It's certainly something I'm interested in getting answers to and you would think the tech would be capable of doing better than what we're seeing right now. I just think ultimately there's an artistic, human, hand drawn touch that you might never be able to automate with silicon. If you look at something like Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, which is the best looking animated movie I've ever seen, that is essentially cgi with tons of cutting edge compositing and FX on top of it. I just don't know how you get around the man hours needed to create that super polished look. The new Arcana show on Netflix has a similar look to Spiderverse and I'm hoping that look might replace this low rent cgi stuff that is everywhere right now.

I'm not a fan of the CGI trend at all. This is probably the only show where I'm willing to overlook it and admittedly it is not exactly terrible. When DeMarco announced some new projects on Twitter a month or so back the CGI topic was the first thing that came to mind and several other people chimed in about it too. Apparently there's a whole labor related aspect/controversy to it as well. Animators overworked and under paid etc.etc. That topic was brought up directly to DeMarco.

Aha nice....thwarted his magic.

Helll yeah...nicely done by Toonami

oh the Turing machine makes an appearance in Black Lotus...nice

"quarter demon" what a pejorative 😄

I mean Production IG did it to their owned prized property with SAC 2045. There's obviously some type of financial/production related calculation being made that trumps artistic integrity.

Definitely. Elle reminds me of the Arise version of Major quite a bit.

I'm curious if they're using gaming engines like Unity or Unreal to make these shows.

Could this be a hypothetical GiTS prequel? 😁

Fight Club

dope car tho

Believe me I'm just as confused by the trend but it has to be a budgetary thing. The new League of Legends show on Netflix has really upped the bar for the CGI centric stuff however.

Totally agree on Elle. Compared to the way Major looked in that newest GiTS it's a big improvement.

Were kind of stuck with this CGI style for certain projects I guess. I've seen way worse. It has some nice lighting and FX so far

Who's the bigger inspiration for our MC? or is there even a difference? 😄

he barely grazed her 😆

Definitely. An original Blade Runner inspired show created by and for Toonami. It's kind of crazy

This is a serious premiere. A long time coming and born from a legendary IP.

Definitely citing real research there

Very 🔥 indeed

😢

Trial by fire

Wow all Korean and Japanese animators and artists mostly.

He looked just like don corleone there
