I have chosen to display the cartoon sequences from the three first episodes of each season.

Ngl they lowkey remind me of the super cheap SVG animations in old Chinese media like Growing up with Chinese. At least WIT took the effort to actually draw the assets themselves, but looking beyond rendering again, the quality of animation between the two is shockingly similar…

The downgrade in typography also stood out to me. Although both have made different choices to keep costs low, Ajiado came off as cheap in an intentional way, while WIT comes off as careless or unappealing in some places.
