A-1 have been working on CGI techniques for this show, from Anime-Expo last year....

Rivera: What's the strongest combination?
Ueda: We formed the strongest party around with Aniplex and A-1 Pictures.
Rivera: What's the next stage?
Ueda: The next stage of our development is to make something that would supersede Gundam. I think we need digital technology to achieve that. At A-1 we've experimented with a couple of 3D animation technologies. Let's take a look at a couple of those.
Rivera: These are original clips.
[Clips of 3D objects and action scenes are shown]
Ueda: Thank you. 3D needs to be prominent but the most important thing is a good story and plot. I hope we'll be able to show our new original robot animation as soon as possible. Please look forward to it.

And to be fair anyone who isn't Bones and old gainax have no choice but to go for 3d animation when it comes to mecha with 2d mecha animators being an a dying breed.
