As the title implies. As much as I have wanted this to happen, I have also been equally fearful of the destruction CGI usage will wreak on this.

When it inevitably happens, this will be the thread to visit.

Otomo was one of the early adopters of CG in anime (Memories) and has made a film that's more 3D than 2D (Steamboy) so OP is probably right in expecting this new adaptation to have a lot of CG.

I just hope it's not 100% 3D. I get dizzy so I always have to miss out. Sad I have to skip Onimusha this year

@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.

Well, the studio which was in charge of the project a few years ago was Sunrise. I have noooo problem with that, as long as they put their top tier staff on the project.

@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.

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.

@TofuTehSurvivor Well just look at CSM. It's so good casuals can't discern 2D from 3D cause both look so good.

spriggan is a prime exemple how to adapt a manga from 80's/90's. mixes 3dcg with 2d animation. characters are 99% 2d while 3dcg is used for background, mechanicals etc.

@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

@Pyth79 I thought Beastars looked awful. Thought I would at least give it a chance when it premiered, but I could never get over the overall feel of it. There's something about how drawn stuff looks when animated at 22fps than CGI. I'm not sure how to technically describe it, but even Guilty Gear Strive looks like a way better than any CGI anime out there, and that's a game. Why can't they just detail stuff in CGI too look as good as that?

I don't know, does that make any sense?

Off-topic: Beastars would have looke 200% better if it used stop animation like the opening had. The entire show, animated like that. That's what I would rather see if hand drawn animation was just absolutely out of the question. Need more Rankin/Bass inspired stuff.

@ELtaaaaaa Chainsaw Man looks like the kind of show that could have benefitted from looking good to begin with. Not enough style points on that one. Haven't fully watched it yet, but not sure it would keep my interest based on it's style.

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.

Yeeeah, usually when you write "I already won" instead of, you know, actually winning, that's not a good sign either

Jesus Christ, this thread is depressing. CG can be good and/or bad, it just depends on the money and care the production is supplied with. Also, Orange does some very impressive work. While some of you might disagree with me (which is totes migotes okay), Land of the Lustrous and Trigun are works of art, at least in my opinion. Everything's great guys, we have something which could be amazing hopefully coming soon, why the pissing contest?

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).
