As far as the animation is concerned, I have to agree it was on par with the best I've seen. The character animation only bothered me for a while before I learned to ignore it and "just go with the flow." Many of us prefer the classical "cel" style for characters. When the entire world is rendered in 3D I find the contrast to be too much most of the time. I prefer a conservative usage of CGI to the point that there is seamless integration into a standard look and feel. While I will watch a show no matter the animation style, the preference is not to be visually abused by drastic changes in the way the world appears.
