Because it's going to make Toei lots of money no matter how much effort they put into it?

Yeah that's actually true. I don't know why I forgot that after seeing the poo poo they pull with other shows I like. Toei has never given a poo poo about quality, should've known that after seeing what happened with DBZ and what happened with One Piece during the later years.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

No one is going to see Fantastic Four. DBZ has already won this gambit.

dragonball super has a higher "budget" than dragonball z

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD18bzL3sJM

this guy was the animation director for episode 5. he's one of toei's older and better action animators, and animated a ton of fight scenes from the original dragonball z (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybiFm958WV0)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTsLhkL9bTc

this guy guest animated on it (he doesnt work for toei, and he's primarily a robot animator)

and it looks like crap

its amazing how bad scheduling can wreck a show, huh?

I've watched the original run of Dragonball back in the 80s and I am pretty disappointed in how Super is animated and colored. It feels rushed and cheap. Like a flash animation. I'll still watch the series and get it on Bluray when it's out though.

Bonus Yamcha sucks so much they made a toy figure of him dead.

Dragon Ball has had like, what, 20 different studios work on it during its time? Something like that?

A lot of them did some subpar work.

I mean there was the Metal Cooler movie, so... yeah. Things would get pretty bad, even when there was more budget to throw around.
Maybe it's faulty memory or exhaustion but I'm pretty sure there are even some GT scenes that look even worse than that.

Always been quite a grab-bag in terms of animation quality. Hell, compare that to previous episodes within Super, like, say, Vegeta's Family Vacation episode.

In between frames never existed before the 2000s, and even if they did they were perfecccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccct




Don't get me wrong, I get bummed out by sloppy art as much as the next guy, but it's not worth getting that flustered over. I honestly wasn't impressed by the choreography/action animation in Revival of F, but it was still a fun movie. Would have been better if it was more like BoG, though.

Even ignoring the individual cells of artwork that Goku vs Beerus fight had all the dynamism and fluidity of Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes, it honestly does look worse than it's twenty year old predecessor. This whole show has felt incredibly phoned in and rushed, the slice of life episodes have been incredibly dull too and nearly devoid of jokes and the pacing is glacial, I think I'm done with it

If your love of DBZ is pure, I'm sure it can withstand someone saying a mean thing about it. But as I don't intend to watch any more of it, I expect my complaints will be fewer, yes

You made me go look up who actually directed episode 5 and lol its Iwai, he's boring and terrible. I dunno what he's even doing on Super, the schedule must be mega tight for him to even have time, since he's still actively working on the show he mainly works on (Precure).

Yeah DBZ had some shocking animation, I don't think anyone would disagree, but in a new series with a bigger budget it shouldn't be this awful so early on.

A frame here or there is excusable and understandable even, mistakes happen. That image is the type of stuff that was happening for most of the episode and it's not excusable at all.

Is it wishful thinking that the animation was so bad because they already did this fight in the movie and don't want to put forth the effort a second time?

So why didn't they just cut up the movies into episodes and add some new footage for padding, seems like that would have been the more sensible route for this than doing it from scratch

Why would anyone go buy BoG on DVD/BD if they're broadcasting it in chunks on TV for free?

RoF's Super run will be the same deal, of course.

And nighttime show "buy the bd" stuff is generally censored boobs, they don't intentionally make it look like poo poo, anime production is just that broken

Have people seriously never seen a low-budget episode of an anime before? :psyduck: I mean it isn't a good looking episode but the "The ORIGINAL never did this" stuff or the laughable argument "this is modern, ergo it has a bigger budget" is sort of bewildering.
