| > is it a dealbreaker?? yes. period. |
| Read light novels! 2023 Update: Do NOT read light novels. Regular novels are better. Glory to Haruki Murakami!!! |
| I like 3D anime if it's well made. D4DJ and BanG Dream! are probably my favorites. |

| 3D and low budgets, many times 3D stuff costs more x) It ain't workin like that. I don't care if it's 2D, 3D or semi 2-3D or whatever else, the execution matters, as a good 3D show example is Sidonia or Levius. |
| Definitely not preferred, and it is distracting in a lot of cases, but still not a deal breaker for me. Beastars was good. |
  |
| 3D donghua is fine, so I guess Japan will be there some day...but currently is really behind (even studio Orange which projects I dislike). |
| Only if it's well done like 3D animation from the US, but Japan is seemingly incapable of producing good 3D animation, so they better stick to 2D animation. |

This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| there's nothing wrong with 3d itself, but rather how it is used and how much budget the studio has. |
| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name. For those who want to learn Japanese through anime Resources for learning the language |
| Not necessarily a dealbreaker for me depending on how it looks. Stand by Me Doraemon, Lupin III the First, and Sand Land all have great looking CGI so I watched them, while Berserk (2016) looks like complete garbage so I didn't. Let's just say that if Baki kept the CGI fights and MHA kept the CGI for Endeavor (they used it in one scene in season 5), I probably would've stopped watching them. |

| @Zettaiken Also Ajin by the same studio. |
| Depends on why it's used. While donghua instead of anime, I personally love Zanting! Rang Wo Cha Gonglue's look, since it's intentionally made to look like a Genshin-esque sorta look, instead of being a budgetary thing. That donghua leans hard into that on the later episodes especially. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.    |
| Dreadful turnoff. I'm still not over how it ruined the newer adaptation of Trigun. |
 |
| 3d animation is done to speed up production but not to lower cost since its still expensive but not meeting deadlines is more expensive also there is animator shortage crisis like lack of mecha animators so they do 3d animation there instead im neutral on it as like 2d animation it can look bad or good too |
| It doesn't matter to me Though it can be a little off putting at first |
| They can be good, they can suck. What's that one with a guy who is turned into a lizard? That one is awesome. Starts with a D. Then there's that one that sucks about being turned into mummy-monsters... that one sucks (it's a Netflix anime). |
| Taiga best girl forever. |
| I don't mind it. It's animation as any other, just with different dominant artistic technique. You can find bad, mediocre, and good looking CGI anime, so it's the same as with other types of shows. What I love a lot is seeing a brilliantly made CGI. High production quality and a talented crew making the show can result in fantastic shows. Look at Studio Orange's anime TV series, like Beastars or Trigun Stampede, or at some movies created by other studios (i.e. Saint Seiya: Legend of Sanctuary, or Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero). They are totally visual feasts. |
| There's exceptions, but in general it's a pretty big detractor. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I'm not a traditional animation purist, so I can watch CG animation just as well.. And to touch on your example.. I have watched both and I couldn't look at Chuan Shu Zijiu Zhinan either.. Not because it was CG, but because it was about an adult man grooming a 14 year old boy.. |
| 2d or 3d doesnt matter at all, so long as its good who cares? |
 |
| I like early to mid 2000 scifi 3D CGI anime. |
| I don't mind 3D animated works. In terms of anime, Studio Orange does some great work in this area (like a few other replies mentioned). But I've watched the most 3D works through donghua. So, I can only speak on that area. Right now, I consider myself to be a seasoned donghua viewer. But when I first got into donghua, I did find the 3D to be very off putting. So, I stuck with the 2D stuff like: The King's Avatar, Versatile Mage, Demonic Cultivator, Daily Life of the Immortal King. It seems you are at this stage right now! But then I realized there are so many great works and stories that are told, even if it is in 3D. So, I gave it a shot. I had also read tons of manhua by this point, so that might have persuaded me to try it out. After a while, you just get used to the 3D. Soul Land was one of the first 3D donghua I watched. By the time the story picked up, I didn't even think about the 3D. Soul Land had some ups and downs in the quality, iirc. You can't necessarily predict/assume the quality will stay consistent throughout the series' run. That's one of the bigger downsides to 3D donghua. Once you get used to the 3D, you won't even notice it. You'll just be immersed in the story. Like many fellow repliers state, it's all about the execution of the story. |

