And your point is? Stuff that can easily be done in live action is boring even in anime. Isn't GBC done in CGI and not hand drawn?
I agree with the anon above you. Shows like GBC and even a lot of high school shows are boring and are not the "fantasy" type shows many of us cater to. Those shows are mainly for people that haven't been outside much or haven't really grown up.

This was all motion capture.

If you were older you wouldve seen all the bullshit. A small amount of parents banned together and were going to the media left and right and suing over everything they considered to violent for any kid. It didn't matter if you were 2 years old or 17 years old. They decided succeeded in getting all kinds of stuff off the air. If you werent 18 they wanted to control what kind of teen or childrens show you could watch. i like Thundar the Barbarian as a kid. They got that taken off the air and banned from  network for a long time. They even went after the Super Friends and the 1960s batman, He-man, etc. Parents said they were to violent. Anything they considered sexual was taken off the air. If it was a toon that a female character that was dressed to skimpy in their opinion it was considered to sexual and taken off the air. Wonderwoman was dressed to skimpy in the cartoons for instance and they said it was to sexual for anyone not 18. Much of it was the churches and women with religious beliefs forcing all that shit. They won with the media. They also went after video games hard as well as comic books and tried to get video games completely banned but they lost that battle. I'm sure you've heard of Dungeons & Dragons the board game. It was nothing more than playing a game like monopoly really. All make believe. We just made up stories and imaginary dungeons and shit. These days you'd just be considered a nerd but not in the late 80s. Churches went after that hard. They said it was of the devil and you were a devil worshiper if you played Dungeon & Dragons. Also video games were of the devil. That kind of shit played a big role in when I stopped going to church. All that bullshit churches and parents were pulling was nothing but insanity. They absolutely completely stunted anything animated on tv for like two decades.

Im just glad that bullshit era is over with. Be glad if you weren't alive in that era.

These days its better but still there are some things that cant be released here. Like Gushing over Magical Girls for instance. A release of a show like that by a U.S. studio would end up in lawsuits, firings and maybe even criminal charges

Mobile Suit Gundam was being aired in the U.S. the early or mid 80s. Was my first anime. It was taken off the air for being to violent. Strict media laws can royally fuck things up.
