Dude you won't believe this but today I saw someone reply under a chainsaw man video stating that most of chainsaw man's first episode was CGI even the character acting and all lol. When someone else clarified that it was 2d and not CGI he said and I quote "Doesn't matter if it was 2d, if it looked like 3d then it was bad 2d animation to begin with."
This just goes to show that these people will hate anything that MAPPA studios does at this point and it's hilarious.
Most intelligent individual on Twitter lmao, actual NPCs, these people are
Which parts of chainsaw man were cgi though? Without counting objects and backgrounds, there was just that scene in episode 1 that denji looked cgi, no other fight scene after that looks like that, maybe they realized it looked bad and stopped using the cgi that way idk are there any more character cgi in chainsaw man?
@@pizza134 the one you mentioned, then in the denji vs bat devil fight denji switched between 3d and 2d a few times, then again in the eternity devil fight, and then in the most recent episode katana man also switched between 3d and 2d a few times and the ghost devil, curse devil and snake devil were cgi.
@@abhrajeet841 A friend of mine said scenes like that aki morning routine, aki was cgi and i was "like, no its not, look at the clothes" but he keeps insisting its cgi cause the movement is mechanic
@@pizza134 yeah these people can't even tell the difference between cgi and realistic looking 2d character animation
for me personally attack on titan season 4 part 2 has the best looking and moving cgi i seen for a 2d anime. mainly the fight scene between eren reiner and galliard. the rumbling also was really good.
The wall titans looked really good I will say.
Its so insanely frustrating that people aren't able to discern between good and bad CGI because they automatically assume that any form of CGI is automatically bad.
Agreed
That ironic, if you think chainsaw mans cgi is good you need glasses it not as bad as people say but it good either it mediocore, now if it was like genshins or guilty gears then it looked good
@@DanielRodriguez-zi9qe it is pretty good and blended well. Most of the times it's not even CGI
@@DanielRodriguez-zi9qe see, you are the kind of person he was talking about.
@@DanielRodriguez-zi9qe it is good. You just confirmed his point. Hell people will say something is CGI when it clearly isn't and then proceed to say well it looks bad because it looks CGI.
I feel like I would be fine with a lot of people disliking CGI in anime if any of the had an idea what they were talking about. As long as they lay out well thought out points and reasonings I can understand. But to just say "It is bad" is baffling to me
If a scene with CGI models in an otherwise hand-drawn show stands out in an off-putting way, I think that's a valid criticism regardless how little the critic knows about the subject
@@kwk111 but the point is that the people almost never say that
I find it so funny how I've seen so many people say Chainsaw Man is a "downgrade" from JJK just because it uses 3D model for Chainsaw Man itself and then say "JJK has no noticeably bad CG"
Yea it's interesting, people say that they hate cgi, but in reality they just hate cgi foregrounds
havent seen jjk but I saw a few episodes of chainsaw man, the cgi looks ugly
@@kesha2293 watch first, then comment. Don’t be a stupid person, be smart
@TheRealOneAkusik nah, aki fight with the snake/ghost devil cgi was pretty bad too
@@----S. delusional fight looked beatiful
5:32 This is a really good example. There are many people who say that this fight is still better than the one from S4 ep17 or equal. I’m seriously baffled about statements like this. Are we watching the same show? The CG hate is crazy. Like you said CSM ep1: Really good animation and character acting etc. and then there are a few scenes of CG and suddenly the whole episode is trash!? But I have to say I like CGI in Anime more where the blend is so good that you don’t notice it that much, rather then for it to be used in a way where it stands out completely only to do something you can’t with 2D animation. The uncanny valley hits hard sometimes.
Ugly 3d characters are ugly.
I think there's a video about the cg impacts and such, I forgot the title of the video though. Since it talks about cgi in movies, anime, etc. Even marvel studios with their use of cgi
I’ll always keep saying this as many times as I need to but..
*Noticeable CGI and Noticeably BAD CGI are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS*
The problem is how jarring it is. It's distracting and takes me out of the actual anime.
