They will ruin this with too much CGI.

but cgi can look fucking awesome these days and there's a lot of great cgi in anime people didn't even notice because it so well implemented

@FlowVonD I really hope you're not one of those studio Orange fans. People have tried to convince me their stuff is top tier, but it looks so janky. Textures look flat af, something about how stiff the characters all look, and at certain points they just speed up the framerate which is super awkward during snappy action bits.

@TofuTehSurvivor Tell me you have no clue what you're talking about without telling me lol.

@ELtaaaaaa Okay then I'll ask you a simple question. What is your grand idea of good CGI? Just name one series. I already know what kind of trash you're going to respond with, but I'm more curious to be proven wrong.

@TofuTehSurvivor Why would I could say anything and you'd get mad and say "NO NO NO" like the fucking riddler lmao.

@ELtaaaaaa No, I'm all ears. I even said prove me wrong. No need to be afraid if you would stand behind a series you like.

imagine an open world game of Akira with CG cutscenes, I'd prefer that over a full CG series

@TofuTehSurvivor Orange do use real actors for the movement of their characters, so I can see where you are going saying it looks a bit choppy at times, but they did such an awesome job with Beastars, I'd take that over any bland ass "just painting the manga panel in a color animated version" adaptations any day

This adaptation is going to be sh!t, just like every "new" project of old anime made for "modern audiences"

This new one will have some sort of woke & "the message" in there, inserted casually or in plain view. Mark my words.

@Dawizz WAH WAH WOKE WAH WAH WAH shut up rightoid

@kmlkmljkl

Go suck a pineapple boy, grow some hair on your ink sack, go watch more anime, get laid more than once, stop living in your parents basement & eating their food.

Once you have done all that, then you can come talk to me. Until then, who are you again? Oh yeah a nobody.

But I'll be a good sport and advice you, be careful what you say to me, it may come off as hate speach, after all I am a LGBT member, a married with children one. So be careful on your whitty/teen edgelord come back/response.

Also, your response just showed me I already won the argument, I dunno why your side thinks that by calling us such names your sticking it up to us or something.

It doesn't, I was also a lib moron like yourself, but got Red pilled, hard and never looked back.

cgi≠bad animation

I also typically hate heavy CG usage (the new trigun and berserk being two good examples of cgi gone wrong), but Ufotable has show us that CG can be used tastefully and preserve the artistry integral to anime. Just look at Heavens Feel or Garden of Sinners (Kara No Kyoukai). It HAS to be light CG usage, or in a style that mimics hand drawn cells/classic anime look. Most anime fans don’t want their shows looking like video game cutscenes. Akira done in Ufotables style would certainly work well, and we could finally get a thorough adaptation of the manga.

Don’t get me wrong, the film was a masterpiece, but the manga has so much more context and character development that was left out. Akira was always prime to be revisited. It would be the coolest if the original team could redo it as a series of films like Unicorn Gundam or Gundam Origin did (1 hour OVAs with no television editing, broken in 7 films).

Stampede is an example of gone VERY right. It has artistry and preserves the integrity of anime, and looks fantastic in general.

@Oongbuh I’m late to respond, but I really, really disliked the art style they used in the new trigun. I understand that it is quicker and cheaper to use majority CG, but comparing it to the original Trigun anime just makes the entire thing feel cheap and video gamey.

I guess when comparing it to other majority-cg anime it’s fine, maybe even “good”, but no cg anime will ever be “great” in the way that the examples I provided were.

Anime in general has a uniqueness and charm that largely comes from an adherence to tradition that separates it from western animations, and being as close to hand drawn as possible, at least imho, is absolutely necessary for an anime to be enjoyable. I’m even okay with some integration of heavy cgi/3D style models if the rest of the series has traditional style animation (Gundam series does this and it’s fine because the rest is so damn beautiful).

Like I said, Kara No Kyoukai is my favorite anime, and Ufotable certainly uses a lot of cg, but they have always done it in a way that essentially just modernizes and adds definition to what was already great about 90s-00s anime. Trigun in that style just didn’t work for me, and that’s okay. Just will never be my taste.
