Honestly I too would rather they just pick one style and stick with it. If that's the new style then so be it, it's probably for the best anyway and it really doesn't look all that bad at all, it's just not the best there is out there and nobody ever said they had to be the best.....okay well they did but you get what I'm saying right?  |
I disagree with you here. Many people see a mix between newer style and classic Haruhi style with this latest episode... and I really don't. This latest episode is pretty much classic 2006 Haruhi with the exception of lost of line definition from time-to-time. This
is the classic style, and I'm very happy to see it back.
For anybody who thinks that episode 12 still has a lot of the newer style in it... can you pick out a scene or two in the episode where it stands out to you? Because... I'm not seeing it. Not at all.
In any event, if this is a mix between newer style and classic Haruhi style, I'll take this
any day over the newer style alone. It's far
far better than the newer style alone, as it pertains to what suits this anime.
Also, Kaioshin... why do you think it would be "for the best" to go exclusively with the newer style? What's wrong with the Haruhi 2006 style? I think that it would be for the best to go with a style as close to 2006 Haruhi as possible.
Do you want all of KyoAni's titles to have more or less the same new style for their artwork? Wouldn't that cause
all of their titles to seem less distinctive from one another, and hence for the art style overall to appear dull and overly common, over time?
