When I first saw Gunbuster recently, the fact that EVERYTHING was hand-drawn lent it a certain quality that made it even more pleasing to the eye, and I can't explain how that works. And yet it does.
I agree, the Evangelion rebuilds are probably the clearest demonstration of the downgrade. They recreated scenes from the original shot for shot and they actually look worse.
At the same time, the Jujutsu Kaisen anime adaptation is an awesome example of what CGI assistance can do for animators. I can't imagine that the complex cinematography would be possible on the same budget.
Rebuild is still much higher production value than much anime farmed out to the lowest bidder. I think this scene shows off character and cinematography.

I still need to see those movies.
I saw the series and End (ADV dub of both). Hoooly cow, no wonder this show is so beloved.
I wish I'd seen this 20 years ago. Wow.