I never understood people saying "you can't even tell its cgi, it looks 2D!"
Maybe for them, but I can EASILY tell when a character is cgi, even if it's switching between 2d and 3d as it goes. Only time it's not possible for me to tell is just when it's only for a frame or 2, because then it's just too fast for the human eye to catch in general.
It's jarring because the movement immediately changes, along with detail and shadows to a cgi look, and it's a lot more smoothed over than 2D animation.
In a vacuum of just anime vs other anime cgi, sure it's good cgi. Doesn't mean it's GOOD cgi.
Good cgi is indistinguishable from non cgi unless it's intentionally made to look different.
Good cgi is violet evergardens type writers. Or the backgrounds in many anime.
The characters? Not so much. It's really noticeable still.
For me, cgi is bad as long as I can notice it and go "that's cgi". If it flies under my radar then it's good cgi.
Chainsaw man had some of the best anime cgi for characters ever. There's still a number of scenes I was disappointed in though because my brain went "that's cgi".
It's still noticeable even in chainsaw man. It's just a lot better than other shows like aots cgi is all.
Nah the aot cgi is garbage. CSM, Demon Slayer and JJK were leagues better. This dudes opinion was automatically invalid when he said S3 fight was poorly animated. Is he on crack?
@@trevorveillette8415 yeah I agree with you that's a pretty good explanation.
4:37 that jaw titan scene is still the best CG I have ever seen in anime.
I thought it was 2D the first time, kinda surprising it was in 3d
That was not a full CGI, it was a partial CGI.
I dont have any problem with cgi if it atleast is somewhat decent to look at. The thing which matters the most is if the adaptation is truly a good descendent of the source material.
Berserk 2016 really leave a big impact on cgi hate culture to the point people drop the show coz of cgi (yes there r ppl who drop shows coz of cgi)
Another the big reason could be big mainstream creators don't appreciate good CGI and constantly make joke "ehh cgi " "cgi shadows" etc so obviously people will think cgi in anime is just bad
And at last biased opinions towards different building (if u khow u khow)
Btw thnks for mentioning slum dunk cgi that running scene was really good and that dorohedoro scene was actually 2D by yoshihara ideue(don't know about whole scene but he was credited for it)
True, although I'll be honest, gigguk has made a whole video highlighting the positives and negatives of cgi, unfortunately people only listen to one of those aspects, also yea the scenes from dorohedoro that I used aren't necessarily cgi, it's just there to get the point across
@@ProbablyPretentious yeh i like his videos a lot but he also don't like cgi uses in anime(I'm guessing on his Livestream trailer reactions) will see what he will say about CSM cgi when the video drops(maybe)
I drop anime the second I see CGI. Ask me anything
Cgi in the rights hands and when it's not used for a band-Aid on rushed production is where it's at it's best. It's a different but useful tool to use.
CGI, it’s something you hate like the cursed berserk anime and cant stop admiring in something like fate and demon slayer
This was such a beautifully explained video, and it was very much needed. Thank you for your awesome explanations, I appreciate your work, and I want even more videos from you expressing artistic choices.
Jojos op are the best examples of CGI Humans
I know right?!
I honestly dont like the visuals for part 4 and 5 because it was in 2d i wish they had done it in 3d
The thing is when people think of CGI they mostly think of low budget or 2012-2016 CGI but it has gotten quite a bit better in anime, the new dragon ball movie has really good action and attack on Titans makes great use of it as well during season 4 the colossal titan did look bad in the early seasons when using CGI but that was between that 2012-2016 time
CGI makes every every action in anime look phenomenal! I am glad CGI exists in anime.
There’s this unnecessary stigma around it like you watch Berserk 2016 once then assume that every anime that uses CG is the same. Yes there are bad examples but generalizing it to all CGI is looking past the truly amazing uses of it.
The good cgi is the one which makes us focus on story rather than cgi.
Warhammer fight in aot is really bad cgi and compositing that it kept bothering me.
