Before Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse , computer-generated animated films had never been particularly stylized, with 3D animation being more prominent in the West than in Japan. Nowadays, however, more and more studios in Japan are moving to full 3D production in some places, as evidenced by titles such as “Dorohedoro” (which finally has a second season) and “Trigun Stampede.”
