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’m not a fan of it, but I don’t think I’m actively bothered by it either. I haven’t watched an anime done in entirely CGI since Kado the Right Answer was airing in 2017 though. Hopefully things have improved since then, I’ll have to check out Trigun Stampede.
In all fairness, Trigun had the best animation of the ones I listed. IMO
It’s also the newest, so hopefully it’s a trend of what’s to come.
