Was there use of cgi in the first ep. Because in the first season I saw no use (if I can remember correctly), where as this ep, at times the animations looked 3d and not smooth. Still this ep was amazing

Pretty sure everyone uses CGI in their animations. People only complain when it seems blatantly out of place. How many people bitch about all the random CGI cars in transition scenes?

Yes there was, only once.
It was when Tooru used her spell and poured some purple liquid on the omurice, the liquid was in CGI. (at 6:47)

Like most shows these days, Maid Dragon and Maid Dragon 2 uses CG here and there. Mostly for background objects and cool perspective shots. The show is just so damn pretty and they're so good at making it blend in without you noticing too much on your first run. To pull a single example from the episode that just aired, when Kobayashi is on the train, those hand posts flopping around are definitely CG.

There might have been but it fit in so well that I didn't realize, and the animation itself was smooth so no problem with me :)

It wasn't even noticeable and this is a SoL, why should we care or even notice this?

Because CGI done bad is an eyesore.
But even if there was terrible CGI in this I'd ignore it despite how much it bothered me.
I'm just glad KyoAni is alive and kicking again.

If OP is refering to some of the animation in the skits, I believe it's more of a stylistic choice. It would be useful if they gave some specific examples. In terms of season 1, I can remember the scene in episode 2 where Kanna and Tohru were 'roughhousing'. The shot that was completely of grass swaying to the wind was definitely CGI. Otherwise, there is always the occassional use of CGI in background vehicles and background non-named characters.

That wasn't CGI. The purple liquid was drawn, and the effects on it were put in post to make it appear more glossy. Besides, they've got enough experience animating liquids at this point from Free! over the years that there isn't a need to use CGI for this scene.

If anything, the only CGI used in the episode would be background cars, the scene with the handles on the train, and potentially the scene where Ilulu is introduced as she descends to the ground and where Ilulu and Tohru were fighting mid-air whilst the camera was slowly rotating around the city. There's also the ending sequence with the rotating buildings/structures that match each of the chorogons.

Otherwise, the CGI was used rather well imo.

Why do some people in this thread think that asking if there was CGI or not is complaining about CGI? people feel attacked or something?

Everything uses CGI.
If you notice the CGI, it's badly used. If you don't, it's well used. Simple as that.
