Tall-face!
Im not talking about style. Misaligning eyes and tall foreheads are not stylistic choices, they are mistakes in this case.
One piece 544- am sure at this point the ocean in one piece is made up of manly tears
I like the whole soft water colour look this arc is going for in order to match oda vision in one of the FI arc artwork.
each arc has it's own look
I love this about most shounens they take you way from those blahh highschool setting or the nothingness of space and take you to these imaginative and interesting settings.

is it me or does this area also remind of legend of zelda skyward sword water temple/ water dragons lair

Once again, that scene is something that came straight from the creators of the anime, not the manga. Most of the scenes that they've inserted, or rearranged, allow the show to focus on the the normal day to day activities of the protagonist and his family. This careful approach to characterisation and tone seem drastically at odds with the fanservice stuff, which seems to have come from another show entirely.

I would think they just don't really care anymore and go with a style of sorts. I mean you have things like Madoka for example that obviously makes no sense proportion wise but is probably an intentional choice since it does so consistently.

You overestimate the quality of working conditions in animation studios. I doubt you'd be able to say "It's so easy!" if you were one of the unfortunate grunt workers slaving away.
That's rather gorgeous. Also, it DOES look like the Water Dragon lair in Zelda skyward Sword! the artwork in that game is amazing.

Haha. What if it was a high school set in a fantasy world?
Palette instantly reminded me of Okami's Dragon Palace.
I don't overestimate anything. Aligning the eyes should be something any professional animator can do consistently. Unless they simply don't give a shit.

To be honest, they've always looked kind of bad.
well that's not very imaginative or interesting now is it, your still trapped in that tiny highschool box now it's just got decorations around it.
Saint Seiya Omega 3
So
So
are they ever going to address the reason that female Saints gotta wear masks? Cause I see no logical reason for such an arbitrary rule.
I was under the impression that all Saints follow the natural elements plus light and dark, but from this episode, I'm guessing there are other Saints that don't? So like does each Saint get his own gimmick or something and the chosen ones are the ones that follow the elements?

huh your right, sadly am horrible human being that hasn't bought 3 copies of okamai in every region on day 1 or hasn't even played it.
It has anime girls.
The only reason I'm watching it is for character designs. Other than that, I have no problem telling people to stay away from it.

Well, at least the One Piece characters are all adults now!
It's just another four girl angst show. I suppose the "hook" is that one of them is moving soon, so it's supposed to be all :firehawk because it's their last summer together.
And, of course, since it's their last summer together, little miracles start to happen.

When you're underpaid and overworked, I imagine it's hard to retain a commitment to quality.
They dealt with that in that very episode.
It's sexism. Similar to the head coverings that some religious sects mandate, women are supposed to wear masks for reasons of modesty.
That does sound generic/boring.
hmm...how old does a reindeer have to be become an adult or do we count him in human years hmm..
It doesn't have one at all. It's about four girls who have always been friends and are about to get separated because one of them is going away.
Oh, and there's
a rock that grants wishes.

Yep. I suppose people compared it to HanaIro because one of the girls' family owns an inn.
But Hana Iro had Ohana sexhair, Minchi, bitchslapping grandmother, bondage, and DAT OP. Natsuiro has none of these things.

Finally we get an actual good character design. Takumu was pretty stunning and really I was rather impressed by him the entire episode. The sheer emotional tension driving him and Haruyuki
. Takumu's english was great and best combat avy.
On the ending stuff

then the lead in to Haruyuki doing the amazing. Then to most importantly getting Takumu on his side and restoring the bonds of a broken friendship. I was pretty glad. I think they handled it quite well and with Takumu actually having all of the character traits that are lacking in Haruyuki, I think I can really actually enjoy this anime to the fullest now
On the ending stuff
how in the world did Kuroyukihime get the best of the duel avatars. Wow, apart from no wings it is stunning. I wish we got models as that Black Lotus and Silver Crow would be the ones that I wouldnt mind trying to pick up. I cant wait to see her special move.

There's magic involved. That, and the relationship-drama stuff, are the main hooks. It's good, really... not great, but good.

Apparently the mask thing came about because the author of original Saint Seiya needed an excuse to not show a certain character's face.
And the element stuff is still pretty vague. There was never any defined affinity in other iterations of the franchise. It was just always self-explanatory stuff (like Phoenix Ikki will obviously have attacks with fire).

I hope it has a Tokyo arc! Or maybe it'll be like Fractale!
The future of anime!
I'm sure they've mined that setting, actually.
We already have space high schools after all.
Many times it is something they can do, but you have already said how things are:
Many in-betweeners, outsider of the animation studio in charge of production and normally working on studios that handle outsourced tasks, are temporary workers paid a misery on a per-drawing basis, so they have to be fast enough to accumulate a big quota if they want to live. At that point I don't think they care too much for so-so character body/model proportions, and usually their work is going to end up being corrected anyway, so there is a leeway on their responsibilities.

Why the long face Nya?
We need to go wider, Philips 21:9 TV style:
I demand Code Geass R2 impressions!

If all goes according to plan, this weekend you shall have!
Yeah. He needed to hide Marin's face because he wanted to imply
that she was Seiya's long lost sister. Marin and his sister had the same age, the same birth place, the same height, and even the same birthday. In the end, though, they were different persons.
