PSA: The animation quality dip from episode 4 to episode 5 in that new mecha show...
I binged the first 4 episodes of MechWarriors Reborn last night and the animation was gorgeous, like movie quality. Then I got to episode 5 today and it looked like a fan sub from 2006, with stiff movements and flat colors. I checked the credits and they switched studios between episodes, from Studio Bones to a smaller studio called DArt that's known for budget work. Has anyone else noticed this bait and switch with streaming shows lately?

My buddy Mike said episode 5 looked like it was drawn by interns on lunch break lol.

@terry_hayes18 did his buddy Mike actually watch it, or just look at screenshots?

Man that "interns on lunch break" line from your friend Mike is brutal but honestly pretty accurate. I had the exact same whiplash going from those first four episodes to episode 5. The colors looked washed out and the mech movements felt like they were running at half the framerate compared to before. I've been burned by this studio switch thing on at least three other shows this year, it's getting harder to trust which episodes are actually going to look good.
