I might as well take this opportunity to mention that I am extremely bummed that I haven't been able to see Friday's episode. I had to go out at the time it was on so I made sure my DVR was set to tape it, but for some strange reason it didn't tape.
But it does sound good that the animation was improved. That is a plus. And for the most part I have gotten used to the animation, just there are occasions when I still haven't quite softened up completely to it.
