>Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime, so it seems that Dragon Ball has grown on me [so] much that I can't leave it alone.
Thoughts? Could this embarrass Toei enough to push for a higher quality?

Come on Toriyama, it wasn't that bad.

Which one?

Based Toriyama. Fuck Toei.

Hmm

I'd say TLAB, at least it tried to stay true to the story.But that doesn't make it less shit
i can save it, he's dragonball and he catches ghosts

Toei will shove some wads of money in his throat and Toriyama will keep quiet.

Dragon Ball Evolution by a long shot.
>Directed by some nobody with a degree in film production
>So unfaithful to the source material it's practically a different franchise
>Can easily be ignored
The Last Airbender was heavily advertised, directed by M. Night Shamalan, and it's overall a much longer and more tedious film. You can't ignore it or forget about it.
Toei once again proving they are one of the worst
>>136346992
People had no expectations for Dragon Ball, the Airbender fags I worked with at the time were all sorts of hyped and were fucking pissed the next day.
>>136346992
Most people have already forgotten there was an American live action film adaption of Dragon Ball. While M. Night still wants to create a sequel to TLA despite it being released in 2010.
All these fags falling in a trap.Learn japanese
>>136347143
DBE also had Chow Yun-Fat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na1lyN-8Q1M
Huh. I didn't see until now, but the animation in the Blu Rays is actually pretty okay. It's at the same level as Z, if not slightly better at some parts.
Of course, this is just one scene, so who knows what the rest of season 1 looks like, but it's better than Toei leaving the broadcast versions unedited for the DVDs.
>>136347392
That's what it says though.
>>136347392
It's true though

>>136348237
It doesn't.
Well, not from what we've seen anyway. The preview for the first U6 arc episode looked pretty bad, and if they always choose the best scenes for the previews, I dont want to know what kind of anus display we'll get.

Yeah, I had the same reaction when I read it.
>>136348237
New Precure season is starting soon so don't expect too much.
>>136348408
Not to mention that we know from an animator working on Super that the scheduling is fucked up and beyond help.
Why is the animation quality so bad? the DBZ name alone is enough to draw a lot of viewers and long term fans, so why cut the corners and churn out some horrible low budget garbage anime? Is it just to save a few bucks? Are japanese people that jewish?
>>136348553
Are you new to Toei?

this is what happen when you were born after 1996, /a/.
>>136348630
I wasn't born after 1996 but I can see the post anyway.
Can you explain that, genius?
Should have went the Gundam Origin or Unicorn route and release higher budget OVAs.
Most of the old Dragonball fans are old and you can't get away with that low quality shit.
>>136348553
Toei is doing way too much shows so their shows' schedule is always fucked up to the point they have to out-source key animation and tweens.
IIRC, Digimon Tri's animation has been totally out-sourced because they couldn't manage to animate it.
>>136348553
its no different from any anime in the last 10 years that exceeds 2 cour. at that high of episode count, you simply cannot make every one of them look up to standard.
people think its some extreme outlier of shit quality. these people must clearly watch very few anime at all, maybe none whatsoever since the last time dragonball was on TV. it would not surprise me. this is a normal level of quality in modern anime.
>最後に、そんなドラゴンボールを好きでいてくれるファンのみなさん、本当にありがとうございます！！大感謝！！であります。
Oh look, Toriyama thanking all the nostalgiafags for still liking this shit.
I think we can all agree that Toei should have just continued producing big budget theatrical films every year alongside the manga, instead of churning out this pit stain of an anime that's literally kicking the brand name in the balls.
>>136348909
You don't understand their business model.
Daytime TV shows don't need to sell well. Theatrical films do.
>>136348968
But this is Dragon Ball. It's hugely popular in Japan, and with Dragon Ball Heroes as big as it is, it would be easy to market the movies via new characters, features etc.
Resurrection F alone made 62 million, when the budget was just 5 million.
>>136349094
>But this is Dragon Ball. It's hugely popular in Japan,
Exactly. And for as long as enough kids are watching the show, they're getting mad money from the channel. They also get to sell merchandise.

