I read the comic, and started watching The Legend of Vox Machina. Every time I try watching Invincible, I just stare blankly at how shit poor the animation is. If they kept the budget, then slashed the run time in half I think the show would have been much, much better. There would be less of a wait between seasons, the animation quality would be better, and the pacing of the show would feel much more justified. I would honestly rather wait for 16 seasons with better quality than to have this piss poor release schedule for 8 at the current rate that the show is moving at. As someone that is in college, working my way towards the animation industry, it’s really depressing to see such an incredible story be told in a style this lazy.
It kinda feels like they’re doing a reverse of what anime does. Instead of making filler so the source material can catch up, they’re cutting filler from the already finished material.
Yup, I think Kirkman even said he’s been able to “trim the fat” for the show IIRC
