How an AI Anime Is Created 21 hours ago
Agree 100%, once you get things into 3D with a camera the possibilities open up, and it's very on-trend anyway.
Family Guy's Korea team famously did this early on. So did some major animes like Trigun (surprisingly early).
With Genshin Impact / Honkai Star Rail, I think the trend of "anime in 3D" is only intensifying anyway, and that's totally aside from your mentioned use case of just making it easier to automate shots and transitions to perfect fidelity without AI artifacting.
