Essential Dragonball Super? New series set after Majin Buu saga

[Danny_Duberstein]

Is it just me or was this probably the best animated episode so far?

Definitely, no corners cut this episode. The overall jump in production value from the first arc until now is amazing, didn't seem like it would get any better early on

The main thing is they actually have a decent schedule now. The budget and shyt is the same, but now the animators actually have time to do shyt instead of rushing shyt out to meet deadlines.

the fukk yal have no idea what you're talking about

this episode is filled with stills, repeated animation, lazy nonsense where the animators just drew lines over a background, and drops. the shots where 17 and whoeverthefukk are coming at each other, they just throw random impacts around them like there's other people fighting

Repeated animations were part of the satire in the episode. Beyond that, you need to put your expectations of quality into the context of a weekly running anime targeted towards a juvenile audience. Their goal is just producing something passable enough to maintain viewership. No reason they couldn't slow the release schedule and give us OPM quality, but that's not their prerogative. Same thing you see now in comics and US animation, the only concerns are deadlines and $$$. The quality of DBS went from embarrassing at the beginning, to now being watchable. It'll never be on the level of DBS or DBZ, times changed.

It'll never happen, but I'd love to see them return to traditional hand drawn/painted cel art. Great digital work is possible, but it's just not the same

DBZ wasn't a beacon of great animation either tho. The movies usually looked great but you'd only get really good looking stuff in the series every 5 episodes or so until the Buu saga, which was way more consistent. Them Uchiyama episodes

How do yal manage to say the animation is great, then backpedal immediately when pressed?

Instead of drawing characters with crayons, they've moved on to not drawing shyt at all.

and the episode is filled with shyt that don't even make sense. 18's on the screen and seeing random shyt blow up at one point and its just like.... we don't know what caused that explosion but okay lol

shyt's entertainment but yal gotta stop with this gas

"No corners cut"

cmon breh

 

[FunkDoc1112]

lmao when have they NOT done the black lines shyt to demonstrate fast movement? You're reaching like crazy for the sake of complaining.

 

[MollyGalaga]

Technically speaking, Kai.

Z has a lot of filler that wasn't actually in the manga. In fact the whole concept of Kai is DBZ without the filler.

Sounds like the plan
Although i do like dbz filler, i rather the steady track and not anime only bs

Is it me or was these hoes transformation a not so subtle shot at Sailor Moon

Nobody reaching except yal. There's times when there's great animation (the last freiza fight) then there's time when they leave the office early and forward some bullshyt up to editing before taking a long weekend.

Do you want me to pull up a bazillion scenes from DBZ and various other anime that do the same shyt or something...?

Cell saga had no shortage of DBS level fukkery, but Buu saga definitely held it down in regards to consistency. And the movies quality is a given, there's no excuses for any slack to be taken

 

[MollyGalaga]

We don't care. shyt was a waste of time and a garbage episode.

And toei doesn't care

It's another anime that Toei also produces that's inspired by Sailor Moon. They actually had the same staff from that show working on this episode, and their series director storyboarded it.
