The animation for Super just looks horrible when you compare it to DBZ or DBGT. For me though, that's the problem with modern computer animated series is that the motions characters produce look so robotic and lifeless. Older anime (or cartoons for that matter) have more flexibility and rubberness that adds a fantastical element to it, which in my opinion adds more of a unique style. The fight scenes in the new DBS-era movies were great, but translated over on a television budget we had those memes where each frame looked like it was done on Microsoft Paint.

Sorry for double posting again, but apparently an interview was done where even Akira Toriyama has some gripes with the animation for DBS. Though I think this was way early on in the series, and I think it's gotten slightly better when they started the Future Trunks / Black Goku Saga. Not saying much though considering I still feel Z and GT had way better fight scenes.

Why not just move anime studios? If Toriyama is upset with the newer animation team why not just ditch Toei and give the offer to produce to someone else? Not like DB is a relatively unknown series.

Toriyama has little actual rights over the series. He might be the creator, but he sold the rights to it when he was published by Shueisha. Plus I doubt Toei would release Dragon Ball from their death grip.

Remember that Toriyama was forced to continue Dragon Ball long after he had gotten bored with it. (Something, I might add, that was not done to him with Dr. Slump.)

If copyright laws in Japan are similar to here, he doesn't own it; the company he made it for does.

The only time he went on record as saying his editors forced him to continue was around the part of Dragon Ball with Demon King Piccolo. Everything else has been of his own volition.
 
He could go the Anno route and fund a studio of his own (ironic that Anno's studio is now suing his former employer Gainax), lots of animators do that to protect their works. Although I see him (and he probably agrees) more as a manga artist than anything else.

He and his editor allegedly got death threats from fans pissed off that Gohan defeated Cell instead of Goku, which is why he was sort of pressured by the media and his publishing company to produce the Majin Buu Saga. Lots of people have tried to debunk this, but I remember reading an article that someone at Shueisha claming that they wanted the project to end with Goku becoming the ultimate hero. The only people I could find trying to debunk this was on Reddit, but they seem to use credible sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbz/commen...ow_the_buu_saga_came/?st=iwckv5un&sh=68c80bd0. Either way, Buu Saga kicked ass even if it did have some blunders.

I've seen people say stuff like this for years but like Kanzenshuu points out, there's no interview that suggested anything like this. Also yeah, Kanzenshuu is like the definitive online source for Dragon Ball information, they're great.
 
Has anyone else read the Osomatsu-san manga? I have both volumes. My favorite chapter is Chapter 22, in which Ichimatsu and Todomatsu have a rap battle only to lose to their mother.

From what I understand, the first two arcs are basically just the Battle of Gods and Resurrection F movies with a few added bits. It picks up once it gets passed that.
 
I need to catch up on Super. I only watched the first two episodes.
