Way too many tens! Shaky cam =/= better animation
All these people overrating made me bring down my rating by a couple points.There's some pretty big flaws animation wise. Plot was nonexistent but that's okay sense it was obvious from the title that it's just going to be about pokemon fighting. There's a shit ton of beams flying around and monsters getting hit with them but getting right back up after a couple seconds. Just your ordinary anime physics. A lot of scenes were just some flashy effects, a camera shakes and character moving in some ungainly way. Shaky cam does not cover the poor tweening. The animation was long and the fight was decently scripted but it's been done so many times: "Rivals team up to face an overpowered enemy . . . etc . . . in the end they all work together to defeat him".
Nonetheless the choreography was okay but it loses tons of points for the characters flying around the entire time and using only beam attacks. Also it's impossible to really understand what's going on when you don't have all the characters in proximity to Raquaza in the same shot at least some of the time. This forces you to animate even when characters aren't in the action. And last but not least the final fight scene was uninspired at the least. You took it right out an ep of DBZ it's a bunch of horrible lines across the screen as characters fly around faster than we can see which makes a perfect excuse for the animator to NOT animate. To be frank this is a flashy 6 it's unoriginal and uninspired but maybe still interesting. It's DBZ meets "insert here". It's a decent animation but deserves way more criticism than it's getting.
