No not all. I love the older animation better as well! Heck, I won't really watch a-lot of new Anime because the way it's Animated. lol I just started watching Toriko because it makes me laugh. but believe me, I'm right there with ya bud.Metalwario64 wrote:I feel like I'm the only one that likes the original animation better than those newly animated scenes (for the most part).

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
Go with the happy medium between then and now with the Budokai opening animations. It's enough to show its clearly new animation while at the same time resembling the original animation to a great degree. As I said above it would be cheaper to animate than the way DBZ is being done now. I really dont see how a remade series in the Budokai series could fail as its basically what fans were expecting in the first place.Bejiita wrote:To be honest, what I prefer about the DBZ in its original style is the way it's drawn, unfortunately, in the new style we get characters looking all plastic-like and really static and unrealistic, it looks like the characters are straight off the cover of a PS3 game, or a magazine cover, laminated and shining way too much, and not to mention the way Toriyama drew his characters is in the distant past, these new drawings just make DB look too different, at least in the original anime the artists did more or less make it look exactly how the manga looked, minus a few cheep studios like triangle crap.
But on the flip side, a new series would be nice, because there's something about seeing Ki blasts being fired... the way anime is produced nowadays looks so fluid, and that's one thing DBZ is about, speed and fast paced action, and this is one of the things the new animation triumphs over the old with, the fights have the potential to look blinding, some of the fights in DBZ would look incredible in new animation, the Freeza battle, redrawn and removed of its filler would be a awesome, well, pretty much every fight would, I guess it's a long shot, and I thought I was hooked on the old score used throughout DB/Z, but the score in new movie does sound really fresh and I liked it very much, so it would be possible to have a new series, that looks fresh and if done properly, would really work.
This summarizes everything.Hellspawn28 wrote:This is what Kai should have been. Sadly Toei is too cheap to use a decent budget for a project like this.
A true remake of the series wouldn't replace the old anime. It would just be a different version of it. So why prefer a half-assed edit of the old anime instead of a proper remake...? At least it would be something truly new. Instead we have Kai which is just an cut and edited version of DBZ with an inferior soundtrack and worse voice acting... No matter how much more I would prefer the old animation style to the new ones, I wouldn't ever prefer Kai over a real remake due to this.Metalwario64 wrote:I feel like I'm the only one that likes the original animation better than those newly animated scenes (for the most part).

Of course. As I've said, if it was more along the lines of the Budokai intro style, I wouldn't be against it. But if Kai had been reanimated by Toei, it would look like the other modern Dragon Ball works, and between that an the original animation, I'd prefer the original.rereboy wrote:Also the art style and quality of the animation of a remake nowadays would depend only on the budget and on the people they had working on it.
