Yo, why is Nezha's dad trying to bring him back home to work at his business after he discovered his son dropped out of college to perform in community theater with all of his high school friends??
STOP SUFFOCATING YOUR SON'S CREATIVITY MAN, ITS NOT GOOD FOR HIS WELL BEING
Friendly reminder that the Season 5 animation is the result of a very sudden studio change!! It was likely rushed and they didn't have the time or resources to properly prepare for it.
Once Flying Bark is available they might pick up working on LMK full time again, or it could be passed on to the new team permanently - but once this new studio has more time to adjust to animating LMK, the quality will inevitably improve. It even took Flying Bark quite a while to get the LMK style we're used to cemented. It's all just part of the process.
These things happen, and it sucks, but at the end of the day we're still getting the season. An animation change isn't worth dropping the show over. The trailer gave us so much cool stuff to look forward to, and there's plenty more that hasn't even been shown yet. The VAs have been hyping this season up for good reason.
The best thing to do is accept the change, find the positives, and enjoy the ride. Don't let the animation change ruin what otherwise looks like a very promising season.
there's a delicate balance between "seeing something on my dash so often i end up caring about it unexpectedly" and "seeing something on my dash so often that it gets added to the blocked list with extreme prejudice"
malevolent is objectively more impactful when you interpret john and arthur as non-romantic. i would feel less emotions about them if they were dating. i would care about them less if they were romantic. alright? alright.
