Comparing a long runner to a cour anime is pointless.

let's compare it to Hunter x Hunter (2011) then? That anime has wonderful animation and is 148 episodes long.

Dragon Ball Super just aired 5 episodes and it's already fucking garbage. That Toei Animation quality.. that Toei Animation seal of approval.

I know it just started, but anyone know how many episodes this will be in total?

Based on what everyone is saying, it sounds like it's a remake of the Battle of Gods movie but slightly longer. If that's the case, I might just wait until 20 or so episodes are out before I start watching since I've seen the movie already.
Toei announced it would be at 100

Pretty sure it's gonna be Bulma and the kids that will anger Beerus, and not Vegeta.

Incompetent studio

You can insult the studio till the cows go home, doesn't change the fact they are more successful than madhouse and any animation studio you like.

It doesn't work like this, DBS is predicted to have more than 100 eps, so only having 5 eps so far is irrelevant.

doesn't change the fact that they're garbage? And it doesn't change the fact that only 5 episodes aired so far.

Who cares if they're successful?
Im just saying they're incompetent and simply bad. Shitty studio all-around. Sooner or later people will figure it out.

Until then they'll stay shitty and successful I guess, but them being successful won't change my opinion. Toei Animation is bad and vastly inferior compared to other studios.

It kind of says a lot to me that one of the most commented on episodes of a show that has been surprisingly good up until now (I thought the animation would be poorer from the get go) just so happens to be the shows first major miss as far as animation quality goes, further providing evidence to my theory that a lot of people really just want something to bitch about. Like it's true, this episode was a "shame" to put it nicely, but the way people are dog piling and just spewing hatred, they don't actually care about the show or what happens from here, they just want in on the drama and the moment of hate.

Wow, the budget constraints are glaringly obvious. I don't know what's worse, King Kai's seiyuu or how poorly the fight was handled animation-wise. I thought that the continuation of such a popular series as Dragon Ball would get better treatment than this. I'm not mad considering I've already watched the movie, but hopefully someday Toei gets it together for future arcs.

I don't think so

People care a lot about DB that's why they don't want to see it tarnished with the typical horrible Toei animation, like what happened to series such as Saint Seiya and Sailor Moon Crystal

Well what else is there to talk about with this episode? Nothing that makes up for the bad presentation. It doesn't help that a much better paced and animated version of these events already exist in the film. I personally am more annoyed with how it's taken 5 episodes just to reach this point with most of the show being filled with hot air.

I mean, the other episodes were really limited animation wise. This was the first big episode that really needed it, and they messed it up.

No. We as the fan base care about dragon ball since it's a classic anime for us which is why we are upset about how toei handled the show's first major fight and the rest of the epidsode . To not complain about it would just imply that we are OK with this horrid animation. If you're fine with it ok, but we can say our opinion regardless. This has nothing to do with wanting to be in on the hate.

It was a good episode, and the first big fight of the series, but the animation really brought it down. It's no surprise that people are upset.

The animation had sub-par animation, but posting still capture screenshots is not exactly proof of that. Animators tend to make the characters off-model quite a bit, like Yusuke Urameshi's face here at 2:46 yet still pull off fantastic animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHekmQ3TZNk

With that being said, the animation itself was not very good to "explain" the cheaply drawn models of the characters. This isn't the first time this has happened though, Masayuki Uchiyama was responsible for A LOT of terrible animation in Dragon Ball Z (RIP btw, died in 2010)

It was still fifth, that's a step-up from last week's 7th. It's not gonna get cancelled. 5.3 is ridiculously good for any other anime series. And we all know DB merchandise sells a lot, so it's not gonna get the boot even if it eventually does poorly in TV ratings.

I just simply bitch about the animations due to it being totally logical to bitch about bad animations, people make things so unnecessary complicated by assuming people thinking this that and when they do those things to empower the thing they are bitching about, especially if it's their childhood being butchered right in front of their very eyes.

Quality is bad, the end.

^ Actually, although in those Naruto scenes the animation looks derpy, it still has a smooth flow and fluidity. Here, it's not only derpy but looks like they cut out like 20 frames out of each second, and it looks stiff as fuck.

My thoughts, exactly.
At least in Naruto the art was bad, but the animation made up for it. In DBS it was a complete fail in both aspects
