Reviewing Dragon Ball Super's Best & Worst Animated Episode

[@forgottenrelics1197]

Thank you, it's so refreshing to see someone who knows what he's talking about instead of a generic "dbs bad, dbz good"

[@Kitsune986]

Something I genuinely struggle to understand is how people refuse to give credit where it's due. There's this """""review""""" of DBS: Broly on YT and the best thing he had to say about its animation was "It looks pretty good...but only sometimes." Then he proceeded to cherry pick screenshots from the fusion dance scene and showed zero actual animation from there or anywhere else IIRC. He did say he liked how the animation was more fluid than most of the anime, but you could tell he was essentially saying "It looks good by DBS standards." Then you get people to this day who are like "Not even the animators actually cared about the animation or tried to make it look good, lol!" I think that pisses me off more than anything because one, I feel like it should be common knowledge that DBS had a horrible schedule and they 100% did their absolute best and two, it's just insulting to any and all animators in general

[@Rockden]

@@Kitsune986 Unfortunately it seems not many people know about Super's schedule, they just look at the first arcs' animation and go "yeah, everything about Super is garbage, even tho I haven't actually seen it myself or done any research into it" Also, I have seen a lot of people around that for some reason, as you said, just wanna see pretty drawings, ignoring everything about animation; the same people that praise the anime adaptation of Record of Ragnarok, probably. I'm not trying to be rude to these people, you like what you like and everything is subjective, but PLEASE, don't talk about "bad animation" just because an anime has unique or streamlined art (I've seen this A LOT with Tate's fusion scene in Broly and Naruto vs. Pain in Shippuden)!

[@forgottenrelics1197]

GT was much less animated to both Z and Super so it makes it a little difficult. That doesn't mean it is absent of any well-animated scenes, but more so it's sporadic throughout an episode rather than anything consistent like episode 279 in Z or 130 in Super. The only action episode in GT that somewhat did was episode 24, although that's more so in the 2nd half. Episode 1 had some nice animation as well.

I just wanna know why Toei wanted to start a new anime 3-4 months immediately after a movie and roughly a year and a half after the previous movie. Super coming out in 2016 would’ve saved a bit more in the quality assuming they still wanted all that merch money. Also making it’s two first arcs recaps and drawn out versions of movies we had just gotten is really odd to me but at this point it’s not uncommon for the franchise.

[@forgottenrelics1197]

Part of the reason was to keep Dragon Ball Kai's timeslot which finished up the week before Supers first episode aired. So releasing in 2016 would've taken that away. There's also the marketing/promotion tie in of dropping a new movie around the same time a new DB series has started.

I just feel like super's animation has a few things that bother me, especially the ki blasts and the terrain, i mean i know they can't make each episode like the broly movie, but i guess i prefer the dbz old style

[@jasonone8726]

Well you watched the video, Super had a lousy production schedule, it's not because you prefer how Z looked.

[@SuperSamPam]

R u gonna do animation analysis on the new DBSSH trailer?

[@forgottenrelics1197]

Probably :)

[@catherinejaddii828]

I love it when people who claim to be "progressive" and "socialists" harass animators on Twitter who get paid slave wages. Like come on.

[@Yuricorru]

I love this thank you a fellow understander that just like Z, Super has it’s low downs and mountain ups

[@KitKatThatAnimates]

Ngl ep 5 was pretty good, the drawings at some parts eh... but the animation or whatever was nice, and the ssj 3 transformation as very nice.

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

"Hai-deki Heero Sheemah" I've forgiven a lot of pronunciation mistakes thus far but this one was unforgivable.

[@Potatoras]

one thing that i always critique about dbs in its first episodes was how they made 3 shades in the hair especially goku maybe its just me but this use of 3 grade shading is just unappealing and over the necessary amount although they did remove that on the newer material ( with the exception of heroes-the game promo anime) and its honestly far better than the yamamuro current plastic pallete color style

[@Waqas_Khan02]

agreed I personally perfer no shade or 1 shade when the character has black hair. 2 or 3 shade look good in different hair colour.

