Super Animation Catalogue 2.0

Ishitani Megumi is director of the new OP. Also, I think the ED will be updated and she is in charge of that too.

Wonderful news. That means Toei recognizes her talents. She might end up becoming an episode director for Super one day. When that happens, we will be in for a really sweet treat, hopefully. It would be nice if she accepts that role in this new arc and work with these two new directors.

I didn't want to ruin the mood but I knew Yamamuro would be coming back. It was strange that he was gone so long but I felt like you guys interpreted it the way you did because of your hatred towards him .

But there is nothing stating him working on the OP or any of the upcoming episodes.

I'll eat my hat if he's not ADing the new opening. There's no way that's not him, just going by the new screenshots.

There was definitely some confusion as to whether he was taking more of a backseat roll after his lengthy absence and Chief ADs doing character designs. Not that Chief ADs doing designs is unusual, but with Yamamuro, it sure seemed it.

I think him doing all the promo art for the tournament was a pretty big sign he wasn't going anywhere, but with everything else combined, it was a bit confusing for a while. I wouldn't say that was anything to do with a distaste for him, even if the hope for it was based on that.

Might be the case. But lets hope for the best its not.

[ArchedThunder]

I guess Yamamuro was probably mostly absent from the last arc because of his work load for this arc, lots of designs to do. I wouldn't be surprised if a fair amount of the designs we'll see were 100% him as well instead of being based on a Toriyama design.
I wonder if we'll see him pop in to animate at all in this arc.

[Gashif Aldi]

Ajay's gone crazy in Twitter, and pulling jokes here and there.

I mean, what's wrong with Nagamine and Nakamura?
At least they're trying. Although I could see how many potentials this series could be. I mean, there's a lots of events in Japan that are Dragon Ball.

Dokkan Battle
A lots of festivals, I mean a lots of them.
Dragon Ball Heroes
DB Fusion
DBXV2
Even Dokkan Battle just crashed a few times in a day because of the 2nd anniversary. Or it crashes like every 10 minutes.

And freelancers will be attracted.
At least if Yammamuro's design is gone.

If the schedule weren't this bad. There would be a lots of freelancers. Just like how much DBZ had animators.

They just wasted on much, so much potential. I'm trying not to get trigerred.

[Saikyo no Senshi]

That's the point. They'll keep trying and still won't be able to do anything and then will be replaced by the end of the arc like Chioka and Hatano were.

[ArchedThunder]

Is it so hard to wait and see what happens? After these 10 weeks things may be stable and having these two as directors may have been part of the plan. We JUST had an episode from Nakamura, so people should hold back their over the top knee jerk reactions and actually WAIT to see how things turn out. We don't know what kind of planning was done, people just need to calm down and stop acting like it's the end of the world when we haven't even seen what the quality of the arc will be.

I love you so much dude, you put into words my thoughts about all this negativity.

[Gashif Aldi]

About Yamammuro being absent. He's probably correcting and animating all of those Dokkan fights (and storyline too).

At least he could help the series too. Maybe, he is like the other staff. He's afraid of the schedule.

[DragonBalllKaiHD]

One Piece had five series directors out of 774 episodes.

Naruto had three series directors out of 711
episodes.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) only had one series director out of 148 episodes.

Dragon Ball Super had five series directors out of mere 77 episodes.

Mario Hatano left.

The key animators and animation supervisors still worked on the fillers, despite being conservative, except Episode #75.

Two animation supervisors constantly helping out each episodes.

Two chief animation supervisors.

No character designer popping up in episodes.

The scripts are rushed.

These are the signs that the production is in a horrible shape.

[Shreyas_Singh]

I think episode 5 already gave us the idea about horrible priduction. It keeps getting worse.Now all we can do is keep calm and watch the creators trying to rescue a sinking boat with buckets.

