Title says it all. No studio other than MAPPA has had as many anime butchered using poor CGI.

Anything close to a decent sized % of people (20% or more) who think the CGI is bad is a massive misstep for mappa.

And no, the argument " but they have to use CGI " is not a reasonable argument. MAPPA chose to use CGI. The creators of the show chose this.

big studios use it to rush out an anime yes. doesnt make it the right call. you dont see kyoto putting out clunky ass cgi to make sure they can release 8 anime a year. same with studio trigger

cgi was always gonna have to used to animate chainsaw man considering the way the manga was drawn, it would be really difficult to only use 2d animation for this. I don’t understand why people are even trying to criticize it considering it literally has amazing animation with good directing as well.

I don't have any prob if they use cgi. but the prob is the cgi is too cheap and low. denji looks like a stick man. cgi ruined the show.

It adds to the quality. The movements are more fluid and smoother for the chainsaw man revving it up.
Props to Mappa. They are working smarter not harder.

They are cranking out production a lot quicker with other projects being piled up.
I say they are saving themselves extra work and doing what's convenient of them.

Lower because the 2D art style is clearly better. And piss poor shading ruin the depth perception causing the model to not blend in well.

Because it can be drawn with 2D; it's just they can not draw it without 3D due to the rushed production to work on other productions. It is clear that due to there greedy production committee they do not argue with, every single entry they produce have some avoidable flaws. Many shows had well down CGI or complete 3D for what is hard to draw today because Anime was less produced back then.

They do not deserve the Oscar for your poor stories. But the CGI is de facto superior.

I have seen many CGI animation and let me tell you this is pathetic. Gantz:0 and Kengan Ashura are clealry better because we can they were real bodies and not plastic all the time. Something MAPPA clearly lacks.

Toei's CGI is amazing. Of course they can't compare to their 2D work at their peak but it's still great to look at.

I think CGI anime that is entirely CGI is fine, and even has the potential to be great. Something designed to be wholly CGI in style works very well! I even think small CGI supplements can be used in 2D works. But when CGI is used to manufacture the chief action/dynamic parts of a 2D work, it is very clear to anyone watching with a brain that this a crutch to get around having to animate it in 2D. I just thing it's aesthetically unpleasing, and a better balance could probably be struck - but most times I see it, like here in CSM where the central transformed Chainsaw Man is a CGI model, it just doesn't mesh well and looks kinda weird and jarring.

Both styles are valid, it's all in the execution. Either can look terrible if it's done sloppily. The integration in the first episode of CSM wasn't super seamless in my opinion and it stood out negatively for me, but that doesn't mean CGI is inherently inferior.

Exactly. I think Pixar and Studio Orange produce great works animation wise. I think if you design an anime that is ENTIRELY in CGI, that is great and something that can be great. Even when the CGI can be a little more jank (Kemono Friends), that can even still work fine because of the totality of the aesthetic and that everything in the canvas works together. I've long thought though that a mostly 2D anime, where the central complicated pieces (say, all mecha produced in the 2010s and onward, or Chainsaw Man in this anime) become CGI and work isn't put in to make it aesthetically blend - the results feel subpart and at odds.

CGI in anime is meant to mimic 2D style with less effort and time that would be used when doing all in 2D. That logic and comparison don't translate to western animation, in which shows can either be made entirely in CGI or 2D. Western animations are not meant to mimic anything in the first place, they have their own style that are already accepted by the public. You don't break your immersion in every action scene because of CGI if everything is CGI.

CGI looks clunky and could use a bit more blending honestly. Very fluid so I'd say it's still great, but lesser than expected. It would be interesting to see it weekly after Bleach's more polished animation and cgi.

Disagreed with the first line, most of the cgi used by mappa in various anime has been high quality and no anime was butchered. Stop posing your shitty opinion and hatred towards a studio as a fact. Step out from this forum and twitter and one realizes that the cgi used by mappa has been so good that most of the general audience can't even tell the difference. You all can keep trying to create useless threads like these. Nothing changes the fact that the episode was fire.

By this logic, it wouldn’t matter where they put the CGI since they have so much to work on. I don’t think you would really forgive a ice cream man if he substituted your ice cream for iced milk on the bottom since it’s easier to make and they have a lot of orders to fill, lol.

I never really understood bad cgi or good cgi. Too me csm cgi looks good enough. The fight scene is more fluid and blend together. The one anime I can compare is to The God of highschool. It looks way much better then TGOH. Everyone act as if all CGI is the worse thing on earth like ex-arm. It safe time and it easier for them to make. It's a 20 minute show not a movie level production.

Don’t even listen to these people bro they know absolutely nothing about cgi and how it works you literally cannot make a continuous rotating chainsaw with 2d animation it just doesn’t work like take other animes that use 3dcg into account like initial d you literally cannot animate a car doing a drift in 2d animation it’s just not possible that is why 3dcg is used for continuous rotating movements like the chainsaw and the cars in initial d no aot is definitely an exception here it definitely didn’t need cg but it doesn’t make it look worse people just don’t know shit about it that’s why they complain.

Why is there no middle answer?

I think the chainsaw man himself would look better in 2d, but I'm completely fine with the 3d backgrounds.
