No matter how many times I try to watch one of these shows that use this clunky, low polygon count GCI, I just end up disgusted and feel like these studios just consider us all suckers.

Netflix seems to be the biggest purveyor of this, but it seems to be cropping up everywhere. I can think of only one reason they would peddle this is that it’s considerably cheaper to produce.

I’d like to that if the story is good enough that you could look past the bad animation, but I am constantly ripped from the story because it, no matter how hard I try. Because it’s so prevalent now, it makes me wonder if most people just aren’t bothered by it, or maybe even actually like it.

Here are some of the shows I’ve tried watching.

  • The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh
  • Trigun Stampede
  • Exception
  • Godzilla Singular Point
  • The Dragon Prince

Am I being over critical?

    Nah, it’s the “new” animation style, I think it was pioneered by RVBY a few years ago, because you can get really smooth animations but still keep the anime “style” but I agree if everything looks like this it’s kinda meh

        Wow! that’s really impressive.

        It’s clear that they have the tech to do it better because there are some great examples out there, but this really drives it home. I much prefer the aesthetic of ASW and would welcome more shows if they used that system. Hopefully more studios will take the challenge.

        Thanks for the info!
