the new dragon ball doesn't look that good to me but it doesn't look offensively bad

@sun It's not objectively bad but they over promised. It's mid.

@sun They had a 2 year production to make sure nothing terrible happened like it did last time they attempted a reboot and it seems like all they did with it was extra corrections and making the few cuts of animation per episodes have good timing.
The storyboarding is honestly bad most of the time, the direction is not great, the world looks boring even though the compositing is technically solid.
The script is unimpressive so far. 6 episodes in, a month and a half, longer than a feature length film, and almost nothing has happened plot wise. This was also a problem with Toriyama's plot outlines for Dragon Ball Super. He doesn't give that much content for the story and the episode writers kind just have to pad it out with crap. Old Dragon Ball was slow too, but at least it dragged out tension. This isn't even tense, the characters are just wandering around like they're in the tutorial of an RPG.
