All Purpose Dragon Ball Thread

Honestly the earlier episodes of Super are the reason why I prefer it when new DB media come out every few years as opposed to annually,
I'm not worried about the animation thing. These DBS errors happened 9 years ago and it was only at the beginning of DBS.

Then what did we have? This here.


People love putting up these stills from the beginning of DBS to talk about how bad the whole thing was. But no one talks much about how everything has improved over the years.

TOEI itself improved, improving One Piece, improving Dragon Quest, etc.

I want to make it perfectly clear that I'm not judging DBS' animation as a whole from those stilts of earlier episodes, I would be completely unfair to acknowledge that the animation did improve substantially and by the ToP ended it was absolutely godlike. What I'm trying to say, however, is that those early episodes turned out the way they did because of crunch on the animators and it showed in the final production that they weren't given enough time.

Obviously digital animation has immensely advanced over the last couple years and that may no longer happen in the future for DB, but I'd rather see the animators be given 2-3 years to whip up something special as opposed to every year you know? I don't want them to go through crunch to get out more DB content
 
Other verse whataboutism isn't helping, Androids are not getting infinite speed based soley of infinite energy because they don't have infinite in-verse AP and have speed relative to characters with finite Ki

DBS is either MFTL+ or Immeasurable through Hit shenanigans (pretty sure it's treated as an outlier currently), but infinite speed comes from nowhere especially with non-infinite universes
I will always stand by that goku moved into the future with hit

To hell with that, Toei deserves to be chastised relentlessly for how badly Dragon Ball is animated now compared with the good old days!

Oh wait, this isn't Super...

Seeing how Demon Slayer made tons of money with mediocre story but a great anime, Toei/Shueisha could make tons of cash if they put more ressources into the Dragonball anime.

They could make it seasonal and keep switching it between One Piece and Dragonball so they don't have to share ressources

In addition to Toei being a gigantic company, Dragon Ball has had its own division within Toei since 2018.

So there is no such thing as "splitting resources".

Seriously, in 2021 TOEI was simultaneously making
"TV: World Trigger, One Piece, Precure, Digimon, Dai.
Movies: Digimon, Digimon 02, Dragon Ball Super, Precure"

And did we have bad animation in Super Hero? No.
 
One maybe two guidebooks say so, 99% of all guidebooks say it's from Earth+Z Warriors.
We see Goku asking for the energy of Earth exclusively. At no point he asks for the energy of the Universe.
In fact, in the anime Dragon Ball Super and manga Dragon Ball Super it is mentioned that it was energy from the entire Universe and not just from Earth, Furthermore, even the other world gave energy directly in the manga