Turned out to be shit instead and now we get Word of God to lay the final nail on anyone who defends this piece of shit.
Blown the fuck out. Eat shit, DB fanboys, and drown in Toei's feces along with your shit outdated franchise while your god Toriyama laughs all the way to the bank with your stupidity in lucrative crystallized form.

More proof that Toriyama just want them to stop raping his creation. People say he lost his mind but he only gets involved to try fix their mistakes.
He wanted out of it long time ago, but they can't stop milking it and without him at the helm it goes to shit every fucking time. Super is just the new GT.

>this is a normal level of quality in modern anime.
No it fucking isn't. Even the Pokemon anime looks like a high budget movie compared to Toei's cheap shit.
>>136350047
He won't say something like that. Too controversial, may some years down the road. At the moment he is just taking jabs at the poor production levels.
But you can infer from this that he didn't come to Toei with any new ideas, they came to him with their shit fanfic and it was apparently so bad he felt the need to step in an rewrite it from scratch. That's how Battle of Gods came to be. Doubt he is involved to that extent on everything that came from it, specially the show. So he decided to express disapproval publicly in hopes fans take it from there and Toei gets shamed into doing a half decent job for a change.
>>136350273
Where that comes from? Who is the source?

Apparently the episode has Bulma reference some of the Freeza arc filler that Ginyu takes over her body make me believe that it's Toei's scrips and it is an continuation of the anime not the manga.

Cell animation is basically time-less.
Anime got prettier as time went on, but that's because Japan had to learn how to do anime on minimum budgets which did require some additional fine-tuning.
>>136351312
The episode after this one didn't look nearly as good, though. Better than most of DBS but still not great; let's not fool ourselves into thinking that DBZ looked great all the time.

>>136351625
The thing is, it still didn't fall down to the level of Super, and especially didn't do so every single fucking episode.
Also the choreography was a million times better.
Toriyama of all people should know what to expect from Toei.
>>136351775
At least they bothered to keep the still shots on-model which makes it better than a huge part of DBS.
>>136347067
>>136348363
What does the greentext say?
>>136351625
Well, varying animation quality in TV anime was the norm back in the early 90s. Super, on the other hand is coming out in 2015-16 were having consistent above average animation is to be expected.
Dragonball evolution is the a movie that would have improved if I myself wrote and directed it. I could do way better. it wouldn't have been a terribly good movie, but it would have been Dragonball.
I don't care what people say.
This scene was extremely comfy.
>>136346867
>Could this embarrass Toei enough to push for a higher quality?
Never.
>>136346943
I'm starting to understand why recent garbage like Jurassic World or TFA got such high ratings.

Straight from the man himself.
You fags cant deny it now. DBS has shit animation.

...SUDDENLY, EVERYTHING NOW MAKES SENSE
>>136346943
It was fundamentally bad, anon.
All the characters were cast incorrectly.
The story was shit all over in favor of being a shit Karate Kid ripoff.
The CGI and props were lazily done.
The makeup on the characters was even lazier.
Has Toei ever made something that's (animation and visual quality-wise) on par with big guys like GAINAX, Madhouse or Production IG?
>>136352231
Toei was THE animation studio back in the 60s.
>>136351625
there were 3 teams on the original dbz

Super is all reject team, all the time

>>136346867
>Could this embarrass Toei enough to push for a higher quality?
I doubt they could even if they wanted to. Their competent or otherwise talented animation staff is presumably spread too thin across their ongoing yearly productions.
And a lot of the time it appears that the new blood they brought in were either bottom-of-the-barrel scrapings from the rest of the industry or are just too green to bear fruit.
They are quite literally not the studio they used to be. The old are getting to old while the young are too young.
>>136352552

Ah, these were the days. Back when Dragon Ball Z was Toei's top priority anime, and they put all their money and effort into making the show as enjoyable as possible, knowing they would make it all back ten fold thanks to the huge fan following and merchandise.
Now look what it's become. Besides the new movies, the franchise is a poor display. Why can't Toei just do another Z and make a hugely successful and memorable series? If Z made money because of how good it was, why can't they just make Super good?