No one is arguing that the show doesn't have a troubled production, but your continued ignoring of just what the last 10 weeks have been is incredibly aggravating. It's not just that they've been conservative, there is a laundry list of things that happened in the past 10 weeks that would imply they were working behind the scenes to improve the production and I reposted it for you the last time you brought this up and you just ignored it. The 5 series directors thing is also a bit misleading, there were only 2 for the first 67 episodes, Kohei was clearly brought in temporarily as the third for the filler and the 4th and 5th are being introduced together.
Morio leaving sucks, but we don't know the exact conditions of him leaving and we don't know when his two replacements were chosen, but judging by Nagamine's last episode of something it was very likely during the Future Trunks arc(potentially as early as August) and if the 10 weeks were to improve production then that plan was likely made back then as well.
Two Chief Animation supervisors isn't actually that irregular.
For the first 3 arcs Yamamuro popped up in one episode each, because of the large number of characters in the next arc he probably had to sit out the Future Trunks arc to work on designs for the Universe Survival arc.

The fact of the matter is that we don't know what kind of planning has been going on behind the scenes and we don't know what the production will be like for this arc, so people need to chill the fuck out and wait to see what happens, for all we know Nagamine and Nakamura's taking over could be the best thing to happen to the show.

It doesn't "Keep getting worse". The F arc saw a fall in quality from the BoG arc, but the Champa arc was an improvement and the Future Trunks arc was an improvement over that.

We don't even know if the last director quit. This decision might have been made purposely to improve the schedule . Ffs.

[Gashif Aldi]

I feel like 75 was actually more conservative. The Storyboards and Higashide are the stars of that episode.

I think something great is waiting in the future.

I think 75 coming out as good as it did was probably not necessarily intended, the stars just aligned and they had a great storyboard. Overall from an art and animation perspective it's actually not that different from a lot of what we've gotten in these 10 weeks.

I should clarify that my Twitter account isn't a good place to get my real opinions from. I just like to meme and be dramatic there, so that I can actually post worthwhile things here. Don't take my tweets seriously.

Here's the thing: I don't doubt that the animation will likely improve once again in this arc, but my negative reactions to the news are based on Super still being a total shit-show behind the scenes. It is. It's awful. Irrefutably trash.

It's embarrassing and it's not going to change. The effects of Super beginning too soon are always going to be felt, so forgive me if I want to lament over that piss-poor situation once in a while. Pretending things are fine and dandy is nothing but a lie.

It's great that we've acquired two terrific directors, and if the visual changes are their work, then my opinions on the look aside, it's nice to actually see a director's presence felt for once in Super's life. They might be great! These past two months might make for a big improvement, and I'm sure we'll have some terrific episodes.

I'm still not going to sit here and shut up, though. It's patchwork, as always. Super's straight up killing Toei's best directors left, right, and center. Nobody gets a chance to do anything cool in any worthwhile capacity. They do their work and then they vanish off into the wind. Every. single. time.

My positivity towards individual episodes does not change my thoughts or the reality of the situation when it comes to Dragon Ball Super as a whole. That sure isn't looking to change any time soon. I tend to keep quiet about it because it's not exactly a worthwhile discussion, but considering the news, it sure is today.

[Saikyo no Senshi]

And, I was just explaining Gashif what the point of the twitter conversation was which he seemed to have missed. That's it.

My personal opinion on DBS from the beginning has been that it is garbage and it has screwed up two of the finest Toei directors. And, after what happened to Hatano, I have every reason to believe that Nagamine will meet with the same fate. That's what everyone is worried about. Nobody is hating. It's called being worried.

Nobody is pretending everything is "fine and dandy", It's just that we DON'T KNOW how things are going to be this arc, we need to WAIT and see what, if anything, has happened in the background over these past few months. The doom and gloom is unnecessary and a big overreaction when we STILL don't know exactly what's happening. For all we know they've worked diligently in the background these past few months to put many or even all of Super's problems in the past, or things could even be a bigger dumpster fire than ever before, we just don't know because we are missing key information, such as how the episodes of this arc will actually turn out. It's fine to voice concerns, but acting like we know for a fact that everything is on fire right now is premature and an overreaction.
We need to just wait and see what happens.

Is not worrying, this is you stating matter of factly that they won't be able to do anything and will be gone at the end of the arc.
