Animation studios often use 3DCG animation to save on budget and make animations faster, but the results are not always positive and this animation technique is widely criticized by the community, the most recent example being the second part (2nd cour ) from the 2nd season of the anime series adaptation of the novel The Misfit of Demon King Academy (Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha) by Shu with illustrations by Yoshinori Shizuma.

The most recent episode of The Misfit of Demon King Academy is being widely criticized by anime fans thanks to a segment that features CGI-animated dragons.

The dragon models are extremely rigid and stand out too much from the other two-dimensional models, which makes them attract even more attention. Furthermore, the movements are very robotic and the movement pattern with very short cycles is quite noticeable. All of this attracted a multitude of negative comments.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy 2 will be stopped indefinitely

It is worth mentioning that this series is being produced by the studio SilverLink (Boufuri, Ange Vierge, Dusk maiden of Amnesia), under the production of Aniplex. Interestingly, the second season of “Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha” went through several suspensions due to production problems, but even this extra time was not enough to improve the final quality.

Online we can read reviews such as:

• It’s sad that a character as good as Anos is stuck in this series of…
• Aniplex showing that it is in complete decline.
• This is perhaps the worst animation I’ve seen since KamiKatsu.
• There’s no way this could have gone into post-production.
• At least Yozakura Family looks good and is also from SILVER LINK, it shows that they have priorities.
• Even better than Arifureta’s CGI.
• The first season is still one of my favorite shows of all time, it’s very sad to see this.
• I would like to see the comparison with the original manga, it must be crazy.
• Has the industry given up on CGI animation yet?
• Oh my god, is this a promotional video for Chainsaw Man?
• Are you really telling me this was approved by the director?
• It’s impressive that we got a second season with this, SILVER LINK finally ran out of budget.
