You know what, I really didn't want to mention The Shadow Chronicles because it makes me sick just thinking about it, but I thought the exact same thing.
And in the case of cgi and cel mixing in animes... it's been done before and it's been done VERY well. Most animes you don't even realise that what you're seeing is CGI and the blending between the CGI and the cel style animation is either flawless or at a happy median that just simply works, I just wish they'd make that kind of effort with Frontier instead of what I'm seeing right now...
I also feel that they're purposely biting off more than they can chew with this... I mean you get a lot of people discovering that you can do all of these things with cgi and all that... but most of the time they never sit back and think for a second if it's really what is best to pimp it all out to the max.
I dunno, the whole Star Wars prequel thing comes to mind with this kind of thing. You want there to be some restraint and down to earth-ness in there too.
