What? The first season of the show looks like ass. It hides it really well with well made still shots, all the color shifting and such, but for the majority it's barely animated, has bad CG (which is really awful in...episode 22 I think), and is still full of really jank key frames. It's a little cleaned up in the Toonami/home release, but the episodes as they aired generally looked pretty awful compared to almost everything else that was airing at the same time.
SDC's production is about 10x better than PB/BT's. Until the last stretch of episodes, where it kinda falls apart.
