The Pokemon Anime manages to look better with every new art shift, and its been going yearly for over 20 years, with the only break being the infamous porygon episode.

OLM, humorously enough, has former DBZ animators, such as Masaaki Iwane under their belt.

IE, the guy who did this scene from the Cell saga.

So yeah..

Just because it can work doesn't make it good. Especially seeing as how the pacing of the Pokemon anime is abysmal even when it's good.

Good animation does not translate to good writing. It can be the smoothest thing ever but it won't mean crap if the writing quality isn't up to snuff.

That doesn't really matter to people that like the idea of cataloguing the Sakuga of an anime.

Why is bringing up Pokémon's writing...when the animation was focus point?

Not even pointing out the quality of the show.

Good animation is pretty important in a series like Dragonball where a large part of the appeal is the fight scenes.

Right. I wonder why the Dragon Ball anime had better animation than Super? Maybe it is not the animation but the drawings?

I think the term you're looking for is smooth animation rather than good. The key frames have to be okay, of course, but if the in-betweens don't flow into each other well, it won't work either.

But I'm not into sakuga, so what do I know.

You know, one of the more bafflingly cynical things I heard before the preview came out was that the animation for the movie wouldn't look as good as the character design. This is despite said character design being deliberately less detailed and easier to draw than Goku's design in Super.

While we're on the topic of animation, Totally Not Mark did a collaboration with Anime Ajay talking about the Top 10 best animated moments of the Universal Survival Saga. This is Part 1.

10: Krillin and 18 vs Shousa

9: Krillin vs Goku

8: Liquer vs Arak vs Iwen

7: 17 vs SSB Goku

6: UIO Goku vs Disco Ball Kafla

5: Goku vs Super Ribrianne

4: 18 vs Giant Ribrianne

I totally missed the start of the giving-Shaggy-DB-transformations meme. How'd it begin, again?

Because Evolution has worked for Dragon Ball before, after all.

And Zamusu would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling Ningens, and that mangy cat.

So "Goku Black" was just a latex mask rather than the consequence of crazy body-switching?
