Super Animation Catalogue 2.0

[Octorockandroll]

If you were to show the cut to someone who is completely unfamiliar with Naruto and ask them what the tone of the show is, they'll probably assume it's a lighthearted series with a comedic focus...

You say that, but I don't buy it. Maybe if whoever was watching had the TV muted and ignored the fact that the "goofy" animation was actually displaying the guys beating the shit out of one another, you could mistake it. You'd literally have to not be looking or listening for extended periods to mistake it for comedy.

If Goku punching King Piccolo was animated like this, I wouldn't like it. However, if it was Krillin punching Bacterian (or if you want an example that better uses this style, Handa-kun punching that asshole critic) I would think it's pretty good.

Not the best example. Let's instead make it the Bacterian fight vs. beginning of Goku x Vegeta, since that fight was more animated and more analogous.

Even if we substitute that, it's still ass-backwards. Creativity is best shifted toward climaxes, otherwise, the memorable portions of the narrative would be like DBS Episode 64. If you didn't like it, that's one thing, but the placement is solid.

Well I'm sorry but I don't think the placement is that solid at all. I don't really see why we would be taking sound and music into account in a discussion regarding animation and I especially don't see how people getting the shit beaten out of them stops something from being comedic. There's a ton of comedic potential in that kind of action, so much so that there's an entire genre of comedy based around it; slapstick. It's just a really silly bit of animation in an otherwise serious moment, hence why I and the others on here feel it would be more at home in a silly situation.

Are you seriously saying that Dragonball Super has worse animation than Naruto Shippudenn? That show does have some good animation, sometimes. Often it looks closer to this.

My gosh, I think I would puke if we ever got something similiar to that in Super, anyway Naruto Shippuden might have more effort in animation than the Dragon Ball series, but most fights in the show lacks impact and are unappealing, Kakshi vs. Obito is an example of that, they look like dolls punching each other, the SFX doesn't help in that either, fights in Dragon Ball were way better IMO.

Ppffftt people are just jealous cuz they can't animate masterfully like Lord Yamashita. Stick to your Tadayoshi Yeahmuhmodelz, puny ningen! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Not sure if serious. I'm pretty sure almost every user on this site has a unanimous dislike for what Yamamuro's been doing lately.

No, it often does not look like that. Thats like saying dragon ball super often looks like this

No. Aside from 2 or so of the episodes of the retellings, Dragon Ball Super never had key frames that were even close to that example. You've been drinking the Kool-aid.

If we're operating on a scale of the above gif to the Madara fight, the vast majority of the early parts of Super (and arguably some of the later parts as well) definitely looked closer to the lower end.

Obviously Dragon Ball Super's animation isn't at the level of Naruto. I haven't seen Naruto, but it isn't difficult to jump to that conclusion, given how Super came out of nowhere. Though the issue of too many filler and some bland episodes still exist with Naruto as some of my friends tell me. Many people say Toei are incapable of doing it, but I think that's wrong. I have heard that One Piece has some really good animation from time to time. If someone is to blame, its not necessarily Toei but the others involved who got them into starting the show out of nowhere. Anyway things are looking much better now, but we still need more improvement. Hope we see that in the future. Lets see how Nagamine and Takamura handle the show. I am of the opinion that Nagamine wasn't a last minute hire unlike Hatano Morio, since he storyboarded and directed the OP himself. Though that doesn't mean that everything is going to be normal again. But this arc is off to a good start, better than the U6 arc and even the Trunks arc. Because we have had some good animation and heavy outsourcing as the same time. Hope the trend continues because it will really help improve the schedule and we see a influx of more talented animators. Fingers crossed.

I'm not sure why we're using the above example to facilitate horrible animation. True, it's not the most well executed piece of animation from #167, but it still has a natural flow to it.
I feel like if we were to say what Super often looked like during the movie rehashes, this would probably be a better example. This is because you could directly corralate these scene between the action sequences in Super.

Actually when I orogonally made my point about Naruto also having some pretty off animation I had that entire scene in my post, it was just timmed by people when quoting me to cut down on space.

I guess I just find it strange that people are instantly drawn to that scene, which actually has some flow to it, instead of the obviously more poorly animated scenes you posted in your original post, as well as what I've posted above, in which to create a comparison with Super.

Well that's missing some of the context of the original post, but yeah, the gai fight is closer in style of weird jankiness to some of Super's stuff.

Somehow if I watch another anime with a beautiful and outstanding animation, the enjoyment is just not as big as watching Super regular fights.
It's weird, I guess I'm to sticky to the Dragon Ball Franchise, but sure it's hard to be a dedicated fanbase.

Its like living in a villa one day, and the other day you live in a cheap ass house; its not quite the same.

I should've been more specific, sorry

I meant designs for other series'

But thanks anyway

(Also, isn't the 3rd shot by Tsuji?)

Sorry about that, I'm thinking that Vegeta shot was probably Tate with maybe minor Tsuji corrections. It has a lot of Tates traits in it.
