I definitely agree about this new episode, but what was it that you didn't like about the first episode? Personally I thought it was a great way to incorporate RvB:Animated into the series as canon, and with it taking place within the Epsilon-Unit, I actually enjoyed the animation style, it looked cleaned up compared to how it used to look.

As for how the episode could be canon, the only way I see it is by being within a character's head, perhaps Simmons due to his being more technical so everything would be blocky? Otherwise, to me at least I will consider this one non-canon no matter what anyone says. I am glad that I'm not the only one who was immediately put off by the design of this new episode though.
