He's a dubfag that thought Z was the first anime and DB was its prequel. He probably doesn't know the entire series by Akira was Dragonball. I love how many people think Dragon Ball is supposed to be this high-action show with shitty synth music. Amazing.

huh, no I'm not retarded but DBS is aimed at a much younger audience than DB, even as goofy and weird DB was, DBS is much more kid friendly, DBS is not focused on teens and above like DBZ.
>>
>>135055571
Dragon Ball was always targeted towards kids. And I say Dragon Ball, meaning Z and the adaption of the first part as well. All of it was targeted towards children. Only in America did they try to target it towards teens with shitty rock music.
>>
>>135055674
The shitty rock music has nothing to do with it but you keep bringing it up. There's a clear difference between a show aimed at 12 year olds and up as DB and DBZ, but can obviously still be enjoyed by some around a lower age and a show clearly aimed at 12 and below as DBS.

Nobody ever went like that, that's not the point. The point is that DBS has been dumbed down for a much younger audience than what DBZ or DB were at their time.

It hasn't been "dumbed down for a younger audience". It's just been dumbed down and is simply a low-effort cash-in.

1. This is like one segment of the anime, during the main boss fight. There's so much "quality" in the anime as a whole that this hardly negates it (see Dragon Ball Super's few good fight sequences)
2. This scene isn't even really all that well animated. I mena it gives you the impression of being well animated by having a lot of superflous movements, Fluidity to the motions and crazy camera movements. But if I'm rating on just an animation stand point, it's really just wild, hard to focus, and fast.
There's a distinct lack of weight to a lot of the motions, really weird anticipation and follow through, and the character flail around in really weird unnecessary way that really doesn't prepare you for the next hit.

tl;dr.
It's very fluid and pretty but it's basically just shiny,flamboyant bullshit as a way of generating artificial hype.
>>
>>135059889
Literally this. Toei needs to take breaks between seasons and work on projects seperately instead of working on dozens year round. But we know they won't because then they won't make as much money and not enough people seem to care about the quality of the product, so why should they?
>>
>>135060009
>This is like one segment of the anime, during the main boss fight

>>135058084

>>
>>135059943
>They think budget is the most important factor as for a show's quality
I'm convinced Toei uses long running series to train new animators. It makes no sense otherwise. Even with time constraints a veteran wouldn't do such a poor job with these shows unless they flat out didn't care about the show they are working on.
>>
>>135060377
>This webm is one of the minor fights
I actually saw this a while ago and was surprised they made it so flashy. I won't call it awful but I will say it suffers from all the complaints I had for the previous one. A lot of superflous, weightless wiggling that makes you think "Wow, This is really fluid!!!" But I'll give toei this. This is still better than their usual quality as of late.
>There hasn't been a single fight scenes as good these webms in DBS
I'll consede that, although some of the snipets of the SSG fight with Beerus look pretty decent. They tend to suffer from different problems than One Piece's issues. (Rather than being to fluid and weightless, they have a habit of being to stiff and disjointed at times)
>How do you rate this?
I'd say it's pretty decent. There's also a lot of sperflous movement but it's got a much greater sense of weight, Significantly better art direction and most importantly, It's not quite as hard to follow. I'm no expert on animation so my opinion hardly matters but I think just those few things is what makes this scene feel so much stronger to me than a lot of what Toei does.

In all honestly, I'm actually not upset. Last time we had recolours passed off as transformations. Here we see things that are actually different. Toei successfully lowered my expectations enough that these designs are a breath of fresh air, even though some are shit like that Frieza race guy.

>>135061042
It reminds me of an animation technique people use. They deliberately make off model frames so that things look more fluent in animation. The wobbling? Likely another stylistic technique. I don't like it though.

It looks overall more interesting than anything DB could be. The fights aren't just huge explosions but have more martial arts, which alone makes them more intersting. And the story has probably a better theme than DBS, cause afaik there isn't one in Super.

>>135051210
Not sure if I should laugh or cry at that post.
OP isn't seeing anything safe for one fight a year. It actually surprised to see animations in some of the officer fights. Last time I checked, Usopp pulled his slingshot for 12 minutes, while you could hear the sound of it all the time. You'd think the whole thing would lose all of its elasticity by the end.
And before that I saw Doffy vs Sanji with no animation whatsoever. Everything was just still imagines and punches were cut to not connect and then you'd just see Sanji fly away.

>>135064778
Shitposter is that you?
In the manga Gohan wasnt tortured by Friez, therefore Piccolo didnt die protecting him, therefore he didnt regret not training. Also Gohan didnt agree or disagree to nothing. It was Goku who decided everything.
I am curious how Toei is going to excuse Gohan's absend in the tournament, if they use the same excuse as the manga it would look as bad writing considering what happened in the anime, but it is a possibility.

OPM sold around 7k dbs sold around 1k. That's far too different.

>>135051077
Reason being, it's just more Dragon Ball Z. It faces the problem that shonen must always face: "You now have an all-powerful character who is moving above God-level in strength. Write a compelling story about this."
This is a dead-end for most shonen that aren't parodies. There's no reason to pay attention because there's no actual adversity. Why care about Goku's training when he's just training past the point where anything could compete with him?

Dragonball Z did itself an incredible disservice when it moved from technique to power levels. With martial arts, you can make unexpected things happen. With what they did with DBZ, it just turns into uninteresting beamspam that not even endearing childhood characters can save.

