I strongly, strongly disagree with this. Animation techniques may be different these days, but that does NOT mean they're always necessarily better. It's really a matter of taste...as a person who grew up on 80's and 90's anime, I much prefer the hand-drawn look of the original series to the digitized stuff they used in the OP and ED. Animators didn't make the switch because it's the superior art form, they did it because it's more practical and makes their lives a whole lot easier.

And secondly, expecting them to re-animate everything is just absurd. There's no such thing as a long-winding shounen series with stunning animation every episode...it's just not reasonable. The amount of effort and hours they'd have to put in would mean it'd never be able to keep the weekly schedule. Even modern day ones like Naruto still see their dips.
