Holy shit can't believe what has happened to this franchise after the phenomenal season 1.
The manga has more animation than the fucking anime. It's crazy out there.

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Part of it literally just the skills of the studios and random events. Not every anime can be produced by the cream of the crop studios, and studios have to bid for the right to adapt shows.
JC staff in particular are not known for sakuga type animation. They are known making mid tier adaptions and butchering the source material.
I wanted to call this unfair because the JC Staff stuff I've personally seen has almost always been good enough to finish, but looking back on it I can only really call Azumanga Daioh a favorite, and the rest has been... Yeah, middle-tier, but not necessarily "butchering", right?
From a strictly animation perspective JC Staff are middle-tier as well, but mid-tier animation is perfectly serviceable for certain genres, just not OPM.
The best thing JC Staff ever made was the konosuba movie and the fact that they butchered small parts of it actually improves konosuba because it's just the kind of show where you can make something really shitty and have the characters themselves fourth wall break about how shitty it is and the audience will laugh at that. It can get away with being a hot mess in places because the characters are all a hot mess.
Is that the "best thing" in the sense of specifically the best animation quality, or just best in all aspects overall? Because if it's best in all aspects overall, I'm surprised that's your pick.
Execution
Is basically to say all aspects overall, right? Though to be honest it took me a minute after seeing this comment before I realized you were saying "best thing in the sense of the execution of the work" instead of "I sentence Erika3sis to death by execution for writing this comment" — don't ask me why my brain went with that as the first interpretation, it's 4 AM and I just suddenly saw the word "execution" in my inbox with no context lol
It's because that sounds like a totally normal thing to see on hexbear.
See it's funny because this is a screencap from a JC Staff show
"Butchering" might be too harsh because they don't do that all the time. But I've seen it happen a few times and got annoyed with it.
