The quality of the animation is important, but the consistency of the quality of the animation is even more important IMO. Studio Pierrot has been really, really inconsistent with the animation quality per episode (per scene, even). Granted, they hire different animation teams for each episode, but still, there has to be at least some standard as to how things are animated in the series. The tailed beast bombs are another good example of how inconsistent they are. Most episodes do a boring bubbles-slowly-zoom-in animation for the charging, even for the largest bombs, and the explosion just looks like a flash. Compared to the Juubi's over-the-top laser attack animation, which so far has been the most visually destructive attack and has had a more chaotic charging animation, the other bombs just look weak. I was severely disappointed by the later-form Juubi's attacks after that one. Also worth noting is the sudden decision to make the fired bombs from the other tailed beasts turn from a voidish purple to an orange glow after 329.
