A lot of CGI in anime is just bad. The thing is though that I a lot of people don't actually argue against it because it's bad, but because they just don't like it in anime. There is just an irrational stigma against CGI in anime in terms of the aesthetics. Like, no one really argues that the use of CGI for enhancement effects is a bad thing. But people are upset when their robot or whatever looks fully rendered.

This is not to say that there are not CGI anime that people don't enjoy. But I also think a big factor is that the expectations on how good it should be are set too high. Like, yeah a lot of CGI in anime is just flat out bad, but some of it is acceptable given the medium. Like in the currently airing Girl in Twilight, people complained about the CGI... but I'd say if you complain about it there your bar is set too high.

Like people originally complained about High Score Girls CGI too, but that ended up being a really good show and people kind of forgot it was CGI in the first place. HSG is a show that I think would not have been nearly as good if it was made in a more traditional format.
