Yeah, I noticed that too. But Rurouni Kenshin: The Rememberance is actually one of the better attempts at blending GC with animation. Sure it still looked out of place, but it was not super-noticable and the creators were not GC Trigger happy so it was used sparcely.
However when I was watching Shin Hokuto No Ken (Fist of the North Star OVA) there was a group of guys driving through a desert on cars and bikes, the men were drawn but the vehicles were CG and it really made me cringe, so I guess it depends on the anime and how well its blended. As long as they don't overdo GC then I have no problem, but when entire backgrounds and vehicles/robots and loads of special effects are CG then it really looks out of place and stuck on. Those are the times when I wonder if CG should be used in anime at all.
