Stop looking down on everyone but you and assuming that you're the only one here that knows what art direction is and has realized the ABSOLUTELY OBVIOUS AIM they had with this. I mean, you can keep congratulating yourself for having realized it, but when there's even a translated interview where they talk about it then you're going to look a little silly.
Yes, Nagahama achieved a very eerie atmosphere is just one episode. Not necessarily in the same vein as the manga - or rather, not at all, to the point that the mangaka said he considers this a different take on his story. But he added that the director truly understands it so he trusts him to make a good Aku no Hana anime. That's great. But it doesn't change how very poorly made it is. You can claim that the terrible acting adds to the creepy vibe they were going for, but don't even try to say that there's anything intentional or positive about crap like the faces popping up and disappearing. And say that crying about that is the same as /a/ posting inbetweens all you want, but it won't stop being utter bullshit. Something that is part of a whole being nitpicked and a recurring issue that adds absolutely nothing to the episode aren't the same by any stretch.
You should know full well that anyone who's complained here wasn't upset by the artistic intent but rather by how shitty the production is. If it doesn't bother you, or anyone else for that matter, I honestly don't care. Just stop pulling this act of misunderstood genius and creating random drama.
