Ugh... after Blade Runner 2049, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Mandalorian, I'm no longer willing to lower my standards for these decade-late sequels/spin-offs (as I now know it can be done!) and this looks... rough. 3D anime aesthetics always look like videogame cut scenes but worse. Dead eyes, weird shading, etc. Maybe the story is really, really, good but I see no hints of that being the case.

After watching the trailer, I have to agree with you. The whole thing looked like a trailer for a video game set in the Blade Runner world to me. The animation felt too slow, stuck in the uncanny valley. The voice acting sounded good to me (was that Brian Cox?), but what little I learned of the story didn't really interest me. The selected cuts seemed so preoccupied with the world, not the characters. Am I really supposed to be excited by seeing that car for a sizeable chunk of the trailer?
I just watched 2049 for the first time last week, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So far, this feels like a pale imitation.
... the first which? It looks good, but is this a new movie, TV series or game? Sequel to the BR2049 sequel, or directly from the original? Answered my own question ... 10 seconds on DDG, d'oh....
compared to the first one

Answered my own question ... 10 seconds on DDG, d'oh. 13-episode anime series basedon both movies, set 15 years before the 2nd one.

This is a marked difference in tone compared to the first trailer, definitely more of a Blade Runner feel that we were all hoping for.

To the first trailer, I could have definitely been more clear there!
