Hokuto no Ken? Yes

Saint Seiya? No, the Hades arc is a continuation of the series after the original ended with the Poseidon arc, so it's not "rebuild" per say.

If it were to start with the Bardock special - i'de have baby Kakkarot drawn out with the same old round pudgy style as he is in the early DB episodes. and agree zoiozazu - no GT.

I am also opposed to modern style added - especially that to the likes of GT..
Just Saiyan...

It's very pretty, and I know that if a Dragonball one were done (maybe a few feature length films like Hokuto no Ken's "____ Gaiden" series), the majority of original voice actors would be there, unlike HNK.
Hokuto no Ken's Shin Kyuuseishu Densetsu Ken series? Yeah, it's a step up from the late 80's animation (Kenshiro has TWO shoulder pads throughout all the movies from the start, so that's a big plus...even though it was Mad-Max style until the end of the Southern Cross arc.)

Still, the way they had them come out was really...confusing. It goes from the Sacred Emperor arc, to the Southern Cross arc, to the Last Arc? They all intertwine, but the order is sort of mish-mashed so people can get to the eye-candy sooner.

If Dragonball did something like that, I would like them to do something a little more...orderly. I have no problems with changing things around, because it'd be a nice approach. But it's a bit confusing when things are out of order.