DBE gave us back Toriyama and was done by a nobody who did almost zero damage to the franchise. The Last Airbender movie was followed by a certain shitty sequel series I don't mention and it appears Mr. Twistmaster wants a new live action movie.

HUH wans't Toriyama the one who order the animation to be shit? Now i kind of respect the guy
>>136353624
It's either Toei, get absurdly lucky with a studio that's willing to do a long running anime because ???, or deal with 13-26 episodes and then probably nothing ever again, ever.
>>136348553
Because Toei produce anime in bulk. They make so much anime that they have to outsource most of the animation work to Korea because their animators are already overworked.
Toei currently creates like 6 ongoing anime series at the same time. There just aren't enough animators to handle all that work.
>>136355071
>Korea
>>136346867
Nice to see a creator speak out for his property against a big corporation doing a shitty job on it. Toei really needs to be called out more often, for how big, storied and reach they are they're disgustingly cheap on a regular basis even by long running series standards. I mean fuck Hunter x Hunter ran almost 200 episodes too and you never saw it's production values just absolutely crater like a Precure, One Piece, DBZ and what not. Sunrise for example is able to run several hundred episode long Shonen/Shoujou series as well like Gintama, Keroro and Aikatsu without constant noticeable and embarrassing drops in quality. It literally just seems to be Toei that has this problem to this degree.
>>136348553
They have Bandai kicking in tons of money and trying to help review it too as part of the production committee so it's not an issue of funding either. There's really no excuse other than lazy shitty animators and outsourcing.
>>136355108
Like I care about the specifics. Point is they're a studio that makes more anime than they can handle making. Which is why the vast majority of it ends up looking like shit.
Honestly the anime industry as a whole is dangerously over-saturated right now and the quality of the works produced reflects it.
>>136355258
Toei are the only studio who try to make more anime simultaneously than they can realistically handle. It's not about one series being long, it's about making several series at the same time.
>>136346867
That's not surprising, the man was not even satisfied with what was coming directly from him! (remember how he liked only one drawing of his in the first Art Collection, claiming the rest were failures compared to what he actually had in mind?).
So don't expect him to easily accept even things that are perfectly fine, he's an extreme, ever-unsatisfied perfectionist that can't refrain to come back to his work, that's what he's saying.
He's certainly not saying that Super is bad, he's taking the blame on him.
He complained about the anime back in Z, he'll complain in Super too. Except Super is good enough for him to actually keep an eye on it, when he didn't watch Z at all if I'm not mistaken, even when his kids were. But then again, my memory may be playing tricks on me.
In other words, Toriyama doesn't say Super is bad, Toriyama says he's just annoying and never satisfied, which keeps him coming back to it. And that's good for us. :)
His sentence is to be interpreted as "I've been like this for a long time, and even now, I nitpick about the new anime when I really shouldn't". Which is why it's being published in the first place, it is not a criticism on anything but himself.
My dream is that Toriyama will get so angry he will show toei how to do it and start drawing dbs in jump weekly, no offence to toyble but he ain't as good.
Will never happen.

Nice kanzenshuu copy and paste.

Toei is several degrees off from having the caliber of animators Sunrise studio 1 has even at the OVA or movie tier level of animating and their best work like One Piece Strong World. It'd never end up looking like Unicorn, Origin or Thunderbolt.
>>136348754
They need to consider sub-dividing their teams like Sunrise does which generally allows them to keep schedule even when they're handling like a dozen things at once. There are of course incidents like Code Geass though.
>>136349094
Resurrection F was actually a pretty good and competently made film though
>>136355346
>Except Super is good enough for him to actually keep an eye on it
It is actually so bad he has to keep an eye on it. With DBZ he knew they were basing it on his work, with Super it's just Toei interns brainstorming, he can't let them kill his lifework years later.
>>136347682
Isn't that because his daughters watch Precure?

