I really meant emphasis on generic not the anime part.
Like the characters all look like any generic isekai cast on some 3d mapped backgrounds from scans from the movie miniatures.
Its got a feeling of cheap and passionless like some rich guy just paid for an anime adaptation cause anime is currently popular.
I dunno maybe I'm reading into it but my hype went way down.
Traditionally speaking, anime looks the way it does because funding for animation in Japan was tiny, so they cut corners wherever they could. Character designs were cut and pasted, backgrounds were static, lip syncing was out of the question, and frame rates were kept low.
I guess, now that there's more money for it, and updates technology allows for them to get around many of those early restrictions, they keep doing that stuff, just because, I guess.
Those tropes are so ingrained in anime, I believe that if we stopped, it wouldn't feel "right".
In theory. The truth is anime studios are infamous for overworking and underpaying their enployees, in fact Japan in general doesn't have very good labor laws. Nothing much has changed on that front. Unless it's a big name studio like Ghibli or Ufotable, the anime industry will always cut corners to get new episodes out as fast as possible.
