Nah as an overall, the animation line-art quality of Chevalier has been slowly dropping ever since the superb first episode.

LOL I didn’t even notice that…

That’s why everyone’s been saying that the animation has been dropping as of late. Meh, even with that one fault, it’s still a great series.

TJ: I actually think the story is quite interesting, or at least as far as I’ve seen it anyway.

kacpy: Sifness… pointy chin Shinobu ftw.

The rest of you: It’s not the colour… I have nothing against the colours. The faces in that second d’Eon pic just look absolutely terrible. That stuff is to be expected, but I really can’t accept having it happen so early on in the live span of a show. If it keeps going like this it’ll end up looking like it was drawn by a 3 years old.

Well I’m not convinced about it being cel-shaded but it does look computer-shaded.

not really sure, but it looks uncannily like cel-shading.

Is that really true cel-shading? I thought the true cel-shading is like the Appleseed movie.

Well, thats cel-shading for you. at different angles, the pics can look markedly different from one another.

anyways, i do believe i’ll still follow chevalier. chances are it may end up my fav series of the summer season.

facial expressions aside, it probably has one of the most beautiful art direction and backgrounds i’ve ever seen. and although this is a historical anime, the story still intrigues and it prob has some of the most deep character development in any anime i’ve ever seen.

but most importantly, androgyny rawks. ^___^

It’s not new to IG though, when they did GITS:SAC, the Major’s face was drawn quite differently in almost every episode. I remember seeing a picture that compiled at least 20 unique and different faces of her from the anime.

Clearly, they changed the color scheme to reflect the low light of the street at night. It’s not a mistake, and I found, watching the episodes, that it worked quite effectively to maintain the atmosphere of the setting.

Actually, I prefer the puni puni Shinobu… but that’s me…

Art is secondary.. but Chevalier is godly boring.

Then again, IG did GitS:SAC so they own.
