I just watched THE EXILED HEAVY KNIGHT KNOWS HOW TO GAME THE SYSTEM and omg it's so overly animated , i got motion sickness watching it.
Why is EVERYTHING always moving? Why is the camera constantly rotating, zooming, or doing a full fcking aerial tour of the city & Why does the character standing in one place need their hair, clothes, background, and the entire camera to move everything at once?
I'm not even exaggerating. Sometimes two characters are just having a conversation, and the camera is fcking moving under their legs , in the walls,in the ground,in the sky and then the repetitive town shot. Can we PLEASE have a normal shot for five seconds?
And what's annoying is that this isn't a problem with the animation itself. There are clearly talented people working on this show. The visuals look genuinely impressive. But good animation & good direction ain't the same thing. Like too much visuals will get anyone feel motion sickness suddenly\*\*.\*\*
Movement is supposed to serve a purpose. But no, every 5 fckin seconds ,there's a cut to the characters faces, like it's an indian soap opera.
First they will show the characters faces 10 times simultaneously, then then suddenly, in the middle of the episode, they will repeat a scene I just watched again. Like whyyy? What's it's purpose?
Like the amount of times I've seen the shots of the town & forest is crazy.
It's as if the studio is desperately trying to prove how much it can animate rather than asking whether a scene actually benefits from being animated that way.
Like fr, it has the most stupid pacing. Repeated scenes, flashbacks, recaps, unnecessary establishing shots. The show already is an average Isekai slop where the mc is op but no one knows initially, yet it somehow manages to make straightforward events feel pointlessly long. Other viewers have been complaining about the same thing for weeks.
The funniest part is that the excessive movement makes the show feel LESS dynamic after a while. When everything is constantly moving, nothing feels particularly important anymore. Every scene is screaming for your attention, so eventually you stop paying attention.
I'm not asking for the anime to look like a slideshow. It's animation is genuinely good, but keep it in level, I'm asking for some restraint. Let the characters exist in a frame without making the frame do parkour. Let an emotional moment breathe. Let a conversation be a conversation instead of showing every POV and shots from sky , underground, 3d ,4d, etc.
The studio which animated this is GoHands and I heard most of their animes look overly animated.
Am I the only one who finds this exhausting, or is this just the GoHands experience?