| Doesn't matter as long as it has a good story and characters. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| I really like 3D animation when it's implemented well. DBS Super Hero quickly comes to mind as a good example. Most studios are focused on the quality of the 2D animation, as they ought to be, and I think that's why there's a lot of poor use of the additional medium in many series. In TV anime especially you can see how the fidelity of 3D assets are usually pitiful in comparison to the standard 2D animation. Even recent anime I really enjoy like Undead Unluck have 3D assets of... let's just say, extremely questionable visual quality being used at times. It usually doesn't hamper an experience for me, but it's definitely something you have to weigh as a factor in the quality of the title. |

| Nothing wrong with 3D in itself if done well even if I dont prefer it over 2D. It only is an issue if it is mixed with 2D in a distracting way but it doesnt make a dealbreaker then either just an annooyance. |
| Yes, i tend to avoid full 3D anime, i don't mind at all if it's integrated seamlessly with a mostly 2D anime though (i mean, as long as there are no jarring/out of place 3D people or animals....) |
 My Shoujo, Josei and Female targeted anime adaptations starting from 2017+ stacks: Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9181 Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9195 Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9225 Part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9280 |
| Nope. If anything I get somewhat more interested in 3D works, although that depends on who's making it. Mirabem said: 'm still not over how it ruined the newer adaptation of Trigun. "Ruined". Lol. |

I am fine with anything as long as the animation is natural and fluid; my only concern is that it should not be like Western animation films:meaning animations that completely resemble a computer game.

| I'm a big fan of 3DCG anime (not just Orange, also MAPPA and even the ones made by J.C Staff), but I still got filtered by the ugly-ass 3D character designs in Bang Dream! It's My Go!!!!, the best anime of 2023 according to some niche communities. |

windyshadow said: what do you think about 3d anime? is it a dealbreaker in choosing what you watch? For a moment I thought you meant actual Anime that required 3D glasses to view it. I don't think an Anime has ever actually been released in 3D but you were talking about CGI. For the record both "Mo Dao Zu Shi" and "Chuan Shu Zijiu Zhinan" are not Japanese Anime, they are Chinese Donghua. There is no such thing as Chinese Anime any more than there is such thing as Japanese Donghua. This platform might have both Japanese Anime and Chinese Donghua in the MAL database but they are two completely different mediums. Make no mistake I have learned this site is only called "MyAnimeList" just for the name sake, since a majority of everything this site platforms is basically Japanese Anime mixed in with animation mostly from anywhere in North East Asia. MAL could have been called anything really like "BobsNorthEastAsiaAnimationDataBase". "MyAnimeList", it's just a name for the site. Modern animation production basically uses CG all the time whether viewers realize it or not. Some are more polished than others where viewers couldn't tell it wasn't hand drawn and blends in nicely with the things that are actually hand drawn. But typically almost all action in modern Japanese Anime these days is heavily reliant on CG (it's just so polished that viewers couldn't tell it's reliant on CG). Unless you are talking about Japanese Anime around the turn of the century there no getting around the use of CG when animators stopped using Cel animation completely a long long time ago. CG is soulless though in contrast to Cel animation from the 90s and 80s. Now if you are talking about animation that basically looks like some cheap Chinese Donghua garbage product that completely looks synthetic to it's core, I would likely pass on watching it. If I wanted to consume raw computer graphics, I might as well being playing some modern video game. |

| 3d is always a degradation compared to 2d anime |
| I prefer traditional 2D but it's totally fine when anime studios use 3D for inanimate objects like cars, planes, buildings, etc. to make life easier for themselves since 2D characters are most important. Passable 3D is cheaper and faster to do than average 2D but nice 3D will need much more resources than nice 2D. |
| I don't have an issue with 3D (The Incredibles is still one of the best animated movies of all time and my mind can't be changed) but 3D in anime usually looks like crap. >B-b-but x and y look good I know. That's why I wrote "usually". |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Im open to it if it’s done well and utilized for its unique value over traditional 2D. Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is an example of this. Im still able to stomach some jank 3D of the setting is unique and they have interesting assets and characters designs (with decent writing). |
| If it's 3D I won't even bother giving it a chance. I've tried 3D in the past and all of it felt like everything is made out of clay and is playing in slow motion. |
 |
| I don't mind. I like when they mix cg with 2D like in Zoids and Initial D. |
| No, it's not a deal breaker for me. I would prefer 2D animation, but I'm not going to not watch something if it's got 3D animation. |
 |
| I think I've seen very few 3d animation so far (mainly in idols anime), so I don't have a strong opinion but in general I'd say I found it a bit worse than 'regular' animation. |
