I see what u mean about not using the full potential of an adaptation by sticking so close to the source material, but I like that it's KyoAni trying something completely different after basically perfecting digital rendering in anime. If I wanted to watch another show with ultra detailed backgrounds and amazing looking blooms I have their entire back catalog to choose from, so I respect how bold of a choice this was.

Oh yeah I definitely agree that attempting a project like this at all is impressive. The thing with Nichijou is it was extremely simplistic while still retaining a very high level of detail to the backgrounds and character art. For me these backgrounds are just kind of worse in every regard since Nichijou would even lean into simple backgrounds like this occasionally too, but it never felt jarring to switch. The issue is that from how CITY looks right now, it will feel very weird to switch away from it and doesn't have an artstyle that allows for the same amount of artistic freedom that Nichijou had. Nichijou *could* use a lot of post-processing if it wanted to like bloom but in CITY it's like way more restricted. Hopefully I'm wrong once it airs but it doesn't help that we live in a anti-effort background art society now where it's all shabby sterile composited garbage so seeing backgrounds here (which are not bad at all I wanna make that clear) that aren't as stunning as honestly anything else KyoAni has made is kind of sad.

I noticed that all of the people/objects that have the thicker line art are the focal points of the scene (ie: the scene with wako taking a picture of the mushroom both of them have thicker outlines than their surroundings) I think this is done to try and make it easier for the view to know what they need to pay attention to in a scene all while keeping the background a big part of the setting and not just a generic backdrop because the city they live in is just as important as the characters (idk if what I'm saying makes sense and if it doesn't im sorry dad :( )

That's actually a good point I didn't even realize depth of field just does not really exist in this anime

I was worried too but after watching the first few episodes, I think it all actually works really well in the show proper. I don't really know what's different, maybe it's just getting used to the style? But it all feels great in the episodes out so far I thinks
