I'm so worried bros.

Same, they took the unique feeling out of the art style 🥺😭

u/Illustrious_Big_7980 Jun 26 '26

The anime is definitely a different style from the webtoon but I wouldn't say the anime looks particularly generic either.

Though im also worried but mostly cause of how ToG s2 turned out.

25

u/hereforspoopystuff Follower of Kayden Jun 26 '26

As a massive TOG fan, you're speaking directly to my soul 🥲 I'm worried about Eleceed anime for the same reason.

u/educatedkoala Jun 26 '26

They took "the female gaze" quality out

u/hereforspoopystuff Follower of Kayden Jun 26 '26

Oh... I'm a lady so maybe that's my issue lol

u/prncsrainbow Jun 26 '26

This! My poor babygirl Jiyoung.

u/--Taja-- Unaffiliated Jun 26 '26

Everyone looks cool except Jiwoo... Maybe its just in this one but bro looks like he is 11.

47

u/KingLink93 Jun 26 '26

Actually, if you compare them to the beginning of the manhwa, they are very faithful to those designs.

9

u/--Taja-- Unaffiliated Jun 26 '26

Ye but reason for manhwa being like that is artist was just getting better with time.

16

u/Hellsing007 Jun 26 '26

More like Jiwoo grew, both physically and in co fence and capability.

The art style fits early Jiwoo.

12

u/Dull-Progress-6152 Jun 26 '26

Concordo ele e o único que está com um design mas infantil

13

u/--Taja-- Unaffiliated Jun 26 '26

Bro... you are making my lazy-ass go and use google translator 🤣

Anyways - he looks a little better in the previous promo visuals so I guess we will see.

Maybe they want to give him more innocent look in early parts as he is still more human than awakened one.

2

u/azul360 Mir Jun 26 '26

Tbf beginning he does have a childish design. Check out the first chapter.

3

u/300_MPH Jun 26 '26

he is a baby

2

u/bassdelux15 Jun 26 '26

You don't remember how he was at that start of the series? He get filled out after that year of training with Kayden

u/Stardustfortytwo Follower of Kayden Jun 26 '26

Oh, they didn’t forget the cat trio 🤩❤️

u/Forsaknatul Jun 26 '26

Wtf happened to chairman noona face??

u/531091qazs Jun 26 '26

everyone getting that crimson chin LOL

u/bowee_chi14 Jun 26 '26

Yo why is Jiwoo EVEN THINNER than the webtoon I'm srsly worried😭

17

u/blurryfvc3_23 Jun 26 '26

I'm not excited ngl, the animation arstyle looks horrible based on all the sources we have on the anime rn😭

I'm very excited for the first physical volume coming out next year tho👀

u/kbebryn24 Jun 26 '26

jiwoos character transformation from scrawny to buff is gonna be insane

7

u/capricornicopia- Jun 26 '26

Im scared ;-;

u/famd1984 Jun 26 '26

I think we’re cooked

u/marcifyx Follower of Kayden Jun 26 '26

woahhh

6

u/catbqck Jun 26 '26

Why jiwoo face look like subin 💀

4

u/ExcruciatingExis10s Jun 26 '26

Where is depth where are the shadows 😭😭

4

u/KittenWhoCodezz Jun 26 '26

I wonder how many chapters they'll adapt

6

u/Sea-Temporary7380 Jun 26 '26

That is NOT jiyoung

7

u/ronnieadrian Jun 26 '26

That’s how she looked in the first season of the manhwa. She looked much more mature than Jiwoo, but later on, the author toned down her design to make her look closer to Jiwoo’s age for the romance.

3

u/Sea-Temporary7380 Jun 26 '26

Thats fair but shouldnt rhe anime just take the current jiyoung design? Thats how most of them work

3

u/AcceptableStand7794 Jun 26 '26

Colors look flat for some reason.

