I started Girls Band Cry because I saw it won bronze for /A/OTY 2024, and it's... a 3D anime? Why are we suddenly okay with this? Are Hatsune Miku MMDs anime now too? To rate this so highly is a slippery slope. Or have I fallen for some practical joke?

There's a voting bloc on /a/ that will vote for anything in the "cute girls making godawful music" genre as AOTY. Don't think too hard about it.

>>290076154
I guess that explains Bocchi the Rock, Oshi no Ko and Bang Dream...

Christ, if even Nips think this is the future of anime, that's extremely grim for the industry.
>>
>>290076439
Not the future of anime. Other studios don't have the money and resources to pull it off like Toei did.
>>
>>290076113
>Or have I fallen for some practical joke?
You did, I watched it for a similar reason and I was really disappointed, even towards the story
>>290076469
Thank God, we don't want CGIshit

Incredible how people who didn't finish the show are bitching about it. It's not 2007 anymore, no one cares that you got filtered by their CGI.
>>
>>290076439
And another thing. How much of a newfag are you? Houseki no Kuni and Kemono Friends won 3rd and 4th in 2017. This isn't anything new. Wait till you see what /a/ picked for best short anime of the year for 2025.
>>
>>290076408
Holy shit taste! So shit you might actually get infected just by looking at this chart.
>>
>>290076530
I ran out of anime I really want to see so I decided to pick at random from the AOTY chart, and that's when I realized that the anime was 3D.
>>
>>290076564
One of the most beloved shows on /a/ from almost 10 years ago is 3D. You're so painfully new.
>>
>>290076469
Wait so this is MORE expensive than just standard digital animation, and they still went for it even though it's an artistic downgrade?
>>
>>290076657
Do you not know anything about CGI animation?
>>
>>290076679
No I'm still in utter disbelief that this is so accepted now.
>>
>>290076734
>now
Like I said, almost 10 years ago
>>
>>290076113
Lurk more. Once in a while /a/ thinks 3D is ok, like that other show about rock(s).
>>
>>290076988
I feel like 3D-only anime should come with disclaimers, like how stuff with generative AI needs to be disclosed. It's a good thing I didn't lose any money over this at least.

Thats just not true.
It all is personal tastes, and probably would show age a decade from now, but unless you're some 50 year old "back in MY day" bitch there can't be much good reason to have an absolute hate for anything 3D.

I basically always hate 3DCG in my animu but it worked well for GBC. It looks very nice and fluid, at times even charming.
You eventually stop noticing it, which is the highest degree of praise for 3DCG heh.

You have to remember that the style of television anime was born of parsimony. You can get something like Gokushufudou on screens for nothing, and elevating up to stills that actually look good doesn't cost a whole lot more.

Nips are weird. Some of their picks make perfect sense but some are absolutely attrocious. You can also see the ranking getting worse from mid 2010s and onwards.
The industry has gotten stagnant and the viewers became stupid, but I wonder what came first.

GBC was 200M yen per episode. Eps 3 to 8 were produced first and those have the highest quality, cause staff had to make an impression on TOEI execs to avoid cancellation of such an expensive project. Scriptwriter Yukki Hanada did SoraYoriMoi (Antartica), Stein's Gate and some 3 dozen other top-rated animes. GBC and its IRL band TogeToge are super popular throughout (South) East Asia. Those who dislike 3D can already read the traditional B&W japanese manga or the south korean webtoon adaptation from next week (full-color, partial animation optimized for mobile devs).
Anyhow, few westerners have a problem with 3D in GBC, the stubling block is usually MC Iseri Nina's difficult personality, with FAQ being: Why she wasn't kicked out of the band on day 1 and substituted with a more amenable vocalist. Why Subaru isn't the MC? On the other hand, GBC is big in Japan and Asia because of how precious Nina-chan is.
