Why does the cgi bother people so much?

Why does the cgi turn people off so much that they won't give this new adaptation a shot or even go as far as slandering it? Seems exaggerated and childish to me.

Studio Orange is the best CGI studio in Japan and this adaptation won't turn out like berserk or ex-arm.

This is the most important project of Studio Orange. And they have also confirmed they will be pouring everything they have in it, they have their best staff working on it. Beastars and Houseki no Kuni looked amazing. And every new project of Orange does as well.
Besides the Madhouse adaptation is incomplete and mostly anime original. Sure the art was great for the time, but being 2D doesn't automatically make the animation good. Cgi is easier to produce, adn with the right schedule and staff, it can look way better than anything Orange or any other japanese studio has done before, 3D animation wise.

I thought the reason why I'd prefer even oldschool 2d animation vs modern CGI when it comes to characters in particular (for mechs, effects, ships, even some monsters, I'm all fine with CGI), and a main reason has to do with PRECISIVENESS. So, something like this obvious looks good & even older ones look good even with dated animation as it's still precise but retains the retro charm of the era:



But CGI could match it too in that case. However, when it comes to animating characters, that's where the awkwardness comes in CGI . For our case with Trigun now, it looks good for CGI, but ... floaty & while it has some good expressiveness, for CGI, it still doesn't match up to something that came a bit over two decades ago. So it's like, can praise it for being good CGI, better than other CGI, just how like someone could praise dubs for being good dubs, better than other dubs, but it ultimately inferior the OG.

To put it bluntly, the trailer is visually egregious, and first impressions count; sorry for not wanting to brown-nose Orange.

Regarding reactions and backlash to the new trailers, I believe that people have every right to be up in arms over a series getting a new installment after nearly 25 years, only for it to be subject to radical redesign that in no way reflects nor maintains original stylistic elements that its viewers grew to appreciate. CG animation is and will continue to be subjective and controversial, but regardless of your stance, you have to at least recognize that there is a stark contrast between the two in terms of animation, arguably one of the main components of an anime to begin with.

To be cognizant of this massive change yet still label warranted backlash as childish does nothing but further display your own naivety. Attempt to empathize and perhaps play the devil's advocate to your own opinions before creating blatantly-opinionated topics that shame people for not seeing the world exactly through your own lens.

You have got to check yourself there. The art wasn't "good for the time", it's just good art. it's like saying that Michelangelo was good for his time but Salvador Dali is better just because his work is newer.

Just pointing it out because it's a weird take that I see a lot, where people state that older anime looks bad, old, or "good for it's time", even though it's just drawn in a different style and has a different approach to colour use.
