10 Popular Anime That Totally Failed Due to Poor and Inconsistent Animation

KEMONO FRIENDS SEASON 2: The success of the first season of KEMONO FRIENDS brought high hopes for the continuation of its story. However, the change in the production team turned out to be disastrous. The second season lost the visual appeal and warmth that made the series special. Although the story is still light-hearted, the animation feels far from the previous standards.

HELCK: HELCK tries to blend humor and action into one package. However, the end result is unbalanced due to unstable animation. The image quality often changes between scenes, and excessive CGI effects disrupt the viewer's immersion. Many emotional moments lose their impact due to inconsistent visuals.

THE BEGINNING AFTER THE END: Based on a popular webtoon, THE BEGINNING AFTER THE END has a vast world and interesting characters. Unfortunately, the anime adaptation feels flat. The simple character models and monotonous movements make this reincarnation story lose its emotional depth. The grand narrative gets drowned behind a production that seems rushed.

RECORD OF RAGNAROK: With a concept of duels between gods and legendary humans, RECORD OF RAGNAROK should have been spectacular. However, the final result is disappointing due to too many static scenes. Instead of epic battles, viewers are presented with something resembling a slideshow. All epic potential is lost because of the minimal movement in the animation.

BLUE LOCK SEASON 2: This soccer-themed anime became a phenomenon due to its unique competitive idea. However, in the second season, many viewers complained about the inconsistent visuals. The players' movements on the field appear stiff, and excessive CGI causes the matches to lose intensity. In fact, the story of BLUE LOCK has potential as great as HAIKYUU!!.

UZUMAKI: UZUMAKI is one of the most iconic horror mangas of all time. However, the anime version fails to capture the chilling atmosphere characteristic of Junji Ito. Production delays and visual inconsistencies make the story feel flat. Instead of being haunting, the animation makes the spiral curse seem ordinary.

JUNJI ITO COLLECTION: The adaptation of the horror maestro JUNJI ITO should have presented captivating visual nightmares. However, JUNJI ITO COLLECTION has instead become a subject of jokes among fans. The characters look strange, and the "scary" effects appear stiff. Instead of creating tension, the animation makes the audience laugh.

ONE-PUNCH MAN SEASON 2: The first season of One-Punch Man amazed the world with stunning animation from studio Madhouse. However, the studio change in the second season drastically reduced its quality. The once energetic fights now seem flat and have lost their characteristic speed. Saitama remains funny, but the visuals are no longer as strong as his punches.

KINGDOM: KINGDOM is known as an extraordinary historical manga with grand narration and epic battles. Unfortunately, the anime adaptation relies too much on stiff CGI. Character movements feel awkward and lack emotional dynamics. Fortunately, the following seasons began to improve the animation quality after sharp criticism from viewers.

BERSERK: After two decades of waiting, fans of BERSERK had high hopes for the 2016 anime version. However, the result turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments in the modern anime world. The stiff CGI animation, unnatural movements, and strange camera angles made the dark world of Guts feel bland. In contrast, the manga version by Kentaro Miura is known for its detail and brutality.
