Bad Seafood posted:I've probably missed the bus on this discussion, but individual frames are a poor standard for measuring quality since a lot of framework is deliberately "Bad" or "Weird" because they're going for a particular effect like a character snapping dramatically from one position into another one, or moving very quickly. What matters is how it looks in motion. In this case it's more the fact that the studio is animating like 8(?) shows at once, most of them long running.

Could be a concidence, but is it a commonly used example?

I am not watching Dragon Ball Super either, but I suppose Toei is trying to do too many projects at once and that's what hurts the animation quality. They should still have the opportunity to fix stuff for the physical releases and presumably Funimation or whoever licenses Super will pick up that version.

Yeah that is exactly what they're doing but it also means that people who watch when it airs are technically getting an unfinished product. And I mean, it's not horribly despicable or anything because you don't directly pay for an episode when it airs on TV like you would with a video game or something, but it still colors people's first impressions in a negative light and hurts their enthusiasm about the show, so it's not the best game plan. Super's animation is mostly decent though, just every now and then it dips into really conspicuously bad territory. It's neither the first nor the only major anime to have this issue, but it's an issue all the same.

Have the Japanese fans of the show been complaining a lot? Because they are the only ones who are actually paying to see the first run episodes of DB Super.

I wonder if Frost is really a dick and the nice stuff is all an act, or if he's just that desperate for Champa's help that he's willing to do some sketchy stuff Either way this Piccolo fight is going to be rad

Piccolo lost, but only because Frost cheated. Hell, he fought smart the whole fight. Big Green's no jobber. Poor Cabba was heartbroken that Frost was a cheating jerkbutt. Also Goku's fear of needles is completely justified now!

He's Freeza with much better P.R.

Piccolo/Frost is a pretty cool little fight, yeah. Who'd have thunk a tournament arc was what Dragon Ball needed? And now Vegeta gets his wish of smashing (not!)Freeza's face in. I wouldn't have minded if Piccolo got another fight tho, he was doing all his old poo poo against Frost.

gently caress you Frost, making me think you weren't a piece of poo poo. Let's go Vegeta. I guess this also means Goku's getting reinstated after Monaka loses to Hit because he was cheated out.

What a loving terrible episode. All we knew about Frost that made him likable and cool? Everything's a lie, he's just the third coming of Freeza, because we needed more of that instead of a new and fun character. Piccolo fighting? Hah, gently caress you, he loses even when he won. He even gets to use the stretchy arm, completely in vain, because Vegeta tells him to quit and he quits even though he should've continued because gently caress you and gently caress the audience for liking someone that isn't a Saiyan I guess! It's like they did everything in their power to gently caress this up, wow.

It's not even an interesting concept. To be honest having an honest to god twist is a more out there than the lame bad guy turned good thing. Which has been run into the ground.

I don't get how people can call this a good twist. It contradicts literally everything we knew about Frost and ruins a genuinely original character to make him a character that's had far more spotlight than he really needed. It also makes a race that had already been shown outside of canon to be mostly good with a few evil outliers into...pure evil, again, inside canon at least. And it leads to "Goku and Vegeta take down literally everyone" which was exactly what I expected but also what I desperately hoped would not happen.

This one was tho, just say you don't like it because it's not what you wanted to happen instead of pretending there is some objective reason it is bad.

ah yes the hot internet arguments of "it was bad" "nuh uh" "yuh huh" Personally I'm glad the twist means I don't have to be disappointed when we never see Frost again after this arc Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Mar 6, 2016 |

Frost is probably the most interesting villian in all of Dragonball really. Though that is a low bar to clear.