Sales
As of March 17, 2015, 1.5 million copies of Dragon Ball Xenoverse have been shipped worldwide.[53] The game was the second best-selling for PlayStation 4 on PlayStation Store for the month of February 2015, behind Dying Light.[54] In April 2015, Bandai Namco Entertainment announced that more than 2.5 million copies had been sold.

It can't be helped in this case since a TV anime is better advertising. Toei's profits soared after Super started airing.
Toei should just go with 3D animation. Theyre really good at it for some reason compared to Bones, Sunrise and Kyoani.
Those precure eds are bretty good.

Yuko Minaguchi, she's also the voice of Hotaru in Sailor Moon, another failed Toei reboot that's so bad Premium Bandai seems to have stopped pushing the merchandise for it in favor of the original series aesthetic and has possibly withdrawn funding for it as well.
>>136352538
In terms of series length to overall average quality ratio I don't think anyone really tops Sunrise though Madhouse did extremely well with Hunter x Hunter 2011.
>>136349791
Nah. Toei's just don't give a fuck. After all, they think anime is for kids. Period.
If they do anime aimed for adults, they make the animation good.
It's not like Precure is consistently good looking. Certain seasons look good, but it's overall as cheap and ugly as your average Toei anime. People just think everything looks like Heartcatch/Smile/GoPri.
>>136352231

The art direction is quite nice here.
You need to watch their original shows, like Kyousougiga.
>>136353599
One of the things that people liked about Z was watching the characters progress in strength. Now that the main characters all have essentially incomprehensible levels of strength, you can't portray that as clearly.
In order to make it like Z again, they almost have to start over again from the beginning. Maybe tell the story of a future generation or something, Don't give anyone a Super Sayian transformation until well into the new series, so that way it will mean something again.
They also have to axe the formula that they've gotten into.
---------------------------------------------------------
Another thing that they have to do is to get off their repetitive formula for a bit.
Lately all DB has been is There's a new villain who's stronger than the last one, and Goku has to beat him. Dragonball has always been like this, but they also had other important stuff going on such as Gohan and Krillian going around Namek collecting Dragon Balls, while at the same time avoiding enemies who were a lot stronger than them.
But lately, they haven't gone off formula very much. It's just been Strong Guy shows Up, Goku has to beat him, repeat.
>>136352538
It airs on a primetime slot. You don't air shit in golden time. Why can't people understand this? Compare Aikatsu that looks shit compared to precure, uses crappy 3D2D shit and even looks like precure.
>>136356002
They simply don't have enough 3D animators at the moment to work on anything more than a movie. The second GoPri ED + the second part of the GoPri movie were animated by the same team, and according to the director, they had 20 people, including those who "helped out".
>>136355757
That's almost 10 years ago.
>Toriyama literally badmouthing/apologizing for Super
Holy shit. I thought Funimation straight-up ignoring Super was a bad enough slap in the face.
Did they ever explain why they bothered rehashing the plot of the movies, but fillered-out and with shittier animation? More importantly, has anyone heard anything about a third movie covering the Universe 6 arc?
>>136356602
But Aikatsu also airs during prime time? Precure has better animation than Aikatsu, if much more inconsistent, but Aikatsu has some of the best and closest-to-2D 3DCG in the industry.
>>136348553
It's a long running show. In most cases it's quantity over quality with those.

