No matter how many times I try to watch one of these shows that use this clunky, low polygon count GCI, I just end up disgusted and feel like these studios just consider us all suckers.

Netflix seems to be the biggest purveyor of this, but it seems to be cropping up everywhere. I can think of only one reason they would peddle this is that it’s considerably cheaper to produce.

I’d like to that if the story is good enough that you could look past the bad animation, but I am constantly ripped from the story because it, no matter how hard I try. Because it’s so prevalent now, it makes me wonder if most people just aren’t bothered by it, or maybe even actually like it.

Here are some of the shows I’ve tried watching.

  • The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh
  • Trigun Stampede
  • Exception
  • Godzilla Singular Point
  • The Dragon Prince

Am I being over critical?

    I really liked GSP. I wasn’t put off by the mix of animation and CG. But, I pretty much love anything that has A) Godzilla, and B) no Matthew Broderick. (I like Matthew Broderick just fine when there’s no Godzilla in the mix.)

      Chainsaw Man’s CGI was incredibly well done too. If more anime used it like MAPPA did there, I think it would be better received.

    There are some CGI I have never minded, personally I think the real problem with CGI is quite often it does not mesh with traditional animation. Like the infamous bear fom Golden Kamuy.

    But then the Berserk movies and Promare shows you can have full CGI and work well as well as 2d/CGI hybrids and work well