And the very next episode is really good cgi. And for part 2 i never thought about cgi at all
I mean it was obvious that mappa is still fairly new at it and are trying to improve upon it, I mean they made another studio division specifically for cgi. I mean its nice that they want to improve and work hard on it. Since they're experimenting, and due to their harsh deadlines, they want to get good at cgi
Ok. You’ve convinced me, you and chainsaw man.
the cgi in csm Epi 3 looked amazing, almost like it was 2d itself.
Also you mentioned dorohedoro. What’s your overall take on it?
Dorohedoro is a really fun watch, the direction is stellar, hayashi is quite comfortable with cgi after all, the show has a strong artistic identity, which I love
@@ProbablyPretentious nice
Demon slayer doesnt recive any criticism even when the show and fights are mostly CGi cause as fas as I know their CGI composition is genuinely good one of the best rn and second they exclusively use CGI for background.
Tengen and guytaro had more CGI than Eren vs riener.
Cause Mappa uses CGI for foreground so people think "hmm CG character how disgusting" meanwhile both the fights were good.
I remember watching AoT S4 episode 1 and being blown away by how good the Armored Titan looked. It didn't even click to me that he was a 3D model until I noticed the more subtle non-actiony movements, but realizing it was 3D never made it look any worse.
I also knew the 3D hate was overblown the moment The Rumbling would come and there would STILL be people who said WIT would've done it better (probably forgetting how the Colossal Titan looked in S3, and going off this unrealistic expectation that millions of colossal titans would've been hand-drawn). Genuinely I don't see any reasonable way The Rumbling could've looked better than it does.
Animators putting hours of hard work into the project only for jack from Florida to say “LMAO PS2 CGI”
There’s also the utility of on-model limitations. For example in Kengan Ashura there’s a competitor with a joint mobility mutation and there’s no way in hell you can keep his arm stretch attacks consistent without using a 3D model to get a sense of accuracy
Aren't the wit studio Aot backgrounds done by studio madbox????
They are, all of their cg is done by madbox but it's pain to mention that every time, it's a wit studio production so let's stick to wit lmao
@@ProbablyPretentious true, can't imagine how many people are gonna be like: "UuH ThAt Is WiT sTuDiO, nOt ThAt OtHeR rAnDoM sTuDiO yOu MeNtIoNeD"
Wait till they find out that wit didn't do the compositing and a large chuck of the background art for aot either...
@@ProbablyPretentious wait until they find out WIT studio is a studio and not a someone animating the show😱😱😱
6:15 default Straw man, when people saying CGI in anime they are talking about a specific thing and you know well what exacly they meant
Exactly, which is why using a blanket term like "cgi" isn't fair, most people hating of cgi are actually only hating on foreground cgi models, but they claim to hate on cgi as a whole
thank God I am not the only one who thinks that Slam Dunk CGI is good
Yep, it looks really solid
Well I will not say it is bad cgi but I feel disappointed about it tbh I thought the movie will have 2d modern sakuga with mix of 3d backgrounds and good blending between them
I mean some movements did feel stiff to me.
I really like that they are putting an effort to make it look good but they will have to improve a lot.
It's good when it's good, it's very bad when it's bad xD
Bad cg can be utilized tho, the man God from mushoku works so well BECAUSE it's bad, the uncanny feeling that poorly blended cg gives off can be a good thing actually
@@ProbablyPretentious What you said about Armored Titan from season 4 ep 1 compared to the fight in Shinganshina season 3 is exactly why i subscribed to you ! Exactly my thoughts.
The problem I have with 3DCG backgrounds is that the characters look really awkward against them, like it's not seamlessly integrated - you see that in the AOT and Demon Slayer scenes shown in this video for example
I think the anime Girls und Panzer have a great use of CGI during its fight scenes, but as you said in the video CGI people in a hand drawn world are uncanny.
i think cgi can get out of hand if it’s used as a crutch to save time rather than giving animators reasonable schedules. the industry cares way more about quantity than quality. and i’m mostly just talking about foreground cgi.
