Anime series fans generally make up their mind based on the series’ animation. Moreover, they usually compare the animation with other anime series.
God, what an awful set of decisions from what was already the worst streaming service by far. I think I’m gonna cancel and ask my family to do so as well after succession concludes.

Social media fans seemed disappointed due to the bad animation as soon as HBO revealed the first original art.

The criticism from the fans was not only limited to the anime series, but they also criticized the makers, and the streaming platform, HBO Max.
At least it won't have Justin in it since the whole anime will have Japanese VAs and English subtitles!
