If you want a taste of Japanese full CGI animation with cel-shaded characters, you can try the two Appleseed movies: Appleseed and its sequel Appleseed: Ex Machina. They’re pretty entertaining sci-fi action. It’s from the author of the popular Ghost in the Shell.

And yes I agree the CG is great in that PV. Not obtrusive at all and honestly looks better than some of the god awful 2D animation studios are putting out. It would really win out if it could stay that consistently good the entire season as well.

My first experience with Japanese CGI animation in television media happened a year ago when I watch an episode of Kingdom and it was pretty okay. But with Arpeggio, I'll definitively watch that once I realised that the animation in the PV looks great, it's a bit sloppy and glossy but still retains the typical anime style and I would be even more excited if the cast is the same as drama CD.

It’s the opposite for me. I can instantly tell that the characters are cel-shaded the moment they move. IMO anyone who have experienced watching cel-shaded characters before will (easily) notice it.

You seem to misunderstand something here, my saying “I can easily spot cel-shaded characters when I see them move” isn’t the same with saying “That cel-shaded characters SUXX!”. To put it simply, my previous post above you isn’t a criticism. I simply meant: most cel-shaded characters have some peculiar movements in them which I can easily spot. Arpeggio’s cel-shaded characters themselves aren’t technically bad, that much I know. So, you understand now?

I wonder how they're going to animate this considering the source material is still essentially somewhere in the beginning of the plot line.
Lots of awesome naval battles though which is sorely lacking nowadays.

Yes, I agree. Almost all Cel-shaded characters have peculiar glow and marionette-like motion (like I said some pages back). Those are the things that makes them distinguishable. Cel-shade itself is something between 2D & 3D, for better or worse.

As for myself, I didn't really see it. However, the clip is pretty short, the girls didn't move that much, and my eyes are getting older. I did see a few episodes of Appleseed XIII so I do have an idea of what Obelisk is talking about. I think I'll reserve my judgement until we can see some longer clips.

Even without knowing beforehand how much 3D this show was going to incorporate, the models were blatantly obvious to me. As for the quality... Eh. It's not awful. But it's not amazing, either? I don't know if this is the intended end product, or if a lack of budget is to blame. It reminds me of how I'd expect a bad anime-esque PS1 game to look... or something.
But there's certainly worse out there (some of which has been recently done, too), so I suppose there's something to be said there.

My guess is that Sanzigen Studio can’t do (or doesn’t want to try) 2D animation for various reasons. So they decide to just cel-shade the characters. They’re only known for their 3DCG works after all (no 2D works so far).
