Agreed. The first 2 movies still had that martial arts movie feel to them kinda like OG Dragonball. I've said this before but movies 1&2 seem so much different than movies 3-13.

13 consecutive frames of animation on Frieza's face and all of them look like this:

This shit right here, I hate it. Goku looks so weird and craptastic. That derp eyes, puffy cheeks, smooth, soft jawline. Terrible.
It's interesting (and irritating, if I'm honest) that so many people blame "digital" for clean lines and lack of shading, detail, etc.
It's a stylistic choice. You can do a rough style digitally, and you can do a clean style on paper.
You're not crazy; he looks fine.

I agree, though the art when Goku and Majin Vegeta fought was amazing.
But the pinnacle was Cell Saga.
I'm pretty sure most people like SSJ4

And SSG and SSGSS look like every fan art recolor of preexisting screenshots relabeled as "Super Saiyan 6 Goku "

Quite literally something you would see on deviantart.
SS4 was great because it was something different, not just hey his hair is blonde and longer.
Now we just have hey his hair is blue. They didn't even keep the slender builds from SSG.
Why do people use the J in the SSJ? It makes 0 sense in english.
SSG and SSGSS look like an "original character do not steal" from Deviantart.
i'm japanese at heart, friend, one day i will move to japan and live among my people where i will be loved by all
Last I heard (though this may just be hope/rumor), they want to do over 100 episodes for Super. We know what the next arc - the first new arc - will be, but there will surely be more stuff after that.
The Frieza arc has one episode left then the new stuff starts. So it will the perfect time to jump in if you have watched the movies. There's also a couple of funny non movie episodes in between the battle of gods and the frieza stuff.
I think the lack of blood makes the current animation seem a bit sterile as well. There was a lot of blood used in DBZ to good effect.
It's fair to say that the majority of the animation is a massive downgrade when compared to the movies which is what we all do subconsciously. That's why it just seems so lacklustre.

How dare the animators put the extra effort to give freeza some facial experssions(That's actually a great shot imo).
Even the best animated anime episode will look terrible when you screen shot in-betweens,crop the image then in large distant character shots severely times there original insteaded size(yes even one punch man).
This episode was very far from bad, they were plenty of good animation in more of an expressive abstract form which is too be expected from the animator who worked on it(naoki tate).

It looked like nothing.

This episode had a few uncomfortable places where it looked like the animation was for speaking, but it was filled in with very slow chuckling...It's not even dubbed so that stuck out even more than it would have if it was in english. Was that just me?

Wait, they omitted the coolest part of the fight in Super?

That Naoki Tate gif has more animation than most non movie dragonball media

It's weird that Frieza is wrecking Goku, only to get slayed by "I'm tired!". The movie did it better - far more even, but with Frieza having a slight upperhand.
It's like, what's the point of the new form? Obviously they'll need to train it for the next arc and such, but it just feels underpowered after that big display with Beerus.

I wonder how the transformation would have been recieved if the original SS was changed for the SSG look (probably without that red aura technique used earlier)
For those curious, that's the equivalent of one-inch punch in Super.
I'm OK with this.
"Get your hand off of my face"-punch is good too.

I'll accept this.