As an animator myself, I’ll never stop loving hand-drawn animation, but it feels like we’re finally nearing a turning point where studios can make full CGI look amazing, from Arcane and Spiderverse, to LOTL
I really think that Cgi is good when given much more time to develop it, I understand where this is coming from but not all cgi are bad it can be very amazing to look at.
The reason all fans hate cgi is because in all the most popular shows its been overrelied on, David Production used CGI in a clever way, to replicate motion in a more realistic way, in the first episode of Stardust Crusaders its used to simulate movement in the background when the characters were walking down stairs and then turning to the left
Wow your take on CGI in anime is pretty valid,and I don't really mind Cg getting used in anime,just look at Ufotable like the Uzui fight it had huge amount Cg usage and damn that fight is one of the best this year, and CSM too they are using CGI to certain extent which like some shots do look a little uncanny but the show itself is so cinematic,well what I think is that CGI will be the future of anime.
Is rotoscoping also considered CGI ?
I still can't believe ppl think cg is bad in anime
Lmao Twitter is a thing, unfortunately
Most people do if it's used in the foreground, backgrounds and non living things should be in cgi as well as crowds, the focus characters should always be 2d if there is a blend
Finally, TH-cam recommended me a good channel
🙏
At this point animators should take notes from Arc System Works, I mean sure they're 3d is noticeable with gg strive and fighterz, but it looks good though
For me, CGI is a difficult topic to discuss or give a definitive opinion on.
Recently watched chainsaw man, and I couldn't help but notice the use of CGI and some scenes the movement of the characters looked very stiff (episode 8).
I watched D4DJ before and enjoyed it a lot after getting used to seeing CGI.
But sometimes, I still find it jarring.
After what you said, I will give Trigun a try when it comes out. I originally didn't like it, especially after watching it in 2020, and really enjoyed it even though it took time as well to get used to the animation.
In a nutshell, sometimes CGI bothers me other times I barely notice it or don't care.
If you notice it. It dosen't mean that it's bad. What movement are you Talking about in episode 8?
@@A1000-b9s for you that might be your definition of what qualifies as good cgi.
But for me bad cgi DOES = me noticing it.
Takes me right out of the scene and just makes me go "that's cgi"
@@trevorveillette8415of course that you can notice a CGI model in a close up bruh. So beastars or dorohedoro is bad because It dosen't want to Hide the CGI?
My honest opinion on the CGI titans.
Armor: Decent. But has some janky scenes.
Cart: pretty good
Jaw: Decent.
Beast: Meh.
Attack: Good.
Warhammer: Good.
Colossal / wall titans: Very nice (unlike wit's, sorry)
What about you guys?
Can be a good thing when used wisely, but so far I'm not a fan. Except for background usage in for example AOT
So many people shit on the Armored titan CG. While his hand draw fights (not hate to WIT it looks fucking good, but the complex design limist them.) its mostly still images or very little movement.
While MAPPAs CG modrl... WOAH LOOK AT GIM. RIGHT JAB, LEFET, LEFT, RIGHT, DUCK AND HAYMAKER. Like for fucks sake bro. Its so good.
Really great video
I agree CGI is good if applied correctly, but I'll never forgive what they've done to Berserk the animation. that's just hot garbage
1:24 anime?
Jujutsu kaisen 0
It's crazy that these otakus forgot the meaning of anime is japanese style of animation. So that means it could be any types of animation, heck even jc staff implemented lego stop motion for prison school.
Hell we had end of Evangelion using live action footage all the way back in the late 90s, anime is more than just hand drawn animation
I personally think CGI can look better than 2D if the studio isn't using it to cut corners for time constraints, nearly every Gundam anime has CG MECHS in it, and look amazing, something 2d was never able to achieve in the older Gundam shows, giving it that robotic polish look, (I do still like 2d MECHS but cg MECHS just look way better!)
Ajin is still currently my most favorite full cg anime, and grateful they chose to go along that way!
