Super Animation Catalogue 2.0

[BakaManiaHD]

Also did anyone notice that in the extended version of the 15 sec preview of the new arc in Toei's channel, they didn't add an instrumental version of the new opening song and instead they used an effect like audacity's lyrics remover? If you listen closely in the end you can hear the singer's voice in the background, compressed.

Did both these issues happen because the deadlines are so close?

i think this is a just an echo effect added by the composer for the instrumental

Really? I am no music expert but the background noise did sound like actual words. Maybe you are right or maybe the song has more than one singer and this part sounds in the background? we will see

I like the new colors (the ones in the preview, not the NEP)

If they do some tweaking here and there it's going to look really good. Really seems like this new arc will be a soft reboot of Super.

I think what it actually is are just layered vocals that haven't been muted. It's pretty common to build up a singer's voice through multiple layers, especially with effects added.

They will have been sent the individual components of the track, and whoever put the trailer together forgot to mute the reverb track along with the main vocals.

The Japanese version looks so much better. I think that version is the more definitive one, and the actual episode will look somewhat like that. The Videl-Gohan, Buu-Satan, Vegeta shots in it looks way better than the Crunchy one. It will be great if Ajay or any one of you can do a side by side comparison.

Interesting. You're right. There are extra lighting effects on the simulcast:

Everything's blown out in the NEP compared to the preview.

Oh my god, the 18 and the Roshi shots look so much better in the Japanese version, hope the final broadcast is more like that one. The sky in particular is much less straining on the eyes.

Yeah. That's pretty much what I thought.
The song sounds energetic and the animation detailed and interesting. Everything looks great so far in terms of the actual production (Heck we get multiple pvs...even though there are the same video just extended). Can't wait to see the new ending animation.
I dont think you ever talked about Chozetsu Dynamic ( except that Tate worked on some parts) but wasn't the storyboard too plain for an op?

It's not even the full OP. Calm down.

So, is Super going for a more cell animation type of look now? Seems rather odd to do it almost 80 episodes into the series

No not at all. That filter looks nothing like the way Z looked like in the 90s.

Nope.
I am excited about the show getting better.
It's the first actual time that we should be excited.

I've seen a few shows go for this type of look and it's clearly inspired by cell animation

Episode 76

[/spoiler]

I've also updated the catalogue to include Itai's other episodes.

His long jaws remind me of Toshiyuki Kanno after Ebisawa let him do his own thing.

[kinisking]

Wasn't itai a supervisor 3 weeks ago? He'd crazy fast. Also itais style looks like shimanukis in that upper left picture.

[Avok]

I hope Toei is really going with that filter thing. The color palette of Super is goddam awful as it is. Everything looks flat and too sharp.

I don't like the way the lines blur in the preview and compared to other long-runnings it looks rather poor, but if they go with it it is a sign that they're testing and finally working on post-processing. In the long run it could be very very positive for the series. Weird things is that the arc preview with the Gods doesn't look anything like it, and the colors are the same as before.

I didn't even notice this, but now that you have mentioned it I believe it does look rather nice! I get a bit of a Madhouse vibe actually. I felt overall this episode was a testing ground. Things were a bit off model, perhaps it was rushed to allow them to try some more post-processing? Either way, I do hope we see more like this in the future!

For a period of time, we actually thought some of Itai's work was uncredited Shimanuki, so I'm not surprised you say that. Itai worked under Shimanuki a fair bit, so I wonder if he was influenced to a degree.

Today's episode was pretty weak in terms of animation, very basic, without any fighting choreography at all.

I love the last two minutes of the episode tho, just as the leave the forest.

Next week is surprising. I don't like at all the excessive bloom/lighting effect that was used (in particular, in the opening Goku scene, it feels weird), but i have to say i like those kind of colours.

Can't wait to see more.

It's a week before the new arc and instead of having breaks (like they should) they gave us 2 pretty enjoyable episodes. Give them a break

No it looks different. The Japanese version or rather the arc preview has effects similar to the NEP, but the skin done is darker or rather less lighter, the contrast has been turned down a little and the dark black lines surrounding the characters is thinner, making them look less blurry than the NEP version. Its different, at the same time not too crazy like the NEP version.

It actually has the same effects as the Japanese NEP, you can clearly see it in the final scene showing Goku's face.
