I knew 97 was heavily corrected. It looked too good to be Kitano.
EDIT: Hmm. Can't seem to see the new images.

Wow watching the dub the first half of #26 was fantastic!! Tate's cut in that half is still my favourite he has done on Super. I am actually kind of surprised at how great the first half looked, the art everything was on point.

I know right! ROF has some hidden gems and Tate work in EP 26 is one of them, it just a shame the second half of the episode is the shits visually. It was same deal in episode 25. All of the focus was on the first half of the episode.

Yeah you can clearly tell the Shimanuki corrections in the latter half which saved the second half from being a total disaster. And yeah last week as well was surprised at how decent the first half looked.
I'm gonna need to collect some SSGSS shots from this episode!
I'm not sure I'm understanding all the praise this episode is getting in terms of choreography? Unless I'm just using the phrase wrong, I don't see how anything in this episode was good choreography. Repeated frames over and over, Caulifla vs Goku fight was literally just animating their arms and legs going back and forth. Kale vs Goku just had Goku doing repeated frames of backflips for most of it.
I liked this episode overall but can anyone care to tell me what I'm missing here when it comes to the choreography? I even watched the episode twice to focus more on the fight and it was still disappointing to me. Kale vs Goku was a lot better than Caulifla vs Goku though.

I agree with you that the Goku vs Caulilfa fight wasn't great by any means, but I have to say that Goku vs Kale was definitely made up of far more than just Goku backflipping, there is plenty of interesting movement and effects there.

Also Ajay, thanks for the update, it was much needed.

Meh. It was definitely a LOT better than the Goku vs Caulifla fight, but I'm still not really impressed. Not to say I'm disappointed in it, I just don't get all the praise. It was okay. Everything looks like it's going in slow motion and nothing stands out to me as looking all that interesting.
Does the anyone who did this? The character art and shading is downright mesmerizing, it's quite possibly the best modern Dragon Ball character art I've ever seen. It's like every character has a personality of their own, even the less enthusiastic characters like Jiren and the other Gods of Destruction.

I think it might be Nakatsuru.

It's not, it some unknown artist who does a ton of Heroes art.

I'll be frank, I think the praise around the Goku vs Kale fight is relegated to it for just being a very solid fight scene. It's not particularly over the top, though I must say I do like the scene where Goku dodges the ki blasts only to be clothes-lined by Kale through a large boulder and thrown out the other side, that was probably the strongest part of the cut. It's not perfect by any means, but I think a lot of people are just satisfied with getting a solid fight scene .
Well fanservice can be quite boring sometimes but at least here Super's fast pacing helped. Nothing offensive or "Jesus please stop" moments.
They already used the best storyboard moments in movie 8 so can't wait to see what they will do next

Sometimes you have to appreciate the fact that a battle is simple and clean with few references. People still hesitate to trust super. These safe battles are important for them

Must be the same guy, who draws Dokkan battle cards. He draws Goku always angry with small eyes

The info's been there since 100 aired, and no, there is no image.
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.
ArchedThunder wrote:I'm not sure what you're saying here, can you rephrase it?
Last episode had some bad art IMO, but I think the one might be better by what I saw in the NEP.
Okay, I thought you were saying that there was some bad art in the NEP.
But yeah, I've got high hopes for 101. Pretty consistently the NEPs leave out the highlight of an episode and pretty much everything in there looks good, and sometimes the NEPs will even make an episode look worse than it actually is, so I'm excited to see what we'll get.

Not bad. The art is not as good as the usual "unknown artist" and I see that this one too, draws angry saiyans with these small eyes.
My biggest complain is how everyone has the same face (except Vegeta who is mad). It feels like Kitano drew it and then a 2ka went and corrected him
