Stuff I didn't notice about...

Post by Attitudefan » Sat Jun 18, 2011 6:42 pm

In Z, you have Last House do almost all of the episodes (well most anyways) and It always irked me to see a really well drawn and animated episode for one episode in ten then get Last Houses terrible art for the majority... I know this is because of money etc. but that is not the point I wanted to get into.
The thing I didn't notice when watching Z and notice all the time in Kai, is how all those episodes are cut right out! All the well drawn/animated episodes almost all in tacked, back to back (pretty much).

So this is where I really noticed it: On the episode where piccolo goes up to God and wants to merge with him. The good animation is playing, goes to a short moment of Last house that lasts like 2 minutes and then back to a well animated episode again (but in Kai it's all in one) This isn't distracting, but I that means all the crappy animated episodes have all filler and everything important was done by the better studios (makes sense right?)

Last House, I guess, followed the manga for a bit with mostly filler in their episodes. One thing I would like to see is Dragonball without Last House but then again, DragonBall was worse than Z by spamming Last Houses studios in ALL their episodes! :lol:

Last House's Vegeta in the Cell saga... yeah
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

Oh - oh, God! Kill it! KILL IT WITH FIRE. :twisted:

Anyway, what *sort of* irks me about Kai is how in the middle of an episode, you have shitty animation out of nowhere. It's kind of creepy, like they want me to view this horrible art. :|
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

Lol, LoL!

Yeah, it's quite noticeable, and Kai has more of the good over the bad, it just jumps to "this" and surprised the viewer. Imagine a first time viewer unknowing of the original Dragonball and they're watching Kai. I bet it would startle and confuse them whilst being distracted by the terrible art.

Anyways, Last House is just TERRIBLE! I hate that they're there in the first place, and now I'm glad they got stuck animating a lot of filler! Good riddance to this monster known as last house! :twisted:

BTW, that picture should be their logo, like "use our studio and this is your fate to your show."
