I kinda feel like the remaster just makes the animation look worse. Maybe the lower resolution of the original subconsciously lowers my expectations.

This. It was meant to be viewed at 480p.

I rewatched it like 10 years back I think? It was always this bad. I remember thinking “wow this animation is way worse than I remember” even back then when I was rewatching it. Nostalgia plays a huge part in my opinion. Like how you’d play games on the PS2 and think to yourself “wow games look so realistic these days” but when you go back they look awful compared to today’s standards.

  Later seasons do look much better, though. You can watch them upgrade their hardware in real time. Shadows, more polygons, more actors on screen, etc.

    It’s honestly pretty amazing to watch in hindsight instead of when they were being released. You can see the progress and it’s pretty cool.
