The Anime “Sentenced to Be a Hero” impressed fans with its first episode. However, the quality is said to decline afterwards, according to an animator.
What was so good about the first episode? Many fans felt that the premiere of the anime felt like a finale because it was so good. The animation quality and the visual effects of the anime were particularly impressive. There were also constant action scenes that had a lot of impact. Additionally, the hero’s superpowers were very creative.
Furthermore, the anime covered the very first arc with the first episode. Only a few series from Japan manage to do this, as most stretch their arcs over several episodes, especially at the beginning.
However, the animation quality is not expected to remain at this level. An animator from Russia who worked on “Sentenced to Be a Hero” warns now that you should lower your expectations.
Animator warns that the next episodes will not look as good as Episode 1
What does he claim? On X, the animator EVAKOI warns about the next episodes. He is pleased to have received so much praise after Episode 1. However, he would also be happy if the animators working on the next episodes received the same praise.
The problem: The next episodes are not expected to look as good as the premiere. According to him, ambitious animes have a hard time in production. Even a schedule that extends over years would be very tight.
For some reason, people on this website [X, note from the editor] feel that everyone in the anime industry owes them something. No one claimed that the series would be perfect. But the series will have its moments.
Who claims this? Behind the pseudonym EVAKOI is Slava Kolchenko, a young animator from Russia. He has also worked on “Sentenced to Be a Hero”, “Jujutsu Kaisen”, and “Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War”.
What do others say about this? In the comments, there are many users who understand him. They find it even foolish to expect the entire anime to maintain the quality of the first episode. After all, it is so grand that it could almost pass as a short film.
They also cannot understand why some fans evaluate an anime solely based on animation quality. Many commenters can hardly wait for the next episode to finally be released.
