I'm completely unfamiliar with this, the black and white is certainly novel, the facial expression bit looks great.
But for me at least the 3D CG animation is quite obvious, if you care
-The walking looks off to me, specialy the long distance shot.
-The way she lifts her head and stops suddenly twice @1:55s.
-Lack of lip syncing @0:12s
But then all of these are good/excellent
-the first exchange right at the start, the way she turns her head is quite excellent 10/10
-Her both eyes bit
-All of the old guy scenes
-All of the hair animation looks good/great, helps due to black and white too.
Anime and CG is certainly a tough combination, trailers will always pick the best parts and I hope it wont be bad enough for people to notice and get mad.
Otherwise there is nothing "wrong" with it, Land of the Lustrous was a major hit and it is quite amazing and its 3D CG so its not impossible or anything.
I think the CG is mocapped so it looks rotoscoped, and then they cranked the fps down into anime range. That gives a subtle uncanny valley effect, which is just perfect for the source material I think.
That the reception so far has been largely positive in general (where other Junji Ito anime adaptations have failed) is in part probably because every frame looks exactly like a panel from the manga.
