THIS.

We've been over this already. Look at the art and animation in One Piece. It's shit as well, but it still gets perfect ratings since One Piece is one of the most popular animes in Japan since Dragon ball. Toei could probably put out fucking stick figure-tier animation and people would still watch because it's One Piece. But they're obviously not gonna do that since they have to make it look like they're putting SOME effort into it.

This is all just a freaking cash grab. Make no mistake about it.

Except that when it's time for a big showdown or important battle, the animation quality improves all of a sudden. DBS has even less of that.
>>
>>139224372
Probably because they'll fix it in the BD. This has been going on for many years. TV broadcast version is usually not as good as the home video version because money and being on a tight schedule. Also, consider it's Toei so you know just what the fuck you're in for nigger.

Someone post those pics of DBZ under different directors. You just never realized for whatever reason but even the original DBZ had bad moments. Especially under that one fucker who's name I can't remember.

because it's a series that's been dragged on since the 80's even though the creator's heart hasn't been in it for decades. if people would just stop looking at it it could finally be laid to rest, although far to late for a dignified one.

It's not. DBZ was very inconsistent with the quality depending on the team doing the episode. What you posted belongs to the best team. Just look at the diferences between two episodes. Uchiyama was the DBZ cancer.

I cannot even understand why anyone would bother defending Super. It's not just the terrible animation, but even the ""plot"" is ridiculous, even for DB.

I don't want him to get a stupid strong power boost that somehow makes him God level.

Vegeta raging him towards SSJ is enough. Even if he's barely stronger than Frost, Vegeta would have set him on a right path.

Also, Cabbe being SSJ officially makes him the strongest on Planet Salad right?

thats your opinion but in my case i got into Drahon Ball thanks to the Buu Saga. It didn't take himself too seriously as the other ones were it felt just silly. plus it had great a funny fights like Gotenks vs Buu, Buu vs Gohan, Vegeta's death, Buu killed everyone on earth unlike Cell or Frezzer and the final fight and Genkidama was EPIC. For me the worst one is the Cell Saga. two androids more powerful than Frezzer?? BULLSHIT.

Unless you're referring to his portrayal in the manga, in which case, yeah. He was weak. Taken out in one blow, christ

No idea. All info on Trunks' timeline kind of just ends after he kills Cell and the Androids. Dragonball Xenoverse supposedly continues off from there, with the Supreme Kai of Time informing Trunks of his violating the rules of space and time by time traveling and pressing him into serving her as penance to which she secretly confesses that there was no real violation and she just wanted company

If it's any consolation, they explore the possibility of a larger role for him in Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai for the PSP, where he's revived by Future Old Kai to help fight Future Majin Buu. Can become Super Saiyan 2 and receives his Elder Kai unlocked potential boost.

Unfortunately he's not voiced by Dameon Clarke like in History of Trunks so it's kind of a hollow victory. Gohan and Future Gohan at this point are two completely different characters - it was better that their voices made that evident, even if Dameon Clarke's voicing him was the result of their not actually having an adult Gohan to work with prior.

>Future Gohan receives his largest video game role in Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road, where he is brought back to life by Future Old Kai to help fight Future Majin Buu, along with Future Pikkon and Future Bardock. In the game, Present Gohan and Future Supreme Kai go to the Sacred World of the Kais to obtain the Z Sword, only to find that Gohan cannot remove it and then says that they may need the "chosen one", which is Future Gohan. They bring Future Gohan to the Sacred World of the Kais, and he removes it easily compared to the other Gohan. Later, the sword is broken by Present Gohan, which frees Old Kai, who proceeds to unlock Future Gohan's hidden potential, after which Old Kai gives Future Gohan his life so he can help fight alongside the Z Fighters because Future Trunks is having problems dealing with Z Clones (clones of the Z Fighters), Future Janemba, Future Cooler, Cell, Future Broly, and Future Kid Buu.
