and once again the meme run doesn't line up with the background animation

The most batshit insane thing I've seen in anime all year. As expected for K1RO.

This is for real in the TOP10 of the greatest sakuga ep i ever saw.

K1ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I thought Watanabe's cut would easily overwhelm, but somehow everyone who worked on the episode matched that same energy (especially Chris), well done. We eating good lads!

Lmaooo. To be fair, it is much better here than some of his older cuts. With K1RO, other departments can only "try" to match his balls to the wall sequences lol.

Not again with the ice skating shit, I thought the compositing director had improved.

It's always kinda funny seeing people that don't know much about K1RO.
The "ice skating" has less to do with compositing and more with his style, it's one of his trademarks.
I mean we literally have running sequences just as hectic in this same episode but there's no "problem" there.

I really hate his style.

ice skating is real

Please no more fucking watanabe run discourse

This cut literally has no indication of "skating",the feet follow properly on the ground,jjk must've had scared yall😭😭

0:19 - 0:24 looks wonky af but overall its an insane cut

i am usually one to bitch about every little thing but this time i fully enjoyed it all, feels good to be on this side for once :)

What's there to complain about? Dudes literally running on intestines, of course it's going to be slippery. Awesome scene, everyone did amazingly!!

quite strange not to have the smears, which are his trademark more clearly, I wonder if he was corrected by AD...would love to know but let's talk about that 'surfing' which also became his trademark (0:21-0:26), be it wood or tentacles created by a curse (JJK), now gone in the arms of a demon...

It's fine when he is on the ground but 0:19-0:24 it looks really bad
He is floating in the air ,"intenstines being slippery" don't mean that he should start sliding in the air

No matter which DOP k1ro sliding will exist since it’s his style

K1R0 at his best. The running posture gave away it was by him and then the animation style with his timing and smears! Compositing is much clearer I must say. JJK 19 had almost the same choreography with this one at certain point but the background looked to iffy and erratic to follow the KA of him but this time it was really well done in my honest opinion.

That aside this cut was phenomenal. The dynamic movement and choreography are fantastic and do wonders at capturing just how DOWN FUCKING BAD Denji is to cop that feel. Particularly love the Devilman Crybaby-style running and character acting at the very start.

I thought I'm the only one who thinks that denji's crazy run looks similar to devil man cry baby.

I think the sliding makes the scene much better :)

That's fair. Tho I do think the small strides he takes make sense as he's trying not to fall off, denji should've been aligned properly with the background (easy fix) and shown to struggle with that run. Still the "worst part" lasts for 5 secs (the end looked kinda goofy tho)

Is the background at 0:26 CGI for one cut?

The animation itself is god-tier, it's the background composition that looks weird.

I love this man so much

The skating is just K1RO's style, denji even straight up slides around in some cuts.

K1RO Greatness

Watanabe, you are the best!!
