I was just about to ask about Dragonball GT. Other than, it was Kakarrot-centric and it was far too short I actually like the show, and I believe it presented the best conclusion to the story, especially when you compare it this DBO stuff. I would welcome some calendars, games and so forth focused on GT.
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

Maybe if they had Goku and his friends at a formal party or at a carnival or playing video games... Something new. Maybe it's just me though. :?
Something like this you mean?

I found this on Yahoo, Japan. This is from a old calendar... Wish I could find better versions because I've never seen this images before today.
Yeah, I loved the early-mid nineties artwork for Dragonball and Dragonball Z released by Toei (that's right, right?). There's just something much more appealing and natural to them as opposed to, 'HERE YA GO! Shiny new artwork for everyone, with super-bright colors and shine on everything! Skin, hands, clothes and all!' The same goes for a comparison between the animation from the series/movies, and the newer style present within Video game intros, etc.

I love that idea so much I wish Toriyama would create a one shot of all the Dragonball gang playing various sports with each other.

ABSO-FRIGGING-LUTELY. I can't begin to explain just how horrible the most recent art styles, like the one used in Path to Power looks to me. God, those vicious gigantic shinies.... they hurt me so.

On note of calender- does anyone know if they'll be doing character-specific ones again? And love of god does anyone know where I can find the 08 Piccolo one because not owning that thing and knowing it exists makes my skull hurt sometimes.