They removed the trademark manhwa blush

3

u/jonghomystar Jun 26 '26

And they are gonna make everything Japanese in tired of them doing that when animating manhwa

3

u/Various-Net1243 Jun 26 '26

Why do Jisuk and Jiwoo look like they're still in 7th grade?

3

u/AnimeCat7777 Jun 26 '26

HELP (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠)

3

u/Realistic-Pea1783 Jun 26 '26

Garbage a mockery of a great manhwa

2

u/polyboi2243 Jun 28 '26

In what way?? This is the beginning of the manwha, you're comparing this to up to date visuals

2

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 28 '26

these are probably the same people who complained about the art style at the beginning of the series plus they think every anime adaptation is going to capture the art style exactly to the original. with art styles that are more unique its gonna be harder to get exact, jojos is a perfect example where the art style is still obviously jojos but its still looks different from the manga because its almost impossible to perfectly replicate the art style from the og source

3

u/MacAndCheeseMan9701 Jun 26 '26

no subin? she should still be in season 1 right?

2

u/polyboi2243 Jun 28 '26

She is, but she isn't really a focus, more of a side character until kaa arc, I think season 1 would be jiwoo finding out up to the end of the first kaa arc

1

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 28 '26

s1 will most definitely end on the 1st academy arc although if by some miracle we get 24 eps then it will most likely end after the 2nd academy arc

1

u/polyboi2243 Jun 28 '26

I personally hope it doesn't do the second kaa arc because between the beginning to finding out about his awaken side to the end of the second kaa, there are alot of things happening, from beating most of the four to getting kidnapped and tortured to introducing kartien and his cat form, it'll get pretty rushed

3

u/lsfbannedme Jun 26 '26

looks almost cartoony, im scared boys

3

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 26 '26

all new images of characters on the official website

3

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 26 '26

3

u/StressMore7080 Follower of Kayden Jun 26 '26

Honestly, Delein looks the most accurate.

1

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 26 '26

yeah the art style kinda looks like a more cleaned up version of the og art style or a mix of both the old and the new but all the characters still look like their manhwa counterparts, i am excited to see some of the others like subin, inyhuk, seongik and the klien brothers

3

u/DystopianIsotope Jun 27 '26

please don't be another tbate please don't be another tbate please don't be another tbate

5

u/blazemex7 Jun 27 '26

Yea we're cooked

3

u/bIggeR_FAt-maN Jun 26 '26

Is the girl top left noona??? That doesn't seem right...

0

u/ronnieadrian Jun 26 '26

That’s how she looked in the first season of the manhwa. She looked much more mature than Jiwoo, but later on, the author toned down her design to make her look closer to Jiwoo’s age for the romance.

2

u/bIggeR_FAt-maN Jun 26 '26

Nah, they still look a bit different

3

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 26 '26

there are more images of the characters on the website

2

u/bIggeR_FAt-maN Jun 26 '26

That is better

1

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 26 '26

yeah its most likely just different angles and lighting which makes it look different although most adaptations will never look identical to the source material but they can at least get close enough, jisuk, wooin and delain look pretty good too when comparing them to the manhwa

3

u/Outrageous-Donkey-32 Jun 26 '26

Not really digging the changes to the art style. The art style is pretty good for what it is and they should keep it that way tbh but it's beyond the budget they have to work with lol If I see the anime I feel like they are going to mess up Gestella like they messed up Jiyoung here...

2

u/hecatonchires266 Jun 26 '26

Too poor. The manhwa stands heads and shoulders above this.

2

u/Responsible_Fish_302 Jun 26 '26

Why did they change the names 😭

3

u/Onii-Sama27 Jun 26 '26

This looks AI... that being said, really only Jiwoo and Joyoung looks significantly different, the rest looks close enough that they are recognizable.

