This is the best first year animation student work ... a real 8/10 effort.
Oh...

This is an actual 3DCG Anime ... and not a storyboard for a student made 3D animation. I'd give it slack if it were a draft version of the anime, which "leaked out"since there's some elements which could be changed. But it's "finished'

What a sham. My brain checked out 5 minutes into the "story", and revolted after the first "fight scene". Truly horrible. This is the caliber of what Arts Degree students make in 3-6 months to convince people your ideas "can" work... which is fine.

But you don't put this out as an actual show, people on YouTube have done better at home, i.e. check out Killer Bean by Jeff Lew. A single minute of Killer Bean, made well over 10 years ago, shatters this entire series into the dirt.

While Storyboarding is brilliant for help with editing, audio, designs of characters, colour matching, directing, camera angles and dialogue in 3D, eventually you take the storyboard as a draft... and you replace it with proper styled art, polished assets and customise the animation.

A team then works on each scene, to build a rigged animation model, with a developed face, eye and character motions, then paint on top of the 'blank' faces to give the character shades, tone and style, then blend the harsh CG into a series of tweaked and tweened movement and choreograph the fight scene movement to accelerate and decelerate motion of the background/camera to give the impression of momentum and movement.

None of this is present.

none of the polish, none of the idle animations or breathing, walking, eye movement is finished. Every single frame of this show is unfinished test footage, used to draft an actual show. Did they run out of time, money or did they hand this in as a finished product.
