So far that picture of Tenka is only from the next episode preview so I'm not gonna judge until the episode get's fully released, not to mention I saw a good expression of her when she was trying to feed shido (angry serious expressions and it suits her, and they also darkened her hair)
Agree, prefer earlier season artstyles, and its sad that every new season had New studio. I don't have anything against current studio tho, their artstyle while soft and more cutesy like some sort of slice of life is still enjoyable. I swear tho if season 5 has again New studio in charge of date a live.
The old style looks a lot better for Tenka. Makes her look scarier while the new - I don't know - makes her look squishy almost, not like someone who could end you in an instant.
Yeah we waited 6 months for nothing. The arts not bad. But there's no increase in quality, especially nowhere near good enough to justify a HALF A YEAR WAIT! It's just less detailed and more shiny. I have a life I didn't just wait but still, this is one of the 1st anime I'm going to stream online right when it comes out and talk about each episode online as it aired, so I was mad when I found out that the wait got extended by six months when the art from the 2nd trailer was slightly different but equal to the 1st trailer. Also did they change Tokha, Reine and Tammy's voice actors?
S1 artsyle was definitely the best one in my opinion, but the quality went to shit so much in S3 that the change we got in S4 feels really fresh to me.
The only thing I don’t like about the new art style is the eyes, they feel lifeless for some reason, as though they’re being mind controlled by Misaki Shokuhou.
I totally respect ppl that like the new art style. NOW, the art style from before is much better. It looks old but damn it looks nice
But the old art is better
More fitting for the action scenes
Yeah season 2 actually looks closer to LN illustration than the new art
S4 feels kinda soft, pretty much every anime is being plagued by that these days.
Like they did with high school DxD
My favorite art style is season one's, and nothing will change my mind
Totally agree👍
S4 art is based on noco's illustrations aka date a bullet. That means overall lighter colours. But it is still really cute.
so sad, tbh Tsunako art is better and full dynamism, no way to compare
Is it just me or does the old tenka artstyle has a more violent feeling
It does. The way she was drawn in S2 actually looked menacing like she was supposed to be. S4 looks a bit friendlier. Somehow
I prefer the new style, but I think eyes need to be reworked, old eyes are more vibrant, maybe they need more budget.

I love both artstyles regardless. But if I’m being honest, the first 3 seasons artwork was much better than season 4.
S2 art seems “mature” the new one is cute but I really miss the old one :(
it looks a bit bland
Am I the only one who is sad about the poor cgi rendering of mukoro and shiro in space?
no, i mentally throw up almost everytime i see cgi in anime with the exception of works done by ufotable and shaft
Same
Can't unsee
S4 looks cheerful wtf

Jes but in my opinion the first is the best
I was expecting more tbh, being hyped ASF for Tenka. Sigh.
She’s smiling to much tho

Am I the only one confused by the eyebrows in the fourth season? They are... kinda weird
left all the way but if u like the right thats fine but i like the left. just looks more how she should for what she is suppose to be.
They choose a poor shot, probably, and probably this will be slightly reworked in the blue ray version
I really like the new art style but I can't get over the old
Likewise, in my opinion, both have a good design and there is no such noticeable flaw other than quality, but I do prefer the one from season 2

Yep

Bruh that's like one literal frame
She looks so wonky in the new season lmao
I don't mind either way, but I wish that they would keep the art style consistent.
Honestly just kinda glad to have a season 4 art style to debate about
Animation wise it's hard choice buy I like season 4 more but story wise season 4 beats it with ease especially when next episode drops today
The art style in Season 4 is really good but Inverse Tohka feels better in Season 2.
i like the new art way more than the old one
