It's worth noting Itano wasn't involved in Frontier or Delta, but I wouldn't rule it out considering he was involved in Rakuen Tsuihou and Gundam Origin. Nevertheless, that unfortunately misses the point of Itano Circus. It's not just meant to show a massive cluster of homing missiles but also demonstrate exceptional technical prowess. Ultimately, it's a tool like any other and can be abused as well as it can be used. In complicated rotoscoped cuts, you can often see the artist's poor grasp on perspective emerge in wobbly lines, which is a symptom of relying too much on their advanced tools. CGI rotoscoping has actually been used as far back as CCA and Stardust Memory, but in those cases you'll see that the art is still extremely crisp because it's simply used to eliminate the extra labor of linear projection rather than skip it entirely.
