The 'Dragon Ball Super Quality Controversy' refers to the viral backlash regarding the subpar animation in the early episodes of the series, specifically Episode 5. Fans were shocked by off-model drawings of iconic characters like Goku and Beerus, which contrasted sharply with the high production value of the 'Battle of Gods' movie. This template is widely used to highlight the discrepancy between hyped expectations and disappointing results, or to mock instances of 'lazy' animation in the industry. It remains a staple in the anime community for critiquing budget cuts and tight production schedules.
