I said didnt I...what's d use of peak artsyle when its animation, fight, character design, characterization, voice acting, etc were bad.mute_proxy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 9:45 amThe artstyle was at peak, and the animation was on par with Z.

Animation & artsyle going hand-in-hand makes for great watch. Name single fight from GT that rivals Dbz's Goku vs Cell, Kid Boo or Vegeta/Piccolo/Gohan fights.
Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
Dragon Ball and Z, and even Super have a timeless feel to them. There's something old and something futuristic about all of the designs so it feels like it takes place at a unknown point in time. Similar to the Tim Burton Batman movies.
GT feels dated. All the "hip" redesigns make it very much a product of its time.
Who ever put the mustache on Vegeta was out of their mind. Thankfully it was quickly rectified.

Toriyama designed the main cast, the ship, Giru too I think, made some alien planet drawings used in the show, but not SS4

Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
To be fair I do think there's a big difference between Toriyama designing a character he knows he's gonna be working on for the next several months/years, and him designing a character for a project he's only barely involved with (see: GT, DB video games, Dragon Quest)
Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
Most of those designs are ok except for Vegeta for obvious reasons, Krillin looks twice his age and Bra in a weird hooker outfit.
I can't believe Toryiama thought that design looked good for Vegeta. He must have thought GT was going to be a parody or something.

SSJ4 was designed by Nakatsuru, not Toriyama. If Toriyama designed it it wouldn't be as cool as it is obviously.Vijay wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 3:53 amWait what?!

I'm not sure but if i recall correctly he made it as a joke to surprise and confuse TOEI animation. I might be wrong. But he certainly didn't think it looks good.omegacwa wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 8:48 am Most of those designs are ok except for Vegeta for obvious reasons, Krillin looks twice his age and Bra in a weird hooker outfit.

Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
You don't think Kuririn is 53/54 years old? Seems fine to me. Probably because Toei made him still active and able to fight, if he were a decrepit old man who couldn't even move, then yeah...

Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
kuririn has always looked way too hard in all the EoZ, GT era stuff. i really don't get it, he looks so much older than bulma, chichi, and yamucha (more so talking about his appearance on the last title page), it's so weird.
also i guess i'm in the minority because i think mustache vegeta looks hilarious.

Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
Now that you mentioned it, Krillin does look waay older. Maybe cuz he was human, coupled with the fact he settled for domestic life...looks as the same reason why Veggie grew a moustache as he's easily moodiest, angriest as well as most disciplined character throughout Z...omegacwa wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 11:55 amIn that drawing Krillin looks 65-80 years old to me.
Oob's gi sure give-away as Goku's student lol His build also gives off Teen Gohan vibe.
Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
Isn't bulla suppose to be like a child in gt? so why is she dressed like a thot?
Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
Like Mother, like daughter I guess
Bulma during heyday DB days was kinda...thot. And Bulla is daughter of Prince of Saiyan & daughter of Capsule Corp's heir. Guess it runs in the family
Just wished Pan & Bulla had more interactions in GT. Would've been fun tbh

Re: DBGT: General Designs/Visuals & Music Opinions
I wish they had ANY interaction in GT. Seriously, i don't think they ever talked with each other. I always wished there was a slice of life kind of episode with Pan hanging out with Bra, maybe even Marron. They could go shopping or something. To not make it a totally pointless episode there could be a robbery which Pan would stop for example. There isn't much space for it sadly, it'd have to be between Baby and Super 17 arcs which is the only time in GT except for first two episodes when there is a peace on Earth and Goku and others are not in space. Super 17 arc goes into Shadow Dragons instantly and then we have end of series after that.
