If one asks for recommendations in a thread where anime aficionados post, the expectation is to get recommended series that they like. Casual stuff will be mentioned but the derision is bound to appear.
then someone needs to go watch Nodame.
Isn't all (or almost all?) realistic musical instrument playing animated through some degree of rotoscoping?
Still one of my favorite anime ever. I still have it's ( amazing ) ost on my phone.
It's troubling that someone would suggest this is unqiue and I want Carole and Tuesday apologists to know that they've gone too far. Additionally, technical accuracy is not inherently a sign of a well presented musical performance in the context of cinema. Carole and Tuesday uses tons of blocking and cutaways during its musical numbers without even accounting for how the character art seems to take on a particularly melted quality during the sequences.

I really liked this episode. It's a shame the animation production for this is such a mess, it's Watanabe's worst show visually. In fact outside of Soul Eater Not, this is BONES' worst looking show since the mid 2000s. They're dumping their efforts into the performances which is the right call but even those aren't as crisp as I would like them to be. I hope that the 2nd cour is split and they delay it to polish things. It's just so rough around the edges production-wise.
Also Thundercat sounds completely different from his Japanese VA. lol
Character animation being offmodel definitely could be fixed with more production time.
