Obviously there have been some amazing advances in production/development technology over the past decade or so and we are now seeing more and more anime being produced in 3d or a 2d/3d hybrid style.
I'm talking about Final Fantasy: Advent Children, Blood the Last Vampire, Ghost in the Shell, the Animatrix.. and on and on. 3d is starting to become more and more prevalent.
And then we have the classics such as Akira.. 100% hand drawn magnificence.
What do you guys think about the gradual introduction of 3d into what used to be a strictly hand drawn arena? Does it lessen the artform? Does it turn anime into a cheap gimick of technology, or does it pioneer some new frontiers for us?
This could be an interesting debate.
