The art style is great, but in my opinion the old one fits the vibes of the story more

True

I liked them when they looked lifeless

Yeah, I feel like the original art style was what I got used to, and now in this new chapter everything looks so glowy and vibrant and it doesn’t really for the bill... before it was more muted, so to say, and it fit the story better,
Idk maybe it’s just me