There's even an anime that managed to make crappy cg look like it couldn't have been done any other way and in a good way!..
I'm talking about Kurokami...
The only times I've disliked the choice of CGI was Berserk 2016-2017, (but looked fine in blu-ray) and Ex-Arm!
Keep up the good shit !
Bet🙏

Drawing over a cg image is one of the best techniques to have ever been created....
My biggest gripe is the movement as well as it not blending well with its surroundings....(That's a real eye sore)
I used to be one of those people who would go crazy hearing that the 20 second animation scene in a 2d anime I watched is CGI... After sometime, I realized that the animators are underpaid and many are literally dying. So after that, I started not hating CGI. It's not that x CGI's any easier, but since it doesn't need to be drawing every single frame, it make it a little faster to animate. Props to the animators suffering for us to get these gorgeous shows, most of whom get hate for something so small you might haven't even realized by yourself but someone else pointing it out.
Yo, you should just say characters instead of foreground because you could have a fully CG desk in the foreground and I don't think people would care.
Also, it's namely characters moving that's the problem because when you animate characters in 2D they'll have inherent imperfections but 3D will always be perfect, unless you program it otherwise. Think about the way shading moves on a 3D character vs 2D (lines won't be consistent between frames). Some 3D stills are obviously 3D (4:25) but others look perfectly fine (5:36)
They should use the cgi and 3d methods that arc system works does to their recent games. It's a mixture of both and to make every movement, jumping, and combat in the 3d environment like its a drawing, the illusion of 2d in a 3d space.
@@BeansLive567 Yeah, that would be the best case scenario but that takes a bunch of effort. Arc sys treats those 3D models as if they were 2D, reducing the frame rate and purposely adding imperfections. Really do wish we get a full CG anime one day that does go full force like Arc sys tho
@Rehan I think studio MAPPA tried to incorporate that for chainsaw man for some scenes but I feel like they're far from making it perfect like how arc sys does it. Cause most of the time it looked a bit weird
CGI foreground character brake immersion for me. Sometimes its very noticeable especially the movement and takes you out of the story.
Well I understand cgi is good for crunch, and I will agree the backgrounds look much better but truthfully all cgi I’ve seen still looks out of place, and the lighting and shading still come no where near someone putting in the care to actually shade it, I think one of the coolest things is that when everything has to be drawn in anime it means everything had thought put into it, you just will never get that same lvl with a 3D model doing all the shading
What do you mean a 3d model is doing all the shading?
anything that has CGI doesn't mean it's bad, it's bad if it is clunky or sloppy animation..
This video was very educational 😊🙏
ever heard about time=money?
In that case correct. CGI IS more cheap. That's the main reason. So don't get frustrated. It's the the budget of the number of drawings.
for example If you want multiple titans they HAVE to be 3d. Or stuff gets cut. These were hte two options with Attack on titan season 4
I saw some idiot on titanfolk say JJK is Mappas love child since CSM has CGI
I don't think I like the Slam Dunk movie. The hate of cgi is good to make the company not find an easy way and just randomly use cgi. I'm not telling you to not use cgi but use it both to make easier but not feel cheap like I really like the way ufotable mix the 2D and 3D animation so well. Anime without any 2D is not really an anime for me
That's a surface level take, nothing states that anime must use 2d in order to be an anime, anime is literally short for animation, which can be 3d, 2d or a mix of both, Japanese animation is anime, there's no other criteria for that
@@ProbablyPretentious thx for reply, yeah in that part I agree or I always agree, that's why I said for my opinion anime with full cgi is not anime for me personally (cause I didn't got the same feeling when I watch full 2D or 2D mix 3D anime which that's how modern anime was made)
A 60 sec CGI is ok. Imagine Berserk fans rage. They created the greatest manga wholly with CGI.
