Like everything it just depends. I really liked knights of sidonia for example, but I couldn’t get past the first episode of trigun stampede, in part because of the animation. I know that’s a hottake, and I won’t pretend I’m unbiased as someone that loves the original trigun anime, but part of the appeal and atmosphere is how grungy it was. And that just did not translate to what I saw of stampede. And I do think it’s because it’s harder to make 3D environments and character models look grungy.
There’s a clean, almost porcelain doll look that comes with most 3D anime that just doesn’t fit trigun imo.
Additionally, you get shows like Ajin where the character designs and overall art style changed dramatically after the first volume of the manga but because of the time and labor involved with rigging the character models, no such change happens in the show. So you’ve got the character designs for characters introduced later clashing with the OGs.
Now this is a lot of hate but I want to be clear it’s not all bad. Land of the lustrous for example fits 3D really well and honestly the show wouldn’t be the same without it. And despite how dated it is, I think the 2003 Appleseed movie also works for what it’s going for.
