You'd be surprised how often, especially during the arcs, I actively had to pause or audibly say "Oh no..." at just the sheer terribleness of some of the animation. "Way beyond usual TOEI" is sickeningly accurate, which is surprising when you consider the money to be made off of the show in question (then again, people are watching and it helps Blu-ray sales. gg Toei.)It goes way beyond usual TOEI. Suppose you guys are happy watching it though so it's fine.
It's had some pretty good sakuga, though, but it's usually short-lived or preceded by a lot of shit sakuga. These last couple of episodes have actually been pretty good animation-wise, and I'd say episode 39's the best looking in the entire franchise, but the shit still exists and...it doesn't look good. I wouldn't really call it DBZ-tier since that didn't really look good, either (better than this, though), but y'know. As for the appearance and feel, the new arc's been pretty Toriyama, though I get where you're coming from on that. Certainly doesn't beat the fun and energy of the original. That in mind, character development's been really nice in Super and they've been cranking out some legitimately good ideas lately, so it's a give and take.

So, anyone watching Future Diary's Bizarre Adventure (read: Big Order)? Just watched the first episode and so far, even after that soul crushing Futurediary.jp in the opening, it's gelling with me. The music's fun as hell, the concept's nothing new and could go pretty much any way, the main character isn't nearly as shit as he could have been (instantly a big plus), yaddayadda. Definitely following this one.
