They made a few amazing shows before but this one has to be their best work so far.
It's worth keeping in mind that even highly reliable leaks can be wrong but it's hard not to get excited when hearing such good news.

Perhaps you want to prepare your heart for it first...
Well technically you're right (I think?), it was a still frame. Maybe I should title it differently. I just want to show how much effort is being put into even those still frames.
Obviously animated scenes are simpler but still, everything is very detailed and incredibly fluid.
Character expressions are... well very expressive and portray emotions very well, background art is also absolutely amazing creating that specific summer atmosphere...
In short: A1 studio is cooking with this series.
Edit: changed animation to production
For now no news about S2 is reassuring because the worst thing that could happen would be rushed 12 episode series by J.C. Staff... Let me just hope Madhouse is working on another masterpiece.
It still was done very well though. I can't wait to see what next seasons will have in store. I'm sure we'll get more chill and more fights and possibly something more.
It might be a hot take but I think that Bleach fillers while still shitty weren't that bad. Some of them were better than some non-filler Naruto arcs. But that's just my honest opinion
Honestly it felt like a completely different show from the second half. At first I kinda didn't like it but by the end of the series I thought it was still pretty good.
I guess the author didn't want the plot to go stale. I think it's a good choice. While I personally wouldn't mind the first half vibe to continue I think a lot of people would get bored of it.
The quality is at the movie level. The characters are also very likable. Can't wait for ep 2
When something is morally ok, no harm is being done but according to law is illegal, law probably should be changed.
While I don't have definitive proof I've seen both AI fanarts that are so good it's hard to tell if it's AI or not and AI abominations that are so bad and artificial it want to make you puke so I guess it really depends on the model.
Funny enough adobe now offers AI generated stock photos that are closer to those abominations rather than anything good. Though if you think about it AI stock art is so pointless... There are already so many stock photos you can choose from. Why would you go out of your way to choose a photo that looks almost the same as regular stock photos but people have 4 arms in it...
I imagine Nokotan calling Koshitan with math
