Episode 1 is. He's getting better at this. By episode 3, the characters have come alive and the scenery is really good.

What? In episode 3 at 0:30 he's coming out from a waterway to a junction but 5s later there's a wall standing exactly where he came from. The characters are horribly bland, there's no weight or fun to him surfing the water, he's stiff as a statue on it when a protagonist on a board usually is depicted as really skilled on their vehicle of choice.

Not to mention that all of the imagery has this oversharp AI quality to it + there's random blurring happening all over the screen at random locations, presumably because the video generation is happening in 5s intervals.

The dog-like creature on the ship was a fun addition but for some reason there was this long awkward silence before, during and after Kuno pet it.

If this is your definition of an alive character then I suggest you go read some quality books or watch quality series made before 2022.
