Can't wait for the fan service beach episodes
Or the hot springs episode
[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;52937610]There's something about this 3D animation that makes it feel very different from the other 3D anime I've seen and I'm not completely sure what it is.
It kinda feels like they didn't use traditional 3D animation techniques but instead used traditional 2D sketches (at least keyframes) as a basis for posing the 3D models. There's just something about the camera, cuts and character movement just ~feels~ like traditional animation to me.[/QUOTE]
the animators are definitely traditionally trained and it's animated pretty much exactly like how you'd animate in 2D which is why it looks great
but i doubt they used many sketches as a basis since an anime production wouldn't spend money on that sort of thing, even stuff that looks nice is usually on a very very tight budget
[QUOTE=Mattk50;52938821]A lot of 3d anime uses consistent framerate for their cgi which makes it look crappy due to "high framerate" moments that have no effort. 2d animation traditionally uses variable framerate (which is translated into a constant framerate for your .mp4 files but the point is the animation) they seem to be using that well, using 3d to generate each frame and then defining frame density depending on whats happening in the scene as they would with traditional 2d animation.[/QUOTE]
most really cheap-looking cgi anime that tries to replicate 2D uses the same kind of variable frame rate that you're describing but does it by just reducing frames and adjusting timing on standard keyframe pose-to-pose animation without proper care having been put into the movement curves (usually just leaving them as-is or using simple easing). Which just makes it look choppy instead of achieving the intended effect.
Here it looks like the animators move the characters frame-by-frame a lot of the time instead of tweening it, and even when it's tweened (like for slow linear movement) they're putting a lot of work into the timing curves to make it look good
