I went back and watched world trigger season 1 cause I had nothing else to watch. It's way worse of a production than season 2. It's actually a pretty good representative of the changes shounen adaptations have undergone in the last 5 or so years. Season 1 has atrocious pacing, reuses so much animation and has tons of stills, and has a 15 episode garbage filler arc that was really hard to push through. Season 2 on the other hand has no filler, good pacing, and good animation. Season 1 released weekly for 73 episodes and season 2 was just a single cour with season 3 coming later the same year, also for a single cour.

It basically highlights the shift from weekly to seasonal shounen. The actual plot and characters (disregarding the filler arc) isn't any better in season 2, but the production changes make it so much better to watch. I think it'd be interesting to see some of the older weekly shounen get a new seasonal adaptation. One piece would be a great candidate, although it's so long it'd still take like 15 years to catch up to where the current anime is even with it's garbage pacing. Would also be kinda cool to see a tightly paced, well animated pokemon season of just 12 episodes.
