I personally haven't seen much of that myself, unless you happen to count me in that apparent group; in which case you clearly didn't pay attention to my post. Honestly, the only complaints I've seen are from small, but vocal elements within in the furry community who disliked cgi being used to replicate fur. In a very technical sense I'd agree with them, although the emotional core behind dislike likely comes from a different place. It certainly wasn't enough to completely ruin that show for me (that problem lay entirely with the story structure & themes). As for Godzilla, again their goals were noble and the passionate... I also don't think it remotely worked in that show, but that conversion has been repeated by enough people by now. Ultimately, I think Orange are the strongest cgi studio working within the tv system right now. They're nothing short of ambitious re: the projects they work on & they have a talent for hiring director who can get the most out the tool they're give; however, I also don't think they've broken free of the issues common to other cg productions, chiefly organic designs such as human, animals, monsters, etc. It worked for Lustrous in the same way artificiality worked for Toy Story, but other than that their strongest output has remained mecha designs/battle choreography, such as with Akito the Exiled & Majestic Prince. I've certainly not seen anything from their previous works to suggest a Trigun adaptation will break that mold, but hey, with Lustrous proved anything, it's that I'm more than happy to be surprised. I'll just sulk until then. Last edited by fathomlessblue on Thu Jun 16, 2022 5:30 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Yep, they were purely work for hire, so the decision lies chiefly with Kodansha & Toho. I was still holding out hope, given that the adaptation was by all obvious metrics a success, while the manga remains popular, but I guess the long production cycle & expense has put them off. Frankly, the absurd amount of piracy in the western fandom certainly doesn't help. If everyone who claimed to be a fan actually helped financially support the manga, we might have seen a different story. Unfortunately, scanlations & memes don't pay the bills |

This doesn't make any sense. You can do anything in 2D animation. There's no limit to the medium that CG has an advantage over. There's been a lot of manga with detailed art styles that do just fine in 2D animation like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Vinland Saga. Additional CG elements can help 2D animation if done right, but I don't really think the notion that a manga's art is too good to work primarily in 2D makes sense when the art was 2D to begin with. I think most of it is people just grateful they have any adaption at all and willing to accept CG over nothing. Trigun was a series more popular in the West than in Japan so I wonder if that's a factor here: either CG being more accepted over 2D for the average American or the bigger studios focusing on more popular works and CG studios were all that were available for Trigun. I know CG studios like Polygon Pictures and Orange seem to more western focused than others and have worked on Western series |
