Another in-between shot from Kai, but from inside an actual episode.

If I recall, the original shot wasn't that much better...
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Oh yeah? Oh, yeah... I guess it was crappy. I don't know I didn't realize it then... But it does look crappier in Kai by everything be more digital looking.

I don't know. Neither of those look as bad as those Vegeta shots...

Yeah, but Toei had something that existed before with the Raditz shot and they made it worse just like a lot of areas in Kai.

Oh, no, I wasn't trying to compare the original to the redrawn. I'm just saying that, for the people who are defending the in-between shots on the opening of Kai, I just can't recall ever noticing in-betweens that bad in the original series. And don't say, "You're not supposed to notice them," because, well, you're right, I didn't consciously. But I always did notice something weird about the animation in Dragon Soul that displeased me, and I'm really thinking now it was these horrendously horrible in-betweens.

Very nice. Though white is such a boring color. Even if it's just a little.

I don't hate the super busy cover, but I also like the simple cover of the actual release. Either one would be fine to me, but a busy cover would look best looking like the Jump Special instead of just a bunch of random moments pasted all over each other.

Huh? Fri­eza-arc Super Saiyan Goku and villains for the beginning of the Saiyan-arc? Why has this thread become a "create-your-cover" thread?

It's all my fault for trying to make a point earlier. -_-; Also, didn't realize how that calendar art could be used as some awesome cover art.
