History SpecialEffectFailure / AnimeAndManga

* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds''' suffers from this when it displays the CGI models of the D-Wheels/Duel Runners, in which the character riding the D-Wheel/Duel Runner is rendered as well, resulting in a plastic model-esque look. Particularly annoying, as when this is in 2D it looks ''much'' better.

* Part of the StylisticSuck hodgepodge of ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Adventures Of Mikuru Asahina]]''. The EyeBeams ''suck'', plain and simple. [[spoiler:Except for the first one, which, thanks to [[PhysicalGod Haruhi]], ''actually shoots [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]]''.]] [[spoiler:You only really know this if you read the second novel or watch the second season; otherwise, you just see Yuki attacking Mikuru as what is definitely not part of the "script".]]

* During the fight Ripple and Top Speed vs Calamity Mary in episode 9 of ''LightNovel/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'', we have a jarring scene of Calamity Mary firing a machine gun where CM herself is just a still image, and her hand and her machine gun are on another layer, being vibrated back and forth.

* In one episode of ''LightNovel/MySisterMyWriter'', Suzuka's mouth comes off her face and appears as a separate object.

* In ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', Chibi-Usa's character design, which is rather unfortunate-looking.
** Arguably this trope applies to a majority of Sailor Moon Crystal's first/second season (which was released and marketed as one season, but retroactively declared to be two seasons with the release of Season 3), which has received massive criticisms for poor animation. One particularly noteworthy issue was that the transformation sequences featured CGI, which stood out pretty badly with the rest of the animation style. Luckily the next season fixed the transformation and numerous other issues, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1FpmTdGtu8 but this side-by-side comparison gives a good idea of how the first two seasons went.]]

** The main failing of the CGI used for the Transformers themselves is that it renders them utterly incapable of emoting beyond combinations of "eyes closed/open/slightly more open" and "mouth open/closed". Never do they feel like they have weight, and even such simple movements as turning around are accomplished by the robots' stiff CGI models spinning around on their vertical axis, without moving their limbs. On several occasions, in order for characters to more properly emote or move (such as Inferno screaming in agony during the torture scene in "Imprisoned Inferno", the show ''switches back to traditional animation''.

* In ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', Chibi-Usa's cringeworthy character design, which looks like they plopped a teenage girl's head (complete with the full, plump lips) on a toddler's body.

* The Blue Water dub of ''Manga/DragonBall'' had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er1kOz5w9iE&feature=related this]] as its opening. Ignoring the fact that the song could give any of Creator/FourKidsEntertainment songs a run for their money (it was translated from the French dub). The non-anime sequences are marred with horrendous-looking [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects CG]].

** ''DYNɅZENON'' also unintentially plys this straight with its regularly alternating use between 2D and 3D models of the title mech and Gridknight. With the 2D versions being far more dynamic and fluidly animated while the 3D is done the same way as the kaiju.
