Whatever that was... I NEED more of it.

It's actually really good animation. It's making me more excited for all the talent being part of this new movie.
I'm shocked a French company is helping out. Well, technically I guess they're not French since they're based in Japan but got started by French people...
Yeah I thought the same.
Damn could you imagine the possibility of Super's animation being greater with their assistance? Such a shame that there schedules didn't allow them to work alongside them,

Shida is much better than Takahashi. His work in ep130 is better than anything I've seen Takahashi do. Takahashi is close, and his KA is really great too, but Shida with his camera rotations, crazy movements and effects is just more advanced in every way.

Takahashi is definitely a bit overrated, he is one of the best, but I feel like people call him number 1 because he uses the art style from the Buu saga. With KA alone, I would put him at the level of Higashide and Nikaido, maybe a bit better due to his detailed art, but Shida is on a class of his own.

People are overrating Takahashi. He is great but people shouldn't say that he is better than Shida when he is not.

IMO it wont look that good in the new artstyle.
I think they can find a way to make it for this new artstyle.

I think a lot of people say Takahashi is better than Shida because of his art, but Shida's art is just as amazing. We just don't see it nearly as often.

I think so. It just comes down to Tate's schedule and what parts do they need him to do.

So um, any speculation on staff who people want or think might work on the film?

I wouldn't put it past Tate being on the film, and considering how much he did for One Piece film: Z, and the fact his also presumed to have animated the teaser trailer, I think its safe to say Ryo Onishi is going to pop up to do something.

Judging by there involvement on Super, what would people say the probabilty of Kenta Yokoya, Urata Yukihiro and Ken Otsuka contributing something to the film? I feel like it would be great opportunity for everyone to highlight how nuts their work can be, espicially considering a lot of them had fairly limited and lacklustre runs on Super.

So why is it that a thread like this would be stickied, one day after it was made but then something like the Dragon Ball Super Official Announcement & Discussion Thread which is the most viewed and replied to topic on the website and where pretty much all the news on the series goes to, hasn't been stickied in the three years that it's been made?

I'm not knocking anything, I'm genuinely just curious about it. Like how the Fact Checker was stickied even though that stopped being updated with Episode 51 and hasn't had a post at all in a month but then the TV Ratings thread isn't stickied even though that's active and updated every week.

Well, I guess moderator creation and approval has something to do with it.

I'm surprised that they're using a French studio on the animation, but their work is very impressive. Hoping for great fights in this.

Obviously the mods are being subjective to what they feel like making sticky.

Awesome thread Ajay, I'm glad we finally have a thread to discuss animation specifically related to the upcoming movie.
It's nice to see Shintani was picked over an audition and not because of his connections with Nagamine, it really means Shintani was the perfect designer for the approach they were going for.

So what non-Toei animators would you guys like to see work on this movie?

It would be a dream for me if Naoki Kobayashi worked on this movie. He made lots of absolutely fantastic fight scenes on Naruto/Boruto such as Kakashi vs Obito, Sakura vs Shin, and many, many more.

After almost 3 years dealing with DBS messy schedule, it's kinda strange that everything seems going well behind the scenes with this Movie.

If they've been working on this designs for one year and with feedback from Toriyama, seems like this franchise is about to enter a new era.
I'm not seeing why they would work so hard, if they would only use those designs for the 20th Movie.

Toriyama keeps surprising me by how involved he is with the franchise nowadays. He checks everything.

Naruto always felt like watching the ninja-asian version of South park :) Why would anyone want this instead of Shida/Takahashi`s DBS? No insult but DB is far better than Naruto or One piece will ever be. More liked also. I don`t remember people chanting Naruto on city squares :) There are only 3 things that get people on the streets chanting: The pope, Football and DBS lately.

When you have a tight schedule, you can doubt what path to choose: better movements, FLUIDITY (hate this word already) or more shading and generally better character art, keyshots and so on. But with a movie that has all the time they want, there is no point to compromise. You can have both! DB movies always had a good quality, I`m pretty sure they`ll tackle it again. Stop comparing DB to Naruto and One piece. OPM, FMA, Bleach even, I can understand. But these 2 are not anime. They are like Pokemon or Chichan (I liked this one)...

Honestly I see no need for DBS`s animation style to change. Just when we got on the right track with Super in TOP. There is so much anime in the world and DB is unique among them. Why change the most loved anime of all time? Someone should make a pole about what style of animation, we, the fans want and settle this once and for all.

One Piece is the biggest anime and manga in Japan. Naruto is around as known as DB is. Saying they aren't anime makes you sound stupid. And no need for a pole. If you look around there is only praise for the new style with a small minority disliking it. Stop hyping up DB. Pokemon is possibly more popular and loved. DB can't compare to the amount of praise anime movies like Your Name or Spirited Away got. DB is big but it isn't different than any other anime in some regards. Just wait and see. The fluidity of this movie from its character acting to its fights will blow anything db has ever made out of the water.
I called it that Gogeta, Bardock, and something Broly related would be in the movie before it was even announced that it was a Broly movie. 8)

Do we know how many freelancer animators are going to be on the film? I know that a few other studios are involved with this project but I wanted to know if we could get some people that really great freelancers like Shida and Takahashi.

In terms of regular Toei Animation staff, I imagine Tate Naoki and Oonishi Ryou will be providing quite a bit of animation since Tate was so heavily involved in Dragon Ball and Oonishi is a connection of Nagamine's. They would also do really well with the designs Shintani is providing. I also suspect that Kuroyanagi Kenji will be involved since a small number of lines is typically his thing.

Those scenes are better animated and more expressive than anything in Dragon Ball. Detailed drawings don't automatically equal quality, although I wouldn't exactly call what Kobayashi did in those examples simple. The shapes of his effects and the smears take a lot of skill and experience to make move.

There's a reason why veteran animators and directors are experimenting and recruiting young new staff. The Japanese animation industry has always been about experimenting, it's how we got every series and film from the beginning of time until now. How is this difficult to consider?
