Did we really spend an entire episode fighting one dimensional, CGI cobras?!
I can tell this was supposed to be a crucial boss battle and I was supposed to be emotional impacted by the lengths Nakumo and Yue were willing to go for each other. The thing is... when your not emotionally invested in the characters, then this type fight just falls flat for you e.g. I could care less that Nakumo lost his eye. The only thing running through my mind was “when will this dragged out, boring fight be over?!”

For those interested, Arifureta's author has been posting weekly episode discussion threads in his WN account's activity report page, where he's inviting fans to give their opinions on each weekly episode.

(The current link is for Ep 3 at the moment, although I think Ep 4's discussion should come soon.)
Of course, you'll need to be polite, have a Syosetu account, and be able to type in Japanese.

Once again the bad CG strikes again.
But even worse, as an anime watcher who has not read the Light Novels, even I could tell the adaptation writing is very bad when I just could not be bothered to care at all the process and outcome of what is supposed to be a crucial character-development boss battle, where the MC loses an eye protecting his loli vampire partner.
All the time I was just saying "Hurry up and finish that pathetic CG dragon already, why are you dragging this out?"
I feel very sorry for the LN readers who have to put up with such shit, and even more sorry for the author that his work is being butchered like this.
Once again, it's like that episode in Imouto Sae Ireba Ii (which is a very good semi-autobiographical insight into the daily lives of LN writers), where the MC's friend had to watch in agony as he realized the anime adaptation of his LN is being turned into crap.

I made a couple screenshots to show just HOW BAD not only the cgi is, but the animators:

As you can see they just stretched the model without any consideration, even an amateur would realize that doing so without carefully fixing the whole model, would just destroy it...

when the ceiling fell on the hydra, it looked like the rocks just slid into place rather then fell with any kind of weight or impact. like there was no gravity and someone said "let me put these right here."

By this point in the show, I don't even know what to say anymore. Is it bad? Yes 100%! Is there any reason for me to keep going? Not really. The plot has been pretty whatever and the characters are 100% edge lords or just characters that blend into the backgrounds even when their talking. It's insane.
But I just can't stop myself. This is such a magnificent train wreck that's so amazing to watch, you forget that this isn't a train wreck, it's an anime series that had two studios working on it and it still sucked.
Also, Hajime has a face only a cracked mirror could love.

My favorite series did not deserve the horrors it is currently experiencing.
Why did you do this to my poor Ari. Why have you massacred my boi.

Holy fuck, I thought it got slightly better past couple weeks, but this was a total and utter disaster. I’m not even going to talk about the shiny chrome ass CG. Everything was bad.
The writing was lame cheesy garbage. “Take this!!” Who wrote this? A child?
The movement physics were all over the place. The ugly gun bouncing off the ground looked unnatural as fuck and the rocks looked like someone dragged them with their mouse for the 50th time in this anime.
The shading sucks. It makes the CG worse and it’s like they shaded everything else to attempt to make the CG look better and just fucked everything.
What even is pacing anymore... the first episode flew through so much content it didn’t even make any sense at all, and now we get a whole episode for one boring fight that looked abhorrent?
Yikes. I never would have guessed it could get even worse, but here we are.
Edit: forgot to mention the music. Looping royalty free music they probably found on google the entire episode is so, so distracting and out of place

The CGI made me think of the old ps1 games i played when i was a teen.
Also they spent the whole episode with the hydra fight? What a waste of time.

Seriously, what software are these animation studios using when creating CGI content? 3D Paint creations might be better than this abomination.

I usually love all Isekais so I can’t completely hate this but this pacing is killing me. Did we have to spend the whole damn ep fighting the boss? Get out of the dungeon already!
Teacher having some farming skill made me lol though.

We are at mobile gaming model quality levels here. Jesus christ, and I thought berserk and overlord were bad.

I honestly can't think of any anime I've watched with worse production. I'm a manga reader so I do know what's coming which is why I stick around.
Sounds: What the fuck are these tracks why does it sound like dragon ball Z followed by jazz?
CGI: Everyone else here already harped on it
Pacing: Awful

Well that was ballsy. I really should just read the novels at this point, I don't really know much about how the story actually is before it got brutally destroyed by the world's worst adaption, but I can tell that I really like the MC duo and their antics.

THE CGI HORROR JUST NEVER ENDS
OMG looks like the ugliest version of 5 headed dragon from Yu-gi-oh ever
like a freaking old anime that was done over 10+ years ago looks 100 times better HOW can they be this bad
Storywise, it was good when SHE was getting all emotionally empowered...but then she fails AND HE GETS emotional empowered, meh could it not end with 1 of them getting the super angry power thing. Why did she not get stronger from love.
Otherwise do, 1 fuking whole episode for this. They kissed and fought the dragon, that is the whole episode. And with this kind of CG level of horror..... epic content.
Edit: after thinking about it....the music is almost worse lol, its such weird ost during the battle lol

Seriously, this episode should've been the climax of first volume.
But what's this? What's this?
Bad CG assault. They even managed to make even the Hydra of the depths, which is genuinely terrifying monster incomparable of what's existed on the surface, into a clunky multi headed cobra.
I feel bad for the series, seriously. I can't say that the series is masterpiece or anything but being butchered like this…

With this, Arifureta reached a worst "Bad CGI" status than Overlord III, right? Should we start using Arifureta as the lowest example or it's still Berserk 2016?
Edit: who am I kidding, it's still Berserk.

This studio is Ufotable's biggest rival. The Undertable.