People who dunk on CGI ether have the displeasure of seeing berserk 2016 or are mentally stuck in the 90s
Funniest part is all this haters never read the manga and their favorite anime if Boruto, Mha, One-piece
Weebs when they see great animation except 2 frame per second like in one piece:😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I cant pretend aot final season has a good cgi, I'm not blind
I think you are
People will see cgi and immediately start bitching 🤦♂️ . I just watched lupin III the first movie it's fully compter generated and it's arguably the best cgi in anime. It's on the same level as Pixar/Disney cgi if not better.
I agree with you I’ve seen a lot of people say the new Trigun cgi is bad because it’s too cartoonish
Anime fans really go complaining about smooth cgi movement in Anime and then shamelessly make 60fps edits 🤡
Lmao, can't even find an anime opening these days without 7 of those God awful 60fps vids with the horrendous artifacts on it
I feel like the cgi hate for aot and mappa especially comes down to one thing. That trailer in s4 part 1 which caused to much unnecessary hype and put the animators in a loss loss situation. If that trailer didn't exist to spoiled everyone the hate for aot, and cgi may have been less. I get it was a pre animated trailer but if it's your only trailer then it's not a good sign. It reminds me way too much of those fake gameplay trailer in e3 events. I just hope the anime industry doesn't go down this path.
The thing is tho, the pre animated trailer is how mappa originally wanted the show to look like, they even went as far as to make the character designs for 2d titans, the look changed when the 3d titans came into the picture
@@ProbablyPretentious I understand that but in reality it created unnecessary hype which caused the animators to be attacked by huge amount of backlash from being different from the trailer. I understand they wanted the show to be like that but they have to understand that railty can offend be disappointing and imo they should have show just small clips of episode 1 like what wit did for their past 3 seasons. Pre animated trailer imo caused more bad then good especially if it's the only trailer.
i actually really loved the cgi in chainsaw man.shit looked great and fit in so well.
maybe theres one scene that looks a little odd but they pulled off cgi the best out any anime ive ever seen.
I came here after seeing chainsaw first episode (late). I cope and blame bad CGI for that "scene". After finished watching this video. You state that it isn't CGI. So it is just bad 2D animation. (Only for the "scene").
I didn't find any "scene" that looked bad from the first episode, aside from maybe the very first scene where denji's form appeared (which was cg)
@@ProbablyPretentious the model for his neck and when he gets hit by a pipe look weird, but besides that it still looks great
@@ProbablyPretentious he is Talking about The realistic movements and character acting. And he thinks it's bad 2d because The movements are more realistic.
This channel is underrated ngl.
Ok lets just be honest the cgi in chainsaw man episode 1 was somewhat very clunky in some shots but in episode 3 in the bat devil fight it was just so gorgeous i couldnt even bielive it and i can confidently say no fight in the jujutsu kaisen s1 comes close to that fight even with the cgi in it.
I do get that, but I went and looked at ep 1 again, and there was around sixty seconds worth of cgi in the entire episode
The problem is not "time"...The problem is "money".
They use a lot of CGI to pump as much anime content as possible in the shortest amount of time.
So they can make the most money in the shortest amount of time.
For example look at something like the 26 episodes of EVA and something like the Ghost in the shell movie...and compare it with today's anime...nothing today looks better.
Another thing I want to add...In the current season of anime...we have 68 anime.
A lot of sh*t pumped...and a lot of people that cope with 3DCG.
I don't think that's correct, in the long term maybe, if they invest in a 3d model that can be used for the next 50 eps that may save money, but in the short term, cgi is the more expensive alternative, since cgi artists are paid more than traditional 2d animators. You're not wrong when you say that cgi Is used to pump out a lot of shows, however the reason why it's needed is because most shows don't have the schedule/time required to hand draw complicated designs for too many frames...
@@ProbablyPretentious "cgi is the more expensive alternative, since cgi artists are paid more than traditional 2d animators"
Probably because the can "create more" in a specific amount of time.
You are paid not only for quality...but also for *quantity*.
The CGI artists demand a bigger pay because they "create more".
The companies insert a little bit of BAD CGI there and a little bit there...people cope because "these are the times"...people just consooom because this is what they get...
