Re-animated scenes you actually liked?

Hey, everyone. While re-watching Kai, I always had this thought in the back of my mind. While the redrawn scenes were inconsistant and didn't always mesh with the original animation, there were a few choice scenes I thought looked quite good. Any there that stick out to anyone else as well-done? BTW, screencaps are preferred, as long as they're not ridiculously large.

Here's a few samples of ones that I rather liked:










Feel free to post ones you like, guys!

The new opening was pretty good

I'm not a big fan of the reanimated stuff. It's like the changes done to Star Wars. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

My main issue with the reanimated parts were that there was no line thickness difference. In all of the original hand drawn cells, you can see how the thickness varies along the lines. Most of the time this is deliberate as it adds depth - you can see Toriyama make huge use of this in Dragon Ball (less so in Z). However, in the reanimated scenes, they're all single thickness strokes and as a result, it just looks like lazily drawn over footage. It makes me wonder who exactly was in charge of these scenes? As someone with some background in this field of work, I know for a fact that pressure sensitivity is easily done digitally so I'm curious as to whether this was done to save time on animation or whether it was just amateurs working on the redos.

Despite that though, I think the main reason it sticks out so much is that the animation sits above the natural layer of grain that the show has. I do wonder how well it would have meshed if they'd added a digital layer over the top. I'm sure the design decision was to not do this simply to preserve image quality but I'm curious regardless.
