Your brain reacting to 2D VS CGI

If I need to watch it repeatedly to get used to it, doesn't that mean its not too good?

or u could be not used to it

That’s not true. The problem is that it’s 3D pasted over 2D so it looks bad. CGI is great if it was stand-alone but over the anime it’s not. I’ve watched some chinese anime and they’re 3D and it’s not that bad because everything else is also in 3D.

idk if you realised that but many buildings in S1-3 were CGI as well as the forest of giant trees on some scenes. so i don't see the how foreground CGI can't work with 2D backgrounds like 2D foreground works with CGI background

I just feel like you all just love to hate on it or something.

Berserk CGI was horrible from the what i've seen and kingdom season 1 idk been years since i've seen it but i remember it as bad, but yeah aot CGI is far superior to all CGI i've seen so far.

'CGI is amazing'.

Doesn't mean shit compared to 2D animation. The CGI might be good compared to CGI used in anime, doesn't mean it's as good as good 2D animation in the slightest.

Comparing CGI backgrounds to moving titans is just a horrible take as well and makes zero sense. Integration is completely different. Trying to match the frame rate in implemented CGI usually always fails.

Moving CGI in general requires much higher budgets and time to look good. And trying to integrate it in anime to look anywhere near 2D quality requires heavy rotoscoping done well.

Houseki no Kuni looks great despite being entirely CGI due to great integration. Dorohedoro looks good but still lacks compared to any great 2D sequences in anime

yeah, born in 2003, 17 years old, highschool senior, I do biology, making me a biology student. i didn't throw any dangerous life threatening medical advice that a karen would, just something i picked up from neurological system tests.

2D animation is indeed more dynamic but the scene with Reiner's titan felt dynamic as it would be if it was 2D for me.

Foreground CGI can be as good as background CGI,if not now (which isn't as good now, but close.), then in the future it will certainly be

CGI so far in the fourth season didn't seem rotoscoped at all to me personally, episode two which didn't have CGI (i think? didn't pick up any CGI at all) had most rotoscoping.

Houseki no kuni in my to watch list, it indeed looks amazing and better than some (around 30%,low budgeted ones.) 2D anime's that i shall leave unnamed for avoiding dramatical reasons. I look forward to watching it and appreciating CGI more!

Roger1 said:

It doesn’t work that way maybe because of how mappa is doing it? Just cause 2D works with 3D background doesn’t mean 3D will work with 2D backgrounds. You’re using science to say we aren’t used to CGI but when we say we are but AOT S4 CGI still looks bad with how they’re doing it, you can’t back your claims.

lmao, you think a bunch of science theories or whatever are gonna change their opinions about cgi??
No matter how good the cgi is, it’ll always be hated.

Kyxor said:

'' maybe because of how mappa is doing it?'' how is mappa doing it, for you?
as i stated the above, if foreground CGI isn't as good (it isn't, but it's still pretty good to my eyes) as background CGI at this moment, it will be in the future.

It looks like a 3D model out of place in a 2D world like when you use fake background in Zoom. CGI titans look great alone but looking at it as a whole, it doesn’t. Yah it may get better in the future but as of not, it isn’t. I don’t hate CGI if it fits like how chinese anime are doing it but unfortunately, it doesn’t in aot. I can’t spoil here but imagining the final acts of the story in CGI titans and everything else in 2D looks horrible.

PrasantGrG said:


I was mentioning here that usually the best use of CGI would be to model for rotoscoping.

The rotoscoping in episode 2 was done using either a real person model or CGI. Can't tell for sure though.

There are multiple examples of Mecha anime using rotoscoping over CGI models however which look great

I see many of you complaining, even crying and wailing for CGI, so here's a thing or two from a biology student who knows a thing or two about the brain,

The first thing that'll come into your mind, what does biology have to do with this???!
Okay so, in simple words no details:
Your brain gets used to seeing stuff and aot CGI isnt bad at all so it will eventually get used to it and when you rewatch the series you wont be complaining as much due to your brain getting used to it.

I'm a living proof of this. I was feeling as uncomfortable as those CGI complainers when I first started watching movies with real actors 2 years ago, but my brain got used to it, because it wasn't bad. It's all about your brain getting used to it. Your brain is used to 2D, thats why you can accept it easily. CGI is amazing. Armored Titan reiner episode 1 CGI made my eyes drool.

NextUniverse said:
OP wtf?

what happens in the case of those who watch anime with barely unnoticeable cgi. how can you explain them when they get annoyed at the cgi. not everyone is the same as you lmao.

SAMR030 said:



The thing is i actually prefer a cgi titans except monkey titan and i enjoy the movement which are done by cgi
Like armored titan

Hiro4ka11 said:


i like the cgi in ssss gridman too. which is i dont understand why there's many people dislike it.

simply we have been taught by marleyan that cgi is bad(lol) so no matter how good it is.so if we using "Hate" filter too see it. it gonna be look bad

It's not like 2D and 3D are properly demarcated ontic categories. Aesthetically they are means of achieving arrangements of form into illusion that can become symbolicalliy appropriated by the audience.

The only thing slightly bothering me at the first watch was the Beast Titan. After rewatching a bunch of times, it doesn't anymore that much. The rest looks absolutely great.

EmilioRodriguez said:
I think the CGI is great. S3 p2 had problems to animate the armored titan in 2D and it didn’t look as good as S2 armored titan or S4 CGI amored titan imo. The jaw titan from S4 is one of the best looking titans I’ve ever seen, much better than Ymir’s 2D titan, in my opinion of course

AnimeLeviathan said:
Dont know why I read this as I have no problems with the CGI. But for me I try to enjoy a show I like as much as possible. As long as the fight next week is decent, I'll still love the anime.

The way I see it: It is what it is, I get complaining the week it came out but about 6 weeks has passed. Complaining isn't gonna get them to magically change the anime from CGI to 2d. So just try to enjoy it as much as possible. If you start hating AOT because of the CGI it means you were only there for the action, not story. If you dont enjoy AOT just drop it... Its just entertainment there is virtually no point in watching something you dont enjoy other than hating on it to boost your ego.

You can always choose not to watch the Anime, or not to post in the forums about how much it sucks, instead of spreading negativity, and let us fans able to enjoy the CGI have happier discussions here.
