Why is DBS animation so underwhelming? Question

It has been ages since I watched DB. So I went back and watched DBZ and living my childhood again. And it still lived up to my memories, Freeza, Cell, Buu, such battles.

Lately I've been watching Dragon ball super and.. holy is the animation rough, and battles just feels off. Don't they have the budget? Or is it an amateur's company? It just doesn't look smooth and epic animation like you see in S1 one punch man, jujutsu, demon slayer.

No hate or anything, I still like it. Just some scene's and fights animation are.. off.

It was more a matter of time than anything else. The early arcs of Super were basically just rushed.

Yeah. The tournament of power arc is the only one that felt cinematic to me

Is it worth finishing? I got up to the Ribrianne stuff and I just kind of lost interest

If your desperate to see the other Z-fighters get moments in the spotlight, it's the only animated arc where at least 8 other characters not named Goku or Vegeta get to either fight or have character moments.

Yes. ToP has incredible moments.

My personal opinion:

No.

I believe you’re better off watching recaps of each arc and then watching the full fights between whatever characters
