It’s not. It’s made now, but if the anime was made in the 1990s, the show would probably look something like this.

On Deviant Art, the incredibly talented Salvador Vera has uploaded some images of Dragon Ball Super done up in a Dragon Ball Z art style. The results look fantastic. But first, this might help explain the difference.

The above image is done in the Dragon Ball Super visual style.

And now for a DBZ style take. Dragon Ball Z, of course, was broadcast in Japan from 1989 to 1996 and still looks terrific to this day.
Here are more of Vera’s 1990s reworking of Dragon Ball Super.

It’s kind of uncanny the big difference that a second degree of shadows instead of a second degree of lighting make! I’d say the former looks better, but I’m afraid it may be mostly nostalgia.
The shadows are nice, but everyone looks shiny.
The animation in DBZ is superior to Super.