"however the reason why it's needed is because most shows don't have the schedule/time"
And who is making these "schedules"???
@@azumag4432 schedules? The production committee
People who are new to watching anime: CGI is good for anime

Cgi uh uh
I really don't mind cgi tbh it's just that more often than not it's really uncanny
Great video as always! I really want to say this however and I originally wanted to comment on MankoMan's video with the similar topic as you but decided not to because I'm not sure what I'm talking about regardless but here it is:
I'm going to go through assumption but I have a feeling the reason why anime fans despise CGI is not only because of Berserk 2016, but also probably because how CGI were oversaturated in their daily lives given a lot of Western Animation especially movies uses a lot of CGIs. Anime happens to be the only medium that uses 2D or Hand-Drawn animations to this day and some people decided to gatekeep CGI because it'll ruin their experience and they didn't want anime getting oversaturated with CGI just like what happened in the West. That and you could argue that considering 2D or Hand-Drawn animation is kinda dying to a certain degree and how CGI tend to age poorly as time went by compared to 2D and Hand-Drawn animation... This probably contributes to a huge stigma against the CGI. Another thing that made a lot of anime fans scared of CGI is of course, the clunky movement and the uncanny valley that existed when using a CGI you could argue that Japanese CGI were still at its infancy compared to the west which is possible on why people perceive Japanese CGI isn't ready yet. But yeah, speaking of Japanese people not being ready yet, you could also say that people dislike CGI because it was used as a shortcut rather than enhance a product.
Regardless, these are my assumption on why tons of people hate CGI in anime and still, great video nonetheless. And I just want to say that even Masao Maruyama, the former producer and founder of Madhouse and MAPPA, said that the blend of CGI and 2D can be the future of the anime and this is the reason why animes like Garo exists. Speaking of CGI, you should check any works by Naomi Iwata, it looks really great until now even if its on CGI.
That's true, although in most cases, people are simply mad because why not, I don't think many people put that much thought into of, of course aot pissed off a lot of people as well.
@@ProbablyPretentious There are some people who jumped into the bandwagon so I'm not surprised
@@ProbablyPretentious and yep, just recently read the thread about the cgi dislike on Trigun Stampede mal forum. I can essentially confirm that the stigma against CGI came to several things such as anime medium doesnt translate well to CGI because its deep rooted to 2D, have their adaptation lost in value when it comes to CGI, making the visuals dated as time went by compared to 2D animation which stood the test of time or the existence of CGI would make the 2D of anime extinct. These are the opinions of the people who commented on that Trigun Stampede MAL thread so yeah... That and one of the commenters here said that people hate CGI because it was used as a shortcut to be lazy.
Also, speaking of CGI, have you seen the Nanatsu no Taizai the Edinburgh arc or some stuff.
What do You think of The Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero CGI? It would be interesting if you made an animation breakdown
Mappa didnt use the cg in Chainsawman properly
The problem is using cgi to imitate hand drawn. That always looks inferior to full hand drawn
Not Really. I disagree
Puss N boots the last wish
Into the spiderverse
Arcane
What's about the CGI mimicking 2D again?
Not the case for the wall titans in the AoT special episode. They look as good, or even better than hand drawn.
No, its not
Bro did not watch the video
It is used as a tool. Mostly with backgrounds. Deal with it
CGI is always inferior compared by Hand drawn animation
Just look ugly CGI by Mappa project like AOT and CSM
watch the video doo doo brain
CGI is a very different art form to handrawn Animation. It's not infenior. And AOT and CSM is ugly CGI? That's bullshit. Wanna see ugly CGI? Watch berserk or nier
Am pretty sure you didn't watch the video and instantly posted this dumb comment.
Shut up NPC
Slam dunk movie will suck
I am telling you bro the amount of braindead takes about csm cgi i have seen on twitter is astounding.Something along the lines of jjk is clearly the favourite child of mappa and csm got the leftover budget of jjk so they are using cgi🫠
