It's been a fun ride, overall. Thank you for your contribution, mate. This series, despite its flaws, let us appreciate some new talents, both animation-wise (Nikaido, Miuma, Tu, Higashide, Yokoya...) and direction-wise (Nakamura, Nagamine, Mitsuka, Ishitani...). If this is the new generation for DB, we are in very good hands.

Naoki Tate is a Man, it will be so funny now...Shintani's design is perfect for Tate, so he will shine, and haters will hate him even more just because he will be(again) one of the best animators. Sorry Takahashi Lovers xD Tate, Tu, HIGASHIDE(he deserves more credit), Yamamuro, Takahashi and Ryo Onishi are great animators, it's sad that people can't understand them and think that Takahashi is the only one there. Also, I must say Yamamuro did a great job in last episode, he is THE animator supervisor, he corrected all with very good style.

[@thetruth7105]

But yamamuro ruined takahashi part.

[@Kevin-9494]

The Truth No, Yamamuro just gave consistency to the episode. Not correcting Takahashi's animation means inconsistency, Yamamuro did what he had to do, he was the only Animation Director there, after all.

[@LOGAN-R6M]

Agree

[@amirkenan1]

How the fuck did Yamamuro ruin his cut? That's the best looking thing Takahashi ever produced in DBS, his details and good art was still in full display, just a bit more on model than usual to make the episode a more consistent, but ruined? That's beyond ridiculous. Yamamuro hasn't ruined his actual animaion at all, his cut looked amazing.

[@lokazoum4816]

[@mysticlucario5226]

Your animation breakdowns have really helped me understand more about animation and how a weekly animated series works. I don’t think I would pursue the career of an artist/animator without the help of your videos. Your videos have helped me and others understand the reason why dragon ball supers schedule is so disastrous, what the difference is from art style to animation style, and how to distinguish different animators art styles. Thank you AnimeAjay, I’m looking forward to seeing videos like these in the future.

[@tori-botsensei712]

:)

[@basicplayer9390]

ajay thakyou so much you made me realize that there is a different perspective to see in a anime which is animation and before I used to be the guy that would pause in between scene and zoom in on far characters and say its bad animation but you have shown me the true way, so thankyou thankyou and thankyou

[@Rodriguez_way]

Ajay, I went from "this looks cool" to "this looks cool because the lovely smears are beautifully executed to convey the dynamic and powerful movements" and I am thankful. I've been able to enjoy tiny segments of episodes as I noticed some of the details you're calling out. As I watch JoJo now for example, I notice the difference in styles and can pick out when things change up and how different things are captured. It's been awesome man!

[@soal4690]

Can't wait for this channel to grow. Keep it up. The intro was hilarious! Lmao

[@doyledancer141]

I've been watching your Dragon Ball Super Animation Breakdowns for some time now. You are truly the exact content I have been looking for for so long. I Never imagined someone existed that provides the content you provide. Long story short. I can't be the only one. You're going to be big. DBS or no DBS

[@steelblake]

So i found this channel rather recently and while i disagree with some of your opinions on how the show was handled in the narrative side of things ( because it has a few more hits than misses) i´m not going to argue that you made a really good job with your animation breakdowns. Thanks to your video on "what is bad animation is" i learn that there is more reasons on why some things turn out the way they did instead of pointing my finger to a studio and say "why did you do this" and in consequence i apreaciate animation a little bit more now, so a lot of thanks for that. And when it comes to this episode, this was a really good way to go out for now. While a bit rushed i really feel like the direction of the whole episode carry out that particular flaw and truly show a lot of potential for the incoming movie so bless Ishitani for that. Thx for your hard work, i think i´m gonna stick around for a little more.

Great comment :)

[@Avarn388]

I rarely comment on your channel Ajay, but I just want to extend a heartfelt thank you. These animation breakdowns you have been fantastic. And really they have taught me a lot in terms of better critically evaluate stuff on an animation and art level. Not that will ever be my expertise for whenever reviewing anime I tend to focus on story characters, and themes. And am more of an expert on sound design. But animation chops do help. DBS final episode was well made, but very rushed. And really, that's honestly how I feel about DBS. I find it really hollow. The fact it rehashed two movie arcs was lazy and while I enjoyed the Future Trunks arc; the show dropped the ball with its antagonists, like Zamasu. And this current arc just seemed even more inconsistent from a story perspective. If I'd rate super, it would be a 65/100 or 60. As in, it's meh. Hopefully, the movie will be much better.

