i started thinking about why i didn't watch dvds very often back in the day and the honest answer is that i was too lazy to get up off the couch to get the disc 💀

Actually sighing coming up with things to say about this. Your cast are the same obviously, composer and sound director as well - we kept Asaka but not Eri Sasaki, but that sort of change doesn't really matter I'd say. All of the producers have been here before, although the number of them was cut in half. And then everything else is different. Your studio is the big easy one to point to, alongside your director. Different character designer, art director, colour designer, series composition, director of photography, background artists, the works. But that's not a bad thing, right. Like, even for fairly prolific series you see studio changes all the time, core staff changes a little less frequently but it still happens. And like it doesn't have to be a bad thing - sometimes a show will even look and feel better once its in someone else's hands. The problem here is...
What the fuck is this? This looks really bad. It's distractingly ugly. There's always been a contrast between Yuru Camp's quite realistic backgrounds and simplistic character designs but the former had enough of a painterly overlay to where everything harmonised and the whole thing looked pretty great! We're not getting that here. The characters and the objects in motion just look like they're imposed over real photography. Or alternatively you have something like the first and third shot there where every element clearly exists on separate layers with separate rendering detail and so the entire image looks really bad, like that composition is downright amateur, right? This hurts me to look at.
And like, look. This isn't the majority of the season so far. Most shots look fine. Not good, nowhere close to what was on offer before (even bearing in mind shit like the visible google maps logo in the second season), but they look fine. I don't like the character designs quite as much but I can get used to them just fine and they animate well enough. I still have many of my favourite seiyuu giving many of their most pleasant sounding performances. Yumiri Hanamori in particular I don't get enough of her in my usual anime-watching life, especially doing the Nadeshiko voice. Akiyuki Tateyama is still giving us one of the most relaxing anime soundtracks I've ever heard, but with enough going on to where I can actually listen to them in most moods. And more than anything else it's still Yuru Camp. I'm still getting to see a bunch of cute girls I like go camping and enjoy nature and be sweet and lovely. I'm still expecting to come home after a stressful day and put on Yuru Camp and just completely decompress. I'm still going to enjoy this.
But fuck me man if visuals like this aren't gonna just keep distracting me for the rest of the runtime.

Heya! I was wondering if y'all found an English sub version of Monkey (1978)/Saiyuki?
Edit: also it baffles me to see some watchers of the show praise the dub for tryna be "authentic"? Lmao no????
