Off the top of my head all these shows are animated the same way:
Invincible
Castlevania
the Tomb raider show
Korra
Even real anime is affected. The Evangelion rebuilds look so much worse than the original. Shinichiro Watanabe's new show Lazarus is doing its best, but unfortunately it's also a downgrade compared to Cowboy Bebop.
I don't know if this is a question of budget, time, technique, or something else.

Almost certainly technique, and mindset. Because it's very competent, it's just missing something.
Someone linked episode one of the 2007 Madhouse DMC, and it just has so much more personality, even in crappy Twitter resolution.
Also, totally different genre, but just to show a recent example, I was really impressed by the art of Kowloon Generic Romance. Now there's some personality. Even if a bunch of it is just nostalgia baiting, it still looks absolutely amazing.
The same madhouse that did the first season of one punch?
Which is also a good example that just having decent artists doesn't mean something will look good, with how jank season 2 of that was there was some episodes that, if i remember right, there was a different director heading those particular episodes or certain fight scenes or something like that and it was noticeably better than other parts of that season.
The most obvious flaw compared to the original is the modeling of Unit 01 in dark scenes. The rebuild version has green panels that glow like a plastic toy for some unknowable reason and obscure all kinds of detail.
In general, the digital coloring and modeling is washed out, too smooth and uncomplicated, and lacks character. On both the people and Evas. Several neat little Eva interactions with the environment are also changed, mostly to their detriment.
Honestly, if that's the only reason then its a fine one. But let's not pretend that isn't waifuism instead of a mark of quality.
It does show you have a low bar for waifus though, as she is deliberately designed that way and is the only non-malicious part of the Rebuilds. As in, she was literally Anno simping for his own fucking wife and making her the "canon winner" of the series.

Yeah, wasn't trying to say everything is great, just differentiating from Netflix DMC.
Also, looked it up, looks like Madhouse did OPM S1, J.C.Staff was S2. Who actually also do some great work, but I guess not consistently.

What do you find wrong with the evangelion rebuilds, animation-wise?

You’re tripping on the rebuilds. Those were legit
If by legit you mean legitimately made as a middle finger to all prior fans, then yes they were very legit.
They are the sequel trilogy of anime.
If someone simps for the rebuilds, I assume they're a Mari fan.
Honestly, if that's the only reason then its a fine one. But let's not pretend that isn't waifuism instead of a mark of quality.

Don't let EvaGeeks see this.
While I agree the TV series is superior, I've seen some pretty impassioned defenses of the Rebuilds there.
No defense of it will make up for the fact that it was made with spite to the very people and IP that made Anno famous.
Its literally the Joker 2 of anime, except instead of a single bad movie everyone mocked it was a 10 year quadrilogy that a bunch of tourists defend.
Castlevania looked better than this.
It is also a sort of vintage Western animation style with modern influence (ofc from Japan). It's just better.