[@MsPrimeKnight]

thanks to DBS now I have a favorite youtuber. You. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@iTouchin]

Oh Ajay, you are what made this series bearable. Watching your breakdowns after an episode is what gave me strength to see the next, you've exposed so many layers for the main populace of this fanbase that it's probably never going to go back to "Toei needs to step up their game" as the fullest extent on talks about animation and direction. You've established instead a new hate, for the evil, twisted and tyrannical villain named Yamamuro... Manning his "correctional facility". Forever etched in time as the most controversial figure in DB's production. You've drawn blood from stone my friend, well done. Looking forward to see more of your content with or without DB as it's focus.

[@Soniman001]

"Gave you the srethgnth to see the next"lmao no one was forcing you to watch man, couldve stopped anytime

[@iTouchin]

Soniman001 No shit sherlock, if your lack of comprehension matched your wit you'd be in bloody Oxford. Well, since I need to explain it... The interest to continue watching was not because of it's (piss poor) narrative but the development of the new talent emerging from Toei and freelancers. It gave me a new interest in the series while every other layman was busy doing mock up theoretical plot outcomes and "power levels" (possibly the things you follow...), this guy was discussing something actually tangible and reflective of it's process. We know more about it's production, we know who the animators are and we know their influences/influencers. So yeah man, fuck off haha. I know why I continued to watch it and I don't need no condescending cunt telling me the sky is blue. Thanks for trying though, dickhead 😀

[@Soniman001]

iTouchin the condescension in this reply is quite astounding. I swear faux Intellectuals in regards to DB all act the same LOL

[@iTouchin]

Soniman001 Hey man, if you think the manner in which I write imitates an intellectual, thanks. I don't think it's all that remarkable but hey, a backhanded compliment is still a compliment ;D Dude, if you feel threatened by any "intellectual" speaking regarding the processes of animation, then I feel I need to point out that this is one of the processes where actual adults can actually be curious about while also justifying their interest to what is essentially a Sunday cartoon... Far be it from me to say an adult can't enjoy a mindless story but even this mindless story needed well knowledged and skilled individuals to make it happen. Sorry that you want to guess what colour the next Super Saiyan form will be though... I'm guessing purple.

[@Spike6Pixel]

iTouchin He said you write in a manner that implies you're attempting to sound like an individual. It's artifical. Your comments are wordy, but lack substance. Your condescending attitude and need to further explain yourself help to emphasize this claim. In other words: You sound like an ass. I agree that Ajay's videos made me anticipate future episodes more, but you made it seem as if you had no other interest at all in the series, which makes your reasoning extremely sad.

[@Maeno34]

Frieza and Goku fighting Jiren side by side is probably the coolest shit I've ever seen. This has given me so many memories and I really hope it comes back better than before

[@paladin3116]

winglessangelful someone doesn't like opinions lol I prefer Z art style over supers, why are you talking about animation? Two different things. At least Z consistent animation though out the show, Super improved at the end at the tournament arc

[@Maeno34]

Z had consistent art style but not animation. I mean the art style changed after the Namek saga, You can see the difference between the namek saga and the cell games.

Man, I'm so glad the Dragon Ball community has you Ajay. I've been watching your content ever since you started this series (And you super supervisors series) and your by far my favorite Dragon Ball content creator. (Yeah, I know I'm treating this like you're done youtubing but seriously I just felt like I needed to say that now. The episode as a whole blew my expectations out of the water.

"Super will be back soon" So that was a fucking lie

[@nickspangler5912]

I noticed you had a little comment in there regarding the entirety of Dragon Ball to review animation on and I think I drooled a little bit too much. I have loved your work for months now and find your videos have inspired in me a true appreciation now for the work of animators and particular style. I would be ecstatic of you did the same thing in reverse, speaking on Dragon Ball Z perhaps breaking it down by episode blocks instead of individual episodes.

[@observemedia423]

You have allowed me and so many others to experience animation on a whole different level. I May have found you late but I also only started with Super around episode 105 right around when I found your channel at episode 109-110. Thank you so much and you deserve all the success coming to you

[@antijoshbackup7544]

This episode really was everything that I hoped for. Can't wait to watch your future breakdowns on the older episodes. Thank you for all the hard work that you've done. You really have opened up the eyes of many fans to the various animators that work on the show and the different styles of animation.

[@UltimateGokug]

Ever since 2016, you've shown us the many things that a lot of us did not know of, and getting me and many other fans to know more about the animation industry. Thank you so much Ajay and I cannot WAIT to see more content from you.

[@jaideepsingh4920]

All the new talents are some of the best parts about this finale. Takahashi's insane art and animation and Ishitani's amazing storyboard and direction work SO WELL together. I don't want to seem like I'm underappreciative of everyone else who's worked so hard, but it's hard to get over how good Takahashi and Ishitani are.