>>135065691
20% ratings for anime doesn't have for a few years now. Nowadays, the top only reaches about 12%, Super is bellow that, but it's meant to. It's the lead in to One Piece, so it's expected to have lower ratings than it, which hits around 8% nowadays. Super still manages to appear in the top 10 every week, usually beating mainstays like Pokemon and even the newest success, Yokai Watch.
>>
Is anyone other than dirty spics still watching this trash?

>>135066445
It indicates an objective fact when you're talking about popularity itself. If people enjoy it, it's objectively "compelling". That doesn't mean that it's a good story.

Gohan's a real oddity in Super. As quickly as the anime can suggest he'll learn from the Frieza fight, the manga debunks any idea that he'll do anything.

>This scene isn't even really all that well animated. I mena it gives you the impression of being well animated by having a lot of superflous movements, Fluidity to the motions and crazy camera movements.
Isn't that exactly what anime is supposed to excel at: doing something with little budget and through "tricks" making it appear good?

DBS can't even be bothered to do that.

>Toei won't go against Toriyama's story in the end.
The mangas hasn't addressed Gohan's development, Toyotaro skipped RoF, but in the small scenes Gohan fought Shisami instead of Ginyu Tagoma.
But with Toei is better to expect bad writing/animation.
>>
>>135068913
The animation for DBS is outsourced to a Philippine studio. Philips have no sense of honor or shame, so they don't care if they do a bad job.

It's not complicated. It's a rushed production. The few good animators attached to the project don't have time to do their best work.; the rest are inexperienced/poorly trained. Oftentimes, as you may see in the credits, they are outsourcing in-between animation to the Philippines. Episodes have multiple directors, a sign that they actually had to delegate parts of an episode to different groups just to get it done in time.

It's not a matter of budget as some would like to believe. It's just poor planning. They've rushed into weekly TV production because in their business model, the show isn't the product, it's just there to advertise products, to keep the brand in the public consciousness. Toei produces a fuckload of things, and Super just isn't a huge priority for them.

Good to see others vouch for these scenes, the wiggly movements are weird, but it's definitely animated better than anything in DBS right now. That's just this particular animator's style.

I never understood what all these "unnecessary animation" complaints come from. It's like when anything is animated dynamically with tons of movements it's "unnecessary". Like what the hell do people want?

I kinda wish Toriyama would have used assistants sometimes, to at least draw backgrounds and stuff more often later on in the series. His settings are so boring post-Raditz... his settings on Earth ironically look much more alien than any part of Namek. For all the jokes Toriyama makes about how lazy he is, he never turned in a manuscript late, kept his weekly pace, and his art was consistently wonderful.

>>135076861
Overrated: To overestimate the merits of; rate too highly.
OPM is good, but people overrated it, it's a gag series, ONE intended that when he created, but some people can't understand it.
>>
>>135076467
>>135076335
In any case, "too many people like ___" is never a valid criticism of anything. I think anyone seriously comparing OPM to Super definitely lacks perspective, it's annoying to see that kind of ignorance consistently plague these threads.

Root of the issue is, OPM is one of those series that's really accessible to anyone, just like DBZ. Fanbases overlap; You get an influx of casual fans who see how poor Super looks compared to OPM every week and they don't really understand why, and they get upset. Throw that into the cesspool of hyperbole and contrarianism that is discourse on 4chan, and you get posts like >>135053701 >>135054344
>>135076628 making ridiculous statements because they feel like they've been personally attacked. And to what end?

Here are two things that need to happen
1) Learn more about the animation process. If you use the words "budget" or "QUALITY". accompanied by still shot of an inbetween very often in discussion about animation, you don't know a damn thing.
2) Stop taking attacks on things you like so personally that you're willing to say really stupid things like "overrated"
>>
I have a feeling Toei is just trying to rush Super and keeping people's attention to make a grand finale of sorts, who knows. Like, letting the manga/anime plateau and pushing out one last movie. I'm kind of hoping for that, since Super is dangerously disappointing.
>>
>>135057171
Super is bad but it is also made worse by the fact that we've already seen these same fights in the movies where they were done so much better.
>>
>>135079453
Dragonball super should've either been a series of inter connected movies or a series of OVAs. That woulda been amazing. But naw, that won't make as much cash.
>>
>>135062602
So I've only seen a few webm's of this show but what's its deal? Is it just a bunch of super girls fighter beating the shit out of "edgy" bad guys? Fights look good for the most part.

>>135065048
My guess that it's more slowed down so we can process what's happening. They want us to see the fighting.

Not even close. The animation quality was good in most parts for the movies, but they were incredibly lame.
There was no tension at all in RoF.
>>
>>135080075
I liked how tensionless RoF felt though. Although that's because to me Freeza returns feels more like it should be a filler arc rather than a main story arc anyway.

Maybe they will hold hands later

in a way its become camp. there are really no stakes anymore. you just know gokus going to win and the dead will be wished back with the dragon balls. then onto the next bad guy/ training session/ fight /etc

not to say this is bad, if it was my middle schooler self watching id be more vested i think, cause i was watching dbz everyday after school, but as an adult whose already watched all of db/z and gt, the story isnt as compelling . this will probably change once they do a new arc not spoiled by a movie
