I'm glad not all of the people have the mentality of CGI haters

Even the use of CGI in characters were even just split second or even from a distance and you won't even notice unless you pause every frame which is something you won't do if you're watching on live TV which is primarily their main consideration. Let's be real.

Kindly explain how the Armored and Jaw CGI in the pilot episode were able to portray those features that you're looking for in an objective sense.

Bruh, the reason we hate cgi is because it looks as if it came from ps2's best sellers. We have plenty of experience in how cgi works. I've watched countless of anime with cgi and everyone must know that if cgi is used too much than what thr anime can handle then it will look horrible. Like holy crap, it's just lazy work. Cgi is a lot easier to make than drawing 2d. What did mappa expect? That everyone would be amazed of the future for anime??? No. Cgi, if used wrong, ruins the feeling the anime is trying to portray. Heaviness, mass, density, small muscle features, feeling, fluidity, and satisfaction is a couple out of many things that cgi ruins if done wrong.

ps2, hmm ok boomer

IAmMyOwnGod said:

??? Ps2 isn't from the boomer generation though...

oblivious_22 said:
nope but your thinking and way of comparing CGI is... if you really think that the CGI looks like ps2 games CGI then, you should get your eyes checked ASAP

IAmMyOwnGod said:

As i said before, I said it in a hyperbole way. It's a way to compare two things that are closely related but still a bit of an exaggeration.

oblivious_22 said:
lmao, yeah Ik Ik, but its hyperbole ultra pro max version, If you would have compared to to the partly closer cgi like ajin aur knights of sidonia then I would definitely have agreed,(but aot still looks better tho) but never mind its okay

Looks like you can describe yourself quite accurately despite overloading your neuroreceptors with dopamine from binge-watching anime. Fascinating indeed! A quick glance over your profile page made my eyes roll tbh. Overly italicized sentences, cringy dropdowns, poor choice, and usage of colors. Oh, what a messy affair! Can't say I expect any better from a weeb. My heartfelt condolences to your family for having to domesticate you.

IAmMyOwnGod said:

Hehehe aight. Anyways, thanks for having this little conversation with me but i gotta go do some work i really don't wanna do.

I agree with everything u said up until this point.

You definitely don't need to pause anywhere to notice CGI. I dont know how many animated series / movies you've watched that implement CGI, partially or fully, but the CG used in anime, even when great, is noticeable.

Just wanting to make this clear because I follow this series with a great number of friends who all have different anime viewing routines and tastes, and they all notice the CGI and wish it wasn't there, ideally.

It's ok to defend the usage of CG in this situation in particular, due to tight schedules and other internal difficulties at the studio, but I don't like when the argument is pushed to the other side to the point where we are actually acknowledging that CGI is not even noticeable when it seems as if it pops out right off the screen for a vast majority of viewers, from my perspective.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hating CGI. Honestly, i hate it. I think it’s one of the mortal sins of anime. Part of what got me into anime so many years ago was the labor of animators that really brought characters on the screen into such vibrant life. Of course, I love the depth of story and characters themselves too but the animation plays no small part in my love of the art. I don't mind a little CGI that’s reasonably well done but i think it hurts to see one of your favorite series, one whose meticulously animated fight scenes and incredible character designs you’ve come to admire so much, reduced to rough, choppy computer generated images. It’s frustrating. I think some people may be addressing their frustration inappropriately or misdirecting self-righteous anger but i cant say i don't get where they're coming from. I even thought Mappa was doing a great job animating the series in the first 5 episodes, i was HYPED. But seeing the titan fight, one of my favorite parts of the series, i fell from such an incredible height. It was painfully disappointing. I understand what people here are saying about Mappa and the animators having a tight schedule and doing their best but you have to see where fans of the animation are coming from, too.

Agreed. Nobody would've complained if the all the titans were CG from the beginning but they are not. Yes the CGI looks good than the majority of the anime out there but when you look at the 59 episodes before it, its such a major downgrade. Its not that I hate CGI as a whole, but only in anime since its always done half assedly because 1) Weekly anime dont have that kind of budget & 2) they dont have that kind of time to make it look good in a 2D environment. CGI's potential is massive compared to 2D animation. Just look at all the animated hollywood movies, for example, Into the Spider-verse. It looks phenomenal and I don't think I've seen an animated movie better than it. Its a fully rotoscoped movie. But anime studios can't pull it off beacuse of the reasons stated above. I've read the manga and I was hyped to see the fight animated in its full glory but I just got disappointed with the episode. I stopped reading it a long time ago at the part which is only a few episodes ahead now, to experience the story in its full animated glory as it is a completely different and better experience than reading the manga, but after the latest episode, I just went back and caught up with the manga as it didn't seem worth it waiting one full week for a new episode just to end up being disappointed and now I think I like how the manga looks even more than the anime. Oh Wit, how much I miss you.

I sometimes get depressed too when I watch some clips of season 2 (peak quality of the anime) and watch the trailer. Mappa would give us the same quality and maybe even better than wit because the titans in the trailer looked very nice. Its just... they need at least 6-8 months more time but unfortunately kodansha wants the anime to air before the manga ends. The season is definitely good and has still good quality animation but looking at the events in the Final 2-3 arcs it just needs more justice

simply cannot understand how people can see this and still say the CGI looks fine
the trailer was a disgrace,they shouldn't have baited people with it