[@dennist.8210]

Was a beautiful episode for Tadayoshi Yamamuro to end on (if we don't see him again). His corrections, as you mentioned, ensured the art was very polished In this episode. That mixed with Ishitani's beautiful direction and SB made for a visually appealing ending. Enjoy or dislike Yamamuro's work, he still is responsible for so many things and many great moments. His last shot of Goku (your thumbnail) made me smile as it sort of acted as a visual of himself. Worn out from all the hard work he's done, but happy and proud of it at the same time. If he doesn't return at all (though I reckon he may come back as a supervisor on an episode if a new series begins) then I thank him for all he's done. While I personally am not a fan of the new style by Shintani so far, I will be open and see how the animators incorporate their unique takes on it. Hopefully it will win me over eventually. Onward to December lads.

Thanks for everything Ajay! You're videos have been something I look forward to on a weekly basis and have really enhanced my enjoyment of Dragonball. Before watching your videos, I found the lack of consistency in quality between episodes extremely frustrating, and it tainted my enjoyment of the series. I never considered the animators as individuals working behind the scenes with their own quirks, strengths, and weaknesses. Your content brought clarity to my ideas, and opened my eyes to concepts I had never even considered. What you do is totally unique and very special. I look forward to seeing what you do with future content.

Thank you Ajay for making this series not just a show I love, but a learning experience and an introduction to an element of media I’m now far more passionate about. Like any, the show had its ups and downs, but understanding more of the reasons behind those made the high points that much higher. I wouldn’t have enjoyed the animation in episodes like 122 and 130 as much as I did without your videos. I wouldn’t even know to thank the storyboard for episodes like 107 and 131, which each felt like films in their own right (especially because I watched 131 in a theatre). You’ve done so much not just to develop my love for dragon ball, but my love for production and animation. I thank you for that, and I’ll continue to watch everything you make for as long as you make it.

[@Edelweiss1102]

Hey Ajay, I just wanted to thank you for opening my eyes and introducing me to the whole "behind the scenes" aspects. You've become one of my favourite KZbinrs and I enjoyed your content through and through, learned a lot and view a lot of things differently now, I'll sure stick around for more content. Shitani absolutely nailed this episode, easily Supers best directed episode. She is very talented and deserves all the praise she gets, let's hope she'll stick around. Animationwise there's not much to say, Takahashi, Young-ce and so on surly delivered. Overall, Super has been a very bumpy ride with a rough start and a lot of issues and problems. With that beeing said, it's amaizing how far it has come, it still wasn't perfect, but Toei surly pulled a great ending compared to the trainwreck that this show was at the start. Despite all issues, I can't deny I enjoyed watching it for the most part and it surely introduced some great talents to the franchise as well as it brough back veterans, it wont be the same without Super (and reviews and Ajays Stuff rundup ) on Sunday. With that being said, Super may be over, but Dragonball.surely isn't and has a bright future. Can't wait for the new movie and a very likely new series. In that sense, until we meet again.

[@Omnimatr1x]

Thank you Ajay! I think everyone in the Dragon Ball Community has benefited from your videos over Super's run. From your weekly breakdowns, animation videos, and Kanzenshuu work, you've given us all so much information that the community would have been completely in the dark about if it wasn't for you. Thanks once again for all your hard work and sticking through Dragon Ball Super to the very end!

Thank you AnimeAjay for all your hard work over this series from when you started, I subscribed to your channel from when geekdom101 recommended you when you both collaborated in his video and I've not been disappointed since, you really know what you are talking about when it comes to animation and it's been a pleasure to watch every video 😁 keep doing what you're doing mate!

[@parsaleatherworks]

I want to say thank you, anime ajay. I’ve been a fan of dragon ball as long as I can remember and I consider myself a somewhat decent artist and ever since I was little I had an eye for detail. I always knew the animation was different in certain parts of Z growing up. But I never knew why (to be fair I was just a kid and didn’t think about all the different animators) but you have helped increase my knowledge of the animators of this beautiful show that has brought me and so many other fans joy and I thank you for that. I look forward to seeing more of you and dragon ball in the near future. Again, thank you. P.S. Long live Takahashi!!!!

There is something weirdly heart warming about Supers production I watched Berserk 2016 recently and it adapts the manga pretty much page by page.However the goofy visuals and sounds , dislexic editing and rigor mortis character acting drown the story into the mud while the studio evidently doesn't care at all considering that S2 is worse. Meanwhile the production of Super persevered and became better as it went along making a (IMO) a shallow story into something enjoyable with their hard work and passion. Its really great that ppl like u make the staff known because they truly deserve it.

I wanna stay in this channel forever as long as Ajay is around 😍 super has been an awesome ride

I think the director's inability to see the episode before the last may have actually been a blessing in disguise, as she was able to follow her own gut regarding how to set things up, and I remember and love episode 131 so much more than the episode before it, even though you could say that was the "climax" of the arc. Episode 131's first half was the most amped thing I've seen out of the entirety of the show, and it was a spectacular send-off for the series at this point.

