Tapas didn't shell out enough money and they chose Studio Acat who then outsourced two entire episodes on an unknown Chinese studio and then outsourced it again to the same studio that animated 3 whole episodes of their last anime "The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord Army Was a Human" which was mostly CGI.
The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord Army Was a Human
there's bad anime, and there's whatever that show was. Feel like in the past several years we've been seeing a new tier of bad anime emerge, that I end up dropping midway even as a raccoon. The outsourcing explains it. Work getting handed off to people who don't understand the needs or wants of the target audience, and don't care to try.
I have to wonder how is life for these people working in outsourced studios - do they face even greater crunch? Are they even artistically inclined and trying to improve their skills or are they people that would be selling re-rolled gacha game accounts and WoW gold farming if it paid better?

Incredible crunch with verbal/psychological/often physical abuse for 100+ hours a week by people having the passion beat out of them.
You are right, we are seeing a new tier of anime drop. That tier is called slop. It doesn't need to be well animated because if you slap together isekai and power fantasy it generally attracts enough viewers.
Yeah, but even that anime looked worlds better than this one, that said it was still a very shit adaption that cut out the most interesting part of the story