Saint Seiya Gold just recently wrapped up. They had to delay the fuck out of Digimon Tri much to the dismay of Bamco, took almost a decade to get Expelled from Paradise out, Sailor Moon Crystal is bi-weekly and everything they do looks like shit.
Why does a company that has the workload of their next two biggest contemporaries and more or less aligned studios combined able to get shit out relatively on schedule Akito The Exiled not permitting and yet still have almost all of their stuff look more or less noticeably above the industry average? Does just nobody else besides maybe Kyoani know how to schedule properly?
>>136356822
That shit airs on primetime? Wow.
>>136346867
Sweet, then can we get a weekly Dragon Ball Super manga with Toriyama doing the story and Toyble the art?
>>136356602
Are you sure you don't have that backwards? A quick search for Aikatsu QUALITY turns up no real results while a quick search for Precure QUALITY turns up plenty of stinkers right away. Not saying Aikatsu is this amazing looking series, but in what universe does it look like shit compared to Precure of all things which is infamous for its valleys of animation quality.
>it's better than DBGT they said
>>136357336
Still true.
>>136357336
That's not a very hard thing to accomplish.
>>136357162
Isn't Sunrise the biggest anime studio around though? And A-1 is the outsourcing master.
Also, replace Tri with file(N): project PQ and add the Miraculous Ladybug OVA and that 3D movie project they're working on. Tri is completely outsourced to a different studio.
>>136357300
It's more that Precure has higher highs and lower lows than Aikatsu. Though it just sounds like >>136356602 doesn't know what they're talking about.

I recall some state-of-the-industry article from about half a year ago about that mentioned how Toei Animation meets a certain criterion where they can't reap the benefits of government-funded studio animator training programs and are expected to create similar programs of their own for new animators they take in.
They're reaching a point where they're no longer properly staffed for the work they intend to do.
It's speculated that a number of their recent projects were formulated in order to give more experience to those animators at a quicker pace than they've typically done while remaining cost-effective using the franchise name.
>>136357300
Thats because they like to bash toei. "Since its been done by toei, there must be full of QUALITY scenes!". There's too much prejudice on sunrise.
>>136357209
Precure still has the highest ratings of all little girl shows despite the failing Sunday morning SHT timeslot, somehow.
>>136357506
Fairy Tail is a co-production with Satelight.
And Crystal isn't 100+ episodes.
Is Queen Bee the Toei of hentai?
>Highest quality animation from Dragon Ball Super was the Earth exploding
There's a hidden message in this fact.
>>136357650
I've never heard about this before. Does that have something to do with their studio being the only one with an animators' union?
Aikatsu has good to bad animation tops. I hate it when they go 3D when they start singing and dancing though. That's just being lazy.
Are they at least fixing it on the BDs, or is it doomed to forever be shit? I wish Toei wasn't so incompetent. It'd be nice to see stuff like DBS and One Piece actually well animated and well-paced. Then again the blame probably falls more on people eating this shit up every week and telling them "we don't care if it's shit, give us more!"
>>136357670
Well assuming they adapt all the sailor moon volumes, they'd go for a 100.
>>136350015
thats cause GT was not his story
this is his story they are ruining.
>>136357765
Aikatsu is Sunrise.
>>136351775
actually its perfect animation of the comedic moment being presented. I believe its praiseworthy. the problem with super is that everything is so stiff. nothing is fluid at all which doesnt allow for moments like the one here

Toei has more employees but isn't subdivided, funded and vertically integrated top to bottom by a megacorporation like Sunrise and A-1. Also yes A-1 generally does a fair bit of outsourcing, often enough right back to Sunrise like with SAO, GATE, OreImo, Sora no Woto, Silver Spoon, Servant x Service and Fairy Tail. Really a good chunk of their catalogue even. Sunrise also doesn't even have as many active employees as Kyoani for example.
Also looking up the list of stuff outsourced to Sunrise in order to confirm some shit I found Prisma Ilya, Guilty Crown, Psycho Pass, Little Witch Academia, Steins;Gate, Yo-Kai Watch, Wandering Son, and Madoka Magica on the list. I don't know how to feel about that but it kind of explains a few things like why some scenes, looks, and instances in that show remind me so much of Sunrise smooth animation and shot framing. This has been enlightening since I had no idea they had a hand in so many hits that technically aren't even supposed to be there's on top of their own ones. Jesus Christ maybe they really are the most influential studio of all time then.
Toei knows how to do things though. They do good animation when the scene or episode needed it. So SoL crap has crappy animation while the fighting arc has average to great animation. It just so happens Dragon Ball Super is full on action show.
>>136357933
If there's an outcry, then they'll fix shit like DBS and SMC. Or for adult-oriented anime.
Otherwise, (I don't know about OP, but for Precure) they'll only correct animation and errors up until the episode airs. They don't go back to fix them afterwards as there's no incentive to when kids don't buy discs.
>>136357984
There isn't enough material for that. There are five arcs in the Sailor Moon manga and they've been pacing one arc per cour, so it would be 70 episodes at the very most.
>>136356822