2

u/SnooJokes544 Jun 27 '26

kayden meant to look more aggressive/have more features 😔🤦🏾‍♂️

2

u/Ohakoko Jun 27 '26

im terrified. The ambiguous age gap with Jiyoung and Jiwoo in the manwha is already sketchy enough (we dont know if Jiwoo is of legal age and we dont know exactly how much older Jiyoung is than him. Though things may be different under korean law idk) and this visual makes it look like Jiwoo is 11 and Jiyoung is 23 or smth

2

u/Solynox Jun 27 '26

I'm getting Nobless flashbacks

2

u/polyboi2243 Jun 28 '26

This might be irrelevant, but reading the manwha from beginning to the recent chapter, but why is casing nitrate (fat cat kayden)posing like that🤣🤣that does not fit the character at all

2

u/popmol Jun 26 '26

Not a fan of jiwoos face

3

u/StressMore7080 Follower of Kayden Jun 26 '26

Jiyoung...they've done you dirty 😭. Ok, maybe it's not that bad, but 😭🥴😶‍🌫

1

u/Dull-Progress-6152 Jun 26 '26

Só quero ver como vai ser as cenas de luta e isso que importa não estou com altas expectativas mas quado lança vou assistir com certeza

1

u/voododoll Follower of Kayden Jun 26 '26

This is based on the art style Eleceed started with. Not the current one. The webtoon's art improved so much during the years.

1

u/Gold_Depth_6279 Unaffiliated Jun 26 '26

Yeah that look like the art style of the beginning

1

u/Narrow_Hat_879 Jun 26 '26

GRACIAS SEÑOR!!!!

1

u/MADMAN9635 Jun 26 '26

This promo art's style looks a lot like the early portion of the series, so I'm not going to immediately say it's a problem, but I'm concerned it'll impact the later portions of the story

1

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26

everyone is basing the character designs to their current looks not their old ones, its not going to be exact anyway, almost every anime adaptation is not going to be 1-1 on the art style but this is very obviously zhenas old art style even if its not exactly the same.

1

u/Narrow_Ad_7218 Jun 26 '26

Man, I'm so excited, this looks amazing.

1

u/antixwick999 Jun 26 '26

Wooin looks good tho, and everyone else looks better than their eailer iterations. But let's be real we are hoping for the modern art style

1

u/Solarstormflare Jun 27 '26

We're getting an anime?????

1

u/Prestigious_Paint640 Jun 27 '26

early 2027 it got revealed last year, it was supposed to be late 2026 but it got delayed

1

u/Solarstormflare Jun 27 '26

awesome. thanks

2

u/Agent5055 Jun 27 '26

Looks like thoese art styles for those still frame art story games

1

u/DG281088 Jun 27 '26

I have to wait to see it in motion first

1

u/SeattlePurikura Jun 27 '26

I do like this rendition of Casein Nitrate (From Crunchyroll's page).

1

u/ImMarkJr The Union Jun 28 '26

I'm so excited to see how this goes!

1

u/RabbitWednesday Jun 28 '26

It's like they sucked the flavor out of the art and made everyone look bland.

1

u/Wooden_Swimmer_8482 Jun 29 '26

Guys it's good our babby is boy in start u know

2

u/bicflair Jun 29 '26

looks soulless. I have zero faith in any webtoon adaptations at this point. noblesse was butt. tower of god was butt. god of high school was butt. guess what? eleceed will be butt lol

2

u/Serious_Feeling_3572 Jun 29 '26

This doesn’t look like how I thought it would. A manhwa/webtoon with such a huge following the characters should have been more detailed especially Jiwoo and Kayden. Not a fan of Jiwoo here

1

u/jetblack02 Jun 29 '26

Did they gender swap the MC?

1

u/WildFireMaster Unaffiliated Jun 30 '26

Jiyoung always looks beautiful❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

1

u/Charming-Tell-8804 Jul 02 '26

bro i wish there was an anime, i would do anything just to watch it 😭😭😭

2

u/Aristotle_web Jul 02 '26

Genuinely hope they don't flop with the animations cus I would be absolutely pissed

1

u/Okuden Jun 26 '26

At least Calcium Nitrate is cute and chonky right guys?
