I don't know if it is because of Yamamuro, but I dislike the look of Super in general, with the shiny colours and the white things on the bodies. Zamasu was the only character without that and he looks awesome imo. The fights that happened on the future also lacked that for the most part and I loved it.

I really prefer the style of the 2008 special.

His designs lack the life they used to have (though some of his art recently has been improving) and they aren't very animation friendly designs either.
His animation ability doesn't bother me so much since he actually animates rather infrequently, and unlike some others I actually do enjoy cuts with a camera locked to a character to show off the martial arts movement, those cuts just need to have more dynamic cuts around them and it'd be nice if the locked camera sequences at least had some dynamic stuff sprinkled within.

There are so many people that could be a better character designer than him, both in terms of giving the art more life and in terms of making the designs more animation friendly. His presence in the franchise seems to be dwindling and I hope someone replaces him as character designer on Super after the Survival arc.
