I know Kunzait doesnt think much of Precure,but I do love this article. The animators and directors of Precure have always found ways to overcome the limitations that are imposed on them. Especially by Toei. Does anyone have such stories of where the animators and directors used their freedom within limitation to pull off quality work in Dragon Ball?

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

U2's former producer Brian Eno has commented on building strength through limitation, but that was something that the band members recognized about themselves. Eventually, the sound would be theirs, so it's not just limitation by itself, but the power to overcome it.
