The change from being a weekly show to a more highly-produced seasonal show seems to have really paid off for them.
The extra time spent really shines in the animation. These episodes are just fun to watch no matter what’s happening on screen. There’s a lot of subtle details and nuance to the way things are done that simply didn’t exist in the older stuff, arguably even the movies. For the first time in a long time I’m rewatching episodes multiple times because I’ve missed things while reading subtitles or something.
I don’t want to over sell it, they haven’t reinvented the wheel or something, but for this series it’s gold IMO.
