheapness (like the Move and Lip Animations were just weird/off in some scenes). Like it looks like the animator just used recorded themselves using a Mouse Cursor during that Move.

Character Wise, the way they're building them up is a step up from the prior seasons. Like, There's ACTUAL struggles!!! Reminds me of S1 in that regard

I am starting to notice a bit of an issue that I hope doesn't pop up too often in the future.

During certain attack scenes, they seem to make quick cuts to other areas of important, rather then keep the focus on the scene itself

E.g. When an attack hits, they cut to the life meter, where as before with the Green Hovering Life Numbers, it was easy to overlay it onto the scene.

And sometimes when they cast counters, they have to include a quick scene of the card entering the field, which also really just messes your immediate focus.

So I guess Animation Wise, some improvements, some downgrades personally, and some hiccups. It's a new season. Things happen but still have to make a note of it.

Narratively, Ace is making a real good impression. Ranma isn't a 2D Character who's only good for one thing. Garga didn't become Batzz 2.0 (so far). Yuga is shown to FEEL, rather then just be shonen determined all the time.

I'm liking Ace's run so far. Hope it's still keeps my interest.
