Everyone thinks they can imitate the look of 2D animation by just slapping a cel shade filter over their ugly CG models (and in Japan's case, deliberately sabotaging the frame rate) and calling it a day.
I recently saw a great 2d animation compilation, made me miss old school animation. Sure, stuff wasn't always hyper dynamic but I don't need that always. I prefer backgrounds and actually good looking characters to dynamic movement and same-y looking chracters in everything.
This is the 4th report labeled a violation of Rule 12 over 2D graphics.
Shut up, reporter. That's literally not how anything works. These are opinions I literally could not care any less about.
Land of the Lustrous... Aaaaand... That's it. And that's a show that's watchable ONLY because it's the only show that does 3D-CG-as-2D somewhat decently as a case study, it doesn't really have any other merits.
It CAN be done... But... That anime is years old now, and they've not reached that level of approaching-decent CG animation since, so clearly it is too costly or difficult to do. And they did every cheat in the book: The villains are non-Euclidean, the protagonists are animate stone golems, the scenery has minimal details, they did everything they could cheat at to make it work, and it... approaches decent.
