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.

A-1 is also an A tier studio imo. They have been making bangers for years now. Really excited about Fate/Strange Fake.
Yeah maybe I'm being a little harsh on them. I really feel like Darling in the FranXX really shows just how leagues apart they are from Trigger though because you can instantly spot the scenes and episodes directed by Trigger compared to A1 and it really shows them up. If Trigger made that whole show it would be enormously better.
A-1 upped their game in the last 5-6 years. Before that they had quality issues across shows. Now they mostly have production issues like with Nier.
They also take a lot of projects which makes gap between seasons too big. 86 suffers from it and Solo Leveling will too afaik because they don't have slots.
