Anime fans across the globe were left gobsmacked when Dragon Ball Super seemed to take a huge dip in quality.

Titled “Decisive Battle on Kaio’s Planet! Goku vs. God of Destruction Beerus,” the fifth episode of Dragon Ball Super aired on August 9th, 2015.

Immediately following its broadcast, many viewers expressed their disappointment with the episode’s exceptionally low quality production, particularly the climatctic battle sequence between Goku and Beerus.

It's got to suck when you tune in to watch Goku, one of the most globally iconic heroes in modern history, and what you get is... this.

The fight has already been seen in "Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods" in high definition, so naturally, comparing the movie quality and 'Super's' quality, fans see just how bad it is.

The quality of the show's animation looks like something off an amateur production company, or something an animation artist would post on YouTube from his final year in animation school.

As it is still early in the series, it can be expected that Toei Animation will heed to the needs of their fans.

Anyway, it is still quite surprising to see a big budget series like this have very obvious lapses of animation quality.
