The "low quality" scene here, as well as the similar end fight in the series, feature what seem to be hand-drawn backgrounds. The camera moves *through* complicated scenes, which is challenging to animate. Most of the time in animation the camera is restricted to panning because then you can use a static background. It seems clear that the "quality" was a deliberate choice: given a fixed budget, they chose to downres the image quality to allow themselves time to animate the backgrounds. Whether or not the result works for you or not is a matter of personal taste, but definitely watch the video (rather than just look at the still frames) before making a decision. (Honestly, the series' end fight works much better, imo.)

the guy in charge of the animation in birdy (Ryouchimo) also worked on noein, the action sequences in ep7 and 12 look very much like those in noein... go figure :>

The DVD version of this episode would like some words with you. And the word is "pretentious" and "idiot"

i thought it was just the animator's style. :S i didn't mind it since the rest of the anime was pretty much top quality anyways. those scenes changed things up a bit.

Oy! Isn't this the same animation style used in Kemonozume? Why is everyone getting all in a huff?

If u have to draw a shitlock u have to draw it then it will look like.... a shitlock and it will be probably be ugly...

But the story asked for a shitlock. so a shitlock it is... Now picturice the shitlock as the state of mind of birdy at that moment and there u have the decision about how to draw birdy's stunlocked memory.... thats all.

I hope there's a third season.

The history of this anime is pretty good, that is the only scene that has that kind of animation, in that scene birdy´s mind is lost and Tsutomu is triying to get in contact with her. I´ve seen the anime and only in some battles the animation goes this bad, all the rest of the history is pretty good.

Uhm...
Somehow Birdie looks fatty for me during those fail drawings...
Haven't seen the show yet...
It's still great but the drawing of unbalanced body parts made me lol.
During the time Birdie cried, the movement of her face is so jelly-like. LOL!

As said, it's a memory flashback sequence. It done this way to reflect the mental state the she was in.

Again with the "it's art" bullshit. Ugly is UGLY, no matter the reason.

It's interesting that you mention Macross F 10 here. The scene featured in the video from 0:24 to 1:10, which most of the shots above are coming from, was animated by Niho Tomoyuki, who incidently was responsible for the end fight in said MacF episode.

As for the entry, true fail as expected from a site like sankakucomplex. Animation is lost on the average anime fan who wants stillframes of naked female 2d characters with voice-over by Tanaka or Kugimiya Rie.
