The fluidity of the animations is jaw dropping! And I have to admit I REALLY like the dynamic camera when you charge an attack, so much personality. The shake for quick charging and when the charge finishes is a nice feature as well. I would love to play with the hud toggled off, so I like that there is such a feature.
At this stage even with these old effects as you call them, they do look good in motion so I can imagine them getting even better and natural looking. The lighting effects in the atmosphere against the rain and the distant explosions are an epic sight to behold.
The jerking camera when you swoop also ads a little something to the way movement looks. I think that was also a great choice
I remember saying I thought the beams looked too skinny before, well I take that back. From the running animation we get to glimpse to the biblical spirit bomb. I have to say. This truly is the best looking piece of DBZ since the anime itself!
