Kanzenshuu

The background itself is gorgeous, but what makes it terrible is how bad it clashes. Just look at this, you have a completely flat, undetailed character with almost literally zero shading (aside from a few very, very simplistic small areas near his armpits, boots, belt, and neck) against a very det...

The cheek shading on that close up is terrible as well
And why 3 small spikes between the ear and the eyebrow?

Yep, I'm also gonna miss that art so much

It seems you are setting up for failure with those expectations. Toei made the decision nobody here did, people are simply giving their reasons as to why Toei did and why they like the change. You holding this to people is kind of ridiculous. It might not work out, sure but that doesn't necessarily...

On a technical aspect I'm 100% sure this movie will blow 130 out of the water, but I'm also sure you will be here to complain about the movie's animation because the art won't be as detailed as you want it to be. Oh yes, it's a fact that the movie is going to have to double work on animation depart...

Ok, all this discussion is gonna be sorted out only when the movie airs, it has a fire trial to surpass what ep 130 did that is the best thing Dragon Ball ever produced and yeah, using the designs all of you hate. If it turns out that this movie isn't WAAAAYYYYY better animated and never show more e...

So many people afraid of change... :roll: This ain't about change, its about quality. The art design is too simple and generic. True, if the face of the initial propotional art screamed one piece to me, this trailer just confirmed it, dragon ball is gonna lose it's identity to become "just lik...

Don't like it, this approach makes a larger line between the art and the background, goku is just thrown in a scenario completely out of any consistency, just like ps1 games like resident evil, ff, etc. And they are definitelly exaggerating with no shading at all. Not to mention that it looks like g...

Yes, he did.

Thanks
Holy crap, that's a big staff
I can't find where Otsuka and Ishikawa contributed to the episode though

I'm wondering, did ajay post the staff for ep 130?

I knew my boy Higashide was there, those spins are dinstinctive from him.

Man, this episode is the bestest the entire Dragon Ball franchise has ever regurgitated, period.

Now imagine if the Trunks arc had episodes like this? Holy shit.

It really makes me wonder what Super could have looked like with a proper schedule.

Hopefully toei will learn his lesson once dragon ball returns

Perfect, just perfect, nothing else to say

Thats better, not that round design, but I don't like the pointy noise that resembles uchiyama

Yamamuro's worst offence was the damned highlights especially on base Goku made him too ugly then he added an extra back spike for no reason. If his designs never had highlights I think they would have been a lot more serviceable. Perhaps. I always thought Goku Black looked better in the anime than...

Is your problem with the new design just the fact Takahashi isn't the one in charge of them? It's really obvious I'm meaning the buu arc designs, I thought that was even more clarified when I said "just like Yamamuro was chosen taking Maeda's place long time ago". Even the cell arc design...

Even after being proved wrong you still hold this budget thing high up, you've got my congratulations for keeping your ignorance for so long, if you're not willing to argue with these people without resorting to think of budgets and stuff that don't apply to this case, you should really leave this ...

Simple designs mean more movement. The fact this is a movie doesn't mean it can have both extremely detailed art and awesome movement, unless you want to have a lot less action and overall less animation. Simple designs give more freedom to the animators, as they will be able to animate more moveme...

Budget isn't the issue. The issue is time. The more lines the harder it is to animate and draw. Simple designs with more pleasing shapes is the best way to go for character designs because they're more easy to animate quickly and nicely while also being easy to draw promotional art for.
