[Spoilers] The Sasuke scene in 326 sucked compared to the same scene in the previous opening

[Hebi Sasuke]

It is the best part of the episode for sure, for any Sasuke fan, but you can't deny the fact that the animation really sucked... It could've been much more better.

Maybe a more evil vibe or I don't know. We will se how they will animate that evil glare

I'm really looking forward to Sasuke's clash with the Zetsus.

And fight with Kabuto.

I can't wait for the Hokage revival and their speech to Sasuke tbh, but it isn't too realistic to believe that it'll be soon. =D

Agree...probably there will be a month or two of fillers again.

 

[UchihaKira]

Completely agree, I also didnt like how at the end when he jumped out of the base and sheathed his sword he was just kind of frozen in a walking stance. It looked like the manga page just colored to fit the anime when he shouldve actually been moving.

 

[scorezor]

always b*tching lol.

 

[Sabuto Hayashi]

I agree with you there. It really sucks when the episode is drawn bad, especially if you take a lot of screenshots when watching like I do.

At first, the scene didn't bother me too much. It was after his EMS was revealed that it seemed to become sloppy. His EMS from the opening was drawn much better, so I don't see why they didn't just reuse that part.
The other thing that caught my attention was when he was sheathing his sword. They drew his hand in a way that made his fingers look really fat in comparison to the hilt. I suppose they aren't used to drawing from such a weird angle, though.

The artwork and animation for that scene were absolutely atrocious. I've seen fan animation that's of better quality...

This was a big scene in the manga, they ruined it tbh.

Look at Sasuke's EMS Susanoo in the manga:

They ruined the design and took away the Enton blade and orb.

 

[MrDuck]

I agree about the Susano'o part, but I think the animation was just fine this episode. Also him revealing his EMS was fine to me.

1. The thing that pissed me off the most was Sasuke's Kagutsuchi no Tsurugi... No, there wasn't really Flame Control Sword... What the hell is wrong with the animators? Sasuke killed the White Zetsu WITH Flame Control Sword, not with Susanoo sword and Amaterasu..... They screwed the technique...

Agreed. I can't believe the animators made such a huge error...

2. WTF was Sasuke's move while he removed the bandages? It was like a fan-made animation, really!

Didn't find anything wrong with this.

3. And third, most important... They failed a lot with the EMS... It was SO broken!

Just take a look and make a comparison for yourselves:

Again, I didn't find anything wrong with Sasuke's EMS reveal. Even though I agree that the opening showed his EMS in a more intriguing and iniquitous way, you have to remember that the animators tend to exaggerate things in the opening to capture the audience's attention.

The sharigan does suck in the anime... looks like a flower and not like the "atom" sharigan...

Uhh... I really don't notice any difference.

You're right, this is one helluva difference. The Susanoo itself was absolutely ruined, not just the Kagutsuchi no Tsurugi. Let's just hope that they're going to fix it during Sasuke's fight with the White Zetsu clones.

The openings have always looked better than the actual episodes. Where have you been for the past 10 years?

They should've tried at least to make it better. It was nowhere near the opening scene's level, that's what I meant..

 

[DarkWolf Nashoba]

Uhh... I really don't notice any difference.

Really, PTran5?
The design of Sasuke's EMS eyes in episode 326 are far from resembling Lithium's atomic structure, as they usually do.

I realize that you're usually not overtly critical of the anime as a whole and that you appreciate its animation for what it is...
but this time, even I was moderately livid. The EMS reveal annihilated my expectations and then proceeded to urinate on them.

The remainder of the episode wasn't too much to complain about and actually quite enjoyable.
Those few seconds of seeing the inadequately drawn EMS did not, by any means, ruin the episode for me. I'm merely fairly disappointed.

I honestly do not know why you brought up the atomic structure of lithium as I cannot see any resemblance of it in Sasuke’s EMS. You can say the pupil represents the nucleus but where are the orbital levels/states that surround it? Perhaps you are talking about the three triangle-shaped structures that comes off from the pupil but even that does not portray a nice representation of the schematic model of lithium you posted above.

The design of Sasuke's original mangekyo sharingan made me think, "Dude, it's Lithium!" from the first moment I gazed upon his newfound countenance. Treating the nucleus as a singular point mass provides a pupil and eliminating the electrons gives vacant orbitals which form three concentric ellipses:

The design of Sasuke's eternal mangekyo sharingan retained all of the aspects exhibited by the original mangekyo sharingan except for the blackened pupil, which is inverted to red for the sake of the inclusion of Itachi's contribution to the EMS:

If any one individual doesn't see the resemblance of Sasuke's MS or EMS to Lithium, then that's merely a matter of perspective; there's nothing I can do to change that.

Individual viewpoints notwithstanding, it can still be surmised that the atomic model for lithium serves as a decent basis for visually constructing the major components of his EMS.

If you prefer, I can include a manner by which you could construct the major components by graphing them in a graphing calculator, plotting them via math software (like MATLAB or OCTAVE), or plugging the following equations into

x^2/2+y^2+xy=1; x^2/2+y^2-xy=1; y^2/5+x^2=1; x^2+y^2=1/25

But I digress.

The bottom line is that Sasuke's EMS is designed to have three intersecting concentric ellipses with slightly pointed tips about the semi-major axes. In the recent episode, the lines that trace out the ellipses were nearly left out altogether with only the intersecting portions (the triangular-ish bits) maintaining a presence.

In essence, the image of Sasuke's EMS in episode 326 left out what I consider to be the greatest defining trait of the intended design.

Basically this. His Susano'o looked as if an elementary schooler did the artwork.
