Many works nowadays try to manufacture skin-deep nostalgia, but by naturally evoking it, Ousama Ranking can afford to combine that authentic old-school flavor with many innovative modern techniques…

i've seen time and time again that people either love gosso's style and think that his departure's gonna end the world, or think that his style is the reincarnation of the devil and him leaving will save the anime. after thinking about it for a little bit, i think i can pretty clearly see why this is the case. gosso's direction results in the highest highs but also the lowest lows. while i am personally a fan of the way the artstyle is simplified in s2 & s3 and i love the way lighting was used especially in s3, when the visuals are bad, they are... really, really bad.
the simpler artstyle & frames are supposed to make sure the animators can focus more on, well, the actual animation, which worked beautifully for naoya vs choso. but here the animation isn't even... good. like the motions are stiff and awkward so all of this simplification was for nothing and the scene just looks like ass. whatever deadline this animator was given must have been absolutely ridiculous...
of course, there's also gosso's creative liberties. the theatre fight was pretty cool and this shot is absolutely beautiful:
but i'm not gonna pretend that i'm not upset about the car punch being removed in the anime. if i read the manga first i would probably be mad ASF about this!!!
i was gonna talk about the music direction in episode 4 but i don't think gosso actually directs the music? i don't really have much to say about it even though i generally really love jjk's score.
Gosso is directing the new JJK??