[@SirL_56]

goku vs cell and goku vs jiren were imo the best animated fights so far

[@Priestyy.]

I agree

[@blackatem1174]

The problem with protecting Super is. Super is 30 years after Z. DragonBall is presently one of the largest anime franchise effort. The budget should not have been this low. The release schedule should not have been rushed. You would think the world's most popular anime ever would look better than this especially the Godfather of action. Anime. Super got good in tournament of power. It's a billion dollar franchise. How did they release trash for almost 100 episodes

[@HowdyJ.Marston]

We really should start blaming toei not the animators. Fucking greedy people

[@darling..............]

Even the top arc was trash,all of the tension literally becomes nonexistant when 17 just wishes them all back and the main "antagonist" is as compelling as a brick wall,and the way both piccolo and krillin get wasted is extremely sad when both had their own arc and moments before the top arc,and the only good episodes being when either goku and vegeta work togethor or when goku goes UI agaisnt jiren

[@Sydney-wi1ym]

​@@darling..............by that logic the cell, namek and buu saga have non-existent tension.

[@NineEight_Nine]

I knew something was really off with Super in general but I just couldn't put my finger on it

[@joshuasmith4643]

They honestly shouldn't have made super with two of the four arcs being movies, and just delayed the release with only having future and TOP arcs being high end animated, because boi was early super rough.

[@Galacticbluedesu]

i would like naotoshi animate a sequence if there is at some point, of vegeta evading blast while holding bulma, that would look so sick

[@IIIISai]

6:18 Ikr the slim Mui looks sick, it's sad though besides these few scenes most people look at the bulky mui in the other scenes and say it looks trash 🤧, Slim Mui in the anime, and in the manga Heat

[@j04370859]

Who says that? Most people, prefer the bulk.

[@IIIISai]

@@j04370859 No most people prefer the slim, How do u never see the hate anime Mui gets, it's alot, the reason is because of the bulk

[@j04370859]

@@IIIISai I haven't seen anyone say that, wherever you're reading that from, it's just a minority. One of the critiques about DBS, is how slim the characters look now, everyone misses when the characters, looked more bulky, I don't know why anyone would complain about this.

[@IIIISai]

@@j04370859 I get what you're saying and it's true, but believe me when i talk about mui, If you ask anyone they trash on anime mui, but love manga, reason is literally because he's not slim

[@j04370859]

@@IIIISai But he is slim, in the manga, much slimmer than the anime.

[@mbappiani5809]

It would be cool if you do this with Naruto

[@CeratedLotus]

The z and gt meatiders in the comments are insane

[@ultraplayer4594]

Bro 130 was so hype

[@ErisEntropy]

4:58 huh. is someone gonna argue THIS isn't flying?

[@sussybaka7823]

Zeno prob was so excited he let it happen

[@thewolfbeast816]

The thumbnail made me laugh,the goku from the right

[@geetesh_10]

Want a og dragon ball one next time

[@KAKAR0110]

I wish that I go back in time to learn the db style in the 90’s

[@Rujewitblood]

I hate what they did with the color in super, it always makes me think of these online flash games, it can't just be nostalgia, even the well animated/drawn scenes just don't look as good with that modern colouring style

[@turbotrup96]

They made it too colorful. Also, the auras of Goku and Jiren are covering them up too much.

[@nyalter5511]

its kind of impressive you can t ell who animated wich frame by their style a lot of the time

[@Kenpai_TDG]

Yoo nice video dude! mind doing something like that in specific one piece arcs or whatever anime ? ^^

[@THEORIGINALMEMEHUB]

For me the best was the kefla fight with the kamehameha surf

[@williamhowells806]

130 is the best animation to come from any part of the dragon ball shows

[@AkatsukiClash]

Thank you!

[@just_a_tepig3611]

I think one of the worse things that effected the workload was the incredibly unneeded reanimation of the first 2 movies.
