The good:
- Vastly improved animation. Could still use less recycling and be smoother in general, shit even lower budget anime pulls this off. But thank god speedlines are gone.
- Retard Ash from BW is gone, XY Ash is a smooth progression from Sinnoh League Ash.
- TR are a perfect mix of competent and silly, and slightly sympathetic.
- Battles and plots are mostly interesting, much less terrible filler than before.
- Remixed XY themes are fucking godlike (english dub notwithstanding).
- Serena and Clemont are likable. Bonnie is a gem.
The bad:
- Inconsistent quality, clearly throwing the budget around in different places.
- Missed opportunities everywhere, especially with the romance thing. Parfum episode was good, but disappointing.
- Serena needs to develop more as a trainer and character.
- The SCIENCE schtick is getting a little stale, some of the gags are too long.
- Previews are spoiling things too much. Especially when it's like
>Ep 25: Ash battles Zakuro
>Ep 26: some filler
it's obvious that Ash is going to win in one episode.
- Subs taking ages now.
