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

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

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.

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.
