an amusing comparison

[mochi]

Classic Dragonball , which ran in the 1980's had animation like this

whereas Dragonball Super, which airs NOW, is lucky if it manages this quality

 

I hate to be one of those anime fans

 

 

 

but I cannot deny that anime, on average, looked a lot better in the 80's

Funny enough, that Super GIF is considered one of the show's LOW points in animation quality.

[CaptainStarwind]

I definitely think that GIF looks better than anything in Super.

I'm also definitely biased in saying that, because I prefer anything that was hand-drawn and inked over digital ink and paint.  Thus, pretty much anything produced in the 80s and 90s looks better to me.

Shows can still have good art and animation these days, but modern day Toei is notorious for being cheap and lazy, and other studios just suck.

Yeah compare Toei to White Fox. Toei just specializes in mass produced poorly animated crap.

The second one looks like a flash animation. Also, nice reminder with the first image...when Piccolo's blood was red instead of purple.

Kind of an odd scene to choose when Beerus moving like that is an intentional visual gag.

that's because at that point Piccolo (and Goku) were assumed to be earthlings

it hadn't been retconned that he was an alien yet

I think they should have kept it as it was. Not everything alien needs to have different colored blood. Red would work.

Wasn't it also green at one point?

Piccolo was intended as a demon originally.  Though, Piccolo and Kami were speaking some unknown language at the tournament.  Could have been foreshadowing for the upcoming alien reveal during the Saiyan Saga.  Goku was based on the character from Journey to the West, and basically a were-ape, one of many unusual but not alien creatures of the Dragon Ball world.

Also you barely see any of the cartoon animal characters in Z, with the exception of the dog president.