I couldn't get the quality to go well when making this in order to meet the upload size limit but this shows that the show could look pretty slick without having the resort to 3D if it didn't have to be several hundred episodes.

>>136358237
I don't know. They adapt 2-3 per season. And Sailor Moon all in all has 18 volumes.
>>136346867
Dragon Ball Super has bad characters, bad story, and bland fights. Why does it matter if it's well animated or not ? good animation won't suddenly make this anime worth watching.
Sailor Moon Crystal got the original staff replaced after people cried enough.
>>136358561
The same writer from the Dark Kingdom and Black Moon arcs in Crystal is still on though.
Crystal S3 will (probably) look better, though.
>>136358561
Only the character designer. The director left Toei after the shitstorm.
>>136348553
You can firmly blame Oda and One Piece for the terrible quality.
Oda, who cares so little about how the One Piece anime is made as long as he gets his paychecks and the Japanese viewing public who stomached the shit pacing and horrible quality of the One Piece anime without complaint.
They set the standard for how Toei treats their series. I mean, if One Piece THAT LARGEST MOST POPULAR ANIME EVER is allowed to be treated like mass produced garbage, then why shouldn't Dragonball get the same treatment?
>>136356545
they now have gohan who can progress once again in strength.
as much as gohan haters will deny it. Gohan is the key to making super great
>>136357984
The Sailor Moon manga is not that long, they need like 30 episodes to tell what's left of the story. It's only 18 volumes long, 12 in the new version.
>>136348093
>>136358713
The quality for OP was acceptable for over a decade, I dare say animation holds up until as recently as the start of Punk Hazard when Film Z stole most of the budget. It's typical japanese mentality to not break this up this long relationship and start a shitstorm for the last 2 years of garbage.
>>136358975
>Animation holds up until Punk Hazard
You're fucking blind then, the animation went to shit back at Thriller Bark.
>>136358130
Sunrise is basically the anime industry, considering how much things are connected to it.
>>136358081
Pretty much this. It doesn't matter if the character model is inconsistent if the animation is good.
Problem is DBS doesn't have both.
>>136356545
I think a huge mistake they made was introducing the idea of a super saiyan god. once goku and vegeta achieve godhood, how are the other characters supposed to keep up? are they all supposed to become gods? SSG Gohan? SSG Gotenks? God Namek Piccolo?
What they should have done is have characters like Piccolo, Buu, and Gotenks continue to train and actually keep up with Goku and Vegeta, kind of like in the android saga when Piccolo became the strongest, then Vegeta and Trunks became the strongest until Goku and Gohan went into the time chamber

>Precure still has the highest ratings of all little girl shows despite the failing Sunday morning SHT timeslot, somehow
It seems little girls don't watch little girl shows anymore. That mean they watch Super and One Piece with their brothers or just play with their smartphones. I can't blame them though. Little girl shows stop being fun a long time ago.
>>136356743
Funimation are going to work on DBZ Kai -THE LAST CHAPTERS- on Toonami before pumping out DB Super if I recall correctly
>>136360659
It's hard to have any passion for the show when the animators are starving phillipinos working 12 hours per day
