They're ducks. I'm quacking up looking at this. No shade to GOATiyama-san but this looks hilarious. Is that the point?The Monkey King wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2023 4:22 pm
Modern Toriyama's art continues to be awful for Dragon Ball, the way they're standing just looks... weird![]()
Modern Toriyama is a lost cause when it comes to muscles and his current style doesn't fit how some of these characters are supposed to look. I don't know any other artist that started to draw everyone skinny as he got older. That's why I don't agree with the idea that new character designs for the anime, like from Shintani, should emulate his modern style instead of his prime. He's clearly past it.
I should clarify that I love Toriyama's current art style and am always curious about how Super would look drawn by him. (Although I think anyone who would expect his style to remain exactly the same were he doing so is also fooling themselves--it would undoubtedly naturally shift a bit to accommodate the frequent action scenes, just as the original run did.)Mr Baggins wrote: ↑Sun Aug 06, 2023 5:23 pm Love Toriyama's art, modern or not. Love his Saiyaman X-1 and X-2 designs and corrections. Love his Clean God design. Would be over the moon if he drew an entire arc or even just a chapter himself (even though we all know he won't).
Simple as.
Amen to that.The Monkey King wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2023 10:47 amThe DBS manga is trash and the sooner DBS ends the better
Wouldn't it be easier to wait until it's over to read if you feel that way? There are plenty of series that I waited until they ended to bingewatch or read. Although that's only if I have some interest in them. I can't really think of any series that I thought was horrible and hoped it was ending while still checking new chapter or episode. At least bingereading after it ends means you only have to suffer through it once for a few hours than every month for a few years.Noah wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 12:40 pmAmen to that.The Monkey King wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2023 10:47 amThe DBS manga is trash and the sooner DBS ends the better
Well it wouldn't be dead and just another finished story. To be fair, I don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting it to become another zombie franchise that only stops when it loses money. Eventually the DBS manga will be over so I just think it's easier to wait for that than keep reading by chapter if you genuinely don't like any of it.GreatSaiyaman123 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:40 pmI’m pretty sure Dragon Ball would be dead without Super.

The series survived on games for 20 years. Let the series that ended in 1995 end and stay gone this time.GreatSaiyaman123 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:40 pm I’m pretty sure Dragon Ball would be dead without Super. Wishing for Super to end is wanting to pull the life support plug.
Er...so what, though? It's not our job to keep a commercial venture going.GreatSaiyaman123 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:40 pm I really dig Modern Toriyama’s more cartoonish art style, but by Kami this is horrendous. They look so flat.

I like Super, but I’m eagerly awaiting it ending on its own terms. The story can be finished again.GreatSaiyaman123 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:40 pm I really dig Modern Toriyama’s more cartoonish art style, but by Kami this is horrendous. They look so flat.

This is exactly what I want. As far as I'm concerned, DBS is the equivalent of "Zombie Simpsons": a shell of its former self, that refuses to die simply because it makes money.GreatSaiyaman123 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 4:40 pm I really dig Modern Toriyama’s more cartoonish art style, but by Kami this is horrendous.
