There is a lot of ordinary "bad anime" being cranked out today-- most of it rote translations of dull fantasies about being very powerful in an RPG video game-- but less of the ambitious insane blockbuster failure oldtaku like me remember from the 80s and 90s.
Enter Studio Gohands, best known in infamy for the ambitious insane blockbuster failure Hand Shakers. Gohands is ideologically committed to a very particular and strange style: heavily CG-lit, over-animated 2D characters on top of photo-real CG backgrounds.
Gohands series look like what happens when video games try to look like anime and reach a strange animated uncanny valley state, like Time and Eternity.
Anyway, they have a new title out, trying to chase the "cute girls do a thing" genre. You can see most of Gohands' quirks in the trailer: impossible clothing and hair with every strand moving independently for no particular reason, water balloon boobs, aggressive lighting.
"So what? That's just a style!" you might say. To fully understand why people are so morbidly fascinated with Gohands, watch a little bit of Hand Shakers. It's one of the worst anime TV series I've ever seen. Every time they reappear, people are kind of hoping for something that bad. It builds character, yknow.