[@mechajay3358]

Yeah, I think it's all for the best that she didn't. Let her own work speak for itself.

*This episode give me optimism for the future, the director Ishitani was so on point every second and Takahashi work it's gorgeous...*

[@Monroah]

It's so wierd to think that just a year and a half ago, I had no clue about what the Hell made Dragon Ball so popular, but thanks to Super catching my eye thanks to Trunks vs Fused Zamasu clips on KZbin, finally acting on that interest with DBZA making me more curious than ever, and finally watching Kai, I can definitely see why. Super may be one of the most divisive shows on the planet and may have done several things oh-so-horribly wrong, but what it does right and it being my introduction to Dragon Ball and subsequently Anime as a whole just makes me not feel to bad about it in the long run. I have to also say, thanks Ajay, I went from only having a basic understanding of what animation was, but now I've found a new interest in learning about all of these animators and many more (even though I'm burnt out on drawing myself), and I have you to thank for that. Looking forward to your other animation roundups, Ajay! Super may have just ended, but I can tell this is just only the beginning.

[@Phoenix-vi4dw]

It's been...a time. Despite thinking Super is overall lackluster I've always looked forward to saturday during its run. Your content is some of my favorite, I've always enjoyed learning about the technical side of things and never knew much about animation. I'm optimistic about dragon ball's future and can't wait for what comes next on your channel. Also, Praise Ishitani.

[@aidendrake21]

I'm kinda new to your channel, Ajay. But, I certainly love the content you're putting. Because of you, I now can recognize a few animators when watching the episode. I really appreciate the effort you put on your videos. Can't wait to see your next discussions and breakdowns!

[@TheHypersonic55]

Ah this was a lovely video Ajay. I finally watched the latest episode of Super and I was very happy with it, the final fight between Goku, Frieza, 17 and Jiren looked hella cool and the conclusion to the story was wrapped up well with some beautiful, heart-warming and nostalgic feelings. For me, while the show has been up and down when it comes to story, use of certain characters and mythology, when the show worked it was SO much fun and this final episode had me really giddy watching those fight sequences. Like you mentioned I noticed the direction and use of colour a lot in the episode and as the conclusion to the show, for now, I was very satisfied :D

[@KiddKush602]

Thank you for your knowledgeable insight on the animation production aspect of the series along with the incredible turnaround on each episode!

[@nebtis7376]

Every single Dragon Ball fan should watch this video after watching 131. Oftentimes, these vital aspects of the show are missed when forming opinions. (And again this happens for 131) Thank you for always covering Super's evolution!

[@laboy60]

Loved all your videos!! As an Animation major you brought every point i felt what made the show amazing or a dud. Loved the explanation into picking out certain animators. I am a fan! Look forward to seeing more videos!!! Doing a great job. Keep it up!!

[@edwinsz]

Thanks for everything Ajay. I knew nothing not too long ago and I learned a lot more from you

[@superjboy16]

Love your videos man, you made me appreciate the work that goes into anime even more, and also how to identify the animators. i'm definitely sticking around that's for sure. Keep up the great work!

[@itsmesoru]

Love your work, my friend. As an artist this is something I can find inspiration from, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. esp that fresh graduate to director bit that's amazing

[@gotskittles]

will miss these sundays....watching the anime and then tuning into your episode breakdown. See you next time, Ajay!

[@ruggie.74]

Thank you for your service to the fandom, Ajay. Like a historian, you've cataloged the art and animation details of the series so well - nobody could have done a better job. If you hear from Takahashi again, tell him that we love him.

[@sokogekigoji]

It's been an amazing ride! Thanks Ajay 😭😭

[@5stargrim]

I'm sure I don't need to tell you that the intro you made had me dead. Anyway, Thank you to super and everyone involved on that, if not for super I wouldn't have had even half as good a time these past few years. Plus it brought us this KZbin series.

[@SheltonPiresPires165]

Damn Ajay you need to talk more about the narrative stuff and how it works taking other elements of the episodes into account. Like i've been enjoying this arc a lot so far (minus some offensively bad episodes like #119) and i couldn't notice the symbolism of the light on the sky until you pointed it out. I mean yeah i know you don't like being negative (much less with other super fans threatening to riot) and i don't like much negativity either (as i liked the arc and i feel sad when I can't share that enjoyment with everyone) but damn i feel like we could all even learn something new from this kind of stuff even if we don't agree overall.

[@twTheivid]

God bless Ishitani. And, as always, thank you Ajay, this ride has been awesome. I'm thinking I may rewatch all the breakdowns you've done just to get myself over this weird feeling of knowing Super's over. I'm really looking forward to whatever is next in your channel. The trip has been awesome and you can bet I'm not going anywhere anytime soon :D
